Eight Model A's drove onto the Virginia Turnpike at a few minutes past 9 am and parked near the gate next to Kneebone Cemetery. This cheerful group toured the Bridgeport area until 11 am and then continued on for lunch. |

The Kneebone Cemetery is privately owned and still cared for by Kneebone descendents. |
Then the cars drove to the barn. I was lucky enough to get a ride and take this shot. |
With only eight cars, they were able to line up at the barn for a photo shoot. |
All eight cars were beautiful. |
