Re: Model A CRASH??
The european picture of the wrecker and tudor are from Ireland . The car has a Northern Ireland registration plate . It would be a Manchester Trafford Park built car most likely a AF 14.9 HP small bore engine . Note the fender lights .The car in the background is a circa 1930 Austin "7" .

Re: Model A CRASH??
It looks like the "Jaws of life" were used to take the roof off to get the passegers out .. An English club member was T boned by a drunk coming out of a side road . The emergency services did this to his lovely 30 coupe but it did save his life . He made a more or less full recovery over time .He was in intensive care for a month .I will try to post a pic .

Re: Model A CRASH??
The 'safety glass' is merely a sandwich of two pieces of glass laminated together with a sheet of plastic. In the event of breaking, it is held in place by an interlayer, typically of polyvinyl butyral, or ethylene-vinyl acetate, between its two layers of glass. It will spider but not shatter apart, in most situations.

It's too bad they didn't set it upright, then remove the driver, rather than cut the top off with the jaws of life.

Re: Model A CRASH??
In Dallas we have lots of people with no insurance and they don't pay for repairs or hospital bills. :-)
