when venturing out in their old Model A. for the driver behind you to heed?

Is the air in the tires sufficient? And while we speak of that fellow behind you

Have the lug nuts been torqued down real tight? Do you keep him clearly in sight?

Did you measure the crankcase oil level? If he disappears from your review mirror,

Did you check that tiny stoplight? Slow down to determine his plight.

Is the radiator topped off with water? We’re all in this tour together

Do you carry a gallon for spare? Our goal is to have some fun
