But like anything else.... there is always one

The irony in this is, when you compare the demographics of Model-A people to Model-T people, the T people that I see on tours seems to be the same age, -or even a tad older than the Model-A people, ...and I just don't remember the last time that I saw a Model-T on a tour equipped with Air Conditioning.
FWIW, the two hottest antique car tours that I have been on was the MTFCI Meet in Rochester, MN, ...and the joint meet held in Dallas. If I recall correctly, the heat index for the Rochester meet was like 112°. I don't know about Dallas but it was hot as 'Hades' there too. The difference that I remember is on the Rochester tour, a bunch of old people drove approximately 100 miles each day without A/C.
