Hello 'Barners...

You can start making plans to attend the 2019 Central National Meet in Auburn, IN. It will be held Aug. 24th - Aug. 27th, 2019. Should be a great meet and a good time to check out the NEW Rotunda addition to the museum. They are now taking early registrations (save $$)! You can pay by check or credit card. Hotel information will be made available after you register.

Here is the link to get you started: http://www.2019cnm.com/

See you there!
Pat

I plan on attending. This has always been a well run event.

"Hotel information will be made available after you register."

Why is this? Hotel availability and cost have always been a factor for me when deciding whether to attend an event or not. I ask because this meet is right at my limit of travel, and I'd like to be able to consider all factors.

Tubman,
Plenty of motel rooms in Auburn. Rates are about $100. The V-8 club will probably get a special rate. Been there many times. Good place and a lot to see.

JM 35 Sedan · 08-22-2018, 10:37 AM

Thank you Pat. I'll be registering soon. Really enjoyed the last meet that was held there.

Looking forward to the Auburn Meet next year. I have a new job, so I hope I have time off to use. Here are some photos from Auburn, Indiana, Early Ford V-8 Meet in 2011.

As stated above...There are several nice hotels in Auburn. We are trying to achieve the lowest rates for our members. Rest assured...the rates will be lower than most national meets AND the quoted rates will most likely include a hot breakfast!! Our planning committee will be meeting next week in Auburn.

Hope to see you in Auburn next year!

Are any driving tours also going to be offered?

I went through Auburn after the Dearborn Meet two months ago. I got the "V-8 Foundation" rate at the Comfort Suites at around $100. Very acceptable accommodations. The best room I had on the whole trip. I had one of the suites so there was a lot of space. At this particular hotel, they were renovating the lobby, the pool, and the rooms (I asked a front desk worker if the stuff in my room was new because it was in such good shape, the answer was the TV was the only new thing and it was all being changed).

The Deusenberg dudes come through this town yearly and they like things nice, even if they have to use the Comfort Suites.

I have no part of organizing this event, but I guarantee there will be touring. Many cool things to see, and if you haven't already been there, the Mid America Windmill Museum in Kendallville is a hoot! Been there twice! The Air Zoo in Kalamazoo is as good as Wright-Pat or either Smithsonian. Gilmore is only about 30 min from Kalamazoo, about 1:30 from Auburn if I recall correctly.

Auburn is my favorite town to visit! I like that you can hear trains at any time of the day.

Cecil/WV · 08-23-2018, 08:26 AM

It's in the mail today!!

Jeff you are one good guy. I like how Auburn was on your way home from Dearborn. Home to D.C. via Dearborn and Auburn. That's fantastic.

As always, I look forward to some great times with good V8 friends.

VeryTangled · 08-23-2018, 06:17 PM

Sometimes I have memory problems, was there a pre-registration at Dearborn? I always get mixed up if I've registered or not.

Old Redneck · 08-24-2018, 04:06 AM

If I am alive I will be there. I have not decided which Junker we will be taken.

Jeff: Yes, there was early registration at Dearborn. Yes, you registered. You even paid! Your registration number is 36. What a coincidence!

TJ · 09-23-2018, 08:41 AM

I've already registered and just waiting for the other forms. This will be a "can't miss event" to see the new museum. Been to two Auburn meets and it's always a treat to come back.

VeryTangled · 09-23-2018, 10:10 AM

There were some cars/trucks at Auburn 2011 that are still on my mind... I'm looking forward to the reunion!

Cecil/WV · 09-24-2018, 08:04 AM

Looking forward to having my freshly restored "48 there!

JM 35 Sedan · 03-24-2019, 08:41 AM

Looking forward to attending the Early Ford V-8 Club's Central National Meet in Auburn, Indiana in 5 months. Get signed up folks, this is going to be a good one.

fordv8j · 03-24-2019, 10:43 AM

We're registered and ready to go; taking the 1938 deluxe coupe, touring class, hope to see a lot of our friends there

Are you planning to drive your 38 coupe to the meet?

Seth Swoboda · 03-25-2019, 08:59 AM

I'm gearing up for Auburn by rebuilding the rear end in my '47 tudor with 3:54 gears and a total transmission rebuild. I'm literally geared up for this years meet and some great touring! Sign up, look me up and we'll have a helluva good time.

JM 35 Sedan · 07-16-2019, 07:08 AM

Bttt as a reminder....see y'all in Auburn!!!

Old Redneck · 07-17-2019, 08:37 AM

I don't think I will have the 32 ready but trying. Still half to mount the fenders after they are painted. Every time I rush I usually screw up something. Also waiting for front fenders bolts to come in the mail. I need to repack the wheel bearings on the car trailer. I made a list what to do but it keeps getting longer.

Seth Swoboda · 07-17-2019, 04:48 PM

I'm already prepping myself for Auburn. Can't wait so see my V8 friends/family. It's become a yearly reunion.

TonyM · 07-17-2019, 05:13 PM

Auburn 2011.

Looking forward to this year's meet.
