Fairbanks, Alaska

64° 50' 16" N / 147° 42' 59" W

To cold and dry to make igloos here, can't even make a snowman.

1931 CC Pick-up
1931 CC AA Steel Top
1930 Standard Phaeton (looking for original top irons)

No Model A Ford Club here, lots of Model A's though. AACA Club has been here a long time.

Quincy, CA, Plumas County, located in the Feather River Canyon, at 3500" elevation, 75 miles NW of Reno , Nevada and 75 miles E of the Sacramento Valley. The population is around 5000. All 2 lane highways and roads in the area, no freeways, ideal for driving the Model A's. The draw back is the short time we have each year to work on the A's; gets too cold to work outside; have had tempetures of 20 below zero, one time it lasted for two weeks.
It was 38 this morning and 90 at 3PM today.

Near Oak Grove, MO, 30 miles east of K.C. There are one or two must-see sights near here, if you're touring in this area. My shop is not one of them, but I'd enjoy your visit. Our club meetings are each 3rd Monday eve. with pot luck and you will probably be required to tell about yourself, your adventure and your car.
