Welcome to the High Desert A's

The High Desert A's of Central Oregon is dedicated to restoring and preserving Model A Fords, and to promoting this hobby throughout the region. We meet monthly in Bend, Oregon, and participate regularly in the regional meets sponsored by the Model A Ford Club of America (MAFCA). During the summer months we drive our restored vintage Model A's in various events including parades, short local tours, and longer tours to scenic locations in the Pacific Northwest. Go to our photo gallery to see pictures of some of these events and many of our members cars.

Meetings

During the months of September through January and March through May we meet at 7:00 PM on the second Tuesday of the month at the VFW Hall, 1503 NE 4th St., Bend, Oregon. Our February meeting is a special "Sweethearts Banquet" held at an area restaurant. During the summer months we meet at various times and days at members homes.

In addition to these formal meetings the men meet informally most Wednesday mornings at Jakes Diner, 2210 NE Highway 20, in Bend (near Costco). These gatherings are scheduled to start at 9:00 AM, but most participants arrive by 8:15. If you wait until 9:00 to get there you'll miss out on most of the great conversation!
