The Greater Baltimore Model A Ford Club is a Region of the Model 'A' Restorers Club (MARC) and a Chapter of the Model A Ford Club of America (MAFCA). Most of our members are from the geographical area around Baltimore, Maryland, extending north to the Pennsylvania line, west to Washington, DC, and south to Annapolis. We exchange ideas, information and parts for the Model A Ford Car and aid our members in restoring and preserving their cars in their original likenesses. We help these owners and their families to become better acquainted, and encourage the spirit of fellowship through sponsored activities that include the use of the Model A Ford. We have multiple events each year which include driving events, social events, and educational events. Our emphasis is on having fun with our cars.
We have a business meeting on the third Tuesday of each month, except December, at Lincoln Tech 9325 Snowden River Parkway, Columbia, MD 21046. After a business meeting we have a presentation on some aspect of the Model A Ford, its restoration, or related topics. We also have many events between meetings either with or without our cars. See the activities page for recent event descriptions.
Our club maintains Model A Ford tools and informational videos for the use of our members. We have educational programs at local high schools, workshops, and a ride-along program for those who do not own a Model A Ford. Our newsletter won the MARC Best Newsletter Award in 2009 and our events are always well attended and fun. Our members are friendly and helpful, and we encourage people interested in cars of this era to attend our meetings and see how interesting they can be.
TO JOIN US:
It is not necessary to own a Model A to be a member. To join, fill out a Club application form available above and mail it to the membership chair. All the contact information and prices
are included in the form.
All members of the Greater Baltimore chapter must also be a member of the Model A Restorers Club (MARC) for insurance reasons. If you are not already a member of MARC, you must also send a filled out MARC application form, which you can get above along with your check made payable to MARC to our Membership Chair. We will forward your MARC membership application and check to MARC. The membership year for the GBMAFC is from January 1 to December 31. While the Model A Restorers Club (MARC) membership year formerly was the same as our club, it is no longer. The MARC membership year can be on the first day of any month. If a GBMAFC member renews early or late, MARC might change the starting month for their membership. GBMAFC members need to be aware of their MARC membership year so they might not be dropped from their MARC membership. MARC has instituted a program where region members can now renew, join and pay for their membership.
