Bottom line I was stupid but it worked out great.
On Saturday I got the T ready for a Sunday car show in Amesbury Ma.
I cleaned the trailer, cleaned the T, and loaded the T for quick getaway on Sunday morning.
On Sat evening I checked the info on the Amesbury car show and learned that it was the next weekend.
The T was all dressed up with no place to go, so I checked the internet for other car shows on Sunday
There was one in York Maine (about 30 miles away) but the info was sketchy at best.
The times were confusing and I couldn’t tell if it was this year or one in the past.
I found one online magazine article that said it was from 8AM to 3PM so I decided to try.
To my surprise the article was correct and 300 vehicles showed up.
I was put in the pre50s group and met a bunch of nice people.
When it came time for trophies the T got first place and Best of show.
It turned out to be a fun day.

Re: Strange weekend
I just got a message from the local newspaper.
They want to do an article on the 100 year old car.

Re: Strange weekend
Fell right in there, you did Fred !!
Sounds like a good time.
My buddy's RPU won "best in show" 1st time at a local drive in show. He was surprised and tickled at the same time.
