The Ford Barn

First, I have a hard time getting in my A Sedan not only because I'm slightly over weight
but due to the fact that I'm 6'8". Once I'm in its not too bad. But, I would guess that a
Coupe, roadster, or T is going to be much worse.

So lets see how they handled the problem in the early days.
Fatman steering wheels, Tilt-a-way steering and anything that can help me
(and other non-average owners) fit in early Fords. If you have one or just have pictures
of one please post them up. I'd love to see before and after type of pictures that show
how they move.

I know some of these pitures will be non-Ford, Sorry. It can be deleted if too far OT.

Thanks Jeff

I completly understand that this is a period accessory and not Henry origainal.
I think period accessories are perfectly acceptible for discussion and documentation.

I'm just a fat, tall guy trying to learn.

Ryan, and Mods please delete if you wish. Otherwise I'll continue my search.

Thanks,
Jeff

Yeah, those things fetch a good price! Can't touch one for under $300 from what I've seen, and then they need restored. The search goes on...
