The Alamo As celebrates everything to do with the Model A Ford in San Antonio and South Texas. The club was formed in 1965 and is still going strong. Our main purpose is to keep the Ford Model A alive in San Antonio. These remarkable vehicles, produced for only four years between 1928 and 1931, were built in a large number of body styles and all are represented within the club. The "Alamo A's" is a remarkably busy group. We have around 90 members and own among us over 200 Model A Fords. We take part in tours, car shows, local cruises, and parades. We have regular monthly meetings and some of us also meet for breakfast at a Jim's restaurant every week. Anyone who owns a Model A, is thinking of getting one or simply enjoys what we think is one of the best automobiles ever built is welcome and encouraged to join us anytime.

The club's "home base" for meetings is the Shepherd King, 303 W. Ramsay, San Antonio, TX 78216. See the activity schedule on the home page for the date, time and location of our next meeting because we sometimes meet at other places or during a scheduled club event. Meetings are frequently followed by a short cruise to a local restaurant for a more relaxed get together, the "eating after the meeting," you might say. The club does not have a meeting in June, and in December we have a Christmas party instead.

If you want to hang out with fellow Ford Model A enthusiasts even more often - and who could blame you - you will find a fun bunch of Alamo A's members enjoying breakfast at the Jim's Restaurant just inside Loop 410 at Perrin-Beitel just about every Saturday throughout the year, except when there is another major club activity that day - and sometimes even then as well. Folks meet there before heading out to the activity together. The actual address is 2630 NE Loop 410, San Antonio TX 78218. Rain or shine, there is usually a good number of Model A Fords in the parking lot by 8 o'clock. Come join us !

Tom and wife Carol have owned Model As for about a decade. Their current Model a is a 1931 Slant Deluxe. This replaced a previous Model A sedan. Another of Tom's hobbies is flying RC (radio controlled) model aircraft. He is a local business owner/operator as well. He brings a great deal of knowledge, enthusiasm and organizational skills to the position of club president, a role he's held before at the club.

Here are a few words directly from Tom: "If you own a Model A Ford or you're just an admirer of what is often called the finest vehicle ever made in the USA, come join our club. The Alamo As club, which is now in its 61st year, was established and is still run by people who love Henry Ford's wonderful cars from the late 1920s and early 1930s. The club is one of the oldest, largest and most active in South Texas. We are mainly a touring club but we are also very good at helping each other keep these almost 100 year old cars running as if they were new."
