Did you know that the last production of the Model T was on 5/26/1927. Information courtesy of Vice President Vaughn Rockafellow.
Congratulations to our very own Jessica Lance on her recent graduation. She now has a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration aka BSBA.
Because several members are having a tough time getting gaskets, Kim Housholder has informed us that she is working on getting a list of vendors for us. Apparently, the die to make the gaskets is worn out and pretty pricy to obtain another.
Have you notice that Snyders is not carrying some of the items previously listed in their catalog i.e., hood shelves, wheel and rim but most disheartening is the as with everything else, prices are increasing.
The movie that a few Tin Lizzies were involved in a few years ago in Canyon de Chelly is now finished. Thank you Coerte Voorhees (joined the Tin Lizzies) who with Paul Beck saw the viewing in Tucson and is now looking for a few Model T’s for a project is Telluride.
