The Early Ford V-8 Club of America is holding their 2024 Central National Meet at Auburn, Indiana this June. Always great to visit Auburn with its numerous excellent museums. Here are some photos of the 2011 Central National Meet at Auburn, my first club event.
Looking forward to seeing my Early Ford Friends at Auburn. |

Not bringing an old Ford, but I am registered for the meet. Always a great and fun place to visit and see V-8 friends that I don't normally see from other parts of the US. Also anxious to see the new additions to the museum.

Tony, I was there in 2011 as well. Also my first meet. I didn't know anyone. The show field was great with lots of cars.
I think these are the meets in order that I've attended: Auburn Springfield Gettysburg Chantilly Dearborn Auburn Franklin Dearborn The Chantilly meet had some great touring. |

Ken's 1936 Roadster is beautiful. He was nice enough to let me and Grant Fleming use it on the Route 66 Tour during the 2014 Springfield Central National Meet when we were unable to get our cars to the meet. Thanks Ken.

Don't forget the "First" one, 2009. The "First" incarnation of the Early Ford V8 museum PLUS a few of the cars that showed for the show and flea market!!!! I plan on attending IF I do not change careers. I will know in a couple of few weeks.

I made a side trip to the museum last year on my way up to the Grand National this past June, a lot has changed and even more has grown in Auburn at the exit area where the hotels are as well as lots of growth to the EFV8 museum. I was amazed at the growth!!! Well worth the trip for the show this June IMO.

Folks,
Looking forward to the Auburn show this June. Yep the plan is to drag the ragged ol truck along too. The plan is to travel with John and Cathy hauling their prized 42 Ford. It will be the first time for the 42 to be at one of the Early V8 meets. Make sure you get a chance to visit with John about his Fords. He is a walking Ford numbers guy! ![]() ![]() ![]() Regards, Chris and Cheryl

I was not able to attend the last two National Meet do to my health. But I am planing to make this one. I still got to get the trailer ready repacking the Wheel Bearings and a new Battery for the wench. The 32 will be there also. My eyesight could be better. I hate night driving at night anymore. The older I get the slower I get. I don't expect much anymore. I do look forward in going to the National Meet this time.Might be my last one?

Tony,
Who is Bryan Markell? There are no "vendors" per se at the meet. Some members have swap spaces, but not a lot. I have that number. Ken

I will be attending the CNM, arriving on late Tuesday. The museum has arranged to have some copies of my truck book available for purchase and I'm happy to sign them.
Looking forward to talking about early Ford trucks with like-minded folks. Hope to see you there.

Just got back from a 10K RV trip from SJ to Auburn and back seeing all the flyover states we had never been to. Beautiful vehicles and a small swap meet in the wet, soggy grass. We were running from bad weather by the time we got there.

I got almost all the pre-trip maintenance done on the 53: oil changed, remainder of fluids checked, valve lash checked, different carburetor rebuilt & jeting verified ok, horns installed, brakes adjusted, replace idler arm, and fixed the 12V power port. The last two items are to organize the tools & spare parts, and replace the turn signal flasher. I think we will be rolling out with confidence next Saturday morning.

My friend and I are about to head north-northeast toward Auburn. I'm really looking forward to this.

Flying back from LA tomorrow morning at 8 am, getting back home in Virginia by 6 pm then jumping the the car at 4:30 am, driving 11 1/2 hours to Auburn via West Virginia to pickup a fellow enthusiast. Looking forward to being there on Tuesday evening. A convoluted trip, but I had to be in LA for my son's graduation from CalTech with his PhD. Hope to see some of you there.

Everyone knows everyone, I am new and know no one. I entered my 1938 Standard V-8 60 in the Rouge Class. If you spot my car, please come up and introduce yourself.
