First, welcome to the Barn and welcome to the Model A community.

New Bern is out on the coast. I am in Wilkesboro or I would be there is a heartbeat. I am pretty sure there are Model A clubs on the coast. There are two national clubs, MARC and MAFCA. Both have web pages to search for local clubs chapters with contact information. The best bet is to join one of the local chapters. Hopefully someone who lives close to you will pop up on the Barn.

For MARC see https://model-a-ford.org/top-page-1/regions/

For MAFCA see https://mafca.com/chapters/

Welcome to the Barn, Georg. I think as a new owner you would do very well to hook up with a chapter of either MAFCA or MARC, as nk suggests. There is a MAFCA a chapter in the Raleigh area (Clayton NC):

Tar Heel A's
Chuck Murray
[email protected]
(252) 314-9663

There is also a MAFCA chapter in Charleston SC but that's a bit farther away from you.

There are several MARC chapters in North Carolina, see the link that nk posted above.
