A number of Model “A” Ford owners around the world have come together and declared Saturday, July 26, 2008 as "INTERNATIONAL MODEL “A” DAY".

This first year, it is coincidental with the eightieth year of the Model “A” Ford’s first model in 1928. There is a contingency plan for a local rain event date of Sunday, July 27.

To celebrate the day and their car’s eightieth birthday, thousands of Model “A” Ford Restorers and Preservers will be taking their cars out for a drive, and to socialize with other Model “A” enthusiasts. The specific activities will be determined by each local group, found in all fifty states and about thirty other countries.

Some groups will be driving to picnics; others will participate in car shows and contests to help celebrate the day. Our group has coordinated their activities with two Ford dealers, both of which will help support the day’s activities.

We will be meeting @ 9:00AM at Maroone Ford of Ft. Lauderdale, 1333 N Federal Highway, Ft. Lauderdale (across the street from Bayview Cadillac) and leaving about 12:30PM heading north on US 1. At the same time a group will be meeting @ Maroone Ford @ N.E. corner of Linton & I-95 in Delray @ 8:30am and leaving about 12:30PM and they will head south on US1.

Both groups are meeting @ 1:00-1:30PM @ Pompano/Mercury/Lincoln/Ford on 28th Street & West side of Federal Highway in Pompano Beach. We will be leaving there 3:30-4:00PM.
