Everybody loved Lillie Fahey, our very first paid lady member. One year she won the Participation Trophy single-handed. She was a delightful person, always friendly and smiling, ready to share a good time. You should have seen her in her 1930-model swim suit! She drove "Old Betsy" a 1931 Tudor for which she held the original title. Lillie passed away in 1976, and every Model A club member who attended her funeral drove their Model A in the procession (not planned - it just happened spontaneously). It is very fitting that our club participation awards are named for this special club member.

All MAFCC members are eligible to earn points toward the Lillie Fahey Awards. Points are awarded for:
Attendance at club-sanctioned events that are open to everyone.
Driving your 'A' to club events
Wearing era attire to club events
Contributing articles to the "Quail" newsletter
Planning and hosting club activities
Recruiting new members

The Model A Ford Club of Colorado has a unique award that honors, not the owner of a car, but the car itself. Each year, club members are asked to report their current mileage, and as various milestones are passed, a Model A is awarded a radiator plaque which is meant to stay with that particular car until the next milestone is reached. The plaque is the property of the club, and if a car leaves the club, the plaque may be purchased by the owner or it must be returned to the club.

Milestone Awards

For the second year in a row, the coveted Lillie Fahey First Place Trophy goes to Ted Ackerman and Linda Rickard (2010 and 2011).
