Nell and Joe Kozmic of Lombard, Ill., stand next to their 1953 Ford Mercury on Sept. 28, when the Early Ford V-8 Club gathered at Mad Dan’s in Twin Lakes for lunch. Kozmic said he gets about 16 to 17 mph with his 59-year-old car.  The national club was organized in 1963 to celebrate Fords from 1932 through 1972. (Photo by Annette Newcomb)
