Fun

     This pile of junk was once a 16 year old boy’s pride and joy. A 1929 Model ‘A’ Ford Roadster; completely rebuilt, souped-up a little, new tires and painted red with black fenders. It would hold five fun loving teenagers comfortably, but often carried more with lap-sitters. It was ideal for joy riding; going to strip-mine ponds for a swim, matinee movies at Linton, or to the roller-skating rink at Elnora.... And best of all, for moon-light rides with Margaret Beth.
     After a battle with a large oak tree, that demolished the radiator and twisted the front end out of line, it was no longer worth repairing.... The photo taken a year or so later shows the consequence.
