Doug’s Story
Our 1929 Model A, Tudor was purchased with the aid of my father, Ole Knutson when I was seventeen years old (1976). The 29 Model A was sitting in an old barn on a farm in Southern Saskatchewan. After making a solid offer of $75 dollars, I became the proud owner of the car. I felt confident in my abilities to restore the car to its original glory, which was the beginning of quite an adventure. The progress seemed extremely slow while I was attending technical school in Edmonton. Whenever I came home to the farm, I would remove and take some component back to be rebuilt. Once married, I needed to convince the New Bride that the Old Model A required a warm place inside the garage Wendy’s comments included - "What are you going to do with that Pile of Rust”? What a joy it was to fire her up the first time and drive her around the back alleys. My entire family enjoys the car immensely and my wife now refers to the old Pile of Rust as the “Date Car”
