Model A Sunday will run from 10 a.m. to 鈥渢wo or three in the afternoon,鈥� in front of the B.C. Farm Museum at 9131 King St., Nicolette said.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a great opportunity to see pre-1932 vehicles,鈥� Nicolette commented.
鈥淚t鈥檚 open to any vehicle [of that vintage]. We call it Model A Sunday because that鈥檚 what it started as, but it has evolved over the years.鈥�
While the Model A was easily the most popular car of that period, there were 80 different car manufacturers across North America prior to 1928, but most got wiped out when the Depression hit in 1929.
There will be food at the Sunday event, available from Fort 91原创 Lions Club, and entertainment by the Gibson and Cretsch combo.
鈥淚t鈥檚 just a fun afternoon too come to downtown Fort 91原创 and check out some vintage cars,鈥� Nicolette summarized.
