Saturday several members of the Country Roads MARC Club drove about 120 miles from NC across Roan Mountain to TN to attend the Roan Mountain Rhododendron Festival. Picture is from near the top of Roan Mountain and the TN-NC State Line. Mostly stock Model A's do just fine on steep mountain roads.

With all of the spirited debates this week about original vs modified, this story is about a guy that tried to have it both ways. :) Today a friend of mine called needing some help with a terrible running Model A that he had gotten in a car trade. He knows almost nothing about Model A's. He...

Something positive here.:) I have been reading the new S/O 2012 MAFCA Restorer magazine and came across the speech that Edsel Ford II gave at the Marquette national meet. It is a very good speech. I think it was great that Mr. Ford would take the time to attend the meet and give the speech...
