    100

    If my father were still alive, he would be 100 years old today. He got me started in model A Fords in 1960.

          Hey Bill thanks for sharing your family photos
          It's obvious your Dad did a wonderful job mentoring you in this hobby.

            100 years, that’s a lot to think about. What things must have been like in 1917 when your father was born. Pre WW1 (for us), pre influenza epidemic, pre automobiles for most. Look how simple things are for us compared to those who came before us. There are so many wonderful things that we enjoy in these modern times, but there are also things that were of great value then that no longer seem to hold much worth. Character for example. People are not as stubborn about their values as they once were. I miss this.

              I had a friend in high school, early 60's who was putting together a model a pickup. I have been in love with Model A's ever since. I finally was able to buy mine in March 2015. It's a 28 Ford Roadster.

              Memories are wonderful things, and even if we can't go back home, we can drive close, with our Model A s.

              That is why I still have the 29 tudor I bought in 1975, and that is why my brother still has the 30 town sedan that my father and I restored in 1960. My brother was only 2 when we started on that car, but he remembers it since it has been a part of him all his life.
