What age group???

[RUNNERBUN]

OK Guys, I had nothing better to do so I crunched some numbers:
Result is, we Model A'rs on the Barn come in at an average age of 55 years.

age brackets are:
Under 25 yrs 8%
26 - 35 yrs 8%
36 - 45 yrs 10%
46 - 55 yrs 20%
56 - 60 yrs 9%
61 - 65 yrs 12%
66 - 70 yrs 14%
71 - 75 yrs 10%
Over 75 yrs 9%


55% of us are under 60 years and 45% over 60 years and that works out at over 5000 years of experience amongst us.

I am 65. Started working on Model A s with my uncle when I was about 13 or 14. He moved out of state and I let making a living get in the way. But I have been back now 10 years or so. Still manage to work on cars with my uncle across the miles when I can. Love the cars.
I am amazed at all the young guys. We don't have many 18 to 40s guys into Model As around here.

I an 70. Not gonna git old, just gonna keep having birthdays. Tillie was my first Model A. Been working on her - restoring and repairing since 1971 - I think that's 41 years. The hood was painted and installed last fall. The bed goes to the blaster today and the fenders are ready for paint. Goal is to have her finished by late spring or early summer.

48 until next August, Model A owner for 8 years.
I think its really cool that we have more than one octogenarian with us as well as a few members still in their teens. So much that can be learned from both groups.

I'm 61 and bought my first Model A a Briggs Fordor this Summer. Last Fall I bought a 30 coupe. I had been racing and restoring Harleys for 40 years until I had a heart attack and quintuple bypass 4 years ago and decided to give up riding bikes. I recently retired and needed a hobby. I'm really enjoy rebuilding and driving these cars.

I am 69. I am a retired farmer. I too was was a motorcycle rider and builder all my life. I bought an A 7 years ago and restored it as a driver with mods. We have now put 16,000 miles on it. I love driving the A and we enjoy the companionship of other A and old car people. I also have a T (for sale) and am starting to build a traditional flathead A-v8 roadster (Brookville body) Thankfully I am blessed with good health and hope I can continue.

[Paul in Colorado]

I will be 79 in April. I am thankful that my health is good. I got my 1930 Town Sedan in 2005 and my 1930 deluxified coupe in 2006, both in restored condition. They were both driveable when I got them, and I have done a lot of work on each. I drive them whenever I can, year round. My favorite is the one I am driving at the time.
