Collector displays antique Blandinsville car collection at Great Grate Place
Martin Calvert, curator of informal museums, showcases a 1914 Carter car with friction drive and two other vintage vehicles at his Blandinsville site. He recalls buying the Carter in Mount Pleasant around 1975 after the previous owner had it running, and notes the return journey home was harrowing due to its two wheel mechanical brakes. Calvert’s collection also includes 1927 Ford Model T and 1929 Ford Model A trucks, plus a second Model A owned by his cousin, Jeff Broadhead.
