There's never been a better time to register for the Santa Clara Valley Model T Ford Club 53rd Annual Endurance Run & Lowland Tour than now! Why? Because registration for the 53rd Annual Endurance Run & Lowland Tour ends on Saturday, May 18th, and this is the event you don't want to miss. So, go to www.SCVMTFC.org, click on the Registration Form and sign up! It's that easy. Don't forget to order your "T" Shirt, BBQ for Saturday and extra lunches for Sunday (2 lunches included in the Endurance Run registration.)

What's your sign?
That's what I thought.......
Don't Delay. Register Today!

I’m in! Car is this much closer

Andy,

Your car is looking great! I can't wait to see you and your car in June. Thanks for sharing the picture.

The Santa Clara Valley Model T Ford Club is excited to have a total of 51 vintage automobiles, including the Lowland Tour, for this year's event. So, if you've been on the fence, but really want to have a great time and meet some great people, sign up now! We are accepting Late Registrations through May 31st, so come on! What are you waiting for? You know you want to. Visit www.SCVMTFC.org and click on the Late Registration Packet.

That’s a good turnout Chris. Competition for the first donut will be fierce.


Andy

We’ll, after a failure during road tests the Mercury won’t be making the endurance run. The 14 runabout will step in for the lowland tour.

Andy

Rats!
I hope not too serious.

Access is the biggest problem. You pretty much have to disassemble the car to get the engine out.

Andy

Wow!!! major disappointment, not only to you, but to all of us. Major disappointment!

Ed aka #4

That's a real bummer Andy !!! You might know of Rudy Sarella from up our way - his F.I.L. was Bill Rader and I did some work for him on his speedster w/Gemsa O.H. - same drill - body was built up after the powertrain was finished - had to dis-assemble 1/2 of the car !

How was it today? Pictures, updates.

Tim

I couldn’t participate in the endurance run but we too the 14 down and ran the lowland tour. Lots of cars and folks we hadn’t seen in some time. It was well organized and the club was motivated to make it all work.

Here are some iffy photos from the line up.


Andy

A few more.

Congratulations to Mike and Vito! The Batteates are wonderful people!

Thanks for all photos. Wish I could have been there.

Looks like you all had a good time. I am looking forward to next week when we will have the National Tour in San Diego area. Hope some of you are coming here too!

I believe this Buick attended a couple of the SCVMTFC Endurance Runs in the past. Is this car still around and/or is it still in California?

It looks like another great event!!
