Re: Model "A" Hunting: A more unusual approach.
During the fall of 1957, when I was stationed at Stewart AFB, Newburgh, NY, I used my small light airplane, a Luscombe 8A, to search the farm fields within 20 miles for a Model A Ford. Spotted one in a farmyard near Cornwall-on-the-Hudson. Returning with my then current car, I was able to buy a nice '30 Coupe for $125. Pictured is the same airplane, now owned by someone else, and the Coupe in April of 1961 (just discharged from the AF), and the Coupe as it looks now, still mine.
