There is a model A collection being auctioned on April 9th, in NJ. If you have Facebook, the link is: Antique car auction Mike Torowus; Location: Wamsley’s Texaco Garage 52 Harding Hwy (Rt 40); Upper Pittsgrove, NJ 08318.

There are great photographs of some real nice model A's. Just looking at the photographs are worth your time.
 
Tease...Some of us are addicted to Model A's, or fast approaching that category.
Mama says I can buy another. and wish I could, but my shop is already full of classic cars...wait...maybe if I build another, bigger shop.
April is four months away...so
 
Looks like it will be a good auction the person who owned all off this had a great eye and bought and saved a lot of tin from the crunchers and the hot rodding segment of the hobby. But I bet more than half turns in to hot rods in the end. What a shame

Mike used to sell every year at the Salam County Fairgrounds. He was in the first building to the right. First vender on the left of the building entrance side. He had a mix of A and V8 parts.

I had been meaning to give him a call cause I needed some parts he probably had laying around. Sorry to hear he passed on.
 
I posted a link to this auction on one of my Jeep FB pages-that WW2 GPW with the capstan winch has generated a lot of interest.

Now realize I met him this past year at the fairgrounds. He had a sign of a delivery for sale.................
old man time creeps up on all of us.
