Become a Member

Now is the time to become a member !! If you are a Model A Ford owner, or just thinking about becoming an owner we would welcome you into our club. We are always happy to talk about Model A's, give advice about Model A's (sometimes competing advice too -- its free you know!) to anybody that wants to listen. Dues are only $20 per year and you get to meet a bunch of nice people. Heck you can even come to our meetings and forget about the dues! We are an active club organizing tours from the day trip to the extended tour (i.e. Blue Ridge Parkway, MARC National meets etc.).
There's no excuse to not have fun!

Day 8 of Ole Southwest Tour - Bob & Geri

We managed to make it up and down with 156 sharp turns. I don't think pictures will turn out good because of the haze. Up early tomorrow for another long day. We are off for the Royal Gorge Bridge. The bridge has been closed for a long time to cars but our tour leader has arranged for our model A's to drive across stop on the bridge for pictures and then drive back across. Their are also Gondola cars crossing the gorge for us. Then we have to travel fast because we have to get over the Monarch Pass.  Over 11,000 ft. crossing the continental divide.  Destination:  Montrose, Colorado. We may hit snow on this trip. Now, we are "flatlanders" so some of this is a bit scary because there are very few guard rails and you can look a long, long way down. A truck threw up a large rock today and cracked our windshield. Two other Model A's barely missed being hit by an 18 wheeler as it turned over in front of them going too fast in a curve.  Bob & Geri
