Attendees flocked to the 2018 Antique Caterpillar Machine Owners Club (ACMOC) National Show Oct. 26 through 28 in San Antonio, Texas.
The event took place where it all began for Caterpillar at HOLT CAT.
"Benjamin Holt is our great-great grandfather, so we are the fifth generation of the Holt family in the Caterpillar business," said Corinna Holt Richter, president and chief administrative officer of HOLT CAT. "Benjamin, in 1904, invented the first track type tractor that is now known as the Caterpillar. Since then the family business has evolved into the Caterpillar dealership of HOLT CAT today that is based in San Antonio."
Among the many fun activities over the course of the three-day ACMOC event included an antique equipment display, a machine demo area, merchandise, food & entertainment and a daily machine parade. This included a wooden model Holt Manufacturing combine from 1910 and a Cat Experimental 20 from the 1927 World's Fair.
