Our son “politely” tells all owners of red combines or tractors that they’re going to break down and that he likes green ones. He also has to ask every pickup owner if it has 4-wheel drive because “daddy’s does”. To a 4-year-old, life is one big competition.

He’s also a Chevy man.

This past weekend, my husband went to a farm sale with our son. I knew he’d come home with something – I assumed an old tractor – but I just didn’t know what. He bought an old cream can (for me), a rickety old hay wagon (for himself) and a 1927 Ford Model T (for the family).

Can’t you just imagine a little brown haired, blue-eyed boy with a top hat opening the door to this on prom night?

We went for an afternoon drive and I must say, other than the musty smell, it rides quite nice and there’s ample leg room in the back seat. This one might be a keeper, even though it IS a Ford. Especially considering in May 1927, production of the Model T ceased, as preparations were being made for the first really “new” Ford in nearly two decades: the Model A.

Until we walk again …
