Texas T Party Day 4 Museum, Tractor Show, and Ratibor Country Grill

The final day of the 2021 Texas T Party had us driving our T’s from one place to another where it seems we always had something to eat. T people liked it – a lot.

At the driver’s meeting this morning in the portico of our hotel were two Model T’s that had been stolen the first day of the tour. They had been recovered by the Temple police department and returned to the owner. The runabout even went on today’s tour. Both T’s suffered some cosmetic damage.

The 2021 MTFCI Tour Day 2 Part 2

The car collection was incredible and we could have spent a day here. Unfortunately we only had a couple hours.

A group of cars in the upstairs garage near the house included (l – r) A 1953 Buick Roadmaster convertible, 1948 DeSoto convertible, 1950 Oldsmobile 88 convertible, and a ’32 Ford street rod coupe.
Downstairs a 1953 Stedebaker coupe was resplendent in a bright yellow. The chrome and trim was stunning on this car.
