FJ - Visiting One Of My Hobby Heroes On The Eve Of A Statewide Shutdown

Post by FreighTer Jim » Mon Mar 27, 2023 9:07 am

Three years ago - on the eve of the beginning of
COVID-19 travel restrictions in Minnesota - I found
myself visiting a Living Legend in Minnesota.

I had to be out of the state in the next day
or so - I could not visit his farm.

This year - he will host another swap meet at his
Farm on April 22nd for Model A and T Hobbyists.

This Is What I Found When I Visited:

I love that building he preserved! I just love old buildngs period. Sure wish I knew if Clara, my '13 may have come from that dealership. Too bad it's all but impossible to find records. I have a gut feeling she just might have come from there. Thanks for the post Jim.

Wonderful story and pictures. Thanks to both Bob and Jim for the good news. I very briefly considered buying the old Ford dealership in Lockhart when a new one was built. It began in 1926. It finally sold for $850 K. That’s why my consideration was ‘brief’.
I don’t know why I turned out this way. My parents were decent people 🤪
