Nice site Michael
Here are the Model A photos
The Model A Ford in the Depression.
Here are a series of photos showing how these Fords were put through hell & back but kept on going. Maybe one of these cars is in someone's garage today?

I wonder why that very early '28 Cab in pic 6 doesn't have landau irons?You wana look waaay far up da road and plan yer route because the brakes are far more of a suggestion than a command!

Yes sir I bet it is..reckon somebody could afford to put a new top on his car..given it should have lasted five years or so that would put it at the depth of the depression,laying out the coin for a new top.There's a sticker on the windshield as well..

I think that is a 28 business coupe, though it has a step plate for a rumble seat. But the RS was available as an accessory.

The guy pushing down to hand crank it instead of pulling up at 7:00,,, has a very special rare horn mounted... looks like a siren
(Maybe he is just positioning the crank handle)3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

NO, I wasn't around during the depression, but scenes like these were common, during the War, when Chief ran a Conoco Fillin' Station. To show their appreciation of help, some would give Chief EXTRA Gas Stamps, to help someone stuck on the highway, with NO STAMPS!
If I sounded TESTY, I meant to, if you don't like my remarks, DON'T read them!
I once lived in a house, with a DIRT Kitchen Floor, but Chief was a hard worker & we NEVER went HUNGRY!

My barn car at it's original homestead. The man beside my car is the original owners youngest son.
He remembers bringing live calves home from the farmers market in the "back seat!".
This old car has the snow chain dents in the rear fenders, as well as all the signs of use, over the years, as bags of grain were sat on the front fenders to go to the mill in the local village.
