President Harvey Hack

Harvey is employed part-time as a NG Fellow at Northrop Grumman Corp where he is a materials specialist with an emphasis on corrosion control underwater. He previously served as President of GBMAFC a few years ago and has held several other offices in the Club. He is a past President or Chairman of the Board of several professional societies: NACE International (corrosion specialists), ASTM International (writes standards), and the Council of Engineering and Scientific Specialty Boards (accredits certification programs). He bought a 1931 Slant Windshield Town Sedan in 1971 which he restored and now drives. His other hobby is building wooden ship models. He is proud to serve as President of GBMAFC.

Vice President Miguel Escobar

Miguel's family has loved Fords for multiple generations. His grandfather drove a 1920 Model T (he has an old picture showing his grandfather and father out hunting in their Model T). His father always drove Fords, early in his career he took a job as a sales rep and drove a 1931 Model A Victoria for many years. Miguel's mom bought new a 1955 Ford station wagon that is still in the family. Miguel's older brother restored it to pristine condition in the early ‘90s and enjoys driving it with his family. Miguel's younger brother has a beautifully restored 1930 Model A Phaeton Deluxe Model 180 along with a variety of other antique automobiles. Miguel is a late bloomer having bought his first Model A, a 1929 Sports Coupe, in Hershey in 2023. Miguel has had a lot of fun tinkering with this car, but it has been even more enjoyable to belong to the GBMAFC and be part of the special camaraderie this club offers. He is honored to follow Andrew as a club VP and hopes to pay back the support and friendship this club provides.

Secretary BARBARA LOHORN

When I met my late husband, Ken Lohorn, in high school, Ken was already a Model A enthusiast and a member of MAFCA. Many of our dates concerned Model A parts, selling Model A parts at flea markets, and Henrietta, his 1929 sport coupe. We joined in the mid 1990's. Around 2000, he built from scratch a 1930 Model A Huckster, which I named Jeannette. I am currently retired from the legal profession, and hope to be driving Jeannette soon.

Treasurer Joe Candella

Joe became interested in the Model A world in 2020. After looking at many various types of Model A cars, he determined that he would be most comfortable in either a Tudor or Fordor Sedan. In 2021, Joe purchased his March 1928 Tudor…dubbed Ernest.

When Joe joined GBMAFC the club meetings were virtual, and the first time he was able to meet members in person was at a Spring Workshop in 2022. Ernest was not running well, so he trailered his car to the workshop. Even before the car could be unloaded, several members of the club began to diagnose the engine. After 30 minutes, a new distributor rotor was installed, and the engine has never run better. That is the true spirit of the club…”members helping other members”.

Joe is also a member of the MARC Touring Class Committee. He has attended the 2023 and 2024 National Meets. Joe and his wife Beth have recently retired and are looking forward to attending future Model A events, and participating in future Model A tours.

Coming Soon

Activities Steve Meyer

Steve was first introduced to the Model A world through a high school friend at the 2010 annual AACA Hershey Meet. It was there that they both decided to delve into the world of Model A's. After a quick internet search we discovered the GBMAFC club. We attended our first meeting in November 2010 and were impressed with camaraderie and knowledge of the club. At that point he began his search for a suitable car in earnest. He found it in Sioux City Falls and had his 1929 fordor sedan delivered in early January. After a couple of years of major mechanical work and assistance from many club members it was finally deemed roadworthy. Since then it has been on many day and overnight trips with the club. Currently he is working on a late indented firewall 1931 Sedan Deluxe Delivery found rusting away in field in Dayton Md.

Membership Cindy Titus

I own a 1931 Model A Deluxe Coupe left to me by my father. I have enjoyed learning to drive it and work on it. My first long trip with the GBMAFC was the Marc Meet a few years ago.
