Sep. 28, 2018 2:16 pm
John Elliot sits in his 1913 car ready to begin Friday's (Sept. 28) drive as part of the Red Horseless Carraige Tour. Elliot purchased the vehicle in 1995. At the time, the vehicle did not run, but he fixed it up. Elliot's vehicle is the oldest in the tour.
Riding with Elliot is his dog Brandi. The two, along with the rest of the tour participants, are headed to Lake Geode. The tour continues Friday through New London, Lowell, Danville and then back to Mt. Pleasant. On Saturday, Sept. 29, the tour will go from New London to Brighton, starting and ending in Mt. Pleasant.
