San Antonio
1920 Touring, 1923 Farm Pick-Up, 1923 Coupe

Following a twenty year stint in the air force in aircraft maintenance, Don turned to the idiosyncracies of the Model T when it became time to hang up his pilot's cap after a lifetime of fun and adventures in the sky. Like many of us he is intrigued by the seeming simplicity of the T's engineering and yet how capricious it can be. We've all marveled how just the slightest nudge of the spark advance or a tiny carburetor adjustment can transform a Model T from a bucking bronco to a willing work horse. Don has had his farm truck for four years, of which it took three years to restore. He recently embarked upon a similar project to "rescue" a 1923 Coupe. Judging by the farm pick-up, it will be spectacular when it is finished.
