"They worked for more than a month, I believe, to bring in artifacts, signage, a 1925 Dodge through our loading dock — which is quite the feat! They worked to make sure the mementos and pieces of equipment that should light up, did. They were meticulous in trying to really showcase their organization. I think they did that very well." (Courtesy Photo) own a 1929 Ford Model A Sedan, 1930 Ford Model A Closed Cab Pickup (near complete restoration), 1939 Oldsmobile 4 Door Sedan (60 Series), 1964 Dodge Step Side Pickup (originally owned by Valorie's dad), 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible, 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe, "and various other project vehicles." The exhibit, they agree, was an "opportunity to share our club enthusiasm and love for the antique automobiles with others. We want to show the progression of the automobiles over the years." They hope, they add, "our car show will spark an interest in visitors to become a vital part of our club by helping preserve the antique automobiles for future generations." The exhibit will feature an unrestored original 1925 Dodge Brothers Touring Car, a 1932 restored Chevrolet six-cylinder engine loaned by Hug Chevrolet, an original 1962 club sign, two vintage gas pumps, grills from early Ford vehicles, vintage auto signs, tools and other vintage auto memorabilia, Speir says. "We have six antique vehicles in the museum," she adds, including a 1920s buckboard wagon from the Lorenz & Vaughn Wagon Co., a 1908 Buick, a 1910 Telephone Utility Truck, a turn-of-the century doctor's buggy, an early teens Model T, an 1898 Electric car donated by Mrs. Mardell McClurkin, and Fort Smith's first fire engine, the 1911 J.J. Little. "'60 Years On The Road' is a great compliment to the vehicles we already have on display, and it's a wonderful teaching exhibition in general," Speir enthuses. "Plus, the working auto signs and other memorabilia are really something to see!"
