I have two of my girls in the 2014 "Model A" Hemmings Calender. They are Ms. April and Ms. June. I'm a very proud momma.

Sure can, start here, click onto the Calendar you want, when the next page opens, click the Calendar again. Some incredible cars in those Calendars.

Thanks QGolden, there are some very nice A's pictured on the calendar. I sure like the background also. Makes me wish I lived out west.

BlueSunoco · 10-21-2013, 11:41 AM

Love the '36 Ford ton and a half in the truck calendar!

Got my Model A calendar last week,,, the only one I ever buy. Our local bank gives out some really nice calendars for free, always has farm scenes pretty nice. Never any old cars just the occasional tractor or a work horse.....

mhsprecher · 10-21-2013, 11:45 AM

I have never gotten the Model A calendar, but I like the Abandoned Cars one and the truck one. I have both hanging in my office. They are not cheap, but I guess I could have three, one with last month, one with this month and one with next month! LOL!

foxfire42 · 10-21-2013, 05:11 PM

I just noticed the pics shown on the Hemmings site are not in the same order as the months. My Delivery shows up first but is actually April and The Telephone truck is the seventh but is June.

both cars are beautiful, but i have a special place for blue model a's so the delivery is my pick.

GREAT images and the photography is quite well done!

Ed Saniewski · 10-22-2013, 05:59 AM

I love the tel. Co. truck. Was the canvas cover original or did you reproduce it?

foxfire42 · 10-23-2013, 12:13 PM

Ed, The frame of the Canopy is original to the truck and was is remarkable condition for it's age. The canvas is an almost exact reproduction of the original. There was enough of the original that was folded over along the edge protecting the color to find replacement material. It has since faded slightly. The rear flaps were missing but old photos from Bell System archives and museums were used to duplicate them. This truck rolled off the assembly line as a fleet Vehicle for the Bell System. It is not a "recreation" or "Clone"

Ed Saniewski · 10-23-2013, 03:48 PM

Thanks, I love the fact that the phone co. ordered the spare on the right side so they could put the ladder rack on the left. Is the truck Moss green, or did Ma Bell have their own green color?

foxfire42 · 10-23-2013, 04:37 PM

The color is a Ma Bell Color. Somewhere buried deep in my computer is a picture of a can of Ditzler paint with the AT&T paint number on the label. I think it was M16.

Thanks Foxfire-beautiful trucks! Nicely done....
