Follow us as the Model A Ford Club of Colorado takes on social distancing in style

An Update from the President:
For a summary of club plans through June, see Jim Huff's update on the Events page. Drive-by Requests: The club has received two requests for drive-bys. The first is on Tuesday, May 26 for an 18 year old autistic boy graduating from Overland High School in Aurora who is obsessed with vintage vehicles. He would like to lead the parade in a vintage car. I have told his aunt this might be difficult with social distancing, but I would ask if anyone would be comfortable driving him or participating in the parade (I do not know the time yet). The second is for a birthday drive-by for a 16 year old autistic boy who has a love of Model Ts and Model As. This would be Thursday, June 11 in Littleton at 3:00 pm. If anyone is interested in participating in either event, please call Jim Huff (by Sunday night, May 24 for the first one, and by Friday, May 29 for the second one).
Recall Notice: Harbor Freight announced a recall of 6 ton and 3 ton jack stands produced between 2013 and 2019. There is a concern that they could collapse with a weight shift. They can be identified by the number on the label on the stand. 3 ton numbers 56371 and 61196, 6 ton number 61197. They can be returned to Harbor Freight for a store credit. Stay safe!
Congratulations to newly-retired Donna Ewing

MAY 31st, 4:00 pm BIRTHDAY DRIVE-BY (the more the merrier) for World War II Vet Dale Rath’s 95th Birthday! He was a Paratrooper in WWII. If you can help us celebrate with Dale that would be awesome, and Dale would be so happy and surprised. Dale will be outside in his front yard enjoying a surprise drive-by! Dale is the neighbor of Kim Ursetta’s sister. Matt and Kim Ursetta will head the parade to Dale’s house. If you would like to decorate your cars with red, white, and blue decorations or flags or balloons that would be great. You do not have to if you don’t want to. He will enjoy seeing the Model A’s. Any questions please call Kim Ursetta (number in the Club Roster).

MAFCC Goes on Its First Birthday Drive-by... Two of our earliest club members were Fred and Pat Laurita. Their son Mike grew up in the club, and now has a sweet 5-year old granddaughter named Harper. For our first social distancing event, what an appropriate way to honor this family - by giving Fred's great-granddaughter a parade for her Fifth Birthday!
