Over the father’s day weekend, Beth’s father decided that a cheap tie and an even cheaper greeting card weren’t going to cut it this year. Instead, he went out on his own initiative and treated himself to a brand new Ford Model A (well, new for him anyway). While the 1927 Model A pictured to the left is not Don’s car itself, it is the exact make, year and color as Don’s right down to the rumble seat and faux-convertible top.

Apparently and unbeknownst to me, owning a Model A has been a life-long dream for Don. Unfortunately, while on the way to getting his new car registered, it died and Don had to have it towed home on a flatbed. I guess they just don’t make them like they used to.
