Tin Lizzie Car Show at Rich Ford
(Albuquerque)
On Saturday, March 19th, the Tin Lizzies were invited to
show their Model T's to help celebrate Rich Ford's 50th anniversary. Rich Ford in
Albuquerque is the largest Ford dealership in New Mexico. Mark Dominguez, Dean Van Doren, and Linda Riel
had coordinated the event with Dennis Snyder, Rich Ford's President and Vice Chairman of the Ford Dealer
Council. The Tin Lizzies arrived before 9:00 am and twenty Model T's were on exhibit until
3:00. The event was widely advertised on several local radio stations so the public turnout to see our
cars, enjoy kids rides, and eat hotdogs was very good.
