Clarence has been in the same family since
being bought new back in 1913 in New York State.

Passed down to family members - Clarence
traveled to Arizona - then Oregon.

He was purchased in 2008 by a couple living
in the San Francisco area.

The husband was inspired to purchase Clarence
when he saw a badly restored 1913 Model T Runabout
at the Ford Centennial Celebration in Richmond, IN.

When he took possession - Clarence had the original
horsehair upholstery


I will be slowly be making my way to Richmond, IN
from California starting later today - I am taking
I -40 east to Oklahoma City & then I-44 up through
Tulsa into Joplin.

I plan on stopping in Albuquerque & St. Louis
like I did last year with Alexander
The 1904 Ford Model B

Call me if you have a group that wants to
see Clarence as we make our way to
The MTFCA Museum

Dual horns...now that is interesting!
Thanks for the info Jim!

I can understand the need for dual horns. My wife definitely needs her own horn on her side!

Driver’s Horn


Passenger’s Horn


Driver’s Klaxton Horn

Oh wow, I didn't even notice the Klaxon!! That owner must really be horny!!

If I could pick & choose my hauls ....

This would be my choice - a Brass Era Grand Car
and a Model T ....

Sharing the trailer with Clarence - this beautiful
1910 Chalmers Detroit 30 Model K that is
headed to The Gilmore after I drop off Clarence
at The MTFCA Museum in Richmond, Indiana



Chalmers has an interesting history:

The Chalmers Award was established in 1910
with this model:

What a great morning

The last time I stopped in Albuquerque
was to show Alexander ( the 1904 Ford
Model B ) last summer.

Larry got some folks together to meet
at 10 a.m. - I arrived at 8 a.m. to get
both cars out.

Good turnout - thanks Larry

Special Thank You To Susan & Mark Wing

They have graciously hosted the local
Albuquerque Model T Club at their home
and fed us all very well during past visits

I am taking a break from loading the cars
back up - eating a roast beef panini that
Mark got me from the grocery store

Sorry I couldn't make it down

Hi Kirk

Sorry you couldn’t make it down.

Maybe next time.

The 1910 Chalmers Detroit 30 Model K
was an interesting contrast to the
1913 Ford Model T.

Built in Detroit - it sold for $1500.

on a cold day for members of both clubs
to come out & see the cars
