Default Re: Cross Country in a Model A

Drove my '30 sedan in my avatar from Fort Worth, TX to Detroit, MI and into Canada before going to the Model A Museum's grand opening in 2013-- then headed back home. It was almost 4,000 miles round trip and I had no major issues. Just a broken alternator bracket that was re-welded a trucking yard.

Took that car to the 2018 MARC meet in Branson, MO. I think that was about a 1,500 round trip, not quite the same adventure.

In June we are taking the car to Breckenridge, CO for the High Country Tour. This will be it's second trip to Breckenridge. It's right at 1,000 miles one-way and with the mileage while touring there, I anticipate a 2,500 trip.

Long distance trips are the best time in a Model A. While I enjoy driving it in town, really stretching it's legs and seeing the back roads of America really is better than staying on the main highways. I have 44,000 miles on this particular sedan in touring and probably about 17,000 between my other two.
