McPherson, Kansas Museum Exhibit - Model T's!

Post by Chris Paulsen » Sat Nov 07, 2020 8:12 pm

The Flatland T's have been planning an exhibit at the McPherson (KS) Museum for nearly a year. Yesterday and today it came together. We've got 10 different Model T's on display along with some appropriate scenery. It was definitely a club effort - and fun to do. I hope everyone in the area (or passing through) can stop and check it out. Just one more reason to belong to a local club.

That looks like a well put together display, with a good mix of cars.

I’d love to try one of those Auto Polo cars!

Nice work! Looks great. Some of the artifacts with the cars are the bee's knees. Because of you-know-what, and being of the elderly persuasion, I've been keeping a low profile since March. I go out only for shopping or medical appointments, but I hope I can get up to McPherson and see the display before Jack Benny's birthday. If I remember correctly that's the last day.

That is a very impressive display. I can see that a lot of planning went into it. Those that helped with the display are to be commended also. Hopefully the students will follow in the footsteps of their instructors, and continue on to achieve greatness on their own. Thanks Chris for sharing this.
