About the Club

The New Orleans Model A Club is a MAFCA-affiliated chapter serving the greater New Orleans metropolitan area. Our members share a passion for Ford's Model A automobile, produced from 1928 to 1931.

We are a welcoming group of enthusiasts at all levels — from first-time owners still learning the basics to seasoned restorers with award-winning cars. What unites us is the Model A itself: its simplicity, its character, and the satisfaction of keeping one running.

As a MAFCA chapter, we follow the club's national standards for judging and restoration while maintaining our own local identity and Southern hospitality.

MAFCA Membership

The New Orleans Model A Club is a proud chapter of the Model A Ford Club of America. National membership includes access to the Restorer magazine, technical support, and national events including the annual convention.
