The Ford Barn

Skibb · 02-04-2015, 10:30 PM

This is a fun event this Saturday in Ft Myers, Florida. And it's an all Ford show with 170 classic and antique cars. From 10 am to 2 pm with sunny skies and a dozen or so Model A's. In the past we have driven across the state in our A's but this year we're trailering. The location is unique in that Henry moved there in 1916 to be next to his buddy Mr Edison. Hope to find a couple of Ford Barners there.

Heartedly agree.... One of us making the trip has a medical issue; thus, the trailer option.

That's fantastic. I hope someone will post some photos of the event. My wife and I visited the Edison/Ford winter homes a few years ago. It was a great experience to see the homes, the museum and the vegetation the Edison experimented with. Have a great time.

Burner, I believe that expression "half the fun is getting there". It's true for our hobby.
