The Early Ford V‑8 Club of America

Preserving Flathead Fords Around the World

Founded in San Leandro, California in 1963, our club recognizes all Ford Motor Company vehicles made between 1932 and 1953, including Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, commercial vehicles, tractors and other Ford powered vehicles built around the world utilizing the 4, 6, 8, and 12 cylinder engines produced by Ford Motor Company.

Today, as the Marquee Club of our represented vehicles, with membership of over 9,000 and 125 Regional Groups worldwide, we are dedicated to the restoration and preservation of all Ford Motor Company vehicles built between 1932 and 1953.

The club's award-winning, bi-monthly magazine, the V-8 Times, is circulated all over the world and is acclaimed as one of the best car club magazines anywhere. The V-8 Times features technical articles, shop tips, questions and answers by our panel of experts, nostalgia, club and regional group news, offerings of accessories and restoration manuals found nowhere else - plus classified ads for cars and parts.

If you're not already a member, we invite you to Join Today and explore the works of the Early Ford V-8 Club of America.

Shipping Changes Coming to Online Store

Easier for everyone to use

Nov 13, 2024

MORE It is a fact that shipping charges have been all over the map in recent years. While we have tried to make the Online Store shipping choices reasonable, they are confusing.

So, with trying to make shipping up to date and with fewer choices, the Online Store will be down for a period of time on Monday November 25th while we make some changes.

During this time all products will be temporarily removed from the Online Store.

When the Online Store is back, items that you purchase will have shipping determined by weight. So there will be no need to search for the shipping rate that fits your order because it will be calculated by the weight of your order.

We hope that this will make purchases via the Online Store more pleasant to complete and more favorable to both the purchaser and the Club.

Thank you for your previous purchases and hopefully many more.
