Trailer parking for Saturday is at the Rumpke Recycle plant At 275 Fort Wayne Ave, Richmond. However, there’s so much road work your GPS May not get you there without lots of frustration.

Took the '25 Roadster Pickup to Graceville, FL for a car show to raise funds/gifts for needy children at Christmas. There were 199 awesome looking vehicles there and two Model T's. Lee Wolfe with his 1923 Touring and us. Both took judges choice. Our lil T also took "Best of Show Truck - Stock" . Alw...

The T looks life it’s left in time there - great photos.

Not letting me post the picture !

Weather may have cancelled the Tuesday MTFCA gathering.
But it didn’t hinder the enthusiastic group gathering on Wednesday.

It’s certainly a beauty - got a chance to see it at Hershey.

Kathy T.

Model T folks, whether you’re a MTFCA member or not - stop by the MTFCA booth at C4Q 37 - 39 area for a visit. There’ll be 5 Club Directors there, a couple Model Ts, a chair to rest and some water.

Great pics Chris.
Thanks for sharing the Australian National T Tour with us!

Join me in welcoming the newest MTFCA Chapter

A great group of folks who have connected with each other over the Model T.
Look for their story in the Vintage Ford, in the near future.

South Georgia Model T enthusiasts in the Thomasville area would like to connect and possibly form a MTFCA Model T Chapter. Would like to include the Tallahassee, FL and surrounding area. Please contact me at kltagert@cox.net or the MTFCA admin office if interested.

Gregory,
Thanks for posting that - it’s pretty neat !
Would be great to make into a magnetic sign for the side of the T.

George,
Just sent request to 2 MTFCA folks in the area. Awaiting reply.

Awesome Keith - thanks for getting these out to the T folks.

Back to the top - earlier question about Tulare happening.

There's a post by William Bennett that Tulare's a GO for 2023. Info is further down the forum.

Artistic Youths needed. We're looking for a great new T-Shirt for the Model T youth. What better than one created by our own Youth Explorers. Design must be T related of their own design (no adult help, photos, or internet images) Enter as often as they want. Deadline: design(s) must be received by ...

Posting pic skills need work - sorry

An assortment of Ts attending.

A few more photos.

[image][/image]Registration has begun, the MTFCA Board of Directors met today and folks continue to arrive to kick off the 2022 MTFCA National Tour.

An informative addition to the museum is the "Ford Time Line" finished in time for the Homecoming.
Micaela, the Museum Coordinator designed this great story of Henry and the Model T.

Kathy T

Folks,
We've had a hiccup on the Chapter page of the Website.
It's being worked and hope to be corrected soon.

Kathy Tagert

Wonderfully said - the Model T family is like none other I've encountered.
These beautiful ole cars are the catalyst to meet some of the finest people!

Kathy T.

Folks - my sincere apologies for not posting the( not so good) photos I took at Homecoming. If the transfer over works. I did see this request - so Yes - the Forum is reviewed. And hoped someone had some decent pics. You see, the Staff of only one full time paid person, along with the very few who v...

Looking for a few good Model T folks. :shock: As the final touches are being put together for the annual MTFCA Homecoming at the Museum, we could use an extra hand during the Homecoming for an hour or so to help the workers get a break. It takes a lot of manpower to put this event on for the Club me...

Absolutely awesome! The youth is the future to maintain the history of the Model T.
We need more young folks just like this!

AWESOME - connecting Model T folks together.
Plus teaching them the correct things about driving a Model T.

Welcome to an awesome hobby ! It’s so wonderful to read of a young person such as yourself connecting with a Model T. You’ll find lots of advise and help on the forum- don’t be shy about asking….. you’ve been given some great guidance here that I wish I’d had When I started driving Model Ts. Once yo...

A big welcome to the Lousiana Lizzie’s - the first new Chapter in 2022.

We look forward to hearing of their bayou tours and adventures.

Kathy Tagert

Jab35 is right on target with trying to get our Vintage Ford magazine out to our members. We try very hard to remain on schedule in putting the magazine together, proof it, get releases, etc…. Our Editor, Aleesa and Exec Director, Rachel, have consistently insured we continue to create a winning, in...

As I understand. The old MTFCA Long Island T Club disbanded and faded away. We now have an energetic gentleman, Manny, who is excited to start anew. You can contact him direct at manny.kourounis@gmail.com We’ve had a good response from Facebook and along current MTFCA Members - it can be a very acti...

Model T Enthusiasts…… We’re working together with T folks in the following areas to form new MTFCA Model T Clubs. Email me if you’re interested in helping and/or belonging. Let’s build the hobby, the friendship and support for the Model T, it’s history and it’s future. Long Island, NY Charlevoix, MI...

Jeff, I’ve helped start the latest MTFCA chapters and am working on a few more. It would be a privilege to help you start a chapter - it’s not hard and I’ve got all the examples you’d need. You can email me at kltagert@cox.net Plus, several chapters are dual clubs so members can partake in both nati...

Wonderful collection of pictures - thank you for posting them for us to enjoy.

Kathy T.

Frank,
that'd be one cool conversation piece.

The measure of a man is in the lives he touched. And obvious by these heartfelt posts - he touched a great deal of people and in an absolutely positive way. Having only met him a couple times. He was certainly a gentleman, gracious and loved being helpful. And it is my loss that I didn’t get to talk...

[image][/image]

Thanks for posting this.
I see a few items I could use.

Through the Wayne County Foundation and our generous Model T donors, it helps keep the Model T museum relevant. Not just to Club members, but helping us to remain Trip Advisors #1 Place to visit in Richmond - because our museum is so unique. Yes - a lot of museums have a Model T or two, however; non...

You’re absolutely right Steve - and although the Southern Peach Ts is a relatively new MTFCA Chapter - they are certainly on the ball- their website is great and they’re already setting up T training topics.
Hoping folks takes advantage of the speedometer presentation.

Our donation will be in-coming next week to meet the 9 Nov deadline. The care and support of those beautiful museum facilities and wonderful collection is only possible with the support of volunteers, donations, and visitors. we are also fortunate to be located in Wayne County that recognizes the si...

Check with some of the other T Clubs in the area and see if they’re game. You can find them listed on the home page under “About” and then chapters. Good luck and thanks for supporting the schools and getting the youth involved.

General Sam Houston and his Lady Emily Morgan are well know T dogs.

. Happy to ride in any of our Ts.

Great photos - thank you…

My condolences to the Cole family.
Mr Cole did a beautiful restoration on a gorgeous hearse.
What a wonder send off and obit.
I can only hope I’d have my final Tour in a T.

Brent - Thanks for letting us know.

Beautiful Coupelets…

An incredible loss to family, friends, and to our Model T community. I enjoyed his humor, the fact he said what was on his mind and appreciated when you told him the same. His unwavering support of the Model T Club of America and Museum will be deeply missed. Praying for Susan and their family in th...

Your TLC certainly made her shine - she’s a beauty. Enjoy all the smiles and head turning she’ll cause.

Looks like an awesome T time - thanks for pictures. Making me wish we’d made it to the tour.
Be safe and have fun.

Welcome to the MTFCA Forum and a great group of T folks who’ll help you along the way.
I’m working with a few in the Long Island area to regenerate the T Chapter there.
If you’d like to contact me, I’ll work to connect you with them.
Kltagert@cox.net

I know there’s Ts in the area of Long Island. The MTFCA has a chapter there and I’ve been in contact with a few members who are working on getting it back active again. Hoping we can do that.

Day 3 on Tour

The overhead photo was by drone by Tanner Big Country Photography who is providing his skills to the Inland Empire Model T Club.

Tour T Force….

Spokane countryside

The MTFCA 2021 National Tour kicked off with over 130+ Model Ts from across the US. The Inland Empire Model T Club has done a fantastic job of coordinating things and making everyone feel more than welcome to the Spokane area. I’ll try to summarize and attempt to attach some photos. I ask other atte...

The only main thing to be split, as I understand is the Dry Fly Distillery. Maybe access into a few of the museums may need to split entry due to people limits. Once they give you the directions, you can depart when you want, with whom you want, or alone. These tours are great for making friends and...

1909 T was for sale. Owner related it had a 1920’s engine.

Trying to post photos - sorry about my bumbling here.

Video maybe.

Not sure why pics didn’t post.

More Tour day

More photos…. I hope.

Tony, I got photos and video, mainly from Thursday. Will try to post here, sometimes I can get it right. Or call / email me. Kltagert@cox.net Worst comment was - weather, but after it stopped Saturday it turned out nice. We would of almost broke the vendor record of 56 at the swap meet, if the weath...

A few more pictures of the coupe.

The coupe started today, twice that I saw for just a shirt time due to being inside. The guys said it’s got good compression. It’ll go to a new home after sealed bids are opened.

Beautiful - awesome and inspiring.
Especially in today’s view of trading in your car every 4-6 years for the warranty, new technology and keeping up with the neighbors.

To find that T would be so special!
What a wonderful story - thanks for posting.

TWO DAYS until the National Tour registration closes on 9 June. It’s looking like a great bunch of folks will be there to partake of the Inland Empire’s great northwest hospitality and scenery. And after the year we just went through - we’re ready to do some serious touring! I’ll see you all there -...

Thanks for the great photos.
What an awesome tour you all had !
One day I’ll get there...

Absolutely awesome photos!
Thanks

Glad to see another steel bed ‘25 come to life. When you get it put together- let Larry Smith in CA know. I believe he’s keeping track of the ‘25 steel bed Roadster pickups. They’re a great conversation piece at shows.

130 Model T’s are signed up to date for the 2021 MTFCA National Tour in Spokane, WA. The inland Empire Chapter has a full touring schedule through the great Northwest.
