THE MAN SELLING THE HOUSE WAS AN OLDER GENTLEMAN THAT CLAIMED THAT HIS FATHER HAD BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. HE INHERTITED THE HOME AND THE BELONGINGS IN IT FROM HIS FATHER AND HAD RESERVATIONS ON SELLING THE HOUSE DUE TO NOT HAVING AN ADEQUATE PLACE TO STORE THE MODEL A AFTER THE HOME WAS SOLD. THE GUY BROKERING THE DEAL ON THE HOUSE WAS TOLD "IF YOU FIND A BUYER FOR THE MODEL A THEN THE HOSUE WILL BEAVAILABLE FOR SALE ONCE ITS GONE" THIS IS WHERE MY FATHER CAME INTO PLAY ON PURCHASING THE CAR. HE FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS ORIGINAL HENRY FORD STEEL BODIED CAR WITH ITS ORIGINAL BLACK EXTERIOR PAINT STILL ON IT!
