Old Car Collectors Keep Alive South’s Model Ford Heritage
Charles and Kenneth Coulter of Maryville Tennessee have rebuilt a large private collection of old Fords and other vehicles, traveling 10 000 miles to gather memories. Their open air plans cover T models 1908 to 1927 with a goal to restore each flivver while preserving stories of owners. A restored 1909 model once sold for 850 dollars now commands higher value as a hobbyist museum piece. One wrecked car carries a daughter's memory, its owner choosing restoration to honour her instead of selling out.
