Default Old Car Festival at The Henry Ford

Anyone attending the Old Car Festival in September in Dearborn?

I'm going to be there with two model T's this year. I don't live very close so I cannot go every year. Plan to go again in'28 for my Model A's 100th birthday.

See you there?

Rich

I Plan on being there. My registration is still awaiting approvals as of today. I am usually up by the house by the lake with the bridge. This will be my third year there. Can't wait!

Yes Rich, we received our registration confirmations on Monday and are planning to be there again with my 1909 and 1914.

Prior to the OCF, we are signed up for the Lansing Run which is held on Thur & Fri and is always fun.

FWIW, the Model-T Forum guys are going to have a 'meet & greet' around 4PM on Saturday down by the car games. Maybe we can do something similar for us 'barners??

One final thing, not sure how you will be doing on time, but they generally allow free admission to the HF Museum on the Monday following OCF with your armbands.

alexiskai, If you there visiting without a car, I would be happy to give you and your tribe a ride around the park if you like. They normally place the '22 and '23's kinda out of the way down by the Suwannee landing/lagoon. It will be me or my son driving the cars. Come by or flag us down. I can't believe there will be many cars with Colorado plates there so you should be able to find us.

Registration has closed for the 2025 show. It usually fills up fast so it is best to keep an eye on the Henry Ford's events website in the spring to see when the application process opens.

It is a must see event for everybody in the old car hobby.

Brent, Pick a Time and a place in the village. I will be there on Saturday and Sunday. I am usually up from the little lake with the covered bridge.

Of those attending OCF, who will NOT be there on Sunday? Maybe we can have a quick meet & greet sometime on Sunday morning??

I don't know a place to park multiple cars with everyone set up other than Walnut Grove Field. Why not there by the bleachers at say Sunday, 10:00AM?

Works for everyone? At least most?
