T Fords of Texas
2025 Spring Tour
Five Days : Kingsbury to Port Lavaca


The T Fords of Texas, the San Antonio Ford model T club, spring tour was run on a different plan from previous years. We wanted to do something epic to celebrate our 5oth anniversary. This was what is called a progressive tour. Instead of being based in one town, we moved on from place to place, in a big circle. We peaked with eleven Ford Model Ts. Altogether we drove close to 400 miles.
