In a way we are all about remembering history around here at the John Locke Foundation.
Last week I had the opportunity to take a break from the policy process
in Raleigh and help preserve history in Williamsburg, Virginia.
Now you maybe thinking that I got to dress up in one of those colonial
outfits, no I just wore my Carhartt Overalls. The Model A Restores Club held their annual national meet in Williamsburg. The Model A is an automobile that shaped America, and it help Ford move away from that primitive auto: The Model T, it was becoming primitive by the late 1920s.
Antique Automobiles tell a story and you can actually see the machines that were once out on the road everyday. The Daily Press
in Hampton Roads, VA did a nice piece on the meet and it even encouraged
some to film the grand tour, which was held on the Colonial Parkway
from Jamestown to Yorktown.
