Ken Brady Award

Who was Kenneth G. Brady?

Kenneth G. Brady passed away suddenly in February 1978. Ken was an active MARC member “who gave unsparingly of his time and energy to the Model “A” Restorer’s Club” in countless ways. Just to mention a few of the ways Ken served MARC and his fellow hobbyists, he had served as a member of the MARC Board of Directors, a member of the National Office Operating Committee, president of the Motor Cities Region, co-chairman of the 1973 National Meet in Dearborn, and was chairman of numerous other regional functions.

What is the Kenneth G. Brady Award?

To memorialize Ken, a Paul Revere silver bowl mounted on a trophy stand was donated to the Model “A” Restorer’s Club. The donation was made by William Vicary, of the Motor Cities Region, in memory of Kenneth G. Brady “who gave unsparingly of his time and energy to the Model “A” Restorer’s Club.” The Kenneth G. Brady Award is presented each year to the person(s) who has given unsparingly of time and energy to the Model “A” Restorer’s Club national organization. While the Kenneth G. Brady Award is generally viewed as MARC’s version of a lifetime achievement award, consideration may also be given to a member for extraordinary service during the past year. The original Paul Revere silver bowl is maintained in the MARC office and is updated each year with the new recipient’s name, while the recipient shall be presented a replica of the original bowl to keep in honor of their service.
