Yes and no. Loved showing it, driving it. Hated chasing electrical gremlins. Made good money on it when I sold it that helped put a kid through med school.

Nice wheels Rick! Sorry you weren’t able to keep it.

Beautiful day here today, so I got the Model A out, gave it a bath, and took it for a spin. Gonna have to spend some time overhauling the speedometer. Supposed to be nice again tomorrow so I’ll get the grandson to help detail it.

That one is a real beauty! Am I remembering correctly, that one belonged to a grandfather?
I had several Model A's in my younger days, none like yours but hunting buggies, once common in the Florida woods.

Thanks Phil. It’s been in the family over 90 years. My grandfather bought it in 1933. After grandpa died in 1968 it passed to my dad. He did a lot of restoration (new paint job and interior). Then it came to me when dad passed in 2015. I’ve overhauled mechanical stuff like the engine, gas tank, fuel lines, carburetor, etc.

It’s like my knives - I’m just happy to be caretaker for a while, until it passes to someone else. And like my knives I’m trying to keep it as near original as possible.

Looking good Ken !
Thanks for sharing that old classic. That’s the one you take in your local parades?

Weather is a big factor for me. I'm a fairweather rider and we've had some wet summers lately. I'm considering selling this one.
