1904 Model A Ford

[Smokedtires]

While at the Old Car Festival in Greenfield Village, I had the opportunity to witness some "original" Model A's. Thought it was pretty neat.

There were some nice early models there. I have some pics, too. I will try to load them at some point.

Yes, we were all parked in that location which is generally reserved for the Lansing to Dearborn Reliability Tour participants. John & Dorothy Grace had their Model-A along with a 1 cylinder Cadillac close by which is always neat to see the similarities. Also, Jeff Kelley brought the Kelley Family's (-which is the late Tim Kelley who used to be a Fordbarner here) 6 cylinder Model K and the '04 Model-A. Several other alphabet cars always parked in that area.

The Cadillac cars were built at the plant where Ford originally was to build his first production cars but the investors took another tack and hired Henry Leland to decide what to do with the new plant that was being built. Cadillac was born there instead. Ford went on to Mack road with investors that would stick with it.

I did not find any parts for that Model A at Snyders.

I guess when the build 5 million 25 years later the prices don't hold up in the collector market.

There is a guy in our local chapter that has one, and his is beautiful. His has the white tires.

Wow, who knew the "Modern" Model A'ers would know so much! The Ford Barn never cease to amaze me. Glad to share and learn with you folks.

Wow! Note the right hand drive. Happy Motoring.
