Escape bickering in a Ford Escape

Early 2000s. They (the then in-laws) were talking about selling their commercial building. The man renting it was having payment issues. They took me along to the place when they sorted paperwork and lawyer stuff. Next thing I remember the BIL had this brand new silver Ford Escape SUV in his parking space at Bangkok's State Tower. As we have language barrier, I would not say the vehicle purchase was related with the building sale. I fancy this old photo though as it shows origin of the vehicle and sends me googling its history.

Ford Model A "was the second huge success for the Ford Motor Company.... First produced on October 20, 1927, but not sold until December 2, it replaced the venerable Model T."  It was well-represented in film and media since it "was one of the most common cars." I find this historical bit interesting: "between October 1992 to December 1994, Hector Quevedo, with his son Hugo, drove a 1928 Model A 22,000 miles from his home in Punta Arenas, Chile to the Ford Motor Company headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan. The car is now housed in the Henry Ford Museum^{. " (Wikipedia)}

The Ford and the woman on the photo seem to be having a break in a countryside setting. That takes me to BIL giving two young nephews and a niece a ride in his new Ford Escape. Few minutes in they started quarreling like jungle monkeys and so he had to tell them to behave or they would have a picnic in the countryside road all by themselves. The brats immediately shut up. :)

And after two years thinking of participating in Sepia Saturday I'm finally doing it. I guess I can manage the 'no-rule' rule and updated guidelines fairly well. A love for history or anything that has something to do with antique or vintage, and interest in cherishing memories - wonderful, beautiful, fun or even bad if I could glean a good lesson from it, are major motivators.
