As far as I know, the Restorer magazine was always a MAFCA publication but was offered to MARC Members in 1956 to increase national distribution. MAFCA was basically West Coast. Back then, as noted, MAFCA only had 107 members.
But I could be wrong.
MAFCA 1956
On February 26, 1956 the first Annual Business Meeting and the election of officers for 1956 was held and Art Miller became the first president. In May of 1956, the first issue of The Restorer was published as the official club publication. The Restorer, by the third issue and by immediate popular demand, was offered to all MARC members, effecting national distribution at a subscription rate off $3 a year. By direction of the parent club classified ads were restricted to the Southern California territory designated in the Regional Charter. The 13th of November, 1956 marked the first anniversary of the Southern California Region. Membership had grown from 21 members in February to 107 in November.
