Each year the Ford/Fordson Collectors Association has it's annual meet in conjunction with an established tractor show in a different area. In 2000 it was held at the Indianapolis, Indiana UAW tractor and engine show. The annual F/FCA meet always has the largest turnout of Fords of any show in the country. This year's show had something for everyone. Following are some snapshots from Indy 2000.
