MTFCA Forum

1906 model F and 1908 model S Roadster have been approved. Looking forward to OCF.

3 fun days of touring heading to the reunion tomorrow. Kudos to those who organized and layed out the tours. Great roads and destinations. Only a little bit of rain on Thursday. But was fun to be around all the different Model Ts and their owners. Looking forward to the Reunion tomorrow.

Seems I know of a red K roadster that also has been seen racing around several events. Probably can go faster now that it has a windshield. Just saying

Been working on my model F. Had the front connecting rod rebabbited and now reassembling everything for a test run. Waiting for model S engine from rebuilder who is fitting a new crankshaft. Hope to have both in Minnesota this summer.

I checked with Glenn Rand who made the last batch of new ones and he sold all of them. He has no current plans to make another run of them. Sorry

Thanks Tom for the wonderful pictures. Paul

Thank you Rob for your research and keeping us up on early Ford information.

Just want to thank MTFCA for creating this forum for pre T Fords.

Welcome Tom! Be seeing you soon when the 1 & 2 cylinder tour comes through Medina. Paul

Here’s our Christmas decoration.

There are currently 42 Model S roadsters registered with the EFR.

I don't know the total survival rate but 2 years ago at the Old Car Festival we had 7 of them lined up for a picture. I think they survived well. We have several registered at the EFR. My car has been in our family since 1948. My father bought it from a local Ford Dealer who had it in their showroom...

Rick Lindner and I are on the VMCCA one and two cylinder tour in Richmond IN. We were just here for the model T Homecoming. The EFR is represented by an 04 model A and a 06 Model F. Having fun. We will be visiting the Model T museum later this week.

: Rob’s Model B at OCF

The Early Ford Registry is planning to attend the Model T Homecoming in Richmond this year. We hope to present all of the early Fords A through S. I plan to bring my 1906 Model F and 1908 S Roadster.

Rob allowed me to have the privilege of driving the Model B for the forum get together. It was fun giving rides and sharing this unique vehicle. I got to drive it about 40 miles on a pre tour for the New London to New Brighton run. Most likely the most miles a Model B has traveled in 100 years. It w...

The Buick that finished fourth was a model 14 2 cylinder car. The owner a retired machinist restored the car and it presented itself very well. Maybe next year the Fords will pull back and let him be first. We’ll have to see

I was really looking forward to driving the model B on the big tour. We were just getting it dialed in when Rob had to leave. But I got to put 40 miles on it on the Wednesday mini tour. A great car to drive. My model F was one of the did not start cars. We had a connecting rod issue. But it will be ...

Yesterday 10 early Fords left New London and traveled 125 miles to New Brighton. I am happy to report all 10 crossed the finish line. 2 -04 model A, 1-model N, 1-model R, 2-model S runabout, and 4-model S roadsters.

I had the opportunity to drive Rob’s model B Ford on last Wednesdays mini tour in New London about 40 miles. The most distance a model B has traveled in 100 years. Happy to report the car performed well. Would have done the 125 mile run on Saturday but due to illness the car had to leave. Was sure a...

Sad to hear. I really enjoyed hearing you and Randy doing pass in review .

We made it to Lansing about 5 pm. The model F ran great. I think about 4 cars ended up on the trouble trailer . Good weather. It’s 54 out now, it will be a cool start. Plan on leaving around 7:30. When it’s light enough.

We are in Dexter. 40 plus cars . Helped to change 1 flat tire on a 08 Jackson. We are driving my 06 model F Ford. So far so good. At 47 miles the route today is 102 miles total.

The Early Ford Registry will have a display of early Fords on Sunday. We have a 1904 Model A, 1905 F, 1906 F, 1906 N, and a 1908 S Roadster . Hope to see some of you on Sunday.

Glen Rand makes reproductions. He’s not on line. But a member of the EFR. I,m running one of his gears on my S roadster. It works great.

I have a 1908 S roadster that has been in our family since 1947. And I have the privilege to be the next caretaker of a 1906 model F touring. I guess I have my dream. Sad however because it came from a good friends estate.

I have it on a Player piano roll. Great song. I have another roll with verse that goes I bought a new Ford car and was prouder far than the owner of a Stutz. But it fell away the very next day, the squirrels ate the nuts.

We had a great time at the museum. The hospitality was fantastic. From there we headed north along the western side of the state. Was helped with our route by a fellow T owner who told some friends we were passing through. They found us at a fuel and rest stop. We went to look at their collection. T...

We traveled 197 miles yesterday with no problems. Only about 40 miles from our destination. Should be there before noon today. We are looking forward to seeing the museum.

We are heading to the Model T Museum. Three T’s. 2,1914 Tourings and 26 Fourdoor. We are leaving Valley City, Oh today and plan to travel about 150 miles today and finish the trip on Friday. We will be at the Museum Friday afternoon and Saturday morning before heading home. Should be about a 500 mil...

Joe is great, has done several engines for me, all have been great. He sure is. a treasure to the hobby! Cheers Paul

ADDED SOME PRE T PICTURES THIS MORNING

Good luck Dean hope to see you at Hershey.

I was driving 1906 model F Ford. We were first to cross the finish line at about 3 :30. We were wet and tired. But would do it again in a heartbeat! Always a fun run, great people and hospitality. 11th time for me. The Ford F was the oldest car I have driven. Previous cars were 1909 Brush and 1908 F...
