Another Model A mangled
Read this on Jalopnik. Everyone was ok but poor Model A and this has been in their family since new. I wonder if this can be re restored???? Always a shame seeing this happen!

Re: Another Model A mangled
First, I am glad that no one was seriously injured. I am guessing the gentleman in the head bandage walking around was the A driver. Always a good sign when the accident victim is upright and talking.
Second, The A looks like it made a good account of itself compared to the Pizza Hut car. I think the A could be rebuilt. What does anyone else think?

Re: Another Model A mangled
Pretty sad! Not good publicity for Pizza Hut. Wonder if the corporation will do what they can to make it right.
...and the kid getting the info wrong... "1932 Model A" For some reason, that's bothering me.

Re: Another Model A mangled
No way would I consider that car "totaled". I think it is very fixable.

Re: Another Model A mangled
Could have been left over stock sold new in 32. The pizza care looks worse!

Your results may vary. Keep your heads up boyz, were are competing with too many distracted drivers. By the way I would have grabbed a piece of pizza while waiting for the Leos and emergency people to finish up. Would that be a crime? or just dessert? |

Wish my Cabriolet looked as good as the coupe does.

Re: Another Model A mangled
The light color should have made the Ford pretty visible, but the almighty cell phone could have been a factor.

Re: Another Model A mangled
I am guessing it will need a different frame so the body comes off...but it sure took out that Pizza delivery vehicle.

Re: Another Model A mangled
It is great no one was seriously injured. Looks like that "1932 Model A" came out a l;ot better that the other car.I agree with FiV-hard to think that type of impact could come from two cars both turning left and it looks like the pizza hit the Ford. It would be interesting to see the police report.
