I am making an attempt to be the last car over the TZ Bridge (before the old span is officially closed tomorrow PM) in my 1929 Phaeton. This is the bridge that connects Rockland County and Westchester County over the Hudson river. I probably won't be that 'last car', but am hoping to time it to be at least one-of-the-last-1,000. I thought I would share this with Ford Barn.

That should be easy, A's are always breaking down! Shut the fuel valve off, maybe it would quit running mid span!

Seth, I hope you have good shocks, I remember going over it last year with a trailer of parts. Good luck and hold on to the wheel!:eek:

I'll bet that if you pull over and talk to the crew that will be putting up the barriers they like your idea and help you out.

Let us know how it works out.

This is great! We've driven our Model A over mile high mountain passes, but you are waaay braver driving yours into NYC traffic. Did that once in a modern car, not for me. Best of luck! Love your blog by the way, stumbled onto it as a new Model A owner in 2014 and learned a lot.
 
Seth, that's fantastic. That is something that you will tell your great-grandchildren about. Did you just get lucky, or were you able to arrange it with the State Troopers?
