In August 1953, as Woodstock celebrated Old Home Week, local resident and automobile enthusiast W. Murray Clark shared the story of his treasured 1909 Ford Model T Touring Car—a vehicle that had already become a piece of history. Written with humor, pride, and firsthand knowledge, Clark’s article offers more than a description of an antique automobile; it captures what the Model T meant to rural America. From its original $950 price tag and gas-powered headlights to the colorful nicknames and memorable quirks that made it famous, Clark brings the “Tin Lizzie” to life for a new generation. Best of all, the very car he describes had been lovingly restored by Clark himself, making this article both a celebration of automotive history and a personal tribute to one family’s remarkable automobile.
