1923 Roadster

Bought this yesterday. When we saw this at a car show yesterday, I told my friends of my childhood memories of riding in one just like it with my now deceased uncle. It was not for sale. The guy had it at the show looking for parts. We bumped into the owner and I told him of skinning my knees jumping off the running board. He asked my name and everything fell together. This was my uncle's car. It has been stored in a barn for almost 50 years.

Any Model T fans here? I need some restoration resources/books/contacts.

Nice to see the little T come back to the family!

This is the one that actually belonged to your uncle?? Wow! What are the odds of that?
Should be great fun for you to get it restored.

Very cool being able to get the same car back

Where was the show ?


Should be plenty of T info on the web and YouTube


Get it drivable safely and do not change the body or paint
Keep the patina and rust , although Ts and As didn’t rust as much as modern cars do

I know there’s a club that does a horseless carriage ride for a week every summer in north GA
I saw em when They were riding backroads around Blairsville and Murphy

They arranged a rest stop about every hour

The show was in Toccoa GA at a auto museum called Miles Through Time. There were about 100 cars at the show.

A little progress snapshot. Anyone have a set of 21" Split Rims?

This is a great story. Please keep it original. My cousin had a pickup we used to ride on back in the 1950,s. Great memories.
