This is a story of success, failure, then success, again.

Relegated to a barn for 45-plus years, this barn find 1930 Ford Model A finally saw the light of day. Even more, this old girl is put back into daily use as a commuter to work. The goal was simple - prove once and for all that you can drive a 90 year old car to work as your daily commuter.

I do wish it were that simple. The years of neglect were not washed away by Patina Sauce as the ghosts of farmer's past did rear their ugly head. The poor Coupe didn't make it past the first two days in 100 degree weather in Texas heat and fried the headgasket, but did get me home.

Ultimately, it took a new high compression head and head gasket from Speedway Motors and a little elbow grease from me, my dad and my son to get the Model A back on the street. So the little A is enjoying its life again.
