members only password change
January 20 - With the arrival of the latest Restorer magazine, the password to the MEMBERS ONLY area has changed. You can find the credentials on Page 1 in the lower right corner.
What we're doing at PHS
January 15 - In 2016, we formed the Pasadena High School Model A Club, which was not easy due to those stuck on the question Why? instead of Why Not? People raised issues ranging from liability to teen pregnancies, to potential fights and kids having no interest in old cars.
Well we're proud to report that our starry-eyed students have become perfect examples of students growing into the Model A hobby.
We have the videos to prove it. Just open your computer or mobile device and watch Video 1 and Video 2. To learn more about our raffle of a Model A restored by our students, check out our website or contact Wilbert Smith, technical advisor

January Restorer Magazine
January 11 - Wondering why you haven't received your Jan/Feb Restorer? This is the case with every January/February issue, to allow people until the end of December to renew their membership before the presses roll.
The printer is planning to mail the January/February issue on January 14. Once people start receiving their new issue, the webmaster will change the 2020 "members only" password to the new one printed on Page 1.
MAFCA Office Closed
January 5 - California is going through a serious increase in COVID-19 cases. Orange County, where our office is located, has issued another “Stay at Home” order. “Orange County residents will continue to be required to stay at home as much as possible and not gather with other households to reduce exposure due to our region’s available intensive care unit (ICU) capacity being under 15 percent.”
Until ICU capacity increases to over 15%, MAFCA will be operating remotely. Additionally, our staff has been restricted due to exposure to COVID-19.
Please be patient with us. It may take a while for us to get you the answers you wish or provide the orders you have placed in our store. We ask your indulgence. Hopefully, by the end of January, things will be better. We will let you know.
Thanks.
Bill Truesdell
2021 President

Paint and Finish GUide Revision 4
December 10 - The new Model A & AA Paint & Finish Guide is the 4th edition of this valuable reference. This is a must have book to guide you in the finishing of your Model A or AA. The text has been updated and some illustrations are now in color to enhance the details.
The paint chip section has had an extensive upgrade with the paint chips size increased to approximately 2" x 4" with only 4 colors per page. This greatly enhances usefulness of the colors for comparison and for scanning. This much-improved edition includes larger color samples remastered to original Ford colors. This is the definitive work that captures how a Model A should be painted. Book is available in the MAFCA Store. Order yours TODAY.
