The other day I was writing about Porsche's 60th birthday and now I'm extolling the 80th anniversary of the Ford Model A. What a difference 20 years made in the development of the automobile! To celebrate the Model A's birthday a number of owners around the world have declared Saturday, July 26, 2008 as International Model A Day. Thousands of Model A Ford restorers and preservers will be taking their cars for a drive, socializing with other enthusiasts and showing the world the car that replaced the Model T. Activities will be arranged by local clubs in all fifty states and some thirty other countries including Canada. Some will simply be driving to picnics or coffee meets; others will participate in shows and contests. Many are expected to coordinate their activities with local ford dealers. So wherever you are in this world, if you own a Model A or just enjoy seeing them, make a note of the date and be sure to celebrate one of the world's most-loved motor cars.

Hi Philip
How would you like to Celebrate 100 Year of the Model T at Ford’s Centennial Party in Richmond, Ind. later this month?
I work for Social Media Group and our client is Ford; we handle a lot of their social media events and projects (clever name, right?).
I would love to have you as our guest. If you are interested please contact me.
