And, I guess the sticker thing is moot, because when he attended my tour, -and on several others I have been on with him, he has upgraded to the pick-up you see in this picture. I think the Touring was last used when him & George made their loop out to Kanab and back.

For once I agree with Brent 100%

Model Ts are great cars...with a strong 27hp engine (SCAT crank, Stipe 280, High comp head, Five ball or NH straight carb, Firestone Polonium plugs, etc.) and a high speed rear you can keep up with a stock Model A. Model T has less hp but is a much lighter car.
I've done 300 miles in a day in a T myself...too much fun.
