Great Gatsby Gala Ball - Model T Ford Indoors!
Posted: Mon Nov 17, 2025 4:27 am
So the coolest thing happened a few months ago. I was formally invited to attend a local Great Gatsby Gala Ball. 
The coolest part - I was specifically asked if I would put my Model T on display in the foyer of the Club where this is to be held. This will be the first time my Model T has been indoors, aside from the shed she lives in normally - and now hundreds of people will be able to appreciate her 1920's charm.
So, I could hardly show up to a Gatsby themed Gala Ball in just my jeans and a t-shirt, So I spashed out on a tuxedo, some cotton gloves and a period gentleman's walking cane (for looks only!!)
So stay tuned, I will endeavor to put together a video of the event!
In the meantime, here's a short video, outlining the small "modification" I made to my Model T, to attach a temporary "portable oil tray", so the venue doesn't end up with jet black oil all over their nice new carpet!!
