OK, I'm confused. What is an "A" frame? Can a frame built in 2000 be an "A" frame? Are "A" frames "A" frames because of how they're made or when they're made? Or both? Obviously, frames with "Limited" decals are not "A" frames but what's the difference.

George Allen with, I think, a 1973 "A" frame and a 1999 "I know not what" in Lexington, KY USA
