Please NOTICE... we will be returning to Downey!

Long-time members Vicki and Mike Spearman have graciously secured a venue for our club's meeting at 24 Hour Real Estate.

Vicki, a real estate agent in Downey, has kindly offered her office’s conference room.

We invite you to join us at the June meeting to see the venue firsthand.

24 Hour Real Estate is at 8635 Florence Avenue, just west of Lakewood Blvd. The driveway to a well-lit, video-monitored parking lot is on the building's west side. From the parking lot entrance, access the second floor via elevator or stairs. The office is near the elementary school where our pre-COVID meetings were held.

In July 1927, a pivotal moment in automotive history unfolded as Ford Motor Company made the bold decision to halt production of the legendary Model T to make way for its eagerly awaited successor—the Ford Model A. This transition was not just a simple upgrade; it marked a revolutionary shift in design, performance, and consumer expectations. While the public held its breath, Henry Ford and his team spent months retooling factories and perfecting the new model. Though the Model A wouldn't officially debut until December, July was a month of feverish activity and whispered speculation, as dealers, workers, and enthusiasts alike anticipated what Ford’s next chapter would bring. This mid-summer pause in production symbolized the end of an era and the dawn of a new automotive age.
