24th All Ford Car Show and Swap Meet
Saturday, September 12th in Old Town Orcutt

          Over the last two decades, the All-Ford Car Show and Swap meet, held yearly in Old Town Orcutt, has raised over $100,000 for Allan Hancock College Industrial Technology and other local and national scholarships. The event, which draws hundreds of classic car aficionados, is Saturday, September 12th.

         The event will take place at Orcutt Union Plaza on South Broadway in Old Town Orcutt. “The car show is about more than classic cars.  It’s about bringing our community together to invest in the next generation,” said Jay McCord, the club’s car show chairman.   “Every scholarship awarded through this event helps students pursue their education and it’s incredibly rewarding to see so many of them go on to successful careers.”           
          The Santa Maria Model A Ford Club has supported Allan Hancock College’s auto body and automotive technology programs for decades.          
          The swap meet, which brings people from all over California, offers old Ford car parts. The swap meet begins at 7am with the car show running from 9am to 3pm.         
         There will be first and second place trophies in 13 classes.  The annual event offers music, raffle prizes, 50/50 drawings, and craft vendors. Non-food vendors are welcome.
         Any car “born a Ford,” according to McCord, is welcome to enter.   “We wish to thank our many sponsors who help provide scholarships.” Entry applications are available at santamariamodelaclub.com.
