Women and model A's

While driving down to the Candy store today (Bert's Model A), something on the radio made me think about Women and Model A's. They compare men to about everything on earth, so It's time to compare them to our other passion.

They come in many different shapes
Most have big headlights
Some have been known to go ******* in the right circumstance
Some are classy, some more sporty
They are all high maintenance
Some have some junk in the trunk

But even though they are all different, they are all beautiful!:D
 
Dont forget the dings and dents compared to smooth body, the unrestored originals to fresh paint, ones that sound like a yard chipper to the ones that purr like a kitten... ;P
 
What Women Have in Common with Model A's:

--Both can be "accessorized"
--Both can drive a man crazy in certain circumstances
--Paint can hide some minor flaws
--Too much plastic surgery is not good for the car or the woman
--Some move faster than others
--They may look good at 50 feet, but not so good when you get closer
--Men sometimes trade them in for "newer models"
--Both will take you to very nice places
--Some of each are better suited to warmer climates
--A man can give the Model A and a woman a pet name
--Some women and some Model A's have been to places you will never know about
--You can take both of them out to lunch at the same time
--Just when you think you know all about what to expect from a woman or a Model A, they will throw you a surprise.
 
They can both get us to where we want to be.

They can both make sure we don't get to where we want to be.

:-) fun thread...
 
There's a rumble seat line in there somewhere, but I'll let someone else speculate on that. :eek:
 
This may be something you have all seen before, my mother-in-law sent it to me the other day....

New Old Love

It was in the month of July
When we first did meet by chance
She was pale, rough and worn
But I took a second glance
Though other men had had her
Her beauty they could not see
But I could see right through her
And I knew what was meant too be
I took her home and undressed her
Her beauty to revive
And after a year and a half together
We both feel more alive
I take her now to shows
And parade her around the town
And everyone stops and looks
At the most beautiful thing around
I guess by now you know it
And I really don’t need to say
I really love and cherish
My old Ford Model A
 
A teenager in the back seat of a Phaeton at a Dublin OH car show noted that Model A's get women names ... "because sometimes they are cranky."

Thanks ,Wayne and Dave. She was riddled with what looked like 30 caliber bullet holes Maybe 30.30 or 30.06 . I was able to hammer them flat, gas weld them and hammer them some more . I had wanted a 30-31 roadster sisce I was a teenager and had just about given up on ever finding one that I could afford. When she came up on eBay with a buy it now, I didn't hesitate. The price was right and nobody else wanted her. Being a bodyman and a shade tree mechanic I knew I could do something with her. She turned out to be a numbers matching car . I had another engine that I had planned to use but when I found that the engine and frame numbers matched, I had to go ahead and overhaul the engine that she had, even though it was stuck .

Glad you were able to get that car. I am doing black wheels but may eventually also get a set to do red. Can you please tell me which paint you used to do your red wheels? They look just right to me. Thanks.
 
I am reminded of an old saying about revolving relationships :
"Old cars and old farts - Old farts and old cars. A perfect match - A perfect marriage - and blessed by heaven !"

Dave, my red wheels are a ford truck color. The best that I remember it is 1984 jalapeno red. This is a clear coat color but was mixed in a single stage acrylic enamel substitute formula. You may have to go with the base coat clear coat urethane formula because a lot of acrylic enamel substitute formulas are no longer available. Its sort of a dark red that doesn't stand out too much as in being gawdy , in my opinion . I was mostly looking for arora red but nobody had a formula and I decided to go with the jalapeno red.
