Golf cars have long history in Sun Cities

An attempt in 2009 to find the oldest golf car in Sun City led to two additions to the Del Webb Sun Cities Museum.

Both are 3-wheelers — the most common type in the 1960s. They sit in the carport at the museum and offer a popular photo op for visitors.

The “His” and “Hers” decals reflect the movie shown in the museum’s theater, “The Beginning.” In it, a retiree in a northern state relishes his new freedom — until snow cuts off his ability to golf and to garden. His wife comes to the rescue, suggesting they visit friends who moved to a place in Arizona called “Sun City.”
