WHAT WE DO
WE APPRECIATE ALL OUR MODEL A FORD
HOBBY FRIENDS
The Autumn Trails Model A Club members meet once a month and go on periodic group tours. They exchange ideas, information and parts for admirers of the 1928-1931 Model "A" Ford car, and to aid them in their efforts to restore and preserve the car in its original likeness. The Club has many regional members who conduct year-round tours to historic sites, attend museum and entertainment venues, and travel the scenic roads of eastern Texas. The yearly Autumn Trails celebration is held in Winnsboro each weekend in October, with the Autumn Trails Antique Car Rally held the fourth weekend; now held for over 62 years, since 1963.

From MAFCA'S NEWSLETTER "THE FLYING QUAIL"
The Autumn Trails antique car parade in Winnsboro, Texas on the fourth Saturday of October each year is one of our favorite times. (Master Model A movie maker, the late Victor Duncan made one of his movies about Autumn Trails.) A couple of years ago, well I guess it was three since AT’s as shut down like everything else in 2020, we were able to get three of the four family Model A’s together for a photo. This is my all time favorite photo. Our ‘29 Murray Town Sedan, our son’s low mileage, unrestored ‘30 Murray Town Sedan and our daughter’s ‘31 steelback Victoria. (courtesy of John Icenhower)
