This weekend was our annual Fun Days. Today was the car show, and we took our four Fords to the show. This year I enlarged the signs we place with the cars, laminating and using velcro to hold them to the front tires.
There usually aren't any cars as old as ours, but today was cool with brief showers so the turnout (cars) was pretty slim. Still a lot of people out, and our town of 2,000 really supports the weekend activities. Both daughters and my wife also ran in the Fun Run this morning while I moved cars.
Hard to believe it was four years ago I dropped in on your show, Rob. You didn't have as many old Fords then, and Holly didn't have a vette.

Beautiful display, Rob. You've created a great and historic car show all on your own!
There's a saying that anywhere you go in a T is a car show. This display raises that saying to a new level.
Ralph,
Yes, a lot has changed in four years. You need to stop in again .
Dane, yes, my tastes have slowly evolved (and thankfully so has business) allowing us to put a very nice early Ford collection together. My goal became owning and driving cars that led up to the Model T, along with two early examples of Ts.
Steve, it's quite job to get all four cars to the show with properly shined brass (somewhat) and all working/driving well at once. It is also rewarding when passerby's at the show stop and read about the events that occurred historically when these cars were being driven.
I am surprised no one mentioned my "Dick Clark" reference on one of the Model K posters. Guess my wife is right, I'm not as funny as I think .

The young'uns probably don't know Dick, and the rest of us can't read small print !!

Are you sure Dick Clarke wasn't in attendence? I read on the web somewhere that he was 35 years old about 12 years before he was born.
Nice nice cars, Rob. A couple more drivers and you'd have your own parade.
