I have terminated the pending sale of my 1910. The buyer took too long to come here to pick it up and settle. So I am going to keep it after now 79 years and as long as I have two feet of solid earth it will be in our garage. I bought it when I was 14 and I will be 94 on June 21 this coming year. That will be my 80th year with my beloved T. I will have an open house on that day and the T will be all shined up and on display.

That’s great news!

Sounds as though the car is staying where it belongs Darel.
I hope you have many more enjoyable trips with it.

I am very glad you are keeping the car. Very few people in the model t community can say they've owned a single car has long as you have.

Can I ask where the car is located?

Darel resides in Minnesota.

Was this car originally from Chester, Nebraska?

Darel's car is not from Nebraska.

From the factory, it was originally delivered to the C. S. Adams Automobile dealership in Elgin, Ill.

By the mid-1930s, it had made its way to Minneapolis and was owned by the Minneapolis Pure Oil Company.

In September 1946, Darel purchased it from the Minneapolis Pure Oil Company - he was fourteen years old at the time.

I love HAPPY endings. Need to send a picture of You and Your new car when You bought it at 14 and a recent one now to Vintage ford. Might make the cover. You both deserve it. Good Luck !

I would dearly love to see some pictures. An amazing feat Sir to own a car that long, will likely be never repeated.
