Here in Missouri we have a potato chip company called "Backers Potato Chips" based in Fulton, Missouri. They've been around a long time, and anyways I found this on their website. It's a pretty small photos. The owner of Backers Potato Chips owns a Model T.

Well found Garrett.
Is Fulton very far from where you live? If it is within an easy distance, you could perhaps e-mail the company and try to arrange a visit to see their T.

To all- I was married almost 25 yrs to the sister of the family, after a 3 1/2 yr divorce I remarried 24 yrs ago, the chip factory is about a miles and a 1/2 from our home, the 2 brothers in the family and I and several others started the Kingdom of Callaway MTFCA in 1976, I've been a member since 1966, the Backers Potato Chip first truck was a 36? hump back DODGE small truck, they have an example rebuilt in the Backers Museum of Antique cars in Fulton Mo less then a mile from where I live on the family farm. the museum has about 90 cars presently shown, MANY more in storage. Vicki Backer McDaniel has several T's, including all her fathers cars. The brothers cars wound up with the kids also. Dane Fulton is about 45 miles from Boonville Mo, in our area we have many T's but most like all clubs don't belong to a club. Backers Potato Chip Co produces there on brand and MANY others including WAL-MART brand, One brother Dale is semi-retired,still works the business, and the older sister Vicki runs it.She and her husband Mike also have and restore Historical homes in Fulton Mo, they are a busy family with step children, husbands and wives and familys. I'm lucky enough that we just took the original sister of the founding family out of the marriage and my wife Karen and I are still included as friends of the family, we all get along great. Thanks Tom Miller for the heads up. How's the son's 11-early 12 doing. I'm thrilled you finished my project and your family has the benefits of it.

John,

Tom Jr. had a car show at work last Friday. He came home with the best of show trophy. There were around thirty cars in the show. The light blue Mustang in the background belongs to my former boss.



Forgive me for stealing Garrett's thread but at least Tom's car is similar to the one he just rode.

John, tell your wife I love Backers Potato Chips! Especially their "Red Hot" ones. They really are hot!

Dane, Fulton is about 40 to 50 miles away from my house.
