What age group???
 

Every day when I review your threads and reponses I wonder just what is the average age of the guys/girls that belong and use this forum. Has it ever been determined? Just curious, thats all. And oh, my speedometer will hit 70 this year. Thanks.

Re: What age group???
 

I'm 42. Had my "A" for 12 years now and the V8 for 7 years.

Re: What age group???
 

Just turned 38, going on 19. Been in an "A" Ford since I was about 5. Before that it was "T"'s.

Re: What age group???
 

i'm 18, and have been enjoying model a's for 18 years

Re: What age group???
 

The way I do the math, I am 49 and 361/365ths.
My Model A experience started when my Dad bought a '31 Pick-Up when I was about 14. I found a funny looking gear in a box of miscellaneous parts and I felt the desire to find out where it went. Turns out it was the speedometer drive gear. Still have the Pick-up, the rear-end is currently in my Phaeton and that speedo drive gear still isn't working.

Re: What age group???
 

I'm 57. Was bitten by the Model A bug when my uncle taught me how to drive when I was 13 or so in a cutdown AA truck.

Re: What age group???
 

I am 62. Bought mine in October of last year.

Re: What age group???
 

I am 65. Started with the model A when I was 13, and my father and I restored a town sedan. My brother has that car now, along with a roadster and a pickup and 3 doodlebugs. My other brother has a doodlebug, as he cant see well enough to get a license. I have had a few dozen model A's, and now just have the tudor I bought in 1975. It brought my sons home from the hospital when they were born. (try that today with all the child protection laws) I threw a party for the car when it turned 80 years old. I have a lot of cars, so it does not get out as much as it used to, but is still on the road regularly. I started restoring cars full time in 1988, and have restored many model A's for customers. More info on my web site.

Re: What age group???
 

31 here... and I have a 31 coupe! I caught the bug (and the car) from my Grandad. I'm a pilot now but grew up spending time on the family farm and always loved wrenching on anything with a motor and spending time outdoors. I'm certainly having a lot of fun with the hobby and enjoying all the people I'm meeting in my local club. It makes the city life a lot more tolerable when you find a good church and other good groups (I.E. the local A club) to be a part of. :cool: Amazing how a feeling of "community" can draw people together and have a good time!

Re: What age group???
 

I am 47, my family has always been into the Model "A" Ford see my avitar.
I am very fortunate that my parents , wife and my 2 boys love the Model A hobby.

Re: What age group???
 

I'm 21. Restored my first A when I was 15.

Re: What age group???
 

I'm 65. These numbers are going to be skewed due to younger people being computer literate and as the age increases the litteracy goes down. So there are going to be many that won't be responding.

Re: What age group???
 

Was 66 Sunday Model A 6 yrs.

Re: What age group???
 

I'm 70 & glad to see so many younger "motorheads" are into Model "A's."

Re: What age group???
 

I'm 70, but glad to see so many "youngsters" taking up the model A hobby. Means my widow won't have any trouble selling the roadster. . . . When the time comes!!

Re: What age group???
 

I'm 54 and bought my A 12 years ago. My Dad has always had A's. Ron

Re: What age group???
 

I hope this does not skew the average computation, but I am 127 years old.

Re: What age group???
 

I'm 31 and have been restoring and repairing early fords since I was 18. Started with the 31 Victoria. I'm currently finsihing up a 39 pickup. You can find the progress pics on the early V8 page.

Been working on old Fords ever since- in addition to building my personal cars I do customer cars as well.

Re: What age group???
 

73.... if I remember right......
First Model A in 1974 after wanting one for 20 years but it was too far gone and I was getting moved around on the job too much so it had to go down the road. Next one was 27 years later, in 2001. Currently have a 31 Deluxe Coupe and 31 Huckster-to-be.

Re: What age group???
 

I'm 31. got into old cars from my grandpa and his friends as a kid. Bought a 34 ford pick up when I was 15 and sold it about six years ago to buy my A.

Re: What age group???
 

I just turned 76 and have owned or restored over 20 Model A's and still have my 29 Special coupe since 1980 and the 30 roadster since 2005. Just finishing a 29 Town sedan for someone else and starting a 30 pickup restoration also for someone else. Always loved Model A's since I saw my first phaeton when I was 12. These cars keep you young.

Re: What age group???
 

68. Got my Ford in 1960, when I was 17.

Re: What age group???
 

I am almost 21 and have been collecting and working on cars for about 4 years now. I just purchased my 1930 Ford Model A Murray Bodied Town Sedan. My great grandfather collected Ford Model T's as well as Ford Model A's, but sold off his collection before I was born. According to my grandmother he had every year and model of the T's and A's in his collection. I think that is where I get my love for old cars. It's a fun hobby and am very glad to finale have a Ford Model A in my collection.
