1931 Ford Model A
The Leelanau Historical Society is the proud owner of this 1931 Ford Model A. Previously owned by Harold Kilcherman, the society received the news that Harold had bequeathed this beautiful classic car to the museum. To our surprise when we went to see this vehicle, it ran! Harold had worked on it himself in his barn in Northport, MI.
After a little maintenance we were able to take the Model A out for its first test drive. Staff and Board Members are excited to see this car out on Leelanau’s Roads. Look for us at various festivals and events in Leelanau this summer!
