Painting and Tour Preparation

Picture
The Model A Ford Club of Colorado held two seminars on Saturday, March 25. One seminar involved artistic expression and creativity while learning how to paint. Meanwhile, a more technical seminar took place about the proper checks and preparations to perform to a Model A Ford before embarking on an extended tour. This seminar will prove beneficial as the club makes preparations for the rapidly-approaching High Country Tour in Breckenridge.

St. Patrick's Day Scavenger Hunting

Picture
On Sunday, March 12, the MAFCC descended upon Clancy's Irish Pub in Wheat Ridge. The green beer would have to wait, because there were Lucky Charms to find! Model As raced across the town of Wheat Ridge, hunting for Lucky Charms, hopeful of collecting them before they were gone. The Scavenger Hunt had a catch: all of the charms had to be collected while driving the fewest number of miles.

After completing the search, the club returned to Clancy's, where Erin and Julie Murphy claimed first place; having driven 18 miles. We finished off the tour with green beer and a hearty Irish lunch.

Special thanks to Jay and Diana Binkley for planning the scavenger hunt!

A Rundown on the Model A Transmission

Picture
On February 18th, Ron Rickard held a seminar about the operation, servicing, and rebuilding process of the Model A transmission tower. This educational event provided a great chance to learn more about how power is transferred from the engine back to the differential, as well as how the gears provide points of reduction, or allow the vehicle to reverse, when arranged in specific positions. Meanwhile, the ladies enjoyed a St. Patrick's Day themed crafting session.

Special thanks to Ron Rickard for putting this seminar on, and to Bret and Leigh Plue for hosting this event!
MAILING VALENTINES FROM LOVELAND
Picture
The Model A Club had great weather on Saturday, February 4th, for a drive from Broomfield to Loveland to mail Valentines. A long-standing MAFCC tradition, this winter tour provides the unique opportunity to receive the special Loveland postmark on your valentines (and to enjoy an easy drive in your Model A along the way).

A GREAT BEGINNING FOR 2023

A club tradition observed every year by the MAFCC is the Inaugural Banquet to kick-off the new year. This event allows the club to celebrate past and present board members, present awards, and look forward to the year's coming events.

On Sunday, January 22nd, we held our 2023 Inaugural Banquet with the presentation of longevity awards (which included the celebration of new lifetime memberships), milestone awards and welcoming the new Board members to their roles. The event could even be considered "magical," as a magician was on-hand for entertainment!

When we share our time, memories and old cars with others, everyone wins.
​Visits to senior residences are a favorite club activity.
