The Early Ford V-8 Club of America was founded in San Leandro, California in 1963. Originally the club recognized only the 1932-1940 Fords. Recognition of the 1941-1948 Fords came about in 1973.

In 1982, there was full recognition of all Ford Motor Company vehicles 1932 through 1953. This included Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, commercial vehicles, tractors, as well as other Ford powered vehicles built around the world.

Today, as the premier Marque Club of our represented vehicles, with membership of 11,431 and 125 active Regional Groups worldwide, we are dedicated to the restoration and preservation of all Ford Motor Company vehicles, 1932 through 1953.
