Re: Why do you own a Model A?
When I was pre-7 (now almost 74) family used to sit on the front porch. There was a fellow named Lawton that used to come by in a 30 roadster. You could hear the distinctive sound from a long way away; he would come hauling by!
Dad said he was going home from a beer joint several miles up the road. Obviously not of sound faculties and, again, hauling.
We moved to another town. When I was about 18 Dad heard Lawton passed. I found out particulars and found the car……disassembled in his shop! I did buy it and he had started restoration/repairs/demolition! It was sorta a disaster of body repairs. I tinkered for awhile and didn’t have skills nor facilities. And college was calling. Sold that one but found a 31 running roadster. Except for a very few years post-marriage I’ve had one of some sort.
My favs are the slant windshield cars.
