The Ford Barn

Shadetree · 04-10-2011, 01:27 PM

This is interesting! The average age for the Model T guys on Fordbarn Forum is 56.2777 years old.

The Model A guys on Fordbarn Forum average age is about 55 years old, according to another poll.

The average age for the Early V-8 guys on Fordbarn Forum is 59.5606 years old.

The Overall Average Age on Fordbarn Forums by adding the three average ages is 56.9461. I don't have the Model A guys ages, just their average.

Again, this is an unofficial poll, but it surpises me...

Many, many thanks to those that participated!!

And here I was thinking we were a bunch of old farts. We are just a bunch of kids.

I may have to grow old but I don't have to grow up.

How old do you have to be to officially become a "CODGER?" L.O.L.

If I'd known I was going to get this old, I would have taken better care of myself.

And some of us didn't vote. The other thing I have noticed is some people on Fordbarn don't even own a particular car yet hang out on a specific forum I guess just to have something to do.

Ironically, there is a strong movement in the Model T clubs with 30-something family men that have their wife beside them and the kids in the backseats on tours. For me personally, I am seeing younger ppl on the Model T tours than I am seeing at the Model A events. I also see much older folks driving on the Model T tours than in the A's. I have not been to an Early V8 meet in years to know what the demographics is with that group. I too am often intrigued by the type of person that is attracted to a particular type of vehicle.

Not very...I've been a codger most of my life.

I also like the word "curmudgeon".

My Model A business card says "Practicing curmudgeon and purveyor in rusty iron"

I didn't get to vote either, i'm only 23 so i would have brought the average down.

dr.j · 04-12-2011, 03:28 PM

I never would have thought that my Model A would turn my crank as it does; wish I had taken a little more care in those younger years.
