Shay Model A
« on: March 17, 2019, 07:11:00 pm »
In the summer of 2018, I gave a 95-year-old lady a ride home from church.

Made her day!

Same car I used for my son's wedding in  2014.

The shay auto was made in Battle Creek Michigan about a mile from my house
What a great idea and I was disappointed when they closed after only a couple of years
My friend had the model A and it look just like the ones Henry Ford built
Really cool

Glad you like my Shay.

It just turned 9000 miles at the end of last summer, so it has a lot of life left in it.

Just goes to show you that Battle Creek is good for more than corn flakes!

Had a 31 model A when I was in my 20’s sold it for a down payment on a house. O’well. No regrets. If I still had it today no doubt it would be a street rod.
