Home Depot and the grocery store probably wouldn't appreciate your driving one on their parking lot - those tracks might be hard on the asphalt! :D Interesting that this one is pulling the old-fashioned limber with ammunition chest in addition to the gun. I’d think they would have the ammo...

Ford used laminated safety glass windshields in the Model A throughout production. (I think that use actually began in the Model T era. Supposedly the catalyst was Henry and/or friends being injured when plate glass shattered.) A couple high-end Model A also had it standard in the passenger...

Before you sink any more time, effort or money in your truck, get a title in your name! I dunno what that entails in MO - consult your local DMV. And 30 are different from 31 - dunno about 28-29

Interesting. I always thought that referred to a hearse - I stand corrected. The etymology of such terms also is interesting, the following is from Perplexity AI. The origin of the name is believed to be linked to a black woman named Maria Lee, who operated a lodging house for sailors in...

Another popular conversion was cutting the rear door section out of a Fordor, attaching the rear quarter to the cowl/front door section and adding a pickup box. I've also seen it done with a Tudor by shortening the rear section.

If you don't want to build your own...

I had a buddy in high school who was into Model T. We had a friendly rivalry about whether it was better than a Model A. One time he said the A gas tank could blow up in my face. I replied, "Yeah, well the T tank could explode and blow off your butt!" :D

Decades ago, my sister-in-law with her husband and five kids visited us. The wives took the two older ones shopping and left the men to babysit the rest. We loaded them in the rumble seat (they were small enough for all three to fit) and went to the Dairy Queen. On the way back, we stopped at...

Or Luckys. Anybody remember L.S.M.F.T.? :D

Well, he had the last laugh - Packard is no more but Ford and Lincoln still are. :D
