Howdy Wayne,
I was one of three people that started the Cen Tex Tin Lizzies nearly 40 years ago in Austin. Google it. I am no longer a member. I live on a farm about 25 miles south of Austin and would selfishly like nothing better than to have a Model T hobbiest relocate to Caldwell County. Lots of folks are ‘evacuating’ Austin due to high taxes and the mayor’s desire to make his town look just like San Francisco. Email me if I may help in any way. ...gwhouse731@gmail.com
I don’t know why I turned out this way. My parents were decent people 🤪

Wayne,
Glad to hear you are thinking of moving to the Austin area! The CenTex Tin Lizzies has a membership of 35 to 40 families. Like George, I too am one of the three remaining original members of the club. Many have passed or moved away but the club is still active. We meet at 7 pm, the third Tuesday, monthly at the Catfish Parlor, located at 4705 E. Ben White Blvd., Austin Texas 78744. Please come by and check us out.

Our website is: https://www.centextinlizzies.org/index.html
Send me an email via our website and I will contact you.
Randy Brown, Webmaster

Wayne,
You just missed a good Texas T-Party.
Next year it is going to be in Temple.
Hope to see you there.
We have T's from other states as well from another country.
Drive, Eat, and Repeat.
