Jim Skelly Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 (edited) This Mason was made in Iowa but there was no placard displayed. According to Wikipedia, the car was made between 1906 and 1914. The brass badge above the radiator indicates: Mason The Hill Climber Edited September 11 by Jim Skelly (see edit history) 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Skelly Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 (edited) As a bonus, here's an unrestored 1927 Packard. The upholstery is original and has a few small moth holes. It is extremely well preserved. Edited September 11 by Jim Skelly (see edit history) 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Skelly Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 That's all of the car and truck photos I am posting. I would say half of the cars at the show were Model Ts and Model As. Many of them were very nice but I wanted to highlight the unusual cars and trucks. 7 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne sheldon Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Thank you so very much! I spent at least an hour enjoying your (and others') photos of this years OCF. And I will likely look through them again. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motoringicons Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 (edited) It is great to see the 1916-1932 "odd ball" cars that are rarely shown. They are appreciated. Edited September 12 by motoringicons (see edit history) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Skelly Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Here is last year's show if anyone missed my posting: I didn't shoot some of the cars that were at the 2024 show since they are included here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 It was a great weekend. There were over 700 vehicles registered for the event 1932 and older. If you have never been to the Old Car Festival you need to understand that it is not just a car show. It is an experience/event. It is the only time that owners of private vehicles are allowed to drive their cars in the village. Five of us put on a two day HCCA tour the Thursday and Friday before the weekend called the Lansing-Dearborn reliability tour for 1915 and older cars only. This year we had about 50 cars and 140 participants including eight Stanley Steamers. A great time was had by all. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Dobbin Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 (edited) I'm sure glad to see that the really old cars till have a place to go and have fun with other really old cars. Many local shows have everything from a Model A Ford to a new 700 HP factory hot rod. It's just not the same. Makes me want another car that's over 90 years old while wishing I see being over 90 myself. My mother made it, but my father didn't. I still regret selling my 1915 Model T and trading my 1915 Grant, (which were both built a year after my father's birth.) Thanks to all who took the time to take the pictures and share them Edited September 14 by Paul Dobbin Re-position text (see edit history) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHa Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Surely someone took pictures of the early race cars in attendance. There were supposed to be several Buicks. Regarding the picture of the National, surely the race car chassis' were cut down. That thing looks too long to build a race car on that chassis. I noticed the number 1 Locomobile, recently restored by the Dragons, looks longer than old sixteen. Optical illusion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Thanks for sharing all the photos. I've been in the past. Maybe I'll be back with the Chartreuse Lady again next year. I agree with Larry that it is an experience, and one of the best car gatherings I have ever been to. A must on the Bucket list of any antique car guy.

It is the only time that owners of private vehicles are allowed to drive their cars in the village. I remember in the 70's and 80's the Model A & T Clubs had meets there and drove in the Village. In 1993, The Great American Race went there for lunch in the Museum and we drove are cars right in front of the Henry Ford Museum. While we were eating, the ESPN crew installed a big camera in the back seat of our 1935 Chrysler Airflow. That afternoon's film footage became the comic relief for the ESPN TV special for the 1993 Race. We brought about 120 antique cars right into the village.
