Then this thing comes along, I don’t even know what it is. Looks newer than a Model T, but not a 1930’s or 40’s car.

First glance, maybe a Model A.

Something from around 1930, kind of resembles a later Model A roadster, but seems bigger maybe just due to the pic.

That’s sort of a weird bridge...

I want to buy a Veteran car one day.

Not now, too many newer things to play with!

I was thinking a model A was older than a model T so I just assumed it was not.

So I see. Not exactly where I’d expect to see a pedestrian skybridge, but I guess it makes some sense.

How many cars until you become a parade?

My guess is Model A, same as everyone else’s.

Yep, the rear bumper and fold up jump seat.

He turned off at the lake lodge, hand signal and all. Yes, can confirm it’s a model A.

Exactly. The letters aren’t in order (there was also Model B, Model K, etc).

Model A = model years 1928-31.  Model T 1908-27.

That’s not a jump  seat, it’s a rumble seat.

 They need to bring rumble seats back so I don't have to listen to arguing kids while I'm driving.
