I was somewhat surprised to see I have been a member here on this site for 8 years and only have 3 posts. In looking at those posts it brought back some old memories. I have posted some pictures in those 8 years of a few of my cars, sadly all of those are gone and have been replaced. Some of them I should have kept too. That old Model A coupe had been with me a lot of years, lot of stories from that old car. Why in the world I ever let it get away I will never know. Also I only have fond memories of my 46 Ford Coupe, another one I should have kept.
Today I find myself on the threshold of doing another deal. You see I have this pretty cool little green 1929 Model A tudor that I have had for a couple of years. In those years it has just sat and I have not driven that little car hardly at all. That is a little strange as I usually drive the hell out of my cars. It is a cool little car, great running 351 W and a Tremec 5 speed. Today is one of the few times I am even getting it out of the shop as I load it up to take it to a far away place to get it a different home. I hope they treat it better than I have.
In the trade for this car I am getting a dream car for me, a 1934 3 window coupe, its Big Block Chevy powered and it is another failed project that got put on the back burner by the prior owner. The country is just full of cars just like it, they all seem to start with great expectations and dreams of what "CAN" be and then at some point in time the realization that "CAN" be and "IS" are to completely different things.
I am going to post a picture of that little Green Model A just so that there will be one somewhere and maybe ever once in a while I can take a look and re-read this post and hope I don't say: "Man I should have kept that car"
