The man was turning left from Downey Avenue onto Imperial Highway at about 6:15 Sunday afternoon when his car was hit by a Honda that was serving as a pizza delivery car — whose driver was turning left from Imperial Highway onto Downey Avenue, the dispatcher said. A video journalist at the scene said the impact of the crash pushed the Model A back onto Downey Avenue, and caused significant damage. He said the man had minor head injuries, but that the delivery driver was not injured.

 

sorry to hear about the accident.

kinda rare a 32 model A

 

32 model A,,never seen one.HRP

 

They're pretty rare.

 

You have to believe everything the media tells you!

 

If it is true it is so sad !!!!! Tom (Tired Old Man)

 

Thats a *****, he might've been the original owner.

 

Not likely. If he was 89, then he would have been born 1920/21 and have been 12 when he bought the car in the middle of the depression.

 

Yeah, if he bought it when he was 11

 

weather or not the news people know what end of a pencil does the writing..or the difference between a 32 Ford or a Model A..
I just hope his minor injuries heal up well, and that he sues the **** out of the idiot that probably doesnt even have a clue what his responsibilities are when behind the wheel, especially when representing a company..

 

Actually I am impressed that even though he got tee boned he only suffered minor injuries.

 

I want to know what the 32 looked like and if it was an original car... and that owner is ok. Why do bad things happen to good cars?

 

here's the only 32 Model A I've ever seen...

 

Hello Everyone,

Im the grandson of the man in the Model A Ford and let me make a correction it was actually a 1930 Model A.
To answer everyones questions he isnt the original owner but it has been in the family since 1930..... Does anyone happen to know who the journalist was that was taking the video of what Happened we miss place it with everything that has been going on....

 

Welcome to the HAMB Nate, I sure hope your grandfather will be O.K., Bulldog

 

Thanks for signing in and giving us the real story. Sorry about your Grandfather's misfortune. Hope he can recover quickly and fully and very sad about the Model A especially since it's been in the family since new....Don.

 

Gotta love pizza delivery guys- one took out the side of my '70 Nova playing "Dukes of Hazzard" in the snow... 3 weeks after it was painted!

 

To the average yutz, if its pre fat-fender and post Model T, its a "32". Hands up, how many Model A owners on here have had some guy at the local cruise night come up to them in the last 6 months, and say "Nice deuce"?

 

Hi Nate! Hope your Grandfather is ok and doing good! When I read the post I figured he had an "A" with a '32 grill? An old Hotrodder!

 

Henry Ford would have been the ORIGINAL owner

 

Well that clears it up..
Hey Nate, hope your Grandpa is feeling better

 

Hope Grandpa is doing ok. Cars can be fixed easier than people sometimes.

 

Nate, I hope the damage isn't too bad to both your grandfather and the A.
Anyone ever notice how we kinda focus on the wrong part of a story like this?? Like some bum reporter is going to know the difference.

Doc.

 

Thank you everyone he is recovering good a lil beat up, its worse than what is said he broke his knee cap but he is fine. The good news is that the car is fully covered and they are repairing the damage....
Heres a pic of what the accident looked like

 

Oh Man,,that's ugly I do hope you granddad heals up well.

I wouldn't be surprised that pizza delivery guy wasn't playing with a cell phone texting!HRP

 

Thank you,

we think he was speeding to make the light that he turned at, He needed to make the delivery on time and didn't want to wait but thats just what we think happened

 

Here's to a full and speedy recovery to your Grampa Nate - and to the Model A as well!

-Dave

 

Wish your grandpa luck! The car can be fixed.

 

That **** will buff out.

Welcome to the HAMB.
Car's still salvageable.
Best of luck to your grandpappy's speedy recovery.

 

Glad to hear your grandpa is doing well and as said before, the car can be fixed. Make sure they pay to repair the car to original shape with steel replacement parts, or NOS!
