Been down that ménage a trois road before and at the size of my wallet now, one will do.

2004 in a barn in West Virginia. Sat in my garage for 6 years before I even tried starting it. It was found for me by my 88 yr old Uncle. He kept asking me how I was doing and it was always the same answer. Finally I took a couple of days and free'd up the engine, got it started, and it runs like a champ. I am so attached to that car it is going to Florida with me as soon as possible. Oh BTW it is a 1929 std roadster. I have nicknamed it "Survior"

I also have a 1930 coupe, built it the mid 1970's sold it in 1988 and was able to buy it back in 2012 Sorry it is a street rod but me and my dad built it together and had to have it back!!!!!!

BTW the reason it took so long to build the huckster from the pile of "junk" was that we had to raise 11 kids and run a business for 20 years.

[barnstuf]

[dumb person]

Far too long, but it's my millstone now no1 else wants it.

[DougVieyra]

I bought my first Ford Model A ( a Nov. 1927 TuDoor Sedan ) in 1964. Sold it a year later and bought my present car in 1965, a December 1928 Phaeton. So I guess that is about 50 years ago. Ouch ! My other Model A ( late '31 Dlx Coupe) I bought about three years ago, to replace my '30 Standard Coupe, which I drove for about 35 years.

[31 Model A]

Saturday, July 4, 2015, I'm having a BBQ for all here. I don't care who brings the BBQ, potato salad, baked beans, beer, soda; etc etc, just make sure you arrive in your A/AAs.

RSVP not needed.....just show up.

[racingrufus]

I have had my 1929 special coupe for almost 3 years but I had my first 1930 standard coupe from 1963 to 1969.

[Pete]

66 years. (spring of 1948)

Then and now.

[dlfrisch]

Had my first "A" in 1959. Had it for a couple of years, was going to fix it up and have some fun with it. It was 1929 pick-up. Ran good, needed paint and some things had to be updated. My wife and I moved and back then, in the early marriage years there were to may "honey-dos" to do and tight on $ 's........I sold it for $150.00.

In the last couple of years and after almost sixty years, I have owned a couple of Model A's. I now have a neat '30 coupe as seen here, in my Avatar.

[TCap]

Bought the Deluxe Delivery in 2005, just a body at the time. Gathered alot of parts in 2006. Project at a basic hault since do to cancer, job loss and other major challanges. Trying to see what I can get done in the next year. Finally found some of the patterns for the wood, which I will make this winter or as far as how ever many patterns I find or can afford the prints for. Next big challange will be repair of the back panel. Rod

[crock]

28 sport coupe, bought in 1999 and on the road 2014

[Brobrian]

My dad bought and gifted me with my 28 Special coupe, in '88, so 26 years for that one. At the same time he bought my brother a 31 pickup. I now have both cars, having purchased the pickup from my brother two years ago. One day, hopefully not too soon, I'll have our my dad's 28 PU, which he got for painting a house in 1959 or so.
This thread has made me think about how long I've owned (and been driving) my coupe, yet how much work still needs to be done on it, and how much I still don't know. Hmm.

[Tom maxwell]

30 coupe since 1978

[Gold Digger]

1962 or 63 brother and brother inlaw found my 1930 2 door sedan in a farm yard with a rod out the side of the block they gave the farmer 25 bucks for it.
They found a motor powering a cement mixer at another farm , the farmer told them they could have the motor but they had to take the mixer with it.
Spent a few summers when I was in high school on their farm and learned to drive with that A
They gave it to my Dad and he has had it till 2 years ago when he gave it to me the car has been in the family so's to speak around 52 years.
