INTRODUCTION

While neither the Ford Model A nor the MGTD are classic cars in the true sense of the word because of their high production volume, Dad considered them both to be. He purchased a 1929 Model A Ford Tudor Sedan in 1953; in 1960 he purchased a 1953 MGTD.

His objective was restoration, but budget and the threat of an Air Force transfer interfered, so he only restored the Ford’s engine piston rings, and left his sons to work on the MG.

They were his pride and joy and made for lots of memories for his sons.
