Now this guy is in bad need of a restore. Looks like he's been sitting in the barn a little too long...

This was the first time I've gone to a Model A event. Being new in the Model A world it is a great help as I took maybe 400 pictures of set ups from tool boxes to trunks, interiors, etc... I would advise anyone who is new to the hobby to attend an event like this. Great people, great times!

I agree Kevin. The town of Sharon puts on a great Model A event and is very supportive of the hobby. I attended in 2009 and I thought I was stepping back in time. I thought MARC's Rockford A's co-sponsor the event, but see no mention of the chapter?

Rockford A's did sponsor and did a great job. Really nice people in that Club!

That mail truck is Frank Koeder's. I think it was in the Warshawski collection. $40K, I think.

I love the pic. of the little kid working on the engine. That could have been me 50 years ago. I always knew I'd own a Model A some day. It took me 35 years to get one, but now I've owned 4 and looking for more.
