2024 State Tour of
Model A Ford Clubs & Fans;
Lanny & Brenda Buck
Win Car Award
Annual State Tour was held in historic Nacogdoches this year, with the Dallas Club hosting. Winnsboro, Texas (east Texas) club members of the Autumn Trails A's won the prestigious Bronze Award from the National club of the Model A Ford Club of America, for 355 points on their early 1928 Phaeton convertible. Lanny said his favorite part of the Model A Ford hobby is "spending time with family and fellow enthusiasts."
Tex Willis is seen accepting the award on the Buck's behalf at the state convention in June.

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)

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 58 years, since 1963.

2025: MAFCA National Tour – The American Civil War
(planned by Arlen & Trish Evans, Dallas Ford Model A Club)
Three Model A Clubs Celebrate International Model A Day in East Texas's Mid-America Flight Museum in Mt. Pleasant -Pictures here in Autumn Newsletter .
The Autumn Trails A's, Dallas Ford Model A Club and the Tyler Model A Ford clubs took a nice Saturday (9/16/2023) road tour through the east Texas piney woods roads on September 19 for International Model A Day. The group met up at the Mid America Flight Museum, a private air and transportation museum at 602 Mike Hall Parkway, in Mount Pleasant, Texas.
The first International Model A Day began in 2008 when Bruce Adams and others came up the idea for this event, first held in 2009. Many chapters celebrated International Model A Day on the weekend of September 16, 2023. Several groups plan to send accounts of their events to share on the MAFCA web site at www.mafca.com.
