Another way to find a Model A

[roadster31]

Some times I think we get a little bit of help; I never used to believe in that sort of thing. My wife was in the first stage of "early onset" Alzheimer's disease, we were heading home with our 30 standard Roadster, spring in Minnesota, cold. She asked if we could PLEASE get something with some windows and a heater in it -- like that! She spotted a beautiful 36 coupe going the other way. I promised that I would try to find one, now. We got home and I happen to mention the fact that I had to come up with a 1935 or 1936 Ford Coupe while talking to an old friend and his brother. His brother said I have a 36 Coupe, and it's for sale! I have to finance the restoration of my 32. I looked at it and bought it on the spot. It was perfect! A complete restoration with flawless paint, it had many period speed parts; nothing sounds like a flathead with an Isky 3/4 cam. Betty loved that car, we went to many car shows, just local stuff it drew much attention. I had to sell the car when she went into a nursing home, Betty passed away on April 5, 2011. The over educated would call it "Serendipity; A series of pleasent coincidences" but I think we had help finging that car.
