The hard part was getting the grand piano in the rumble seat.

Nice video.
But why ? What's the fun of riding in the snow with a model A?
(My tought : if I want to have fun in the snow I take a rally car and take the corners side ways)

Art Newland · 12-24-2016, 12:54 AM

Thanks for the kind words, it's the Model A that makes the video special, other-wise it's just "driving around". Our weather here for the most-part is pretty mild. There hasn't been any snow at all for the last couple of years. We had snow earlier but it was in the mid-20s with lots of ice, this snow was slushy and wet. I was hoping to get to drive my coupe in the snow, just to see what it was like. Over-all it seems pretty capable of handling the slippery stuff.

It was about a 30 minute drive, you only saw 4 minutes of it...

I don't have a rally car.

Videos like this are like sharing a collage of thousands of vintage Model A photos that have come alive.

This post appears to represent a most exciting display of a happy, living Model A and a happy, living Model A owner who are giving youthful life to one another.

Just magnificent !

Good point ! Anyway : a cool video.

RUNNERBUN · 12-24-2016, 01:47 AM

Well done, enjoyed the video very much. Congratulations for being brave enough to take it out in the snow. It's never going to happen around here, living in the tropics snow is very hard to find. Never seen it in my life.
Enjoy your Christmas and have a safe New Year.

Great video! Now I want to take the A out for a ride, but with all the SALT & GRAVEL on the road, I will leave her covered up until spring. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good A night!
