Pull up in one of these in a high school reunion and you’re instantly the coolest person there.

Beautiful design! Its what I think of when somebody says "vintage car".

[supertrinigamer]

The Model A is the pinnacle of the motto that I stick to: "A classic car is as reliable as the owner makes it", in other words, treat it well, it'll treat you well !

I remember sitting in the rumble seat as a kid, had one in the garage along with a 1923.

The Model B had a four cylinder, the Model 18 is the one with the V8.

Its a show car that gets used. So on my book thats better than a garage queen that never gets driven.
Seeing a automobile of its era is neat because is a Survivor..

This is one of the best Model A videos I've seen on YouTube. They're so much fun to drive. We love driving ours every chance we can. Unless you've driven one, you wouldn't understand. I get so anxious to drive mine when the weather is holding me back. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful A .That area looks perfect for driving a Ford A .Please don't ever sell that car.It looks so good in the condition she's in. Someone would hack that ride up and its history would be gone. After this we're headed out in our 28 Tudor...Thanks again ..BEAUTIFUL!

I have a 1930 Model A Coupe and absolutely love it. These cars are timeless and as you said in your video, always make people smile. Everybody loves to see a Model A!!

[davidmiller]

Glad to see the younger generation excited about Model A

Wonderful car!!! I want one!!! Very nice video! And I LOVE antiques in motion—I fly a 75-year-old airplane, 1946 fabric-covered 65 hp Aeronca Champ, which I handprop to start. And interestingly, I’m pretty sure Aeronca used Model A gas gauges for their Champs…or maybe it was Model T gas gauges. (For flying purposes, in truth I don’t rely on that gauge; the display moves too much as the engine vibrates and air currents bump the plane. Instead I have a wire on a float sticking thrpugh the gas cap.)

Very good Zack. I just listened to the whole podcast with Paul Shinn. That was great. Love your model A BTW.

Driving vintage cars, 30 to 90 years old, always is good for the soul. Those cars made you part of them. Like he said, "I am the ECU". That says it all. My vintage car shares the same feeling even though it's not as old. New cars take that basic feeling away. Drive an older car, you will understand.

Awesome car and awesome story behind it!

Here in California you can register a car with year-of-manufacture plates, provided they're cleared by the DMV (i.e. they're at least somewhat legible and the number isn't currently in use by newer plates) and you display the current annual registration sticker in addition to a tag/sticker that's the same year as the vehicle (assuming the plate isn't old enough to have been stamped with the year). I believe the cutoff year is 1969, which is when they switched from black to blue plates.

Your review was great, I love the story of a bunch of 23 year olds going out on the town with it. And the last comment regarding how much a part of your family the car has been thru-out the years.

Great Video! Love the car! Minor detail...the Model B was produced for 3 years and had an updated 4 cyl. in the new body style. The model 18 had the new V-8, followed shortly by the 46. Then the B was discontinued, along with the 4 cyl...

[denisdavidson]

Love your enthusiasm! I'm 75 in the UK and have just purchased a 31 Fordor, can't wait for it to arrive to start driving family and friends out in her. It was a Detroit built car and apparently started life as a Police car and still has the working siren on the firewall! Thanks for sharing your great video!

In Mississippi, you get an antique tag that is permanent. Don’t have to pay for another tag as long as you own the car.

[leveling.up.consistently]

What a fun video!! I just watched “the Titans that built America”, where Chrysler and Ford are featured. It was so much fun to see this car in todays time! I can’t get over how much you know about your car! It made me realize that I really know nothing about mine! Lol! ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 loved this!!!! Thank you for sharing this with us! 😁
