Vice President Andrew Reymer

Andrew, a Greater Baltimore Model A Ford Club member since late 2017, holds a cherished family heirloom in the form of his paternal grandfather's 1930 Ford Model A Roadster. This timeless classic, a beacon of automotive history, has been in the family since the early 1950s, serving as a testament to the enduring passion for vintage automobiles that runs through generations. When Andrew inherited the Roadster, it was in an 'off the road' state, patiently waiting for a revival. With the unwavering support and expertise of fellow club members, Andrew undertook the rewarding journey of restoring the vehicle to its former glory. The culmination of this collaborative effort came to fruition in 2019 when the Model A Roadster once again graced the roads, a testament to the camaraderie and shared enthusiasm within our club. Beyond the restoration project, Andrew's Model A Ford holds a special place in the family's history. His parents created lasting memories in the early 1950s, using the Roadster for their 1957 prom. This vintage gem even took center stage in a January 2021 photoshoot with Baltimore Weddings Magazine (formerly Baltimore Bride), showcasing its timeless elegance and historical significance. Andrew, a family man at heart, delights in sharing his passion for Model A Fords with his loved ones, including his two young children. The joy of passing down this automotive legacy and creating new memories with the next generation is a source of immense fulfillment for him. Looking ahead, Andrew eagerly anticipates expanding his collection of antique cars and adding countless more miles to the odometer of his Model A Fords. As a committed club member and enthusiast, he continues to contribute to the vibrant community of vintage car lovers, fostering camaraderie and preserving the rich history encapsulated in each Model A.

Secretary BARBARA LOHORN

When I met my late husband, Ken Lohorn, in high school, Ken was already a Model A enthusiast and a member of MAFCA. Many of our dates concerned Model A parts, selling Model A parts at flea markets, and Henrietta, his 1929 sport coupe. We joined in the mid 1990's. Around 2000, he built from scratch a 1930 Model A Huckster, which I named Jeannette. I am currently retired from the legal profession, and hope to be driving Jeannette soon.

Treasurer Norm Molter

I bought my first Model A in 1976. It was a 1931 deluxe coupe with twin side mounted spares. While I was working on the chassis, the man who sold me the car was doing the body work and painting it with lacquer (Brewster Green and Black). Unfortunately, I had to sell the car back to him before I even got to put the body on the chassis. I wish I had kept the original “Flying Quail” radiator cap. When I got back, I bought a 1930 Tudor sedan in 1977, had it running for a little while and then had to sell that. But I kept my copy of “Henry's Lady”. In 2012, I bought my current Model A, another 1930 Tudor. This one had belonged to my best friend and a couple years after he passed away, his wife asked me if I would like to buy it. Since it was this car that caused us to meet, I bought it and am in the process of restoring it. In April 2018, I bought a 1931 Model 160B Slant Windshield Town Sedan, did some work on it and then sold it and bought a 1930 Model 45B Deluxe Coupe in January 2019. After passing all the MARC/MAFCA judging tests, I participated in my first “fine point” judging at the Morgantown, PA 2022 MARC meet, again in the 2023 Hamilton, Ohio meet and will be judging at the 2024 National Meet in Asheville, NC. Throughout the process, I have learned some of the fundamentals of restoration, hammer and dolly work for sheet metal, TIG welding and hot riveting. Additionally, have restored a good number of carburetors, distributors, water pumps, transmissions and two-tooth steering columns. I still have a lot to learn and have enjoyed every bit of it.

National Representative Jeff Whitsett

Coming Soon

Activities Steve Meyer

Steve was first introduced to the Model A world through a high school friend at the 2010 annual AACA Hershey Meet. It was there that they both decided to delve into the world of Model A's. After a quick internet search we discovered the GBMAFC club. We attended our first meeting in November 2010 and were impressed with camaraderie and knowledge of the club. At that point he began his search for a suitable car in earnest. He found it in Sioux City Falls and had his 1929 fordor sedan delivered in early January. After a couple of years of major mechanical work and assistance from many club members it was finally deemed roadworthy. Since then it has been on many day and overnight trips with the club. Currently he is working on a late indented firewall 1931 Sedan Deluxe Delivery found rusting away in field in Dayton Md.

Membership TW Scott (Scotty)

Scotty joined the Model A Ford club eight years ago when he and his wife (Jeanette) acquired their first Ford Model A (1930 SWAB Model A Butcher's Truck). He found the club while walking through the local Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) Howard County auto flea market and meeting members: Dave Sturgis and Raymod Ray. Scotty has previously held the position of Vice President of the Greater Baltimore Model A Ford Club. Scotty is energized to serve the club as Membership Chair and has a great focus on member engagement/support. Over the course of the years Scotty and Jeanette have acquired and restored three more Model A's (1928 Track nose Roadster race car, 1929 Murray bodied Fordor, and a 1930 Raulang wood station wagon). His wife, Jeanette joins Scotty equally in the restoration, driving, club events and showing (in period authentic clothes) of antique vehicles in their collection at Once in a Blue Moon Farm, Monkton, Maryland
