Do they have any event that is open to the public ie. non EFV8 members?

[mfirth]

69a, I don't know about events, but I do know that the EFV8 times magazine itself is well worth the $35/year ......

Concourse day, in this case June 15th, when the entered vehicles are judged, is effectively open to the public.

Just curious why you would not want to join the V-8 Club and receive the magazine? You don't need to go to meetings or do anything else other that wait for the mailman to bring you the magazine. There are other benefits like being able to attend all the events at meets and the magazine has sources of parts and technical advice for your car. There is also the advantage of receiving the magazine on-line.

The swap meet is open as well as any outside activities. Some special trips and the banquets are only for members who sign up (and pay).

The swap meet would be open to the public to walk through and make purchases, but normally you must be a registered member of the V8 Club to rent a space in the swap meet and to sell.
The public could also walk the hotel parking lots to view the vehicles any day during the meet in addition to the day of concourse. However, there are many vehicles that remain in trailers during these meets, only to be seen during the day of concourse, and then put back in their trailers.

Tom,


And you don't even have to wait for the mailman as membership includes both a hard copy and a digital copy of the magazine.

Dave, best bargain in the magazine world.

What hotel is the "Headquarters Hotel"?

[mercman from oz]

V8 Times Magazines are a great read.
Why not join the Early Ford V8 Club today?

[mercman from oz]

To answer guy1unico's question, the Headquarters Hotel for the 2023 Grand Nationals is the Double Tree by Hilton, located on Ford Road, next to M-39, the Southfield Free-way.

Yes Lawrie, many do not drive their cars to these meets, but for us, that's a big part of the fun of owning these old Fords.

PS.....I signed up for this meet some time ago, and l am definitely looking forward to attending.

If you don't drive, you don't get the "I Drove" license tab. I have 2 different ones on my 1949 Ford front license. 2008 and 2018.

Where were you in 2013, Lake Tahoe?

In 2013, I was on a bucket list check off -- drove to Iowa, got on the California Zephyr and enjoyed our time traveling west and back.
I was also documenting the travels of the East Coast caravan on the EFV-8C web site Forum, as supplied to me by the leader of the caravan.
Back to the roots -- 2013 Lake Tahoe. Great time, beautiful scenery with great Early Ford V-8 members.

Didn't say I got a license tab for driving to Iowa and riding Amtrak. I didn't even get my Junior Amtrak Engineer pin.
But they did do a good job of keeping your vehicle safe in a fenced in area.

There wasn't a license tab for driving to Iowa? Like John, I have a 2013 tab on my '50 Convertible. Just didn't drive quite as many miles as John did.
