That is a nice looking Model A. I like the color combination.

Some times I wish I still had it but it is not a truck which I favor more. Photo is fading away.

This is the Model A my father and I restored. We owned the car for 40 years.

That is a nice one. Did you drive it often, what kind of fuel mileage did it get?

It usually got about 20 MPG.

The club I belonged to had an annual fuel economy run. That run was usually won by a lightweight car, like a roadster. I won one year. That year the course was near my house, on roads I drove every day. As I crested a hill I put her in neutral and shut off the engine. I knew I had a four mile downhill section. I think that won it for me.

Everything Bill said. Prices are soft and he's asking a price for a car that's right and that one is a long ways from right. From the looks of it, I would almost bet the body work was amateur. I've seen so many like that after unknolegable people got stuck with them and the engines, brakes suspension and everything else was slopped together with worn out parts and had to be redone. It reeks of one of those type of cars.
