Regional Group 157 of The Early Ford V8 Club of America.

QLD Early Ford V8 Club Inc.

(1932-1972)

The Queensland Early Ford V-8 Club Inc. made its humble beginning on the 31st January 1976 with 10 dedicated V-8 Ford enthusiasts gathering under a high set home in Grovely. We have come a long way since then, with more than 100 members and a regular clubhouse! The club has constant involvement with the community, and through the efforts of its members has earned respect in the ‘OLD CAR’ movement.

Our club prides itself on being a welcoming and fun place where like-minded enthusiasts can come together and share their passion for Ford V8s! The club has boundless resources available to its members, which include workshop manuals and other technical guides, as well as local, practical acquired knowledge from its members and other business associates right across the state.

The objectives of the Club are:

To promote the restoration, use and exhibition of Ford Products from the years 1932-1972
To assist members in locating, restoring and maintaining their vehicles.
To encourage and sponsor social activities for members and their families.
To co-operate with other clubs and associations with similar aims.
