Eastern National Meet - Franklin Tenn. June 1-4 2022

Counting down the days. Not long to go now.

You going? Bill.

I plan on going, I had been planning on taking my '48 Ford. With the price of fuel, it's not going to happen. Was going to use my friend's diesel truck and his trailer to go up from Florida. I will be driving a modern vehicle instead. Hopefully, that won't stop a lot of attendees from taking their cars to the meet.

I'm looking forward to attending the '22 Early Ford V-8 Club's Eastern National Meet in Franklin Tennessee, and visiting the Driskell's "Third Generation Automotive" operation in McMinnville

Giving the '35 fordor sedan its final prep for the 12 hr, 768 mile drive to Tennessee on May 31st.

I'm wondering how many Fordbarn members will be attending this meet??

See you there, John.

I plan on going but waiting for Nickel Plated Parts from Paul's shop and Battery I ordered 3 months ago. Been working on rentals the last two weeks. Need to repack the wheel Bearings on the Car Trailer. Plus get the Diesel truck ready. Diesel is $6.00 a gallon so $1000. both ways.It would be cheaper to drive the 32. Wife thinks I am crazy for going.

I'd love to go but am wondering if there is Camping available at the host site. Anyone know? I'd tow my '48 behind my motorhome and drive during the event.

Email the meet chairman, Danny Driskell, and ask him about Motorhome parking at the event, or maybe near the event.

I’m planning on going. Hopefully bring my 40 sedan but I need to get a few miles on the new engine and work out a few bugs. If not I'll drive my coupe up there.

John, bring some of those good Maryland Blue Crabs with you!!! We'll have a good steam'em up with Ken's Moonshine.

Moonshine is getting hard to come by lately. I have a couple of quarts but that won't go far.There should be some being made in Tenn. Hope they don't raise the price.

Don't squish the cans James, they may not give you the deposit back. I found that out when I visited Maine a few years ago. Enjoy the Meet.
