I have actually found some of my best purchases at non-Model A vendors. Several years ago at Hershey, I was scouring the Red field and came upon a vendor selling beautifully restored early car brass lights. I stopped to look and noticed an original bakelite terminal box cover. That got my attention. I kept looking and on a back table, I saw a pink and blue box with the Ford logo. I opened it up to find lower radiator hoses, enough for 8 cars. I asked the seller "how much for the box of hoses?" He remarked "them's are new old stock." I said, I know. I got them for $20 and the terminal box cover for $5!
