The Beehive A's was founded in 1982 for the purpose of fostering fellowship and encouraging the acquisition, restoration, and showing the Ford Model A, which was produced from 1928 through 1931. Most importantly, we encourage owners to drive their cars! The Model A was built for driving, and they are fun! Tours are scheduled for the warm weather months, and include local as well as longer distance destinations.
The Club meets monthly, generally on the second Monday of the month. Presently, the meetings are held at 7:00 pm at the Pleasant Valley Library, 5568 South Adams Avenue, Washington Terrace. During the summer months, the meeting location will be at a member's home or shop. Check the Upcoming Events page or the Rumbleseat Review for the location. Membership dues are $20.00 a year, and include our montly newsletter, The Rumbleseat Review. Technical discussions are held at most meetings, which allow members with experience on a particular aspect of the Model A to share their knowledge with others.
