Young guy invested in a 1931 Ford Model A because stock market is too risky. Meet John Hermida

[@garylcampbell9964]

I bought my wife a 1931 Model A Roadster . We love it what a machine.

[@bobbyroy84]

I know a lot of younger folks who are wanting these Model A Fords and other early cars! I LOVE this! I adore Model A Fords! I have quite a few 1920s Cars and have got a lot of them back on the road, the one thing I pray for is that they will keep making the parts for them! I am having issues getting the parts I need at present, like 2 blade fans and other parts!

[@ModelA]

I am also thankful for the parts we can still get. I hope it continues. A temporary shortage of certain parts happens.

[@mattomon1045]

congrats Mr. Hermida. And Thanks Paul!

[@ModelA]

Thanks Matt

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Nice interview, John Hermida is a really nice young man, good to see the younger folks getting involved with the older cars. I like what you all are doing, I hope for the continued success of John and you with all your endeavors. I hope you have a fabulous day and weekend, stay safe and God Bless!

[@ModelA]

Thanks Dan. I think a lot of John. Good man.

[@charlesdalton985]

Congratulation on the wedding - many happy years of marriage and motoring! Thanks for sharing a great story. Have a wonderful week ~ Chuck

[@BrianSaltzgiver]

Purchased my first model A this year and couldn’t be happier!

[@ModelA]

Good work, Brian!! YOU are the warranty!

[@Enzo-q1p1o]

Welcome John! Thanks Paul!

[@patmccarthy5069]

Welcome to the extended Model A family!!!! Great people

[@timothysotelo3868]

I was mostly into 60s fords but the taste moved prewar and looked at Packards , Lincolns and Auburns. The model A support is what lead me steer to this car. I wish there was Shinn family to support my other brands

[@ModelA]

I'd love to have you on the channel sometime. What a great story!

Saludos Paul y Tina, desde chile sud america, un abrazo y que pasen unas feliz Navidad junto a vuestra familia.

[@ModelA]

Hola, amigo! Gracias!!

[@danielulz1640]

Congratulations, John, on your Model A and your gorgeous new bride.

[@bobblankenship3427]

What a fantastic story. As a Model A owner, I can relate. Thank you for the great story.

[@mackfisher4487]

Great interview Paul thank you. I would think prep community would boost interest in the model A community due to its repair ability.

[@ModelA]

It certainly could!

[@vayabroder729]

That car looks beautiful. Good score.

[@douglasnieblas74]

I live in the Miami Area and I agree that the traffic here is terrible. My modern daily driver was hit in a parking lot and is now being repaired by my insurance. I don’t own a Model A yet but I can definitely vouch for everything he said. Thank you for posting this Paul.

[@ModelA]

Thanks Doug! Sorry about your wheels, man.

[@dalemettee1147]

So John, first, let me say that by owning a model A, you're on your way to discovery. Second, everything that you do to your "project" is an improvement to it. I would suggest updating the lighting. Head lights, cowls, tail lights to LED's. When you fixing a unit from the car, the operation and design just makes sense, in most cases. Wait 'till you want to teach your wife to drive this fine piece of machinery.

[@richardbrobeck2384]

that is wonderful news to see someone young getting into model A !!

[@ModelA]

Isn't John something?

[@myronjacobs5014]

Fantastic interview Paul, next year I’ll be in Miami and will be great to meet him. Very informative and convincing interview. Model A here in Curacao, really is a very much liked vehicle, and people really are impressed to learn how these prewar models were designed and operating till the day of today and beyond. Model A is an icon of the automotive world. Thanks Paul. Regards to Mrs. Tina.

[@ModelA]

Thank you Myron!! I sure hope you and I have the opportunity to shake hands someday. You are a good man!

[@craigroberts3982]

That's good stuff right there.

[@leahbarnacle6956]

Welcome John to the wonderful world of Model A’s. It’s wonderful to see that you and your new bride are going to enjoy your Model A together. After traveling my bride and I have been enjoying our A driving all over the this wonderful country mostly on back roads. We are still Married after 75,000 miles See you done a country road Steve and Leah

[@keithmueller9860]

Paul and Tina, America's #1 Model A enthusiasts! Henry would be so proud of you two. 😊😊😊

[@ModelA]

Thanks Keith! My goal is to make new Model A owners.

[@TuanBasikal]

My first, second and fourth cars were Model As, my daily drivers for 8 years. Sold my third one in 1982 and last month I bought my fourth -- 42 years later.

[@ModelA]

You're in it DEEP, man!!

[@michaelrepetto669]

Great video Paul 👍

[@ModelA]

Glad you liked it!

[@Kybossls]

Paul great points on this hobby, it grows into a lifetime changing experience. John congratulations on your marriage and as us older folks know, those that play together stay’s together. Tina and Paul are good examples of this, plan on the Model A days at the Gilmore. KY Ken.

[@ModelA]

You got that right, Ken! And yes- The Gilmore is already on the calendar.

[@jimcosgrove292]

Great story John congratulations on the car and new wife

[@ModelA]

Thanks for the kind words. John's a good guy.

[@SunnyJay]

You should have interviewed David Welch, he’s young, he also lived in Southern Florida, he actually drove his car to the Keys 4 times (once accompanied by a 1919 Model T), and is passionate about the hobby, not as a wacky money-making venture. He literally just bought his second Model A. Why you ignored him I’ll never understand.

[@ModelA]

I did not know he existed. Definitely not ignoring anyone. If he reached out to me the way John did, I'd interview him.

[@jeffsr8300]

John whatever you do, enjoy your Model A, and Madison & You have a long Happy Marriage.👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@williamforbes5826]

Yikes! A Packard! Thats the deep end of the classics pool! When my rich uncle gets outta da poor house.... Great niche article Paul! And he is in my neighborhood (Florida). Its cool that these cars bring people together.

[@deanjernstrom3760]

Great to me you John. Awesome to see. Keep trucking Mr S.

Hey Paul, do you have a video on adjusting a steering box on a 31 model A?

[@snarfopotamus3627]

recently was allowed to put "nova the chocolate 4door" in a parade this was the first time i was ever able to drive it more than the end of the road and of course the people put me at the front. it was the most fun ive ever had but wont be able to take it on long form drives because i cant afford tags and cant afford to fix the structural duct tape. hopeing to beable to join mafca soon but cash is tight and i need new headlight reflectors.

[@ModelA]

You got to LEAD a parade??!!! AWESOME!!! I want to shake your hand. You're one of us now for sure.

[@janosszabo2206]

I found a Randy Shinn in an booklet put out from Veda Orr. Would this Gentleman be related? The article was written in 1946.

[@billchuplis9460]

If I wanted a Model A with air conditioning i'd invest in a Shay. With barely 40HP as is the compressor and alternator with grab at least ten of them.

[@ModelA]

You'd be surprised how well a high torque Model A engine can adapt to AC loads. I know a lot of people running AC and it doesn't seem to affect much. Swap to a 5.5 head and it totally cancels out the AC load.

I do this KZbin thing to help the Model A hobby, no other reason. Not for me, not for money, not for subscriber count or popularity. So, I'm good with it as-is. Thank you!
