My favorite sports car is a 1930 Model A Sport Coupe. It was my first car. When I bought it in 1957, it was sitting in a field with chickens roosting in it. I spent two years cleaning up rust and chicken deposits. I rebuilt the engine, painted it Cadillac metallic maroon, stitched up a white roll and pleated naugahyde interior, drove it to college, and dated my future wife in it.

I still have it, and after sitting in storage, indoors and out for over 30 years, it is going to be torn down and restored to original.

Oh, and yes, I am still married to the lovely young lady the I dated back then...and when the Model A is running again, we intend to pick up the dating where we left off.
