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.

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

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.

Ken

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
