Back in those days a car ride from Arkansas into Oklahoma was something to talk about for weeks maybe even months.Riding in a car in the early 1930's was a treat. Most of the country people might not see a car come by their house for weeks.The above car was a 1931 Model A Ford 4 Door Sedan, owned by Marvin Craig of De Queen, Arkansas.
