plenty of attention!
The
11 Ford Model T’s parked in a row at the north edge of the Tillman County
Courthouse parking lot drew a steady stream of visitors throughout the day.
The
cars’ owners were from locations throughout Oklahoma, Texas and Missouri. They
spent the day touring the Pioneer Townsite Museum, The Crawford Collection, the
Ramona Theatre, Hotel Frederick and the Grand Coffee Shop, and the World War II
Airborne Demonstration Team’s headquarters.
The Frederick Arts and Humanities
Council hosted lunch for them at the Lois Long Center.
At the museum they were fascinated by the story of the Abernathy boys and as old car enthusiasts, the historical society’s 1910 Brush Runabout was a particular point of interest.
