Over 100 Model T's Showcased In Springfield

Driving around parts of the Ozarks this week, it may look like you're taking a step back in time.

That's because there's more than 100 Model T Fords driving through the backroads.

A group called the "Heart of the Ozarks Model T Club" put together this tour that's brought out Model T's from 28 states and Canada.

The Model T is known as the first affordable car and quickly became the best-selling car.

Now almost 100 years later, collectors say events like this help to keep the car's legacy alive.

Event organizer Kay Gemmill says, "it's important because these cars are some of the first and they all have terrific style and uniquenss about them."

If you'd like to see some of these Model T's, head over to the Hawthorn Park Hotel from 4:00p.m. to 8:00p.m. each day this week.
