Ford V-8 National Meet - Toowoomba 2021. Sponsored by the Queensland Early Ford V-8 Club, Regional Group # 157 . The Early Ford V-8 Club of America has four Regional Groups in Australia. Every two years, on a rotating basis, each RG organises a V-8 Nationals. The initial V-8 Nationals was held in Beenleigh, Queensland back in 1988. Two years later, it was organised by the New South Wales RG, followed two years later by the Victorian RG, then finally to the RG in South Australia. This is a very popular and successful event; bringing early Fords from across the country together in one place. This event aims to celebrate Ford, Mercury and Lincoln vehicles built between 1932-1954 that retain their original Flathead V-8 engine. The organising for the planned 2020 Early Ford V-8 Nationals was the responsibility of the Queensland Early Ford V-8 Club. Unfortunately, it had to be postponed on account of the Corona-19 Virus. This event has now been rescheduled for May next year, 2021. The event comprises of a display day, a tour, a morning tea & lunch as well as a presentation dinner, plus visits to interesting places. The destination for the 17th Nationals is Toowoomba, with the theme being "up on the Downs".
