New York Times Full Page Model A Article
Todays (March 27th) New York Times has an almost full page article on one family that has owned a 1931 Slant Window Fordor through several generations. It is on page B9 which is part of the Business section of the paper, and besides text are four photos. It is an interesting article and frankly the New York Times is not where you would expect to find such a story. As I am in my 80th year pf owning my 1930 Coupe it hit home with me.

Re: New York Times Full Page Model A Article
Aok - I think it depends on how many times you have been to a NYT article in the recent past. Cookies, and all that....... I just tried again, and was blocked.

That car is identical to the one my father had and sold 40 years ago I have tried to buy it back but the owner doesn't want to let it go. Try opening the link in an incogneto mode if it kicks you out.

Re: New York Times Full Page Model A Article
An interesting thing in the article is how the dad made a new manifold heater from scratch..

Works from here. If it doesn't, fire up a different brand of browser and copy the URL into it. Experts here at getting around Ruperts paywalls. |

Re: New York Times Full Page Model A Article

Interesting. I normally use Firefox, which produced the result in my post #9 above - tried it with IE and got the result you describe. |
