Please NOTICE... for our June meeting, 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 June 1929, Ford made a significant move in the automotive world with the introduction of the Ford Model A, a car that would become one of the most influential vehicles in history. The Model A was a complete redesign after the success of the Model T, offering improved style, power, and comfort. It was a major step forward with a more modern, streamlined design and a new, more powerful engine. By June 1929, the Model A was quickly becoming popular across the United States, with production ramping up and new features such as hydraulic brakes, a fully enclosed body, and a more refined interior. This was also around the time when Henry Ford’s innovations in assembly line production made the Model A more affordable for the average American family. The Model A symbolized the end of the Model T’s reign and marked the beginning of a new era in automotive design and manufacturing. Production of the Model A peaked at 9,200 cars per day in June 1930. The Model A was also the first Ford to feature the blue oval logo.
