Today's is the official start of 'Hershey', world's largest autojumble: the 2015 AACA Eastern Regional Fall Meet in Hershey, Pennsylvania. If you can't find your US parts there, then you better forget. If you want a Model T, a cheap Model T, you're here at the right spot. Well outside Model T, Model A and more, you can expect to find about anything at Hershey.
There's just one thing that has always surprised us. When you go buy new parts for your Model T an awful lot of those parts are marked with a small sticker saying 'Made in China'. It is our opinion that's something you American T-lovers can't a-ford. Forget for once the old saying a dime saved is a dime earned and bring back the Model T parts production back to Dearborn - or if you like to get things from far - bring it to Neah Bay, Washington or Brownsville, Texas. Just roll up your sleeves and make your Model T parts in the US! We would T-hink T-hat's a ma-TT-er of pride.
Learn from Ward Underwood age 12 who built his CANT-A-FORD DD (Donkey Drive) one hundred years ago. Hershey started back in 1955 and now is celebrating its 60th edition. Isn't that great timing for a T-urn around? Don't think the Chinese are out of work if you do so. They have their hands full producing Harley Davidson stuff...
