Learn About Our History
Decades of experience
The Ford Model A was in production from 1928 – 1931. It was the second huge success for the Ford Motor Company, the Ford Model T being its first.
Bob Darr started the club in 1961 after sending letters to other Model A owners in the Central Iowa area. The response was very good so he sent a letter to interested Model A’ers inviting them along with their families and friends to attend the first meeting at the Water Works Park in Des Moines, Iowa. Bob arranged everything including a prize of Ford Script Model A Running Board Steps. The local Radio and News Papers were alerted. The original meeting was a great success and in those early years there were many events where the Model A club members got together to enjoy the cars, the learning experiences and the social activities.
