This 1954 article from the Popular Science Archives recognizes the Model A Ford as the unique vehicle that it is. Go to page 172.

From March 1949 Popular Mechanics, one can buy a rebuilt Model A engine for $107 outright or $87 exchange plus $5.00 crating charge.

Oh, and look at the price of (used) tires, in the ad just above.

Great entertainment just to look through the articles and ads! Thanks for posting it!

Thanks for posting!
Glancing through the article online, it seemed vaguely familiar - so I searched my harddrive a bit and discovered that I apparently bought a copy off of ebay almost exactly 5 years ago...now I've just gotta figure out where I put the thing...

Read the article and found it to be very interesting. I never would have imagined that someone in 1954 could wax so poetic about a then twenty something year old car. 90's cars are now twenty something years old and frankly, I have no nostalgia for them at all.

I wonder if my Dad read that. He bought ours in 1955. I still have it.
