Re: 60 th Anniversary Diamond Jubilee Celebration
 

Do they have any event that is open to the public ie. non EFV8 members?

Re: 60 th Anniversary Diamond Jubilee Celebration
 

69a, I don't know about events, but I do know that the EFV8 times magazine itself is well worth the $35/year ......

Re: 60 th Anniversary Diamond Jubilee Celebration
 

Concourse day, in this case June 15th, when the entered vehicles are judged, is effectively open to the public.

Re: 60 th Anniversary Diamond Jubilee Celebration
 

Just curious why you would not want to join the V-8 Club and receive the magazine? You don't need to go to meetings or do anything else other that wait for the mailman to bring you the magazine. There are other benefits like being able to attend all the events at meets and the magazine has sources of parts and technical advice for your car. There is also the advantage of receiving the magazine on-line.

The swap meet is open as well as any outside activities. Some special trips and the banquets are only for members who sign up (and pay).

Re: 60 th Anniversary Diamond Jubilee Celebration
 

The swap meet would be open to the public to walk through and make purchases, but normally you must be a registered member of the V8 Club to rent a space in the swap meet and to sell.
The public could also walk the hotel parking lots to view the vehicles any day during the meet in addition to the day of concourse. However, there are many vehicles that remain in trailers during these meets, only to be seen during the day of concourse, and then put back in their trailers.

Tom,


And you don't even have to wait for the mailman as membership includes both a hard copy and a digital copy of the magazine.

Re: 60 th Anniversary Diamond Jubilee Celebration
 

Dave, best bargain in the magazine world.

V8 Times Magazines are a great read.

Re: 60 th Anniversary Diamond Jubilee Celebration
 

Yes Lawrie, many do not drive their cars to these meets, but for us, that's a big part of the fun of owning these old Fords.

PS.....I signed up for this meet some time ago, and l am definitely looking forward to attending.

Re: 60 th Anniversary Diamond Jubilee Celebration
 

If you don't drive, you don't get the "I Drove" license tab. I have 2 different ones on my 1949 Ford front license. 2008 and 2018.

In 2013, I was on a bucket list check off -- drove to Iowa, got on the California Zephyr and enjoyed our time traveling west and back.
I was also documenting the travels of the East Coast caravan on the EFV-8C web site Forum, as supplied to me by the leader of the caravan.
Back to the roots -- 2013 Lake Tahoe. Great time, beautiful scenery with great Early Ford V-8 members.

Didn't say I got a license tab for driving to Iowa and riding Amtrak. I didn't even get my Junior Amtrak Engineer pin.
But they did do a good job of keeping your vehicle safe in a fenced in area.

Re: 60 th Anniversary Diamond Jubilee Celebration
 

There wasn't a license tab for driving to Iowa? Like John, I have a 2013 tab on my '50 Convertible. Just didn't drive quite as many miles as John did.
