Some highlights

holly cow those are gorgeous

Of all the depressing things, my camera battery was dead! Do you mind if I copy any of your pictures to post as long as I give you credit? If you're okay with that, do you by chance have a picture of that Model B engine? Thanks, Keith

Wow wow wow! Great time had by ALL! 3 days of touring, a GREAT birthday party for Henry's 160th, free pie, cake and ice cream (fantastic social hour), the alphabet Fords on Display, best swap meet ever - and FREE seminars - does it get ant better than that ???

For those having trouble identifying the mysterious alphabet Fords in the above pictures: the first picture is the red 1906 Model N (1907 green Model R is on the left in the picture) the third picture is the green 1905 Model F , fourth picture is the red 1903 model A. You truly missed a once in a lifetime event courtesy of the MTFCA - all of the alphabet Fords - all running and driving - on display outside of Piquette. My hats off to the Early Ford Registry folks who went the extra mile for this event - to bring their cars at their own expense and display them for two days answering and untold amount of car questions and putting on a fabulous show!!!

The city of Richmond, Indiana has hosted many model T Ford events and I have been fortunate enough to be around for all of them. Of course the granddaddy of them all, the Centennial will never be topped. With over 1000 cars it was spectacular. The last two events that we have hosted have been very memorable as well. Seeing well over 100 Model Ts surrounding our main museum building, occupying every square inch of space, last year during the MTFCI‘s visit was a sight I’ll never forget. And this year‘s homecoming with all the special activities that were mentioned in the threads above fits into that category. I think anyone that you ask would say this was a homecoming for all homecomings. As president of the MTFCA I want to issue a very big thank you to the alphabet car folks for making this very, very special. I don’t know how we’re going to top this next year, but we’ll try. Mark your calendars to come to Richmond the first weekend in June.

A fabulous show with excellent weather to boot. Special thanks to the Early Ford group for their stellar presentation. Seeing the early cars starting and running was a treat.

The car show has been a solid crowd pleaser since the Homecoming inception, and has become a better attraction with each passing year. Much a credit to the excellent MTFCA Museum staff and volunteers, who organised and managed the events.

We from the Early Ford Registry were very happy to bring our cars and show them off ! The crowd was great and the staff was very accommodating! The story behind the Model C was off the charts. Again it was our pleasure to bring our cars, and let the people see them.

A great time was had by all!
The Club and museum staff with wonderful volunteers made this one great event.
Thanks to the vendors and all who came to support the museum and hobby.
And there’s no thanks big enough to the EFR group. Sharing their beautiful cars with us and working so hard to keep their history alive showing off Henry’s designs along the way to the Model T.

Did I mention they had FREE PIE ?

Thanks for posting the pictures. Anyone have any more?


Andy

I have a whole 20 min. video that I should have done by Friday night. I'll post a link here when it's done.

...free pie? I somehow missed the free pie

A few more

More from Saturday

Wunnerful !!! Thanks everyone for the pictures ! My favorite is that original rusty, wood patina delivery express
Only thing I’d do with it is strengthen wheel spokes.

A grateful thanks to everyone for posting pictures of the homecoming.

Paula G - SweetTing - has just posted a new video on YouTube about the Homecoming. Please leave he a "thumbs up" when you watch it. She works hard on her videos!

Excellent video, thank you very much!

Yes, great video! Thanks. I wonder if that dog made it on the rest of the tour! Someone shoulda given it a ride!

Tim- the dog and the horse were my 2 favorite parts of the whole video! I'm glad she was "camera ready".

Great video ! Thanks Bill and Paula. I’m envious Neat bucolic roads without fast driving young people checking social media.

Wonderful video! Thank you, Paula!!!

Sorry for the late post, I finished this on Friday, but now I can't log into the forum from my home laptop, doesn't like more than 20 re-directs or something
