Judgement Day - Reno

Tuesday 26th June - 2018

I am totally gob smacked with this 1931 Model A Ford Town Car Delivery as is every body else here at the National Model A Ford Rally. Earlier this morning I went along to witness the Judging of some of the vehicles.


It's hard to believe this car is 87-years old and only has 2 -miles on the Speedo.

You may ask why this vehicle can demand such a price on the open market WELL!!!  Here is only one reason why, & it is hard to believe what I am about to tell you. The Speedo has only 000,002 miles on the clock. That's right - just 2-miles.


I know that the Good Year tyres would not be the originals [below photo], however these tyres are exactly (the same replicas) of the original tyres, if you look closely at the top of the tyre, you will notice the rubber tits still protruding from the tread. 



Even the tyres are showing no signs of wear or use.

Not only that you will also notice the small yellow & blue flag that is on the exterior wall of the Good Year tyre, unless the tyres have that flag emblem, one would not consider owning this vehicle.


Vehicles coming under the close scrutiny of the event judges

 
The judges take things very seriously indeed

In the two photos [above] you can see the judges inspecting a couple of the other entrants, and believe me, they take it very seriously indeed. I would say that these vehicles would be in better condition than when they rolled off Henry Ford’s production line in Detroit, Michigan some 87-years ago.
