Very cool Seth, how did you get it accomplished?

Congratulations !
Your 1929 Model A Ford Phaeton was cited in Long Island's NEWSDAY as being the LAST car over the T-Z Bridge !

Sorry, without video it didn't happen. WHERE'S THE VIDEO???????

 

[bknarrow]

Good to see you did it and made it into the paper. No one else will have that story to tell.
Congrats

LOL! It made the news here. "I wonder what his FordBarn nick is."

Even my local paper had a story about the 29 Phaeton as being the last car over the old bridge.

Way to go Seth ! ! What's next??

Here is a link to the thruway authority's posting.... complete with that video. I am waiting to get access to some higher quality images.

That is so great...congratulations.
You and your car are now a part of recorded history.
One question...why was there not a mile long procession of Model A's and T's, and you still could have been the last to cross.
Opps...NYC, I forgot.

History
Opened December 15, 1955
Closed October 6, 2017

In that 62 years, how many cars passed over that bridge?
For one of the few rare times...being last makes you a winner.
Anyone know who the first was to cross the bridge? Of course not, but they'll damn sure remember the last.

 

[Crankster]

Yeah, I knew that, just not at the time of the news broadcast. I figured it had to be one of the usual suspects or hoodlums that populate these parts. My suspicions proved correct! Again congrats.

Mazel tov!!! Seth, you were persistent and it paid off big time. Over the years, I really liked the old Tappan Zee bridge, but I'm sure I'll learn to love the new one. I loved seeing the video with you and your beautiful '29 traversing the old bridge.
Nice job.
