A Lawn Full of Beautiful, Historic Cars
Nearly 30 beautifully curated and restored Ford Model T’s and Model A’s will be on display at Willard.
“According to the Ford Motor Company [more than] 15 million Model Ts were built and sold between 1908 and 1927. The new Ford Model A was introduced in 1927 and was the company’s answer to a fast-changing market as well as the introduction of paved roads”, explains David Libbey of the Minuteman Model A Club. “As history shows, nearly 5 million Model As in nine body styles were produced and sold between 1927 and 1932.”

Participating Car Clubs:
• Minuteman Model A Ford Club
• Worcester County Model A Club
• Blackstone Valley Model A Ford Club
• Yankee IngenuiT’s
• Central Mass Model T Ford Club
Ford Model A’s Had A Clock Option

“The museum is always looking for a horological theme to its events,” says Robert Gierschick, Director of Development at Willard House & Clock Museum. “The Model A had a Ford-approved option of a clock integrated into the driver’s visor, so I guess we could say that time travels fast.”
