Vintage Vehicles in Everglades City

Antique Ford Model-A cars and trucks visited Everglades City on Saturday, January 21, for lunch at the famous Rod and Gun Club followed by a private guided tour of the old Bank of Everglades Building. Some of the vehicles drove from Fort Myers on the Tamiami Trail which is about the same age (1928) as their beloved conveyances. The Bank itself is slightly older, dating from 1927.

The outing was hosted by the Everglades Society for Historic Preservation which is renovating the historic building so it can become a Visitor Center, Trail Town Headquarters, and Community Gathering Place with galleries for shows by local artists.
