Hubert H. Humphrey
 

When Hubert Humphrey was Vice President of the United States, the Pikes Peak Chapter made him an honorary member. I thought there was an article in the Restorer at about the same time showing him with his Model A. The Restorer Index only lists the honorary membership. Does anyone else have a recollection of the Model A he owned and where it was pictured?

I am seeking unusual items for the Model A museum being built at Hickory Corners, MI and any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

That is when Pikes Peak made him an honorary member, there was one with a picture of him with his Model A, but I can't find that picture.

John,

You might try contacting the HHH Library (if there is such a thing) and inquire there.

John, When I was a boy in the sixties , growing up in Minnesota, Hubert Humphrey was a hero of mine because he had a model a. I can remember it was a two door sedan. I believe either the St Paul pioneer press or the Star Tribune did an article about it. One of them may have it in their archives. He also had a developly disabled child. I think he was a great guy and most minnesotans were very proud of him,but I liked him because of his model A. Frank

I was born in Brevard county Florida. We have a large bridge that goes over the Indian River named after HHH. He got the Air Force and NASA together to agree to help fund the project because of the population boom in the area around the Space Center made the old 2 lane bridge inadequate at rush hour. A new 4 lane bridge was built in 1971.

HHH has one rather modern looking 28 Phaeton there. What is that thing?

Glassic #159 - a not very authentic reproduction of the 1931 180A. HHH donated it to the Minnesota Courage Center, which sold it on eBay in 2006 - it's currently owned by a private party in Vermont.

Re: Hubert H. Humphrey
 

There was a Glassic at Iola this year. I had seen pictures but had never seen one before. Look a little like an A but not much. At least they had it parked with the post war cars and didn't claim it to be anything but what it is.

Re: Hubert H. Humphrey
 

Was the Glassic anything like a Shay? I've seen a Shay.

Re: Hubert H. Humphrey
 

Glassic was originally built beginning in 1966 on an International Scout platform until 1971. 72-74 had a Ford 302 v8, co went bankrupt and came back as Replicar from 76-81, also with the Ford 302 v8. Total production was about 1620 cars.
