As the years tick past, those who know what a rumble seat is diminishes. Plows pulled by horses? Some wonder if that ever actually happened.

Rediscover the history of farming and cars together at Model A Sunday on June 7 at the BC Farm Museum at 9131 King St. in Fort 91原创 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The museum houses the province芒鈧劉s largest collection of agricultural and pioneer artifacts. From the kitchen to the fields, getting around to getting it done, there is no more diverse illustration of how B.C.芒鈧劉s pioneers used to manage their days and their lives.

Coupled with that collection on Sunday will be cars from 1932 and older lining King Street, according to Model A Sunday organizers Mike McVay and Noel Cleveland.

芒鈧揑f it芒鈧劉s a nice day, we芒鈧劉re going to get a lot of people,芒鈧 said McVay.

Last year was a well attended event with about 55 cars and approximately 250 visitors.

芒鈧揥e芒鈧劉re hoping for some real antique cars,芒鈧 McVay added, noting that anything from 1932 and older is welcome to enter in the show.

芒鈧揃ring it on down,芒鈧 he said, including those cars that have been modified or turned into hotrods.

It芒鈧劉s the 27th year for the show, and Cleveland noted it芒鈧劉s an important event because it芒鈧劉s one of the few focused on the older cars.

芒鈧揥e try and attract people to come and see it [Model A Sunday] and see the museum,芒鈧 Cleveland said.

芒鈧揥e use the whole street, sometimes both sides,芒鈧 he added.

This year, organizers are hoping to see members of the steam car club join in and expect cars as old as 1910s and 1912s to be on display.

芒鈧揟here芒鈧劉s always a few hotrods,芒鈧 commented Cleveland.

There will be hamburgers and smokies for sale by the Fort 91原创 Lions club.
