My Model T turns 100 years old!
In June 1924, something special happened... my Model T rolled off the assembly line! In June 2024, an incredible milestone was reached, Lizzie celebrated her 100th Birthday! I decided to share the celebrations at Mid Coast Ford Motorfest, on the King's Birthday long weekend in June. This annual flagship car show is put on by the Great Lakes Historic Automobile Club, of which I am a member. Enjoy the video

Mitch, it's obvious that you put a lot of time and effort into your excellent website. Anybody here who hasn't seen it should check it out. Sometimes people ask a question where one of your pages is the best answer, and I give them a link to it.

Congratulations. My touring car turned 100 years old on September 1, 2022. On that day, I took it on a 100 mile tour, which turned into 107 miles of enjoyment.

Re: My Model T turns 100 years old!
My 24 touring turned 100 in February. I got the centennial badge, but I’m still looking for long #6(?) brass screws to attach it. Alternatively, I’m thinking about attaching it to the front license plate holder since Michigan doesn’t require a front plate.

Miles, you could use 3mm or 2/8" all thread with dome nuts on each end. Bras if you prefer, or stainless steel.

Re: My Model T turns 100 years old!
Steve, its fantastic to see you back in the game again! A heartfelt welcome back indeed.
Thank you for the accolade, it's much appreciated
My website recently had a major overhaul, it was looking somewhat tired in my humble opinion!
I haven't been on here as often as I'd like to be, due to work commitments, but I hope your Model T can be saved / rebuilt.

Re: My Model T turns 100 years old!
Congratulations to anyone who has a Model T turning 100 years old. It is no secret that you people have put a lot of time, talent, and money into your cars to keep them running.
I too have a 1924 Touring that I have done quite a bit of work on to be road worthy, safe, & pleasing to the eye. Mine turned 100 years old back in January, and I went to the local Ford dealership to offer my car for display for a few days in their showroom. The owner said, yes we will have to do that. I even offered to have a birthday cake, ice cream, & coffee for anyone interested in coming in for a look-see &
be available to answer any questions people may have. The owner of the place never did get back to me. I guess he doesn’t want my business anymore. Don’t worry, I won’t be going back there anymore.

Oh Harvey, thats only because there’s too danged many lawyers out there
Although it was tremendously thoughtful of you to offer sweets and coffee, the millionaire dealership owner’s “Liability” light went off.

Re: My Model T turns 100 years old!
It's interesting you mention about a Ford dealership, I once contemplated taking my Model T along to my local Ford dealership and ask them about a full service, and insist on them using only Genuine parts
I reckon there could be a video in that!!
