I try to preserve my A as well. I am constantly thinking while I use it "what can I do to make it last forever" or at least the rest of my life and then when I hand it down to my son and daughter it will be in their hands..not much I can do then. Honestly I think if you take care of it and don't abuse or misuse it or the complete car for that matter that is all you need to do. Enjoy it. It is living history. I know I am very proud to display my 1928 coupe whenever I can. The response from people young and old is heartwarming. Be happy it has made it this many years. I like to think Henry is smiling down on each one of us that loves this little car as much as he did.

Just my thought.
