Submitted by: David Volosin On Saturday, September 13th, the Model A Ford Club of New Jersey celebrated International Model A Ford Day with a tour and some local town drive throughs highlighting the event. Seven cars, 9 adults and two kids had a ball as we traveled the countryside and surprised a few local towns blowing our “ahooga” horns. Noone got arrested. On the tour we visited Kinnelon, Fayson Lakes, drove through Rockaway Valley, Denville Center and the Town of…

Submitted by Richard Smith We held the 2025 Gymkhana July 13th at the Pochuck Valley Farm Market and Deli. Terri and I arrived early enough to enjoy their ham, egg and cheese sandwiches before setting up for the games. The venue is excellent as it includes a nice shade tree and the grassy area avoids the summer heat of pavement. Five participants who brought their Model A’s included Jeff Vanderhof, John Morgan, Jim Dunlap, Ken Potts, and Richard Smith. Vinnie…

BY: JEFF VANDERHOFF It was a beautiful day for a parade. The sun was shining and the temperature was perfect!! Brian and RonDee Lockwood asked Jeff to oversee their parade plans. Brian and RonDee had all the plans worked out in advance which made it very simple. We met at our usual spot and participated in the Newton Memorial Day Parade. Unfortunately, we did not have a big show of cars. During the parade, there were many spectators there who…

We had a beautiful day for our tour which began at the Dunkin donuts in Denville on Sunday, May 18th. Eight Model A’s and one Pontiac departed, traveling through Parsippany, Mor-ris Plains and Morristown. The route took us along the quiet country roads of Harding Township and then downtown Madison making our first stop at Rusty King’s, a past member of our club. Rusty has an overwhelming collection of player pianos and juke boxes. The pianos are coin operated for…

There isn’t much that can be said about this event that hasn’t already been said. The weather was spectacular considering 24 hours earlier it was snowing. The fire was almost smokeless and a pleasure to watch. The selection of firearms available for our shooting pleasure was more than adequate and the food was not only plentiful but delicious. The cabin in the woods was again the perfect place for us to gather and enjoy the great outdoors with all of…

Tis’ the season for the installation banquet/holiday party. It was a wonderful event at Perona Farms. The food was delicious and the company couldn’t have been any better. We swore in the existing officers for a second term. Thanks to everyone who has helped this past year. We had some fun with a gift exchange. We also had a successful fundraiser to help with the restoration of the firetruck.

Mother nature can be very deceiving at times. One day before our food drive, she dropped 9” of snow in the Sussex County area. Twenty miles south from my home, there was not a trace of snow. Although the rain and snow was much needed, it did not stop the 14 members from coming out and supporting our cause of donating food to the Wayne Interfaith Food Pantry. We also had members that did not come but still donated food.…
