I believe that a majority of Ford Barners would be Members of The Early Ford V8 Club of America, but some are unaware of this great global club. They produce the Award Winning Magazine V8 Times six times a year, and have just added a Digital Copy for Members that pay for the Printed Copy of V8 Times. The above illustrations are too small to copy, but you can print out a copy from their Web Site. If you are not a Member of The Early Ford V8 Club of America, I would encourage you to become a Member. For more information, click on to the attached Links. Regards Mercman <><

Trevor,


As noted on the form, a digital copy of the magazine only membership is also available for US$ 30, which avoids the increasingly expensive postage cost of the printed version, especially for members outside of the U.S..

Re: The Early Ford V8 Club of America - Application Form.
 

Before you guys start with stuff like I get enough magazines or it's too much money, think of this as a donation to the club that supports the hobby. You get fun reading and if you choose to become an active member and attend a national meet then you'll find out how much fun you get for your dollar.
I've met some of the best people from all over the country and a few places down under as well.
5 years ago I was totally down and out emotionally for a variety of reasons. John Mason called me from out of the blue and invited me to TROG in Pismo Beach and the Western Meet in Bakersfield. We had the time of out life and better therapy than any couch could give me.

I subscribe to 5 old car/truck magazines. The V8 Times from the EFV8 club is my favorite.
I look forward to every issue! - F F

Re: The Early Ford V8 Club of America - Application Form.
 

Well said Frank. I've been a member since 1974 and it's been a "fun ride" ever since.

Re: The Early Ford V8 Club of America - Application Form.
 

The cover on the last V-8 Times was suitable for framing. It was '32 Station Wagon and when you opened the front and back page it featured the entire profile of the car.

Re: The Early Ford V8 Club of America - Application Form.
 

Thanks Trevor.
And may I add...............that if you go to the site earlyfordv8.org and then click on Current News from the left column menu, you will see an explanation of how to join and get the digital version of the magazine. Please note that the printed version membership is still an option and is not going away.

Great opporitunity to become a member without having to worry about exchange rates and delivery problems.

Re: The Early Ford V8 Club of America - Application Form.
 

If I want the printed version where would I get that? I still like the tactile versions also.

Re: The Early Ford V8 Club of America - Application Form.
 

YEP - same here. The V8 Times is the best! ;)

Re: The Early Ford V8 Club of America - Application Form.
 

Another vote for the V8 Times printed version. Real QUALITY !! I can live without a computer, but not without my V8 Times........

Re: The Early Ford V8 Club of America - Application Form.
 

Tinker, join the club and the print version is included in your membership. I also get several old car magazines and the V8 Times is the top contender. Good articles, lots of information and pictures and the book sized format is really nice.

Re: The Early Ford V8 Club of America - Application Form.
 

Ive been a member for over 20 years now. The magazine is first class as are the shows they put on are outstanding. I prefer print and often refer back to them.

Re: The Early Ford V8 Club of America - Application Form.
 

I used to rat-hole my V8 Times issues away but I decided to share them a few years ago. Now, I read (and enjoy) each issue and then pass it to a friend. He does the same and passes it to his son. His son passes it on too. When I need to find an article, I can do it on line instead of digging thru stacks of paper.

Re: The Early Ford V8 Club of America - Application Form.
 

I have taken the magazines to our church car show each year. I put them next to the car with a free, take one sign. They go fast.

V8 Times - September-October 2021 fully opened showing the front and back Covers showing a grand picture of a 1932 Ford Station Wagon. woodiewagon46 suggested in Post 6 that it was suitable for framing.

Belonging to the Early Ford V8 Club has lots of advantages. You can join in on the monthly V8 Club Runs, and if you run into trouble, there is always someone there to help sort out the problem.

Re: The Early Ford V8 Club of America - Application Form.
 

As I let my subcription slide to the V8 Times slide this year I'm inquiring as to whether the cover for the May/June issue showing a'40 Ford wagon is the real cover?
The background appears to be the northern Ca/ Oregon coast. Was there a story behind this wagon featured between the covers? Just askin' Bill

Re: The Early Ford V8 Club of America - Application Form.
 

Bill,

Yes, that is the real cover. There was a very interesting story about the new owner of the car who purchased it in Monterey, drove along the California coast, then drove all the way home to Virginia. It details all the problems you might find in a car that hadn't been driven in years. That one story was worth the price of the V-8 Times subscription.

Re: The Early Ford V8 Club of America - Application Form.
 

Just curious why you let your subscription slide, yet ask a question what is in the May-June issue? Just askin'.

Re: The Early Ford V8 Club of America - Application Form.
 

Folks,
Not a subscriber or member yet. But my friend John K. has given me several of these books and I have looked at just about every page. The ragged ol' truck with the 4 banger is in the right vintage, but those shiny V8 Fords all look super sharp! I do enjoy the articles.
My first memories of a car was my grandparents late 40's Ford 2 door sedan, kind of a flesh color, wasn't too fancy. I must have been about 3 or 4 years old.
Regards,
Chris

Re: The Early Ford V8 Club of America - Application Form.
 

Chris,


The scope of the Club includes the '32-'34 fours (and later fours and sixes, as well), but then you know that given that you have a copy of the Club's 1932 book.

Re: The Early Ford V8 Club of America - Application Form.
 

Bill;
See that you list Nova Scotia on you avitar.
If you are still wanting to look at the V-8 TIMES, I suggest that you look into the NEW digital magazine membership. $30 US for anyone -- in Canada, Great Britain, Japan, or the USA.
All you need is a credit card. No more high subscription rates for members outside of the USA.
That, by the way, is the reason for this original posting by Mercman From Oz.

V8 Times Cover - November-December 2021.
The Digital edition of the latest V8 Times is now available to Members.

Re: The Early Ford V8 Club of America - Application Form.
 

I have been a member of the EFV8 Club since it began in California in the early '70's.
From time to time I have let my membership lapse for no good reason. Time to renew again.

Re: The Early Ford V8 Club of America - Application Form.
 

I have just recently (5 years) realized the fun to be had with these cars. I am lucky to have quite a local club. As and Ts, not just V8s. I plan to join as there are many benefits. I have also started collecting old magazine issues pertinent to the auto hoard that I plan to acquire and restore. Thank you for the reminder.

A memory stick with all the issues of the Early Ford V8 Times from July/August 1965 to the end of 2017 is available from the Early Ford V8 club. It takes up much less space than magazines.

Re: The Early Ford V8 Club of America - Application Form.
 

There's a digital-copy-only membership option now available as well which avoids the ever-increasing cost of mailing the hard copies outside of the U.S. for $30 (US).

Nov-Dec V8 Times Cover opened out full for great Christmas Photo.
If you are not a Member, what is stopping you from joining up?
Why not shout a Membership as a Christmas Present to a good friend.

Re: The Early Ford V8 Club of America - Application Form.
 

The magazine is worth the membership fee, but that doesn't even start to compare to the good times to be had at the national meets and tours. i have driven my '50 Rouge sedan in all lower 48 states since 2013, and without this club, I may not have gotten into more than 5.

It is not very often the Cover Photo spreads over the Front and Rear Covers of V8 Times. Here is the Cover of the May/June 1970 Issue.

Here is another Double Cover - This time the Jan/Feb 1970 issue of V8 Times.
These are great magazines to read.
Think about a Gift Subscription to a friend or loved one this Christmas.

How good is this Double Cover shot on the November/December 1990 issue of V8 Times, showing a group display of Early Ford V8's at a National Meet in Charlotte.
You only have a few days left before Christmas to purchase that Gift Membership to the Early Ford V8 Club of America.
It is a great Club to belong to. Why not join up today?

Re: The Early Ford V8 Club of America - Application Form.
 

I believe the photo is ALL 1940 Ford Motor Company vehicles. It was the 50th Anniversary of the 1940 and was the theme of the Meet.
I am pretty sure that a gentleman by the name of Dennis Carpenter, had something to do with it.
