[Gary loves Fords]

I have a 1909 Model T (first production year) and a 1927 Model T (last production year) and a 1930 Model A deluxe phaeton. Also 6 more collector cars. The 1927 Model T is the least expensive one in my collection, but by far the most fun to drive, both on tours and in rush hour traffic on busy streets. I drove her on a tour around Michigan and covered 750 miles in 6 days and was the best tour of my life. True, not as fast as a Model A, but I was clocked in my 1909 Model T at 42 MPH, which was pushing her a little too much. The A takes much less time to get used to driving, as it is more of a conventional manual transmission and clutch. Model T's are not at all hard to drive! Just different. After 20 minuets of instruction, you will become a Model T driver. My suggestion is find someone to take your Wife for a ride and show her how to drive a Model T and then a Model A and make the choice. If you can afford it, get one of each, as both are more bang for the buck than any other antique or collector car.
