1929 Model A Ford Still Has Original Owner (He Bought It For $10)

SHELTON, Conn. -- Clarence Curtiss isn't the kind of guy to trade in his car every few years.

He still has his first car, a 1929 Model A Ford he bought during the Depression for $10.

He jokes that people have offered to triple his money. But the 82-year-old Connecticut man said he won't sell his Model A, not even for $1 million.

More than 60 years ago, Curtiss carved his and his then-girlfriend's initials in the steering wheel.

That girl was his wife of 56 years, until Curtiss became a widower in 1998.

Curtiss was an auto dealer and collected more than two dozens cars over the years. But he said none of his cars was as special as his first.
