The 31 Model A Town Sedan and the 19 Model T with a Mifflinburg body

Both belonged to my dad and I drove them to High School in the early 60's.
The A to school when my 41 Ford opera coupe was broken (often) and the T to football games with the cheerleaders.

It was taken by Bruce Adams, and it is one of the best photos of my Model "A" ever taken.

Because it's a lot prettier than I am! When the '29 is done this summer, it'll be the '29. Doing the bed now. Worst part of the entire project. Man I'm getting tired of body work. Give me a wrench any day. When I'm done, I never want to see another piece of sand paper as long as I live.

I had just located the correct radiator shell and Canadian 1930 Emblem for my Phaeton, leaned it up against a wall and took the photo, the rest is history. Just a fluke, I doubt that I could recreate the photo if I had to, I like it.

because no matter how frustrating my model A can be, I can always look back to its condition when it arrived and be proud.

GT Alumni Assoc Roadster (no NOT the Ramblin Wreck) in front of the Atlanta History Museum. I always liked this pic, it is the right size, I'm an (old and getting older) Alum now so this is appropriate.
