This is nice to know! I just bought my first Model A ('31 Tudor) a month ago and have been enjoying all the info on the forum. Looks like I'll have something else to start searching for...😊

I have a daughter and two son-in-laws that are cops. I asked my daughter if they tend to stop old cars to check them out. She said no, they just admire them and wave. Don't know if all cops are the same but this is just one that likes old cars.

Congrats 99ZoomR! NICE looking Tudor

There is an active Model A Group around the Peoria area with members in Washington and surrounding towns. Check the Model A Ford Club of America roster and you will see their address, meeting times, etc. Rainmaker Ron is near there, a wealth of Model A info nice group of folks I'm told, all of them I was in Morton a couple weeks ago and saw a pretty sharp Washington Blue '30 Tudor wheeling down the street and about an hour later spotted a Ruby Red '30 Pickup that was a head turner, same town (Morton). They're out there in Central Illinois!!

Back in August we motored through Bloomington on our way from Duluth to the Moonshine store to get a hamburger. If you get the chance stop there for a burger, it's a great experience.

Yep! Been there a few times with our British car club. It's about an hour and a half from here, but nice scenery and great burgers.
