Re: Early Ford V-8 Foundation Museum
Maybe you would also want to consider attending the EFV-8 Club's 2019 Central National Meet in Auburn, Indiana. I believe the show field will be setup on the Museum property.

Re: Early Ford V-8 Foundation Museum
I saw that ,JM. Also have a friend that lives in Fort Wayne that I went thru basic training and tech school with. Would be nice to see him too. Running the dealership is like having cows but I'm working on being a little less valuable, ha!

Re: Early Ford V-8 Foundation Museum
At this point, the V8 Foundation Museum and whoever is in charge (mainly the social media/media guy) need to think real hard about his actions and attitude....My situation....A year or so ago (On Facebook) the foundation museum posted a picture of our car to which I posted under it "Hey we have car exactly like it!" at which point I was labeled "sarcastic" and subsequent correspondence with said person all but called me a smart ass, the Facebook post pulled and I am banned from the foundation page and or receiving FB post. Not sure IF that is what the Museum, members or club want as its representation BUT for now, my money is staying in my pocket..... OR AM I looking at this wrong????

Re: Early Ford V-8 Foundation Museum
Hmmmm? Everyone at the foundation knows I'm a smart ass but they still keep me around.

Re: Early Ford V-8 Foundation Museum
Just mailed off a check for a memorial brick and two F-150 tickets. Odds are great on the pickup. You can't win if you don't play!

Re: Early Ford V-8 Foundation Museum
Rockfla, I agree with Cecil that the written word can be misinterpreted on both sides. The only real way to clear the air is a personal conversation by phone or face to face. It's amazing how a simple phone call can change an entire situation. Social media is misinterpreted all the time and in today's era of hypersensitivity it has become even worse. Make a phone call and talk with the person that you feel was unfriendly to you. Start by explaining that you are unsure what you said that caused the problem, but you would like to clear the air and resolve the issue. Be a good listener and I think you'll be back on good terms and feel good that you made the call.

Re: Early Ford V-8 Foundation Museum
Good thoughts to ponder from TJ and Cecil. I know most everyone associated with the Early Ford V-8 Foundation Museum, and none of these folks fit the description of someone you described. Also, one persons actions would not keep me from supporting an overall good cause that I believe in.

If you like, I'll pay for your first year membership. It's something I've done for a few folks. Just PM me with your mailing address and I'll get you signed up. The people associated with this effort are some of the people I respect the most in this world. Any chance I get, Auburn IN, is on my list of go-to places!

I am A) What the club (and the Foundation) need, I am a young member, 53yrs old, and I have been "involved" with V8's (literally) all my life (my dad bought our 37 Woody 52-1/2 years ago & been a EFV8 club member continuously since 1967 ). I fully support the whole concept of the Foundation & Museum and cannot think of any better way of continuing the V8 Ford Legacy....BUT.....2) I am "locked" out of participating (at least on social media) and as I have said before (and been noted previously (at yes it's a two way street) BUT I am a business man and at its simplest form, I am a "customer" (potential donator, potential member) and as I have stated, I don't need the Foundation to still enjoy the hobby/cars etc etc (yes it would be wonderful to have that resource continuing the hobby/club) the Foundation "needs" all the support (both financial & donations) it can get and as the founder of my company always said to us "The customer may "not" always be right, BUT he is the customer!!" SO as I have stated, I had 'NO" issue/problem till "I" was "band" from participation from the Foundation Page, not at my behest, and told "I" was "sarcastic"....and yes, I can/could make "a call" and "be the bigger" person and maybe at some point I will, at this point the taste left in my mouth is still bitter (as the "drastic steps were taken by the Foundation (or representative of) not by me. I appreciate the the input of Cecil, TJ you and other and I have taken the "advice" to heart and am pondering that advice and "hopefully" it will cleanse the bitter taste soon!!!!! |

Re: Early Ford V-8 Foundation Museum
Ladies and Gentlemen, I'd like to suggest that we get back to the purpose of these Forums, which is to exchange ideas on keeping our beloved Fords alive and well! Let bygones be bygones and let's get on with the business of solving problems. VEHICLE problems - not problems with other people or organizations. TJ's advice is spot on. No need to air our dirty laundry in front of others who probably could care less. Let's not turn people off; let's try to help them fix their Fords!

Re: Early Ford V-8 Foundation Museum
I am a dues paying member of the EFV-8 Club which is not the same as the museum.
I have spoken with Josh ( the Curator ) of the EFV-8 Museum in Auburn, IN many times on several matters - I like him.’ Jim |
