The 1931 Model A Ford
Convertible Sedan

What is the A400 Group?

The A400 Group is an association of admirers of the 1931 Model A Ford Convertible Sedan. The A400 club was formed in the mid-1950’s and was chartered as a MAFCA Chapter in 1974. The group is spread across the USA and several other countries around the world. The club functions are to publish a newsletter, maintain an A400 web site and to sponsor seminars at get-togethers at both MAFCA and MARC meets. Our focus is to:

    • Collect and publish information on the A400.
    • To maintain a roster of all known owners.
    • To foster communication between A400 owners.
    • To communicate to all of our international members we offer language conversion. Click icon in upper right.
