On this day in 1908.....

[Brer_Papa]

....Henry Ford intoduced the Model T. They only came in black.

Well, as any that knows me knows.....I have been an enthusiast of Classic Cars and trucks forever. In fact, my next Classic Vehicle purchase will be a Model T pick-up truck.

I have looked at a few already, but haven't seen the one yet that I wanted to bring home.

One of the ones i looked at was in Ohio and had 2 of my grandchildren, Kara & Corey, with me. When they saw how narrow the seating area is in the truck....Kara asked "Papa, where are we going to sit?"

I replied..."In the back on a couch like Granny Clampett" They both said "WHO?"

We had to watch a few episodes of the "Beverly Hillbillies" when we got home to Erie....

Anyway, I believe this is a historic day...so...

<SIZE=4>HAPPY BIRTHDAY MODEL T!</SIZE>

This is, indeed, an historic day. The model T changed this country in many ways. Thanks for the reminder!

Very neat, and historical, BP. Thanks. I always want to get a '32 5 window B, maybe some day. And nice to see you too, BP.
