For those antique car
buffs out there, ft itiey'be
of interest to note that the
28th annual Greenfield
Village Old Car Festival
fe.atirring- Mcitta• than, 300
antique cars will be held
on September 9 and 10.
Greenfield- Village is
located in Dearborn,
Michigan.
Each day will include a
parade and frolicsome
competitions like hand -
cranking races. The
Wheelmen, the national
organization of antique
bicycle enthusiasts will
add to the turn -of -the
century atmosphere.
Cars built during the
period of 1918 through
1925 will be judged on
Saturday and those from
the period 1896 through
1917 will be judged
Sunday_ There will be a
pofliqu
ot
automobiles each day.
Special ceremonies will
be held Saturday to honor
recent donors of antique
cars to Henry Ford
Museum and Sunday to
commemorate the 75th
anniversary of the Ford
Motor Company. To
mark this anniversary as
well as the 50th an-.
niversary of the Model A,
eight examples of this
popular model will be
exhibited in the Village.
There will be two cars for
each year of the
automobile's production,
1928 - 31. In addition,
there will be an example
of the first Ford
production model.
Visitors can see the
four most recent
donations of automobiles
to Henry Ford Museum
on Saturday: a 1929
Packard Speedster
Roadster, a 1930 Ford
Phaeton, a 1956 Ford
Thunderbird and a 1963
Studebaker Avanti.
It should be quite a
sight for pampered
modern _motorists who
have never donned
dusters or goggles,
packed their bags on a
running board or sweet-
talked their cantankerous
machines up a steep
grade.
