hey, my father just sold his 70ss camaro and 55 chevy to buy a new triumph motorcycle. some kinda prostate therapy. i guess.

i've only got the one '29 model A but it's in a million pieces, if that counts for more.
then there's my '47cj2a fun in the mud running project and all it's donor parts lay'n about.
keep it stupid, simple.

I own just one Model A, a 1930 Ford Model A Murray Town Sedan. Just payed for it today actually. I own 13 different cars currently and will keep buying them as long as I can afford to! I dont think there is limit to how many cars one can own. If your having fun buying and collecting cars, then why stop?

Nice thread! Very interesting!

Started out with just one for about two years, my 29 coupe. Now I have three. It is a addiction.

Well, I can say that I not only own my first ever Model A Coupe, "Miss Tillie", but I also built my first-ever VW Dunebuggy in 1968 and I'm still driving it, still looks good. (@ 40 mpg too). That's not to mention 3 snowmobiles (one of which I rode yesterday for the first time this season), a Quad ATV, 2 trucks and a CRV. My wife says we're going Insurance broke..

Maybe it's time to talk to Haggerty.......Hm-m-m-m-m....?

I've been searching for a Model A or T for many years without breaking the bank...Finally one came to me out of the blue just 10 miles from home 3 weeks ago. A 1930 Tudor Sedan in need of some work, cheap, and now I can build it the way I want. It's fun imagining what life must have been like back then, I'm even searching everywhere for period correct items to use or display. Remember the old Sears catalogs, I do, you know the ones from the 70's, they were HUGE. And them there Wards Catalogs, WOW.
I own many old and even older Volkswagens, three 1st Gen RX7's, a couple classic Camaros, and now will be looking for more Model A's or even a T.

I only have 1. As per your original question of who has only 1 Model A. I too have a few other toys, such as a high end custom Harley, an 07 Ultra Classic Harley. I sold my other "A" project to focus on finishing the Coupe restoration. I am looking to buy another with patina when I finsh this resto. I look the unrestored look of my car before the resto started.

Wow, and from the sounds of it those teenage girls are blessed to only have a few wrecked cars on their conscience. Glad you're ok and that you have others!

As for me I've only got one (which used to be my grandfathers). My garage and budget are unfortunately too small for me to afford more at the age of 31. Maybe by the time I"m in my 60s or 70s I'll have that shop with the lift and at least one more... For now the wife, home and (one day) family are taking up the rest of the budget. I'm thankful I get to tinker with my 31 coupe and the fact that I finnally own my own home (and garage) where I can work on it!
