Farm sale

Apologies for the lack of posts over the past week: a flying trip back to Nebraska interrupted my normal routine. On the plus side, I was able to scan some photographs of interest while there, which I will share over the coming weeks.

First up is a photograph from a farm sale held on the Lushton farm in December 1960. More on the specifics of the sale later; for now I draw your attention to several items that were apparently on the sale.


Visible in the foreground are a hay wagon, a tractor, and an old car. It is the latter that is of interest to us in this post.


I am told that this vehicle is a Model A Ford, and comparison with the 1931 Deluxe Tudor Model A pictured below seems to confirm this identification.


This raises the question, of course: Whose car was this? Did Grandpa and Grandma own a Model A at some point (we know about the 1929 Nash; see here), or was this owned by one of their kids? If you know anything about this car, please let the rest of us know.

Update: Or could the Buller car above actually be the 1929 Nash?
