Ed Archer was kind enough to bring the latest donated
Model T to The MTFCA Museum from San Francisco
to meet me off Hwy 101
After lunch I got him to share his story
In a sit down interview
Enjoy

Great interview. I met Ed for the first time when he came to West Bend, Wisconsin to promote Edy's ice cream with his Model T ice cream truck in 1988 at the grand opening of the Sentry grocery store. Thanks for the memories, Ed!

How do you know it's really him? The mask hides his most noticeable feature!

I thought that this classic Ed Archer legend only existed in folklore.

Jim, Thanks very much for the post. Ed and the #4 are "One of a Kind" Next should be some video of Ed and the famous speedster for those less informed?
Like Humble Howard Genrich and his Lucky 7 they won't always be around forever so these videos are very important.

At the 2018 Homecoming & Tour in Richmond, Indiana
Ed & his wife were the last to leave a small town
in The Yellow Bullet 🏎
We saw Ed speed past and jumped into our
trouble truck rigs - I caught up with him at the
edge of town where a local
was parked.
Ed drove past the
at a speed higher than
the limit posted - the
just stared with his
mouth open
FJ
was parked.
