I have a lot of memories about my Dads Model A roadster.I was born in 1937.Dad traded in the A in 1941 on a 34 Ford 2 door.The salesman and Dad went for a drive in the 34 with me in the back seat.When we got back to the car lot I realized the A was going to be gone.I ran back to the A got in and started to cry.Dad said it took both of them to get me out of the Model A.I can remember sitting in the rumble seat with an ice cream cone.A friend of my mothers sat in the rumble seat with me.I remember her name was Laura Wheeler.I can remember being out for a Sunday drive when it started to rain hard.By the time Dad got the side curtains on we were soaked.My Dad was out of work so my Uncle used the A to go to work.Uncle Bud used to put penny candy in the tray behind the seat on payday for me to find.I remember sitting between Mom and Dad and watching the ammeter and playing with the dash light.Some memories seem to stand out over the years.My mother broke 2 windows in the 34 slamming the door when she got mad at Dad.The 34 had plate glass in the side windows.During gas rationing Dad would put some kerosene in the 34.I remember the Ford stalling at a stop sign.Dad would have to take the spark plugs out and clean a load of black soot off them.Dad would say too much kerosene.We had a hand pump on the well.My mother would send me out with a pail to fill at the pump.I was too small to carry the full pail into the house.
