Members of the Model T Ford International Club want to show off their vintage vehicles in Ubly.
The Ubly Village Council approved closing off Main Street from Park Street to Pike Street from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., on Aug. 28, to accommodate for safe viewing of the vehicles.
The event is expected to draw between 75 to 100 Model T’s.
The Model T Ford Club was founded in December of 1952 in Chicago, Illinois.
Henry Ford built his first experimental car in a workshop behind his home in Detroit in 1896. After formation of the Ford Motor Company, the first Ford car was assembled at the Mack Avenue plant in July 1903. Then five years later, in 1908, the highly successful Model T was introduced.

POPLARVILLE, Miss. (WDAM) - There’s still magic in the “championship mustards.”
Wearing their golden pants Sunday, the No. 3 Pearl River baseball Wildcats walked off visiting Northeast in Game 1, 13-5, in seven innings to clinch the program’s fourth MACCC Championship. In the night cap, PRCC scored early and held on late to tame the Tigers 8-6.
“I’m proud of them. It doesn’t hit you until right now. How tough what we did all year was. How tough this year was on us and how special that group behind me is,” Pearl River coach Michael Avalon said. “We came out and swung the bats. They had their best guy on the mound and I knew we would have to battle. I was kind of glad that we were trailing because you saw the heart of a champion when they battled back.
