The Club’s mission:
To bring together people interested in the restoration and preservation of all side valve (flathead) Ford V8, V12 4 cylinder, 6 cylinder vehicles, passenger, utility, commercial, military, etc. built between the years 1932 and 1954. These vehicles include the classic names of Ford, Mercury, Lincoln, Pilot, Single Spinner, Twin Spinner, Customline, and Zephyr. We are the biggest Australian Early Ford V8 Club and operate in a friendly and harmonious social atmosphere for the total enjoyment of our common interest – we have fun! Owning a flathead Ford V8 is not essential for membership or attending meetings.
The club is a proud member of the Early Ford V8 Club of America as Regional Group No. 151 globally. It is one of 4 Early Ford V8 Clubs in Australia (VIC, NSW, QLD, SA).
The Club participates in the biennual Early Ford V8 Nationals event which is hosted by each Australian club on a rotating basis.
The Club jointly organises the highly successful Ford Flathead Festival with 3 other Ford clubs- Ford Owners Restorers & Drivers Club of Australia (FORDCA), Model ‘A’ Ford Club Of Victoria (MAFCA) & The Model T Ford Club of Victoria (MTFCV). The event attracts a wide variety of over 100 Ford flathead powered vehicles including historic racing cars and hotrods.
The Club also organises a number of other in-house events.
