         The life and times of Mark and Paula Persons
Thursday, June 18, 2015:  There was a gathering of Ford Model T car owners it the old paper mill in Brainerd.
 
Paula was immediately attracted to this yellow open runabout from 1911.  It is owned by Chuck Burton of Brainerd.
 
This 1915 Model T is owned by Homer Cronquist of Brainerd.  It is 100 years old.  Homer won't say how old he is.
 
Mark liked this truck.  Made just 95 years ago, it is still in good running condition. 
 
Just one thing though, there were no electric starters back then.  Yes, cars were hand cranked.   My how things have changed.
Quote of the day:    Paula and I like Ford.  It is a good American company.  Mark    < Back to previous story Ahead to next story >
