Default Any Fellow Model A Clubs or enthusiasts in Riverside California???

Me and a fellow Model A friend were wondering about how many Model A enthusiasts and or Clubs that may be in or close to Riverside California.
It would be Great to share various Ideas, Stories, Helping/Repairing and going on Outings occasionally.

Paradise Valley model A club looks to be the closest to you, they are in Rialto, next nearest is the Pomona Valley As in Upland, I believe you will enjoy club membership, I belong to the Palomar As club in north county San Diego, a great group, lots of help and friendship.
Regards Brian.

Orange Co A's pancake breakfast, coming up, is always a good place to make contact with anything 'Model A'. Sometimes nearly 300 A's and owners. April 26.
As noted, Paradise Valley A's, swap meet, Devore, September.
Web sites for both of these. Just opinion...

Do any of you folks know of a model a parts store that was (or still ) in business in Lake Elsinore? I forgot their name and was wondering if they are still there.

Thanks,
Dino F.

Dino,

That store was owned by Mr. Perez (can't remember his first name). He sold the store to Sammie who moved the business to Arizona. It is now known as Arizona Model A.

Mr Perez lives south of Lake Elsinore in Widomar and restores Model A Woodies. I see him occasionally at some of the swap meets like the Big Three Swap Meet in San Diego.
