Largest Model T' tour in history of club From Page 12 . One owner from the Chicago area said Port Perry was beautiful, the main street so clean and attrac- tive. "You'd have to drive a long way out of Chicago to find a town like this," he said. This year is the largest Tour for the Club since it started 34 years ago. Mr. Potter said the Tour moves around to different locations each year, and in 1991 it will be in Ala- bama. One year, the Tour was a cross- country affair, some 3600 miles from New York to Seattle. Many of the owners are Ameri- can, from states like Michigan, Ohio, New Hampshire, New York, Indiana and Vermont. Many trailered their Model T's to the Tour in North York, but a few drove the entire way from their homes. While on tour, Mr. Potter said breakdowns and mechanical prob- lems are fairly common. But when a car breaks down, the Club members look on it as a challenge to get it fixed and back on the road as soon as possible. "We have lots of spare parts with us, and if necessary, we'll do a major repair like a crank-case or even replace a motor," said Mr. Pot- ter. That's part of the challenge of owning and drivingone. While the Model T's give the Club members something in com- mon, Mr. Potter said the real bond is the people, the friendships that are made. And he said Model T owners come from all walks of life and are of all ages. There was one "outsider" among all the Fords. The OPP "escort" car was a 1941 cruiser, a Chevy coupe, of all things. It has to be a Chevy, 'cause it's the only thing that can catch a Ford, chuckled the OPP officer on duty for this special event. Ea a ep Lr REE soma ----r ne
