I fell in love with the Model “A” Ford 13 years ago when my dad purchased a 1930 Cabriolet when I was a junior in undergraduate school. While I was in graduate school, my dad and I worked together to restore an early 1930 Tudor. Most people today would probably purchase a practical car after graduating. Not me, I purchased a 1931 DeLuxe Roadster on which I have put many thousands of miles. In 2016, my dad purchased his 1929 Roadster which we restored together and won the Henry Award in 2021 in Oshkosh. While we were restoring this car, we found the Model “A” Restorer’s Club via the Fine Point facebook page. Through the page, we met Mark Maron and Ron Ehrenhofer, both of whom were incredibly gracious and helpful to us during our restoration. We joined MARC so we could come to the Gettysburg national meet, and we were hooked. I am proof that we can expand our membership through tools like Facebook.

Since Gettysburg, I have purchased several more cars, and attended every national meet. As a result, I have made some great friends along the way. I began judging Area 7 for Fine Point in 2019 at Dearborn. I believe there is something for everyone in the hobby from collecting parts and advertisements to taking multi-day tours. What I like most about MARC is the commitment to originality that seems to be an integral part of the organization. I believe we can encourage membership growth by selling the authentic Model “A” experience. Everywhere I go, it’s easy to tell that people love the Model “A” Ford.
