We get the same crappy treatment here. I REFUSE to pay for the privilege of putting my car on display for them to charge others to look at it. I've even turned around at the gate when asked for payment. The stunned look on the attendant's face said they expect they should. I wonder how quickly they would make good any damage done to the car while on display, something that should be guaranteed if we have to pay an entry fee.
I think there are many reasons Model A owners are not putting their cars on display so much these days. Parents don't control their kids who climb all over the cars, public interest is waning etc etc. For myself, I tire of the same old ignorance about out cars. How many times have I been told that Model As were only available in black and have the purveyor of that little gem be prepared to argue? (That was the Model T, and then only in the US)
