Well I knew that title might get some attention.
It's a been a year since I became a Model A owner. I had no interest in Model A cars as I am a Studebaker lover since childhood. I have owned and worked on Studebakers since I was 18.
Old Model A cars were OK but I had no interest...until I met "Myrt"...the name the old lady who owed this car for 76 years gave the car.
I purchased Myrt in October of 2015 and used all the resources of this forum and the vendors to get her running. As of today, we, (wife loves her) have put 876 miles on the car. I love it.
I jump in it to buy a thing here and there, to run an errand, to check on work....maintenance runs if the insurance people are watching. I love this car.
My Studebaker, I have owned since 1980, rests in retirement, as it deserves, since it was the family car for many years, watches the Model A go....go...go. I love the car. The fact that I can't help but think of the men who built her, the time, the thought that she has lasted this long and runs the road like a tiger; the waves, the toots, the entire experience... I have always had something like that with the Studebakers but with Model A there is certain level of reverence that takes it to another level!!
As the Studebaker watches the new girl get taken out as she rests, I can't help but think the A has become my mistress to my true love, the Studebaker.
