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 Jims 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.

We hold most of our regular club meetings on the 3rd Sunday of each month at 1:30 PM. Our home base is VFW Post 8541, located at 2222 Austin HWY, San Antonio TX 78218. 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. 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 Jims 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 !

Dennis Harwell, is the current president of the Alamo A's Model A Ford Club of San Antonio. Back in high school, Dennis was bitten by the “Model A Bug”. He had several friends that had these magnificent cars. After attending the 8th Texas Tour in 1971, he decided that the Model A hobby was in his future. As time went along, he went to college, starting a career and family. Dennis joined the Alamo A’s in 1980 when he purchased his first Model A. Since then he and his family have made great memories and wonderful lifelong friends.

Over the years, Dennis has learned a lot from always helpful and experienced club members. Whether it is doing restoration work, a minor repair, planning a trip in the Model A or going to enjoy fellowship with other club members, he is now enjoying passing on his enthusiasm to old and new members alike. Anyone who cares for these magnificent vehicles is welcome to join. The annual dues are still only $20. Use the "Contact Us" tab to ask for more details and request an Alamo As membership application form.

You do not have to own a Model A to be a member but, when you see how much fun they are, you will want to get one. As a club member you will be in the company of enthusiastic people who have come to accept and enjoy this wonderful madness. If you feel like you might have the ”Ford Model A Bug”, don't suffer in isolation. Come join us and enjoy life with a whole bunch of friends who will be only happy to make a parking space in the Model A world for you. The Alamo A’s is not just a club about wonderful and historically significant vehicles. It is every bit as much about the group of people who love them.
