MK...thanks for the kick in the butt!!!! I drove the Rambler to work today...probably will tomorrow also....Your post caused me to do it....I love sitting next to some "Japanese Tuner" at a stop light and he gets no attention because of some old bald fat guy in a 59 Rambler Station Wagon wearing a hawaiian shirt....I get the honks and thumbs up...they don't....Doug

I looked for quite a while for a classic car for weekend drives before deciding on a 1980 Shay. The Shay was a factory built 1929 Model A Roadster replica sold through Ford dealerships in the late 70 and early 80s. It even came with a 12 month/12000 warranty through Ford. I looked at real Model As but wasn't comfortable driving one and frankly wanted something a little more modern. The Shay has disk brakes and rack and pinion steering. It is a blast. We have already been in a parade and we drive to St. Charles MO (600 miles round trip) to a Shay owners gathering. Now I have to build a light weight wooden teardrop to pull behind it. Old cars and teardrops just naturally go together.
