I was 14, my first vehicle was a 1931 AA 280A

If I only knew then what I know now. Then it was just a 24 year old truck that my Dad had owned several years before. It had changed hands twice between the time Dad sold it till I tracked it down and bought it. (for $45)

I'm not sure it counts but I was given a 30-31 pickup cab and bed at like at 10 or 11. By 13 I had sold it to fund a VW project. This lead to an adiction to German cars for a while but at 39 I got my next Model A, my Deluxe Coupe.

When I was 39, I traded my 27 T for a model A (29 Town Sedan...very nice original unrestored, but well maintained). I had various Model T Fords since I was 19. After driving the Model A, I never wanted another T. Now I have 9 Model A Fords.

In 1957 I traded a running '27 T coupe for a non-running '29 A coupe. Turned out there was nothing wrong w/the A, just needed gas and a battery.

In 1958 when I was 14 I purchased a 1930 Sport Coupe for $75, engine and trans disassembled and not in car. Had it running before I got my drivers license.

1966 was 14 when I pulled my roadster out of a field where my father had left it after he used it for 16 years.

1964, I was 14. 1929 Tudor Sedan. I saved it from being hot rodded. The guy was getting ready to put a Chevy engine it.
I still have the car, it was my mother that told me to never sell it........

I was 24, drove it off the showroom floor in 1931.

It was 1963, I was 14 years old and it was a 4 door sedan that I installed a 1930 coupe body on it. I kept the car until I was 20 then sold it.

That puts you right about 109 years old by now doesn't it?

February 1966, 1930 coupe, $200. My first car, age 16.

12 yrs old , 65 yrs ago, a neighbor gave me a coupe from out in her field --pretty rough w/ no top, etc . Got it running & enjoyed ripping around our rural dirt roads while beginning my motor head ventures .

And if you look at his picture in his avatar - he's selling papers in 1931 - sure was a mighty small 24 year old.

In 1950, I was 15 and bought it for $60.

Just looking thru this thread, it's amazing how many of us owned a Model A before we could drive it "legally".
