Well, I guess it was bound to happen.
A couple years ago I took a coupe to the local cars and coffee events.
After securing a large coffee I returned to the coop and found a young man just looking at everything on my car. His initial comment was how different mine was than his. I thought he was referring to the OHV head, 5 speed and Halibrand rearend. Then he brought his over close to mine and I noticed it was a Shay. He had purchased it off the web for a pretty penny and was told it was an authentic Model "A".

I see him every now and then and we chat, he enjoys it, Good on Him.
