Ford Model T turns 100

Email Subj: RE: Fwd: Fw: FORD MODEL T TURNS 100: CENTENNIAL CELEBRATIONS UNDERWAY
Thanks Bert, but I can't open .eml attachments, so ...
I took Mr. lacocca to the Nethercutt Museum last Wednesday for a pre-arranged VIP tour. Jack and Helen Nethercutt accompanied us on the cycle and treated us to a VIP lunch. Really nice day. I had been trying to get him to go for over a year and it finally worked into his schedule. He had never even heard of it!! He was totally impressed - who wouldn't be - and vows to return. I had them play the big Wurlitzer and he really enjoyed that too. Trying to arrange a photo shoot in the next several weeks with him and Shelby and my first car for a Mustang Monthly 45th Mustang Anniv issue for next year. Should be fun if I can get them together. They already agreed, just need to set up a time.

Summer's about here - car shows galore!
Best,
Bob


Editor's Comment: Bob Fria - a former CTCC member - is the proud owner of the first production 1965 Mustang Hardtop S/N: 100002.
Bob and his wife Joyce now live in California. We toured the magnificent Nethercutt Museum when visiting the Fria's in 2003. By sheer coincidence, Jim and Sally Schmidt from Gainesville, FL happened to be on the tour at the same time of our visit. Bob has met with Lee lacocca on several occasions - for photo shoots with Bob's "Number 1" Hardtop Pony car! Bob's Mustang was on display at Ford's 100th Anniversary in '03.
