Smile Happy Birthday Mr.Ford

I think we have to send Mr. Ford a thought today ..! He is the cause that we've had a lot of good experiences over the years, and exciting Hobby .. So if he's sitting up there behind the clouds and look down on all the Model A which is preserved and restoreret through time., So I'm sure he would be very, very honored that people like us spend so much time and money to keeps the car as Mr. Henry and Edsel made was so successful from the beginning forward until today..

Congratulations to the 150th

Per,

Below is an original photo taken in July 1929 at the celebration of Henry Ford's 65th birthday (according to the writing on the back of the photo). The Model A cake models seem to have melted in the hot sun that day!

Happy Birthday Henry Ford



Fordially,
Brad in Maryland
