Reno, Nevada - Day 3

US Monday 25th June - 2018

This afternoon I have just witnessed a Model A Ford that is worth a staggering US$250,000.

Yes, this is a true story. The photograph of the gentleman with the Champion Spark Plugs Delivery Van, that has a hair cut identical to mine, was recently at the auction where this 1931 Model A Ford Town Car Delivery (black) was purchased by the lady driving it. [directly below].

One of only seven of its type left in the world
This ultra rare 1931 Model A Ford Town Car Delivery
recently sold at auction for $250,000.

This very rare vehicle [above] is one of only seven left of this type in the world. He started the bidding at US$100,000 & when the offers sky-rocketed up to US$250,000 he dropped out of the race.

He told me that he would gladly sell his entire fleet of Model A Fords to own this one vehicle, that is how much he wanted to own this very, very, sort after motor vehicle.

One of over five-hundred Model A Fords at this Convention

As I have mentioned previously there are over five-hundred Model A Fords in attendance here in Sparks, Reno, Nevada for this US National Rally.

With over 500 Model A Fords in attendance,there is
an incredible amount of variety, styles and body types here

The Nugget Resort Casino have given us exclusive use of the 4th & 5th floors of their huge car parking facility so that we can park all of our vehicles together in a safe environment as you can see by the very bottom photo of the car park.

This is the gentleman that was chasing the car in very top photo
he gave up when the auction bidding reached $250,000

As of tomorrow the vehicle Judging commences, it should be a great day for me to see some beautiful exhibits of Henry's Model A Fords.

At some stage of the day tomorrow I am going for a drive to Carson City with another one of my mates, he will drive his ‘31 Cabriolet & I will drive ‘Sheila’ should be a blast.

Delegate's Model A Fords fill the 4th and 5th floors of the 
Nugget Casino Resort's parking garage in Reno

That’s about all for now, because I am about to watch the ‘Donald’s’ speech from South Carolina on Fox. This is not false news reporting.

Cheers
