We were there, and this video captured Model A Days and The Gilmore Museum as well as being there. The phone company truck stops me every time. My maternal grandfather worked for Ma Bell starting in the 1920s, trucks like that were contemporary to his early work there. While my wife and I were having lunch at the Diner we overheard another couple comment as you drove by, "They get treated like royalty here, and deservedly so". And I'm delighted to see younger people involved in this hobby, a special thanks to the ambassadors who are making that possible. God Bless, have a great week ~ Chuck
Beautiful museum and event! It was great to talk with you and Tina at Iron Stone. Roadie looked awesome! I hope I didn’t take up too much of your time. Motor on, Lance👍
Thanks again for signing the plates off of my Dad's 31 !! Traci and I enjoyed speaking with you and Tina . We were very pleasantly surprized / honored to be included in this video .
My Wife and i brought our 1930 roadster with a rumble seat this year on a trailer for sale. We were surprised that more people didn't look at it. We will be heading there every year. Been going to model A days since 2019. Was nice seeing you and your wife there. Hopefully you keep coming back .
People requesting your autograph Model A Guy shows that You and Model T are loved by the Model A Community. The best part was seeing you drive the Speedster around the track as if you were a kid in a candy store.
I still don't understand why anyone would want my autograph, I'm not a celebrity or anything. But if someone wants it, I always do it. Makes someone happy, so heck yes!
My Dad would have loved seeing you sign the plates from his '31 ! Like I told you that day , I thought the plates were gone after he sold it . After his passing a few years ago ,I was helping my mom go through some stuff and she handed me the envelope ....I was stunned beyond belief . You and Tina being so gracious to to sign them made the trip well so special to us ! By the way , if you are wondering what kind of guy my Dad was , just look to Bob , they are so similar ,my Dad even had the same dang coveralls !! Thanks again !! Tim
It was good seeing both you and Tina back out in Michigan! Great footage of the students! Their excitement when that thing fired up was pretty special.
Hey Paul &Tina Another great time spent with you two! I been to The Gilmore twice and plan to be back hopefully next year. I feel it is almost a magical place. Thanks so much for sharing this years “Model A days” with us. Do remember what I proposed about Gilmore? The offer still stands! See you down a country Road! Steven & Leah
I am in love with the Gilmore, have to go back really soon. The young kids working on the model A with some authority is a wonderful sight - more impressive than the telephone truck to me. I think Edison loved his model T and had to be talked into taking the Model A. You probably know the story better than I. These cars (model A fords) don't show their remarkable beauty and proportions on Camera, they have to be seen. The materials and craftsmanship are excellent and no plastic ! Cheers from Taos -
Hey Paul! You looked like a kid in a candy store when you were racing that Model A. That looked like a lot of fun. Even with the bugs in your mouth and all. I remember you at that Museum last time as well. Looks like it is going to grow as well. That is great. Looks like something for everyone in the family at this place. I love how they started the car that the high school brought in. I am sure those kids will never forget it. Also the First Start is a great idea. Starting a car after years of not running is no easy feat. I am sure. Well have yourself a wonderful weekend my friend and make it a good one. God bless!
Wow, I enjoyed this video a lot. You two have so much fun, I can see why you do, getting the opportunity to go to these events. I guess those are the opportunities one makes for themselves. Great to see you both enjoying what you're doing. I hope you have more fun this weekend. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day!
I've wondered how many #1s there are. The "official" Ford photos show the first car coming down the line as a Tudor. The "official" Ford photo of the #1 that Henry stamped is well centered. The #1 on the Edison car is in a different spot on the pad and the pad does not show a casting flaw that is in the one Henry stamped. The story of swapping bodies for Edison doesn't make sense when it would be cheaper and easier just to stamp *A1* on an engine and install it in the body style Edison wanted.
Hey Paul, what a beautiful time at the museum. I'm really interested in the shay model A replica. It looks like the engine is a Pinto 2.0 ltr. I drove a 1970 pinto when they first came out. Paid less than $2K for it. Full price at the curb. I would shift it when it would go any faster. Ran the "H" out of it. Traded it in a Pinto wagon in 1973 for more room. Biggest mistake I made was getting with an automatic tranny. Would not get out of it's own way. They just hadn't gotten the EPA values right yet. Timing was WAY down, should've been more advanced, fuel was not right and it just ran bad. I was constantly adjusting things.Never really got it just right.
Interesting how it is the same DNA as a Model T that started it all; an inline 4, and all the way to the more modern inline 4 Ecoboosts we have nowadays. I had a 2015 Ford Fusion that I adored (talk about a beautiful car design) with a 2.0 Ecoboost which I substituted for a Lincoln MKC with a 2.3 inline 4 Ecoboost. Fun to see the modern FoMoCo motors going full circle to the earliest days.
Great to see you at the event. Please ask Derek Bieri to come participate in the First Start challenge next year as an advisor with Larry. It would get LOTS of attention for the Museum, event, and Model A hobby.
This was so much fun! Loved the kids’ shop class and their start up. They should be feeling pretty good about themselves and it looks like they’re doing a good job with that car. Would be great to see it completed. Also about the Speedster would be interesting to find out what type of mods they do to it to make it go faster.
I did a deep dive on my ancestor and he was pretty close with working with Henry ford and his son edsel in the late 20s 30s and 40s was the first in the laboratory at Dearborn Michigan to own and drive the 1928 ford model A which was a 27 but still really cool. They have his book at the ford museum in Dearborn "40 years for fird motor co."
I'd love to build a Speedster! I promise NOT to strip an original car to make it. I think that a car that came out as a roadster, should remain a roadster. There are lots of incomplete A's out there or parts that can put a pile of pieces back on the road. I'm not into eating bugs, so there will be a windshield on mine! They're a hoot for sure! This trip to the Gilmore is a treat for those that can't make it this year. One thing for sure, I know my first trip to "The Gilmore" will be well worthwhile! Safe travels.😊
Hey, Paul! You can have the turbine car only if I don't get it first! Vroom! Oh, I'll need my rich uncle to pay for the fuel; that car is thirsty! Jelly beans on wheels. I also call 'em George Jetson cars; Blobs on wheels; personal transportation pods; generic cars and so on. Thanks for the cool video!
Where does the line form? I saw a demo of the Turbine at our local shopping center when I was a kid. When Harrah's downsized a friend brought their display Turbine to the guy that bought it in SoCal. He was going to install it in a 1966 Dodge Charger which Chrysler had designed to be the production Turbine car.
One more thing from Chuck WA4MCE. I conduct a week long T&A Tour in Feb 2025. We expect 30 plus Cars & 60 plus warm bodies. We tour in & around Tallahassee, driving back roads. Some dirt, some gravel. We drive & eat. Then eat & drive. So much fun. Happy Trails.
If you scroll to about 2:40 into this video- ua-cam.com/video/Y0Wz27cY9HM/v-deo.html the rock is on top of the green pickup cab behind me. That's it. Not giving any more hints!! That would take the fun out of it!!
I'd like to see them offer for an additional $50-100 donation a second plaque on a piece of "Ford wood" for your desk. Ford sourced the wood for their Model A bodies from company-owned forests in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
I always wanted the cars from the 1965 movie, The Great Race. Professor Fates' car would be my first pick, the Hannibal 8, only 4 were made for the movie. Starring Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, Peter Falk, and Natalie Wood.
Jesus is our hope! It's our jobs (you and me) to share that message through our actions and sometimes by spoken word. I fail at spoken word, so do by example.
@@ModelA I do agree. Spoken word is great however if we do not back the spoken word with our lives (such as our daily conversations) then our lives can produce false results. So like you say showing by example can be even more powerful and more effective then just us talking. However I am blessed to be getting to know you
Awesome video Paul, was wondering do they always add coolant to all the cars and drain every year at the museum, I was wondering have you ever used (Evans Coolant) that you can leave in all cars for a lifetime since it doesn't damage or rust the inside of the Engine., Is this Musem open all year around, thks again
@@ModelA i used in my 1965 mustang fastback and it wasn't to expensive for a gallon if i remember correctly it was 29.00 a gallon, lol looked it up its 50.00 a gallon, Wow it has gone up, but still last a life time , Great videos keep up the great work youth is the future of this sport.
Not quite I'd argue the jelly bean styling of the majority of "daily transportation" cars is dictated by the EPA mandate for certain MPG ratings. Right down to no drip rails, gas cap covers, etc.

Chuck here WA4MCE Tallahassee Florida. Thanks so much for hiding and displaying our Model A rocks. My model A friends are impressed. 73.
Glad to do it!!! Did you spot one yet?
Beautiful museum and event!

Thanks Lance!

You and your dad's story meant a lot to us. Thank you for sharing that and then especially for letting us kinda become part of it!! Quite an honor.
❤ Not sure if you remember ,but I did send the photo of my Dad and his car to your email address . Keep the videos coming!!!!

I saw your car and thought it was reasonably priced. Sorry you didn't get any bites. The good news is, you still own a nice car.

The Wednesday night cruise-ins are the best at Gilmore. The absolute best vibes and cars of all kinds. Cold snacks and food, it’s a great time
Thanks for the tips!
Good stuff. The Ehrenhofer bus is a work of art.

You won't regret it
I just loved seeing you get to enjoy one of your most favorite of Model A’s, you looked great in it! ♥️🇺🇸
Think we could make room in the shop for it?
@@ModelA we’d have to move a lot of things 😆🤣

Sure glad to do it, Shoe!!! How about those high school kids??!!!!!! There is hope!
Thanks again for a great video, Paul. I knew when I stamped that engine #1 on that car it would pay off one day 🤣🤣

Great Video it is so great to see the teens involved !
Agreed!
This was so much dang fun to watch! Thanks for capturing it!

Hey Paul, what a beautiful time at the museum. I'm really interested in the shay model A replica. It looks like the engine is a Pinto 2.0 ltr. I drove a 1970 pinto when they first came out.

Would be great to see it completed. Also about the Speedster would be interesting to find out what type of mods they do to it to make it go faster.
I think they poured some go-juice in it!!
An excellent video Paul & Tina ❤ Favorite vehicles Chrysler Turbine, new bus, speedster. Great job filming & editing.
Glad you enjoyed it Jeremy!
man! what an amazing and kool place hope to visit it someday. love the first start footage. I sure love the Model A
Glad you enjoyed it!

I didn’t find the rock. Need a hint. Chuck
The rock at the museum is near the gas pumps. The one in my shop moves around.

Hey Paul, any more info on the bright red 'Palmer Hill' tow truck? Intergrated bed with cab. Was this the first Ranchero ?
that truck is sweet!! Drop in and see it in person. It's stunning.

1:14 why just water in the radiator and not 50/50?
Because it's a museum car that gets driven maybe once year. They drain them when they put them away.
@@ModelA that makes sense. Sorry for my curious question, but i am still trying to learn about Model A's
Don't be sorry! That was a legitimate question!
@@ModelA thank you
paul you must of been a bus driver in a past life lol!
Hahhaaaa!!! No, but I drove truck for a short time working my way through college.
True that modern cars all look like jelly beans on wheels, but there's 120 years of evolution that has manufacturers settling in on what works best.
More like- "What's cheapest and most profitable"
Not quite I'd argue the jelly bean styling of the majority of "daily transportation" cars is dictated by the EPA mandate for certain MPG ratings. Right down to no drip rails, gas cap covers, etc.
Why the thing for no wind screen in the early years
I guess they didn't go very fast??
Are you planning on going again next year? I'm hoping to drive my A next year and hopefully get to meet you
I hope so!
So did Mateo's channel make it to 1000 subs???
No. Bummer
