Re: Model A's in the snow
I'm as fascinated by the snow as the cars! I see Model As on the road here but never snow. Keep 'em coming.

I take it Melbourne is too far North for snow..... even in July. This is my first year with a Model A. I am kind of anxious to try it out on the snow when it comes. We have had a slight dusting this year, but no real thing. It will come, however. |

Re: Model A's in the snow
Melbourne is south.
It does usually snow at the top of low mountains about 40 km east of Melbourne during winter. Although nothing as spectacular as driving on the coast road from LA to Frisco and driving thru snow and seeing the beach below. |

Re: Model A's in the snow
The yearbook editor had me and some friends pose this shot in front of the school.

We bought a new Ford and a new Chevy pickup trucks for the local Phone Co. about 5 years ago. Within 4 years the Chevy was popping out, rusting in the lower cab corners. Heck even the wheel wells were just plain paint no undercoating. How cheap. Driving on gravel roads ya wanna guess how long that paint stayed on? The Ford is fine no problems at all. The Chevy frame is also giving out, totally rusted and the local body shop guy (die hard GM) said that is a major problem with GM and Toyota trucks, said they have cheap cheap frames. He bought a Ford for a flat bed tow truck he said the Chevy is too 'weak' and won't tow the mark that they make for a bad truck to haul cars on. |

Re: Model A's in the snow
That's a great picture. My Model A stays in the garage until Spring. The only exception is if there's a relatively mild Winter day. In that case I'll bring it out for a short drive.

I used my 1928 Woody Huckster in the snow for a Christmas Card a few years back. Christmas time makes one sentimental and I wish I had never sold it. Merry Christmas to the new owner and I hope they enjoy it..... Owning 3 other A's helps the pain some what. |

Clark Station in Snow.pdf Sometimes there is too much snow for any Model A around here. Dug out an old photo of the Gulf gas station that my Grandfather and Father built in Boone County, Northern Illinois just before WWII. They had a snow storm that had snow drifts all the way up to the telephone wires and all the local roads were totally blocked until this Rotary Snowthrower arrived from Elgin, IL to plow out the roads. |

Re: Model A's in the snow
"Over the bridge and through the woods to granny's house we go." Attached are some snow pictures of my 28 phaeton taken on Thanksgiving morning several years ago. Nobody wanted to go out with me for a ride that morning. As a matter of fact these pictures were taken about 5 miles from house and my tire marks were the only ones on the road in this area.
