38 here. Still balancing family time with the wife and 8 month old son, Working full time, and learning about bodywork for my model A (and doing the work). Hoping to be done with the car long before I reach the average.

Okay Mr Roadster, number 28 you take first prize today. And a special commendation goes to DKS, number 27

CarlG · 12-07-2018, 02:31 PM

77. When asked, I reply, Yes I bought it new.

holdover · 12-07-2018, 02:39 PM

I believe that Barnstuf # 44 holds that honor, being older than ANY Model A

I was 78 this past July and have had my 1930 Coupe since 1957

I turn the big seven - 0 in a few days. Not sure I'm pleased to be that old but on the other hand, I wouldn't have it any other way.

I am 73, and bought my first Model A in 1964.....

I'm 86 and hoping to drive my 1930 Town Sedan on a return trip for the length on NZ next year....trying to regain my feet after working underneath the car takes a fair bit of effort but, needs must.
Summer has arrived here now, 20 deg this morning,so looking forward to going for a drive today to test my new floor mat ! Petrol now $2.23 a litre !
merry Christmas to all

I'm 73 and still enjoy my 30 Phaeton and riding my Harley. Love retirement

Bob-A · 12-07-2018, 04:44 PM

I'm gon'na be 68 in a few months.

Been into antique cars, '29 Chevy being the first, since I was 15.

In between antiques it was 4-wheel drives,
muscle car and still into Harley's. Just sold my second '29 Chevy and will probably put my '31 deluxe roadster up for sale in the near future.

That will leave me with my '29 roadster to finish up repairing. And I'll probably
keep it.

I've always wanted a cabriolet or a 400-A. But, time is probably going to run out before that happens.....

I'm 59 years old.

It looks like folks in their 70's are the majority.

Robert/Texas · 12-07-2018, 04:55 PM

I'm 84. My folks brought me home from the hospital in their black '30 Tudor Model A.

I will be 72 next month.

I am currently installing a factory 4 way power seat, that will be replacing a factory 2 way power seat. Keeps me busy and I love it. It is the perfect hobby to keep you alert, sharp and flexible.

77Birdman · 12-07-2018, 05:04 PM

I will be 55 in a couple of months. Dont own an 'A' yet, but hope to someday.
