Your eyes aren’t deceiving you. Horseless carriages have been touring Beaufort County
A group of antique cars built prior to 1927 have been making their way through Beaufort County this week as their owners take in everything the area has to offer.
The Horseless Carriage Club’s North Carolina chapter started exploring Beaufort County this past weekend and will continue driving around in a group through Friday, Ben Hindman, a member of the organization said.
The vehicles, including Model Ts, Buicks and Cadillacs, are not in town for a car show, but here so that antique car owners can share their passion and travel together, said Hindman, who lives in Beaufort.
“We are a driving group,” Hindman said. “We like to drive and like to go see the sights.”
The local chapter which has members throughout the East Coast, gets together annually and this year happened to be Beaufort County, Hindman said.
While there is not a particular place for you to catch sight of the cars, you might want to keep an eye out for them on Fripp Island on Thursday and in Old Town Bluffton around lunchtime Friday.
