I love the looks and the simplicity. I went from one Model A to two, two V8's and a Model T. My wife loves them, too, so it's a family hobby. My daughter disapproves, but my son is a car nut like his dad.
Wow nice collection of antique Fords!!!!

They are just a neat looking little car, fun to drive and monkey around with AND as 'small' as they are they really don't take up much room. For days when you feel the need for speed, it's fun to have an early Mustang in the shop too!

They are a less expensive way to get into the old car hobby than a lot of old cars, and are really pretty dependable restored to FACTORY specs with good parts.
