Good time

Post by thom » Sat Sep 07, 2024 6:26 pm

A few days ago I put an ad on Facebook Marketplace for our '21 Touring. Since it was gassed up, tires inflated to proper specs, and ready to drive, we, my wife, and my three grandsons, ages 8, 14, and 16, and I took it for a ride today. Now I'm a little less motivated to sell it.

Model T's always behave better when you tell them you are going to sell them.

Thom,
I've had my first Model T for more almost 48 years. I could not image my life without one!

How many of your grandsons have driven it?

Two of my three have driven it in a large parking lot near here. The oldest was then 11, and his younger brother was 9. They are now 16 and 14, with a younger one now 8. He will drive it soon.

We, my wife and I took it for a ride this afternoon, about 10 miles round trip.
I will be sad to see it go if it sells, but my buddy has a '24 Chevrolet Touring I will buy to ease the pain.
