Default A Road Warrior

Many of us fancy ourselves to be Model A “road warriors”. But this guy is the real deal! Meet Anthony. Anthony is a high school senior who for the past 3 years, has driven his Model A as his daily transportation, PERIOD! I have seen him on the road around our township in torrential downpours, snow squalls, and, believe it or not, below zero temps. He has a hot water heater in the car and a radio. I saw him today at Snyder's replacing a sealed-beam headlight. Maybe our hobby DOES have a future after all.

Hats off to Anthony!

I love that high wheel bike, I remember when I was about 12, I got up one morning and there was one of those bikes leaning against our big fire place in the living room, my father had won it in a poker game the night before, I wanted ride it but it was winter and snow, it wasn't there long, I think the old man lost it in another poke game.
