MTFCA Forum

The application process for the 2019 Old Car Festival opened this morning. I just submitted mine. These are the pictures I attached.


They say acceptance or denial notification will be in the second week of August, but if I remember correctly last year it turned out to be in early July.

Were you emailed an invitation, or did you apply off The Henry Ford's site?

I guess I will have to wait awhile this year. I have no sheetmetal on the TT for photos. Could be a few weeks as I am still down from surgery.

Dallas, are you OK?

Hank

Hank, I sure am. No more pain 24/7. Just need time to get to 100%. Doc did a good job far as I can tell, didnt even mess up my sun tan.

Glad to hear Dallas!

Hank

Steve, are you driving the T over again this year?

I hope you get accepted Steve.

My plan is to attend next year.

Hey Steve,

Those sure are funny looking cows in your first picture! Not anything like we have here in Ohio!

...are you driving the T over again this year?

Yep. I'm planning on it. I aim to do it without a major oil leak and rod failure this time. I also plan to start a day earlier and have some time for sight-seeing on the way.

Great photos! Cheers, Bill

I submitted the application, however there was no link or place to attach photos on the link. Maybe due to using iPad or for some reason the submit photo page had no information about attaching pics. I submitted the application and emailed photos of the cars, so we'll see what happens. Thank for posting this thread to allow us time to apply promptly.

I recieved the acceptance email today. We'll see you there!

What is the cut off to register? I will have the TT together next weekend for photos.

Mid-July, or when they reach capacity. You have time, Dallas.

Thanks Ed, see ya there!

I'd be absolutely flabbergasted if they did not accept Steve's, Rob's or Dallas's request.
You feller's go back and rock that place! Again.

I've added disk brakes to my '23 touring for safety. That feature specifically disqualifies my car yet they allow seat belts. Disappointed.....

I sent app for OCF with photos of the TT. Just waiting now.

I decided to apply with my '26 Fordor and was just notified that the car was accepted!

I just got in today, too. I only applied this week.

Applied and both my Model T and fire engine have been accepted. Looking forward to meeting as many forum members as i can instead of narrating the pass in review.

Any thoughts on having a sort of forum get together at the OCF?

It would be fun.

Hi Marty, Yes, a Forum gathering at the OCF would be fun! We had one organized by Rob a few years ago. I think it was at 4:30 or so and was held at the Eagle Tavern. By having it at 4:30, the Pass in Review was over and it was still before dusk when the Gaslight Parade starts.

What do you think?
Keith

Just got accepted.

Keith and all:

Well, let's try it.

I'm proposing a meeting on Saturday at 4 p.m. in the little plaza in front of the Ford Motor Company plant. Great background for a photo op.

(Should I start a new thread?)

Whaddya think?

Marty

I have only been to Dearborn a couple of times, but I know that The Henry Ford & Greenfield Village are surrounded by Ford plants. Maybe if you said which plant and what address you are referring to. Or are you talking about the replica Mack Ave plant inside Greenfield Village?

Hi Marty, That sounds good & Yes, I think it's best to start another thread. As Dave said above, please be specific for the location.
Thanks,
Keith
