I live in Arizona and am an active member of three clubs in the Phoenix area. However, I have family in Illinois in the Bradley, Bourbonnais, and Kankakee areas south of Chicago. I'm interested to know if there are local clubs nearby and/or Model T and Model A enthusiasts to contact. My wife and I may be spending more time here in the future and it would be great to make some connections. We are here now for the next few days. Thank you.

Check out the Midwest Chapter of MTFCI. A great group of people!

Russ Potter lived in Bismarck south of Kankakee. His son is taking over. Call Potters Piston Parlor and maybe they will have time for a visit, especially if you can see the old hardware store
