The Model A Ford was produced from 1928-31. I remember when they were commonplace. Today, they're seen only at antique car shows, but are among some of the most beautifully restored cars around. There were many fine examples of Model A's at this year's Atkinson show. They made the trip to the show worthwhile.


                                                               1928 Model A flatbed truck


A striking Model A coupe


This 1931 Model A convertible shows up at many car shows                              
 and I can't resist photographing it every time                                             


Another tastefully restored Model A coupe


    Not every owner risked putting the top down on a day when thunderstorms were predicted


Model A interior restored to original


This pretty green Model A coupe stands out                                          


Some Model A's, like this one, are customized rather than being restored to original


                                Ford didn't have a factory-installed V8 like this one until 1932


The interior is far from original, but nicely done


The Model T preceded the Model A — it had a long run from 1909-27                    


A Prohibition-era Model T might have looked like this, loaded up with contraband liquor


                                                                                 Good brand


Some customizers have gotten very creative with Model T's, like this 1923 edition
with a Buick 231ci V6


Model T coupe — notice how much taller it is than the Model A on the left                


1926 Dodge Brothers


                1925 Chevrolet touring car — no brake lights, no directiionals, 2-wheel brakes


Richard Petty-designed 1970 Plymouth Superbird — 500 produced


Interesting number plate collection                                                 


Notice the shape of the Northwest Territories plates


                                                                1953 Whizzer Motor Bike


  With patriotic handlebars


A 1956 Jaguar has won a few commendations                                           


Well-deserved, I must say — a very impressive automobile


              Unrestored 1927 Chrysler — it can also be seen in the video at the top of the page


1941 Hudson Commodore


These bulky post-WWII Packards were irreverently dubbed "pregnant elephants" — this is a '48
