MAFFI MUSEUM progress

April 21 - Construction has begun! a picture

A formal Ground Breaking ceremony occurred on April 17 with members of MAFFI, MARC and MAFCA participating in the joint effort to build a home for “Henry’s Lady”. Predictions are that the building will be completed by Labor Day of this year. That is when the next phase begins: Turning an empty building into a museum.

What can you do to help in that effort? Donations of funds, collections, displays, accessories, original parts, tools and anything else that tells the story of the Model A will be needed. Advance notification of your intent to donate your item or collection would help in the planning. Please inform MAFFI Trustee, Phil Ierardi by email, or by phone at (314) 692-2123, of your intentions.

A 24-hour web cam has been set up at the museum site.

Model A Paint Challenge

a pictureApril 13 - MAFCA's Paint and Finish Guide contains color chips used on Model A cars and trucks, but trying to decide what those colors look like on a car is difficult to imagine.Your webmaster is looking for photos of Model A vehicles that are painted in the correct colors for the year and body style. The goal is to make some of those photos available on the web site.

If you think your car qualifies, please send a high-resolution photo of at least 500kb to the webmaster. Include the year and model of your car. No owner's names will be used to protect their privacy.

 

MARQUETTE CONVENTION Update

a pictureApril 5 - We are proud to announce that Mr. Rod Liimatainen, owner of the Twenty Millionth Ford and a Superior A’s member, has agreed to lead our Model A Tour at the National Convention with his historic vehicle. This will be very reminiscent of the days gone by, when the Slant Window Town Sedan traveled the country promoting the Ford Motor Company. This will be something you won’t want to miss.

Here are just a few notes and ramblings from the last month. We are getting down to the nitty gritty. Only about two and one half months until the big event. Registrations have been coming in daily and we are about to surpass our projected goal (For budgeting). We knew what a great response we would get from our fellow A’ers.

To date we have guests registered from 34 different states, 2 Canadian Provinces and New Zealand. There are a total of 85 different clubs represented. Along with our MAFCA Chapters there are some Marc Regions and Independent Clubs in the mix.

We have had to change some of the room locations for our seminars. They will all be in the same building as before, but due to size and equipment requirements the seminars may be relocated to a different room. Please check your Registration Book upon arrival as it will show the correct rooms.

The Marquette Downtown Development Authority has announced a fundraiser to coincide with The MAFCA National Convention. They have designed Model A’s to put up on the light poles in downtown Marquette. These “Model A’s, designed in the shape of a coupe, are made of plywood and can be painted to represent your family, chapter, or to remember a past member. The cutouts will be $10.00 each. If you are interested please contact Mona Lang at 906-228-9475. [ReadMore]
