Gentlemen;-
Replying to your inquiry relative to my Model A car, I am pleased to say that I am the owner of a 1930 Model A Tudor, which I purchased from your company, this being the second Model A that I have purchased from you.
The first Model A I bought was a 1929 Fordor, which I drove 48,000 miles. The only work that I had done on the 1929 Fordor was to have the bearings taken up once and the valves ground once. My total expense on the car in the way of upkeep was not over $20.00.
I am proud to be the owner of a Model A automobile for several reasons. They handle nicely in traffic and ride comfortably over all kinds of roads, and they are very economical on gas and oil.
I think that the Model A is the best car that has ever been made.
Very truly yours,
[signed] Ray Snell
