We are a newer Model T Ford Chapter, organized in September, 2009.
Some information about, and specifications of, the pre-WW1 Model T Ford: click here
Club members are a diverse group from all over the USA and beyond. Many are expert in repairing and maintaining antique vehicles and all are willing to assist fellow collectors.
The Villages is the center of our area which includes Lake, Marion and Sumter Counties. Nearby cities and towns include Lady Lake, Fruitland Park, Summerfield, Leesburg, Wildwood, Belleview, Weirsdale, Umatilla, Tavares and Ocala, to name a few.
We are about an 1 hour and 15 minute drive north of the Orlando International Airport (or 1 hour and 20 minutes north of Tampa International) in a modern car. These drives take a bit longer in a Model T.
We meet at Perkins Restaurant, 4110 Wedgewood Lane, The Villages, FL, 32162, on the first Tuesday of each month. Dinner (optional) is at 6:00 PM, Business meeting at 7:00 PM. We love to see vintage cars parked outside. Check the "Events" area of this website for meeting specifics.
Our Club is affiliated with both the Model T Ford Club of America (MTFCA), and/or the Model T Ford Club International (MTFCI). For insurance purposes, Club members must belong to one or both organizations. Applications to join these organizations may be found on their websites (click logos for more information).
Having problems opening Microsoft Word, Powerpoint or Excel files in this website or other places? Download free viewers which permit you to read various Microsoft products. Downloads will take a while, but will be worth it. Here are the most common programs. They will permit you to read and print information you receive from other computer users in any of these programs through the latest version of MS Office 2010. You can usually copy and paste into your non-Microsoft programs, too. Click on the program you want to download:
Word: Views most documents you receive.
Excel: Views most spreadsheets you receive.
PowerPoint: A lot of emails have slideshows attached - similar to utube. This will allow you to view documents with a .ppt and .pps file extensions.
These 3 viewers will handle 90% of the Microsoft items you receive from others. For other viewer programs that you might need later, Google Microsoft download center. For example if you want to read information written in MS Access (not likely): “download Microsoft Access viewer 2010”
if you want to write in, or edit any of these programs, you’ll have to buy the latest version of MS Office or MS Word - as the message in your computer will tell you. I’d recommend you try the free viewers for awhile. That should be sufficient for your needs. If you eventually decide to buy Microsoft Office (has all of these programs bundled together), ask for the “Student Edition,” as it is sufficiently powerful and much cheaper.
