EFV8 Club 2025 Central National Meet
 

Full registration forms are now available for the Early Ford V-8 Club 2025 Central National Meet to be held June 22-26 in Springfield, Illinois. Please visit the meet website at https://2025cnm.com for forms, the meet schedule, and much more information.

Early Ford V-8 Club meets are as much a family reunion as a car show. Quite a few barners are already registered. We hope many more of you will join us where Historic Route-66 meets the Land of Lincoln.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

2025 Central National Meet - Springfield, Illinois

Re: EFV8 Club 2025 Central National Meet
 

I'm not sure if I could find my way there or afford the gas.

Re: EFV8 Club 2025 Central National Meet
 

Seth, you could push your car there!��

Re: EFV8 Club 2025 Central National Meet
 

I'm just going to hold the map up in front of me. It will be downhill all the way. I'm going to coast there. (and not use a trailer like 11 years ago)

Now, getting home will be another problem. I will have all that extra luggage.

Re: EFV8 Club 2025 Central National Meet
 

Take care using that method, as it may prove to be difficult to see oncoming traffic.
...And I've found that when I give that task over to Juanita, every destination is North.

Re: EFV8 Club 2025 Central National Meet
 

I really just hand the map over to the lady sitting next to me on the seat.
Her nickname is Crash, after that incident at Charlotte in turn 4 several years ago. (a birthday gift she will never forget)

She hasn't hit the wall since.

Re: EFV8 Club 2025 Central National Meet
 

Several years ago? That’s ancient history!

Re: EFV8 Club 2025 Central National Meet
 

Ken,

Thank you for all of your hard work in preparing / hosting this meet.

I’m registered & paid up already.

I’ll be spending the next few months doing some prep work on the Merc.

Re: EFV8 Club 2025 Central National Meet
 

Ken, This would be our first V8 meet, let alone a national meet. Therefore there are a few questions: On the registration form, the line for one show vehicle ($70), in the total column it lists PAID... ?

Secondly, we did not see cost or any hotel contact information. Both my wife and I look forward to such a well organized event. See you there.

Re: EFV8 Club 2025 Central National Meet
 

Tom,

Thank you for your post! We had a mistake on the website - the form was intended for those who had already paid for an early registration. We have updated the correct form showing the $70 registration fee.

We have also added a note to the "About" page to show the meet rate at the hotel of $139 plus tax per night. We provide contact information and the hotel code to use with all paid registrations.

We sure hope you register - we are looking forward to meeting you. Are you bringing the Mercury?

Ken

Re: EFV8 Club 2025 Central National Meet
 

Redneck, we always look forward to seeing Barbara. You too!

Ken

Re: EFV8 Club 2025 Central National Meet
 

Yep, We plan on binging the Mercury. Good to talk to you, I went with a phone call as the computer was exceptionally slow this morning. Goes along with living in the sticks, no good Wi-Fi.

Re: EFV8 Club 2025 Central National Meet
 

Looking forward to Springfield! Since it is the year for the 1950 Ford recognition, My son, grandson and myself will be there with 3 1950 Fords!

Thanks to the Bounds!

Re: EFV8 Club 2025 Central National Meet
 

Cecil, we are only bringing two 1950 Fords - Crestliner and Convertible.

See you there!

Ken

Re: EFV8 Club 2025 Central National Meet
 

James R, your forms are in the mail.

Re: EFV8 Club 2025 Central National Meet
 

I would like to nominate this particular thread to be a “Sticky” so it’s always near the top of the Early V8 discussion thread.

Re: EFV8 Club 2025 Central National Meet
