I admit I have never been interested in cars until the model A and I only study the yrs 28-31 so I wouldn't know a 32 if it hit me. But I am loving the details on the model A's. Bill G

There is so many great pictures and stories here! It's a look into the past. Love it! : )

Woah! Somehow I missed this thread that Ryan the administrator started with the picture I posted of my dad and his roadster. Glad Gr0met just posted and brought it to the top so I caught it. My dad doesn't do the internet so I'm going to print it up and give it to him. He still carries that first picture of him and his car in his wallet and shows it to everyone he meets. All of your favorable comments will just thrill him to pieces. (He's 86 now.)

Thanks all!

Here he is 70 years later sitting in "Old Henry" (that he bought for $100 in 1959) just as we started restoring it in 2006. As much as he loves that car he still talks of the days of his roadster and dreams of finding it again someday.
