Silver State Model T Ford Club at Dangberg Historic Park
Saturday, August 14, at 10:00 am, the Silver State Model T Ford Club will present “The Car That Changed the World” at the Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park.
The Model T Ford was produced from 1909 to 1927 during which time over 15 million cars rolled off Ford's production lines. It is generally regarded as the first affordable automobile, which made car travel available to middle-class Americans. The relatively low price was partly the result of Ford's efficient fabrication, including assembly line production instead of individual handcrafting. Because of the profound impact that the Model T Ford had on society, the love that people around the world had for the cars survives to this day.
The Silver State Model T Ford Club was founded in 1989 with a mission to encourage the restoration and preservation of Model T Ford cars and trucks. Club members drive and restore cars, and participate in driving tours, technical seminars, and events such as parades and car-shows. Members range in age from 17 to 90 plus years old.
The club’s presentation will highlight the history and impact of the Model T Ford around the world, and will also provide the audience an opportunity to experience up close, several of these remarkable cars that were built over 100 years ago. This event is free to the public.
Please bring your own seating and no pets allowed - service animals only. Guests are welcome to bring a picnic to enjoy as no food or beverages will be sold at this event. All events are held outdoors.
