Among other claims to fame, Petaluma is the home of American Graffiti. We've got a bunch of old car culture here. I occasionally think it'd be cool to have a vehicle suitable for tooling around town in, and fantasize about building a pedal powered quadricycle version of some old vehicle that'd be a good way to go shopping and fit in.
Bob Ferry has built a 1906 Oldsmobile Model B Runabout replica. That looks like a classy way to get the groceries.

I don't think it would take an awful lot to convert a Roades Car into one of those.

Local car nut says that Ford model A are available fairly affordable. I met
another model A nut who's about to drive from here (Ohio) to San Diego for a model
A aficianados' meeting.

These past couple years have actually been good times for finding classic cars.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
