  • This year I attended the 2023 Model A Ford Foundation, Inc (MAFFI) 2023 Model A Days held at the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, MI. I captured the inside of the Model A Museum as well as checking out the swap meet, interviewed several owners with unique Model A and Model AA vehicles which will be on separate RUclips Videos and took a ride in a speedster.
    When I am not making images for my normal (if there is such a thing) bodies of work as a photographer, I make plenty of fun videos for my Model A or other related videos from that time period that you can find on this channel too. Be sure to check them out.
    As to gear, I shoot a variety of full frame Nikon cameras and lenses. Most everything is shot on a tripod to produce the sharpest images possible.
    You can see more about me and my photography at my website here www.kensmithgallery.com/

    My 1930 Ford Town Sedan has eyebrow fenders and still has the original interior. It's certainly worn but it still is functional. I have rebuilt the driveline, suspension, and tie rods, installed a modernized Model A motor with oversized intake valves, insert bearings, and a high compression head. I also have a lightened flywheel and V8 clutch. The car comfortably cruises at 50MPH but I've had it up to 60MPH. I have also insulated and installed sound deadener which has made the car enjoyable to be in even at 90 degrees.

      I saw Ken's A on the trailer and took off after him! Karen thought I was chasing you! Haha! She didn't know I recognized Ken's car.

    I think My Dad drove a Model A A Bus in High School. Dad is 84 now.

      1 of the Buses He drove wouldn't run when the spark Plug wires were a little damp, and He used to hold Spark Plug wires and He was holding 1 and reached over to the head Mechanic and the mechanic got hurt a lot more than a shock from the Spark Plug wires because he fell off the bumper trying to get away from My Dad.
