Welcome!

The Plain Ol’ As are a group of nice folks involved in the preservation and enjoyment of the Ford Model A automobile.  Membership offers opportunities to learn how to keep your vehicle in good working order, give you an excuse to get it out on the road, or just hang around with other folks silly enough to own these things! 

For more info about the Plain Ol’ As, click on the About Us Link.  Or tour our Activities pages to get an idea of some of the things we like to do.   You can also visit our Gallery, featuring photos of some of our members and (more importantly) their vehicles.

 We’re glad you stopped by, so slide behind the wheel and take our website for a spin!

Rounded Rectangle: This Month in History 
June 6, 1932: As part of the Revenue Act of 1932, Congress levied a tax on gasoline for the first time ever.  From then on, each gallon of gasoline and fuel would cost an extra penny.  Today, we pay the feds 18.4 cents per gallon for the privilege of putting it into our tank  (and an additional 24 cents to the state—17 cents in Missouri.
