Is anyone going to the Early ford V8 meet this year in June in Dearborn ?

It would be nice to meet some of the people I only know by their Ford Barn ID's.

Steve in Denver · 04-22-2018, 07:19 PM

We need to figure out a way to identify ourselves, maybe using a black marker to write your handle on your name tag? Or a picture of your car?

Or maybe write "Ford Barner" on your name tag.

dave collette · 04-22-2018, 07:27 PM

Yes,Nancy and i will be there.It is going to be great to be in Ford Country!

Kerk · 04-22-2018, 07:47 PM

Yes I will be there riding with the Ct. group as a passenger with Ted R. in his 46.. Kerk Reg # 335 even Looking foward to it!got a 335 # as late as I registration!

scicala · 04-22-2018, 08:38 PM

Thanks for all the responses everyone. I'll have to write down all the ID's and car types to help me recognize people. Maybe for me I can wear a name tag that says Ford Barn (or FB) and my ID below it, since I won't have a car there.

The hosting hotel is : The Edward Hotel, 600 Town Center Dr., Dearborn, MI

Charlie, My wife and I will be there with our 39 standard, I can't wait for some of the tours, and seminars, Chuck.

Pat/Ohio · 04-23-2018, 07:41 AM

I will be there with my '32 Standard Coupe. Looking forward to visiting with old & new friends! Pat

Frank Miller · 04-23-2018, 07:50 AM

Because it has become fashionable to use any other name than our own maybe the name tags could have our fordbarn name under the real one. I have found using my real name makes me more recognizable. Saying some of the stuff I do make me more memorable but lets not go there.

flathead4rd · 04-23-2018, 07:55 AM

I'm planning on being there with my 50.

Tuesday was the day for the seminars. Our good friend, Charlie Schwendler, gave a terrific presentation on flathead carbs and fuel pumps. The picture of the folks in their seats shows a small group in the beginning.....the size of the crowd was at least 4 times what you see here by the time he got rolling. I sat in the back, awaiting my turn to spout off on the next seminar. I definitely learned something about his subjects that day!

VeryTangled · 06-14-2018, 08:27 PM

Hi Everyone, Mac's transmission seminar was pretty good too! Boy he sure knows a lot about his field! Charlie's seminar was very educational. And Pat's spark plug seminar was very detailed.

Here's a shot from a unique rig on the show field late this afternoon.

A bunch of folks toured the Rouge F-150 final assembly line, what looks like a field is actually a living roof above the assembly line. Tomorrow there is an opportunity to tour the Benson Ford Research Center.

Redneck and Josh Conrad were seen chatting for a couple of minutes about his "junker" that is kept in the V-8 Foundation museum.

koates · 06-18-2018, 07:28 PM

Wow ! that's a great pic of the Ford V8 fire engine and its transporter, a unique set up. Thanks for posting it. I love old fire engines and am a member of the fire services museum of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia. We have about 50 old fire engines in our collection including a horse drawn steamer which works under steam. Regards, Kevin.
