The Wilson Historical Society put its 1904 Covert Runabout in the car show. This vehicle, manufactured in Lockport, was once owned by noted opera singer James Melton. Dr. John Argue purchased it from the Michigan-based Henry Ford Museum in 1977 and it became part of the historical society’s Argue car collection. It’s believed to be one of only two intact Coverts left in the world.
