Thanks for the kind words and thoughts. As I read the comments I see the assumption is that it was my first Model A, Actually my first was another 30 Coupe with a homemade box built in the rumble or trunk area, bought in 1937, My best buddy and I split the $10 cost plus the fifty cents delivery charge (25.miles). Before becoming legal drivers my buddy and I had also split the ($10) cost of a 30 Fordor. On my own I had acquired for $4 a mint 28 Tudor with no engine (a fisherman had put the engine in his boat) and a running Model A chassis ($5) for an intended engine transplant. Only the Coupe survived my selloff for WWII service.
