I am pleased to report that Lee Chase, age 94 and MTFCA Member #29, was holding court at the Model T Ford Club of Southern California Luncheon last Saturday afternoon. Still alive and kicking.

He's looking good and the expression looks like he is very cognizant as well. Last time I saw him was on a tour, I think it might have been California Dreamin'. He had rolled his wheelchair off a step and had to go home early. Good to see you Lee. I wonder if he remembers when he suggested a trip to "Dante's View" in Death Valley? I went up in a 26 Roadster and used Ruckstell low Ford low both up and down. I don't think the earlier cars could have made it because of the lower location of the gas tank.

Good to see Leeoit and about. He just lights up when talking old cars.

Yes Thanks for posting! It's sure good to see some old timers still enjoying the T world. Hope to see Lee again at the National...

Great to see Lee Chase still in action ! Hes the FOUNDER of The Model A Touring Club---Now sanctioned by MAFCA---We did 3 or 4 Tours in Western Europe and Scandinavia and a T tour in France. Lee always an adept leader with good advice whatever the problem. His wife Suzanne arranged travel, a Dutch girl named Carla managed many tours and Rene Werner arranged shipping. Always a pleasure traveling with Lee---MATC still going strong!! Hope to see him again soon!! Paul

This event was the final gathering of the Model T Club of Southern California, of which I have been a member for over 60+ years. It's sad, but it happened. I have found a new bunch of friends in the Horseless Carriage Club of Southern California.

Aren't there several other MTFCA chapters in the area? Used to be a Long Beach Club. The one which has the annual Swap meet at the stadium. Which club was Walt Rosenthal a member of? He used to live in Glendale.

This is a thread about MTFCA Member #29 Lee Chase still being out there participating in the hobby. He's a real trooper and remembers it all.

I am only number 829 and only 91 years old. I hope to be as good as he is if I make it to 95.

That is 823.
