The Danish Veteran Car Club runs the Danish Motorhistoric library and archive and from them I have been given a stack of leaflets and newsletters of "The Model T Ford Club of Southern California" from 1964-65.
At first I was a little reluctant, but what the heck - Always fun to browse through old club artifacts until I spottet a name: Bruce McAlley! One of the later founders of M*TFCA. MTFCA was formed in 1965 so these artifacts are pre-MTFCA.
Now I could expect the old Model T Ford Club of Southern California was still around and one of the chapters in MTFCA, but that does not seems to be the case.
Clubs comes and goes as a fact of life, so is The Model T Ford Club of Southern California just closed at some time or fusioned with another with another name for the combined club or has it just changed name?
Regarding the artifacts - I do probably not want to keep the stack. I have offered them to the museum, but they clain they already had them.

Re: The Model T Ford Club of Southern California
Maybe you should fly to SC to see if you can find their archives.

Re: The Model T Ford Club of Southern California
I belonged to that club for over 60 years. Had some great times and tours, and wonderful people. But, we are getting old, and many are not with us any more. I'm 82 now, and still playing with my three Model T's. We had our final meeting about a year and a half ago. For those of us that are still alive, we have moved over to the Horseless Carriage Club of Southern California.
