What's the chances of going out for breakfast in a 1930 Model A pickup and having a 1928 Model A pickup pull in right next to you? In Stephentown NY this morning.

Birds of a feather...

Mike V. Florida · 10-20-2013, 10:56 PM

Sweet!

BILL WILLIAMSON · 10-20-2013, 11:27 PM

When I see an unknown Model A, I'll chase him 1/2 way across town to wave & honk! Bill W.

Great photos-looks like great Model A country too. And you know, Model A's are attracted to diners, or so it seems!

Is that anything like the mystical force that attracts tornados to trailer parks?

Never knew the guy or seen the truck before ????. They say you can drive less then a mile and find some sort of a Model "A" Ford part.[ or auto]

Any info on the 28'.
Unrestored original?
From where?

sconnors · 10-21-2013, 08:49 PM

It was an unrestored original. The guy has had it since he's been in high school!! He's a bit older than me and I'm 53 so he's had it for awhile. It was awesome looking.

I am not to far away from you in Spencertown. It would be nice to have you stop over and talk shop in my shop. I have a 31 2-door and other A stuff. Jack

About 10 years ago my wife and I were out in our (at the time) 1915 T Runabout - a very original car it was un-restored and "dusty" with age. We stopped for lunch at a tiny corner store with a lunch counter in the back-woods of Maine and parked right next to? You guessed it - a very well restored 1915 T Runabout. So on the way in I see a guy wearing a bowler hat and tell him not to hop in the wrong car on the way out which is greeted with laughs by both him & his wife. About 15 minutes later he comes running back into the store after finally getting my joke - he could not believe it either. Neither of us knew there was another identical car in the area.

Hi Guy's,
This was way back in the 70's,,My fuel line plugged up & I was stuck by the side of the road..I had cleaned the car out & left my tool's home (Dumb Move)

This was way before cell phone's, had to walk to a pay phone & call my Pop's for help...Walked back to the car & a few minutes latter out of nowhere come's a Model A..Turned out to be a guy I knew from the club... He had some tool's, Blew out the line & I waited for my dad Then was good to go

Talk about a one in a million !!!

SeaSlugs, nothing mystical about it. God just hates trailer parks that's all
