Re: Reenact father's 1925 Model T trip

Thanks for the replys guys Any more? I'm all ears. I know 395 VERY well having traveled it over 100 times in 65 years.

He was 22 years old and had a Model T with a Ruckstell axel, Frontenac head and a blacksmith lowered front axle. He painted the T green with...
