I have owned three model A's since 1956. One at a time, I now have a 1932 CCPU . I sold my 28 Sport Coupe {after 25 years} to a friend so I still have visitation rights.



I have mistakes I haven't even used yet.

In 2003, after the restoration of my truck, Aerocraft, who is a member of my local MARC Region, told me words I'll never forget;

"The average Model A owner owns 3 Model As and you do NOT want to be below average."

Just one and my only one - A 1930 Coupe - bought in the Fall of 1961 for $125 - my very first car when I was a sophomore in high school.

Only one - 30 Standard Coupe. I'd love to have more (like a Town Sedan), but it would have to be big enough that I can sleep in it!!

I've got two. Both drivers.
I've been driving my bone stock '28 Special Coupe for 23 or so years now, and just this fall acquired a '31 pickup from my brother. Dad has a '28 pickup which he has had since about 1960. I'm pretty sure that pile of parts will wind up here too. I'm blessed. Two Harley's, two A's, no payments, no worries.
