Best Model A Gifts?
Since it is that time of the year, I was just wondering what was the best Model A related gifts you guys have received for X-mas or birthdays.
Thanks S Dunn |

Re: Best Model A Gifts?
The most recent is a steering shaft with worm gear for my sept 29 with seven tooth steering from Brattons. When X-mas or birthday nears I mark parts in Snyders and Brattons catalogs. This way the girls have a large selection to pick from. They know that I mostly want model A parts and books. For my birthday, Deb gave me Jim Brierleys new book, I highly recommend it for people that are interested in performance.

A friend who I had recently helped on his Model A just gave this Watch to me. Swiss made, cased in Canada in the late 20's.

I was 14+ when I got my first Model A. A full year before I could get a "Learner's Permit" I had to be discrete about when and where I drove it, but trust me, it got driven!

Re: Best Model A Gifts?
To be honest, I did take it a few times when Mom & Dad weren't around. But, I got busted one day, when it stalled at the bottom of the steep driveway, and I couldn't get it started! GROUNDED!
