| MAFFI Model A Museum Groundbreaking was April 17. See below. |

The mound in the background is top soil. Trucks are hauling in gravel for a base for the cement slab.
Cement is to be poured this week and steel will arrive next week.
Please pass this info to your club members so that they can enjoy the building's progress.
Also let them know that we have 650 walkway brick orders and are waiting for theirs!!!!!!!

At some point in April the construction of the new Model A Museum will begin. Depending on final contract negotiations and the weather in central Michigan, the bulldozers will begin preparing for the foundation of the new 11,000 square foot building. A formal Ground Breaking ceremony is planned for April 17 with members of MAFFI, MARC and MAFCA participating in the joint effort to build a home for “Henry’s Lady”.
Predictions are that the building will be completed by Labor Day of this year. That is when the next phase begins: Turning an empty building into a museum. What can you do to help in that effort? Donations of funds, collections, displays, accessories, original parts, tools and anything else that tells the story of the Model A will be needed. Advance notification of your intent to donate your item or collection would help in the planning. Please inform MAFFI Trustee, Phil Ierardi by email at pni1938@gmail.com, or by phone at (314) 692-2123, of your intentions.

Coming back from Las Vegas, Bill Rose and Lauren Alley found this antique (Model A) hay bailer in Barstow, California. Check it out!

In case you haven’t noticed, there is a link on this website under “Links” called “Visible Vintage Autos”. I recently decided to order their product for $39.99 plus shipping and promptly received three 6” x 10” oval Ford emblems on flexible magnetic backing. These emblems are made from highly reflective material visible for up to one mile. Also included were two amber and two red rectangular magnets for the front and rear bumpers.
The whole purpose of this is to make our Model A’s more visible to the general motoring public at night. I must report that they do work as advertised and that they will not scratch the paint on your precious baby. They may actually prevent much more serious scratches when some idiot runs up your rear end because he couldn’t see your pitifully dim single rear taillight.
