The purpose of our Club is to promote the preservation,
restoration, and enjoyment of all Ford Motor Company
vehicles that were manufactured between 1932 and 1953
including Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, commercial vehicles,
tractors, and other Ford powered vehicles built around the
world utilizing the 4, 6, 8, and 12 cylinder engines produced
by Ford Motor Company.
Attend one of our club meeting and decide for yourself if
we are for you. We invite you to join our chapter and
explore The Early Ford V-8 Club. Dues are $30.00 a year.
You do not need to own a car to become a member.
Our application is located at the back of this newsletter
and on our webpage, www.earlyfordv8okc.com
Note- When you join the OKC Regional group, you will also
need to join the National Early Ford V-8 Club of America.

Tech Tips: Gas Tank Sediment
Taken from the August 1995 Flathead Times and originally
submitted by Francis Von Muller; Ford/Mercury Owners Magazine
Depending on the location of your drain plug, park your
car on a slope, so that the right or left front wheel is the
lowest. You can jack up the right or left wheel instead.
Unscrew the gas tank plug and let out about a pint or so of
gas. You will be surprised at the amount of sediment, rust,
and water will come out. Do this about once a year, being
careful with the gas.

Hello again! Are we ever going to have a club meeting
again? The answer is YES! We will have our scheduled
June 13th meeting, starting about 9am, at Ingrid's
Kitchen. So now you know the day, the time, and the place. It's
time to dust off your old Ford and make sure it will start. Check the
air in the tires. Get excited! I hope to see everyone's smiling faces
and shiny cars. Don't forget to bring any ideas for a future drive,
that you may have thought of during the quarantine. We will also
have the 50/50 drawing available. Who is going to be the lucky
winner this time?
I'm not sure what the social distancing rules will be at the time of
our meeting. We will all need to be considerate of others and
abide by the current rules for restaurants and Ingrid's Kitchen.
I hope to see everyone soon!
Thanks, Earl Claybaugh
New club directories were printed during this
pandemic break. They will be available at our
June meeting at Ingrid’s Kitchen.
This pandemic has been quite the gamechanger for every-
body. For some, the “shelter in place” has been quite nice
and peaceful. For others, just the opposite. It is looking like
everything is starting to cautiously open up. Grandchildren’s
sports are starting back up. Church buildings are opening
their doors. Won’t be long before this is just a memory.
“Drive your V-8 Ford Day”
As of this printing, parks have not opened for us to have our
annual picnic. This means, the club has no event planned for
“Drive your Ford V-8 Day”. That does not mean you cannot
get your old Ford out for a drive to a place of interest. If you
do get out, please take some pictures and send them along
with a short article to me at [email protected]. I will
be more than happy to publish any of those that you submit.
In fact, I would be thrilled! So please get those V-8 Fords out
for a well deserved drive. If anyone would like to get a small
group together for a drive that would be amazing.
President's Letter by Earl Claybaugh
Oklahoma has entered Phase 3 for opening the state. Under Phase 3, businesses may resume unrestricted staffing at their work sites by observing proper Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-recommended social distancing protocols and are recommended to continue increased cleaning and disinfecting practices.
Stay safe and stay well, Beth Plant, RN
