On Sunday, June 5, the will take over the road in front of the B.C. Farm Museum in Fort 91原创 to hold their first Model A Sunday in more than two years.
Organizer Mike McVay, of Aldergrove, said a shortage of parking, due to construction activity, has been partially overcome thanks to historic Fort 91原创, located near the museum, allowing cars to access their parking lot.
鈥淭he Fort was very accommodating,鈥� a grateful McVay says.
That will add 16 potential spaces to the 24 available for pre-1932 vehicles at the farm museum.
Club president Frank Nicolette was expecting a surge in visitors, based on the record numbers experienced by other car-related events in 91原创, something he attributes to a combination of pent-up demand, as well as good weather conditions.
鈥淭he most recent shows have been really popular,鈥� Nicolette says.
Model A Sunday will run from 10 a.m. to 鈥渢wo or three in the afternoon,鈥� in front of the at 9131 King St.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a great opportunity to see pre-1932 vehicles,鈥� Nicolette says. 鈥淚t鈥檚 open to any vehicle (of that vintage). We call it Model A Sunday because that鈥檚 what it started as, but it has evolved over the years.鈥�
While the Model A was easily the most popular car of that period, there were 80 different car manufacturers across North America prior to 1928, but most got wiped out when the Depression hit in 1929.
There will be food at the Sunday event, available from Fort 91原创 Lions Club, and entertainment by the Gibson and Cretsch combo.
鈥淚t鈥檚 just a fun afternoon to come to downtown Fort 91原创 and check out some vintage cars,鈥� Nicolette says.
Next up for area car fans is the Sunday, June 12 鈥淧ontiac Perfection鈥� show at KMS tools on the 91原创 Bypass. Organized by Pacific Performance Pontiac Car Club, the show and shine is open to all Pontiac, GMC, Buick and Oldsmobile vehicles.
