The Ford Barn

While driving my 1930 Model A coupe on the Blue Ridge Parkway I experienced a flat tire. Now having a flat tire wasn't a first for me what followed was. A stranger pulled over and asked politely if he could change my tire. He was so fascinated with this old technology that he wanted to get his hands on this old metal. At first I said thank you for the offer but I really could handle this tire change. The stranger looked so sad, I mean he looked like a child with no toys. Then I said sure go for it. A big smile returned to his face. Still nice people around.

Who knows, you might have just started a new devotee on his way to A happiness!

never know, maybe he had a fond memory of a grandfather or dad who had a model A and wanted to relive a memory.

We may just have a future Model A owner, when I attend local cruise-ins with my Model A it gets far more attention than the "Muscle Cars" Our cars are automotive history, plus just look so darn beautiful!
