Just A Car Guy: Adam posted an interesting story on Facebook about his grandfather's model A being put on hold by too many old people, who died before getting much progress, and his Aunt who is finishing the restoration. Moral to the story, don't put it off

Mum bought it for Dad in January 1954 to use as second car in the Navy.

August of 1954, Hurricane Carol caused evacuation of Quonset Point Naval Air Station, North Kingstown, RI. Dad had to go out to sea with aircraft carrier.

Had to leave ‘28 behind to the elements. Spent next 40 years moving from barn to barn waiting.

My grandfather past away in 1998 so he was not able to see the restoration past the chassis. The restored chassis sat in a garage until recently when my Uncle Hugh started to finish the restoration. Unfortunately my Uncle Hugh passed away in June of 2017. My aunt is now making a point to get this finished is it is always what my uncle wanted
