Patricia... The Family Car
car photo inspection
Image by Sherlock77 (James)
After I asked Patricia if she would be willing to pose for this photo, she briefly told me her story and this particular car (1930 Ford Model A)

Her father purchased it back in 1952 (that yellow sticker on the right side of her is the 1952 inspection sticker), her father lovingly cared for it until his death when she and her husband took possession of it, and they still lovingly care for it... It is all original save the paint, and also has a very faded Calgary Stampede sticker from 1949 (which proved to be virtually impossible to photograph)
