Default A Few Model A's at the Gilmore Meet

Here are pictures of a few of the Model A's I saw at the Gilmore museum a couple months ago. I don't know who owned the 400A and don't know if that's a Tux-A-Way or another brand of rumble top, but it sure was nice.

The Taxi and pickup were both donated to the museum, and were both quality restorations, and a nice addition to the museum.

Here is Tim Kelly's Town Car. Mr. Kelly also brought his Model K to the museum. Two more beautiful cars displayed at Gilmore. Years ago when I fist saw a Model A Town Car in a magazine I thought the squared off rear didn't look too good, but when you see the Town Car in person it's a beautiful car and the rear looks very nice.

That sure looks like my good friend Bob Anderson's award winning Cabriolet

I wonder if Gilmore is ever planning on having an "antique car day" where all of the museums bring out their cars like we do on IMD? That would be neat to see all of the Model A's, Lincolns, Cords, Duesies, etc. out on the lawn for people to see.

Thanks for sharing that Tom. I believe that I saw that Town Car on the streets of Richland, about 4 miles south of Gilmores.
