    Model A in the mountains

    About 10 years ago several of us shipped our A's to Europe and drove over the Swiss Alps. Sometimes we would be in 1st gear going up for 25 - 30 minutes and did fine. We always came down in the same gear we used going up. I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this trip.

    I bought my first A in 1943, at age 15. Now I'm 83. Have toured Europe twice in Model A. Still drive every chance I get.

    I prefer touring over car shows

    Model A's are the real old cars. The 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, and even the 70's cars are just USED CARS.

    Odd transmission feature

    Yep! It is true. I learned that trick in 1943 shortly afert I bought my first Model A. Wow, that was a long time ago.

    Miles per day touring

    I was with Logan on today's trip. I got home in just 275 miles today. Also, please note that I am almost 5 times as old as Logan is. Some of us old dudes can still travel. My longest 7 day trip was about 1550 miles.
