GraNeva-As

Welcome to Grass Valley / Nevada City Chapter of Model A Ford Club of America (MAFCA) web site! Come join us and enjoy the Model A Ford and it's era. Ownership of a Model A is not required. Anyone who holds an interest (or obsession in some cases... uh hum) in this classic automobile is welcome. Our members come from all over western Nevada County in the Sierra foothills with one thing in common, HENRY'S LADY.

We are an active chapter with many events. Check out the club calendar. Activities include parades, driving tours, swap meets, technical sessions, and various social events. The club is also a member of the Northern California Regional Group as well as MAFCA.

January/February 2025

It sure has been chilly, clear and dry, but chilly. How many of you run some kind of heater? Options are endless. Manifold, charcoal foot warmer, electric under the seat material, old fashioned heater core, Mr. buddy? Who does What? I tend to wear a heavy hat, gloves, long John’s, and my Costco Orvis pants that are flannel lined. The family and I have been busy. Went on a great Jeep adventure and kept the guide. It will be a future Model A run.

November/December 2024

What a great year we’ve had thus far. So many great tours and events that we’ve had the pleasure of attending. This year has been full. My family has bought, sold, and bartered Model A’s, parts, and odds and ends. We have been on a variety of tours, had our share of adventures, and a break down or two, or three, but who’s counting. That’s the point of this whole adventure, to just get out and try. I personally wouldn’t trade it for anything. My life is full because of the car hobby.

July/August 2024

One hundred plus degrees… but that hasn’t slowed us down too much. We’re excited to have our newsletter editor and webmaster back, hopefully sooner than later. Web, news, updates, edits, it’s not the same without Bill Yanko. Heal up quick. As for the clubs happenings, we had a great 4th of July. I believe 9 Model A’s and a couple of moderns joined along for the Chicago Park Parade. It was great. We then did lunch and a swim. This may have been my favorite parade yet.
