365 DAYS IN A MODEL A FORD

This young fellow has taken it upon himself to drive his 1930 Model A Ford as his only means of tranportation for 1 year. He started this last Oct. spending the Michigan winter in this 81 year old vehicle. He finds some great insights into human behavior, as well as our society and it's attitudes in general along the way. So if you have the time start at the beginning and follow along with him with his daily postings as he travels the roads of  Middle America. For the older members, it may bring back memories of  the way it was. For the younger ones, a different point of view from the way we travel nowadays. It is well worth the read.

Thanks,
 Norm Hampton

 Can anyone identify the owners of these cars?


This car is Glen Turner's Dodge. (1916 or 1917?)
