Rozum Motor Company
was started in 1917 by my grandfather, Anthony J. Rozum.
Tony's first sale was this 1917
Model T Roadster. According to my father, we
were able to buy this car back
in the early 50s and have kept it ever since. Today, the dealership is
operated by my brother Jim and myself and we keep this car in our
showroom. Why, we could never part with this one!
About 12 years ago or so, I
learned how to drive a Model T. It is very different than any other car as
John Rotella and Adrian Clements will attest, as they drove the car when
they came to visit last summer. The Tin Lizzie requires quite a bit of
concentration to drive. We do drive it around a little in the summer
months, but she is kind of cantankerous so we don't stray to far from the
dealership. I would have to say that the Model A was a vast improvement
over the T.
