Two of my uncles had a couple of these each. The cars came with a tool
kit that contained all the tools necessary to completely dismantle the
entire car.
About once every 2 years they would have a contest (at our family
picnic on the 4th of july). The contest consisted of 2 teams of 3
people. The object was to completely dismantle the Model A and put it
back together using only the factory supplied tools.
At the last contest, I was about 10 years old and they let me be the
timer ;)
OH, for those who want to know...... The winning team had a time of
slightly over 4.5 hours. and had consumed 28 bottles of 16 oz Yengling
Premium Draft Beer ;)
