We needed a name for our chapter. Someone suggested \u201cYosemite Area A\u2019s\u201d. This became our first name.<\/p>\n<p>In a few short years we grew and became very active in local and national affairs. Our club name became important to identify with our area, therefore the name was changed to \u201cModesto Area A\u2019s\u201d. The Modesto arch with a Model A underneath became our club emblem.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/webdesignjustforyou.org\/modelaclub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/header21.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-285 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/webdesignjustforyou.org\/modelaclub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/header21-300x93.jpg\" alt=\"Modesto Area Model A Club Cars\" width=\"300\" height=\"93\" \/><\/a>Our club has always been very active. The first Northern California Model A Roundup was hosted by our club. We were the first to adopt and attractive emblem and club vests. Our annual swap meet in January continues to grow. It is considered to be one of the largest and better meets in the west.<\/p>\n<p>We have the first place winners in both car and fashions in local and national shows. We have had a national president and national board members. Our membership is made up from just about all vocations. The Model A brings everyone together with a common interest, so socially everything fits together as a family club.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/webdesignjustforyou.org\/modelaclub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/header31.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-286 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/webdesignjustforyou.org\/modelaclub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/header31-300x93.gif\" alt=\"Modesto Area Model A Club\" width=\"300\" height=\"93\" \/><\/a>The Modesto Area A\u2019s is a club made up of hard working family members devoted to the Model A Ford. Our membership continues to grow with good new enthusiastic members and with the solid dedication of the older members. The Modesto Area A\u2019s will always be a good strong organization.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[layerslider id=&#8221;1&#8243;] About Us In 1961 a small group got together to discuss the idea of forming a local Model A Chapter.
