Re: Camping in a Model A
Maybe not camping as much as travelling. I have seen pics of my grandparents ca. late '20's early '30's of their travels from MD to S FLA. They would go down every autumn and stay throughout the winter. Same kinda photos. Little to non existent paved roads and the trip would take many, many days.

Re: Camping in a Model A
I regard the Phaeton as the best body style for long distance touring. That's what we use for ours. They are by far the most common body style here.

Re: Camping in a Model A
I wonder if this pic is camping for the fun of it or the necessity of it.

The Queens Christmas message has left them despairing.
The year has been "bumpy" again. |

Been there, done that.
I wonder if this photo will surface on the internet in 90 years and they ponder the same? |

Re: Camping in a Model A
Happy New Year to all.
Not camping as such, but we have slept in the back of our 28 Pickup, in our hangar at Stellenbosch airfield.

Re: Camping in a Model A
I was in college in the mid 60s and my 30 coupe was all I had. when I went camping I slept under it---several times in a light rain. I used to put the foot of my sleeping bag into a garbage bag. It kept the oil from the pan leak from ruining my bag. Some of the best memories I have ever accumulated. Still got the coupe but now use my 5th wheel.
