Here are my three toys

I have been asked to show all three of my toys. The 1931 Model A has been in my family since my Grandfather bought off of the show room floor in 1931. He did not drive the car very much because he had a stroke and when he died my father got the car and he only drove it to club meetings and such. Now the car is mine. The car only has a little over 3,000 miles on it. I know this is the true miles. The Suburban was bought new by my Step Dad in 1970 and has been in family since new also. The 1986 I just bought about three months ago. So there you go.

Yes, and it runs as good as it looks. The steering and brakes takes a little getting use to.

That's truly an amazing story about the 31. I bet you'd be hard pressed to find a 74 year old vehicle of any type that has been solely in the same family, or only had 3 owners.
