WARNING: Model A Owners Look Away

[Gary/IA]

We do that with Chevys in our country, but Model A's!!!!!!

Say it ain't so.

Looks like he did a "half ***" job on it.

No no no that's not the way you chop a Model A

 

[Tacoma Bob]

Half a portion is better than non at all.

I bet this was from Wheel of Fortune. The contestant only got one of the "1/2 car" cards.

Oddly, last night a contestant got three of the "1/2 car" cards. Maybe she could get together with this guy.

I want it and even have a good wall to display it on. Sadly its too far away and I can't afford it. Story of my life I guess?

I wonder if the mechanical parts are divided similarly. Sort of like those "cut aways" done for mechanical trade teaching aids?

Maybe one of the Model A Museums would be interested?

Were it about half the price I might be interested.

And didn't Henry himself divide up a Model A in similar fashion as a sales gimmick? Yunno, showing the quality construction and padding of the seats and all?

Here is a later Ford, possibly a Model 18, done in the same fashion by Ford.

I've seen stuff like that in bars & restaurants for wall decor. It's a real shame but most likely whoever did it had no idea that they were destroying a historical artifact.

Maybe. However if the other half was already destroyed by accident, fire, or some other disaster, at least the remains remain as, oh let's say "art"?
