Frank Hartmaier: Freedom and Ice Cream
This month marks eleven years since Francis “Frank” Hartmaier’s 1929 Model A Ford was gratefully and enthusiastically accepted into the AACA Museum Inc. collection. On permanent display, the rose beige Ford was owned and operated by Frank for nearly 80 years. Purchased when he was seventeen years old, he and the car were inseparable until his death in January 2009, at age 97.
