Ford Model T Donation to Noble & Cooley Center for Historic Preservation
On November 15, 2021 the Noble & Cooley Center for Historic Preservation (NCCHP) in Granville, MA. was the recipient of a most generous donation made by Mr. Wilson Rider of Granville. Mr. and Mrs. Rider owned this Model T Ford for many years and enjoyed it on tours with the area Model T club, as well as "Sunday drives" around the Granville area. Their longest trip in the T was a round-trip to Orange, Ma.
The Model T is shown here with Mr. Rider and Matt Jones, President of NCCHP. Mr. Rider commented that he is pleased that the Model T will be staying in Granville, and hopes to see it in future local parades. NCCHP is most grateful for this kind donation.
Granville and NCCHP thank you, Wilson Rider!
