Antique 1916 Reo Speedster Visits Mount Dora on Tour
More than 75 antique cars will visit Mount Dora for the 1974 Florida Region Antique and Classic Spring Tour of the Antique Automobile Club of America with the 1916 Reo Speedster owned by Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Wooldridge of Largo driving it to the event. In Mount Dora council, zoning concerns prompted a motion to deny use of an Assembly of God chapel due to inadequate off street parking and storm drainage. Mayor Champion urged the Rev Spurlock to attend services next Sunday, as council debates continued with a final decision set after a May 2 meeting.
