[AT] 4020's coming back?

[Rob Wilson]

My Dad knew and old guy that heard that the Model T's were being fazed out
so he went and bought 2 and put one on blocks and drove the new one. He said
that he never got to drive the one on blocks since he took so good care of
the 1st one it outlasted him.

	I have a good 4020... What I want is to buy a new model A ford.
They couldn't reproduce either one though. Some fool would just "have" to
make a few changes and would screw it up. Of course the model A could never
get past the EPA as is and by the time they got it to where it would it
would have 10,000 more components and a computer equipped team of top
mechanics would need a week to change a spark plug...

	You can't go back... All you can do is drag your feet.   :)

John, I haven't heard any such rumour but I can see where a 'new' 4020 might
be popular. The old ones certainly hold their value well.
Maybe General Motors should consider resurrecting the 57 Belair?
