We’re getting ready for our 2019 National Meet in Springfield, Missouri! Just imagine the beautiful showfield filled with ’62-’76 Fairlanes, Torinos, Cyclones, Thunderbolts, Talladegas, wagons, Hipos, sports coupes, sedans and hardtops, Concours restorations and diamonds in the rough—roaring reds, glorious yellows, brilliant blues, sparkling whites, and all the golds, greens, burgundies and blacks shining in the late June sun! How could you miss this?!

We’ll be at The Dayton University Marriott, June 28-29, 2019. Our FCA rate at the Marriott is $120+tax per night. To reserve a room, please call 973-223-1000. Request the Fairlane Club of America rate, available 6/23-7/6. 

It’s important that you pre-register if at all possible. Our Club Room, with Registration, Raffles, Club Store and more, is staffed by your fellow members (and You!), volunteers—who are also at the National to enjoy being on the showfield, visiting with fellow enthusiasts, and participating in any of the activities available to you. That means our Club Room hours are flexible, dependent upon staffing. You can save both your time and the volunteers’ for the fun stuff by pre-registering for the show. Make sure you have identified your Class, and send your form and payment to the FCA Office (in Texas) to arrive by June 10. Or try our new registering found in the upper-right of this page. Plan on doing your part to help make this the very best show yet. It’s a great way to meet more of your fellow Fairlaners.

Car registering:

Choosing a class: Most cars will enter Participant-Voted classes. If your car is not being entered in the Original or Concours judged classes (see the judged class requirements on the Club’s website under Archives), begin with the “S” classes. If your car does not fall into one of the “S” classes, go to the “Y” class list and find the correct designation for your vehicle there. Fill in the red portion of the pre-registration form ONLY if your car is being submitted for the “C” or “O” judged classes.

Swap meet vendor area:
The swap meet area is open to all members and included with your National Meet registration fee. You must be a member to sell including business type vendors. All members participating at the National Meet either pay $20 or $25 with car after 6/10/20 or $10 or $15 without after 6/10/19. The swap meet area is open to paying members of these two options.

Youth Judges:
Calling all kids ages 6-14 (limited to first 15) to come out and judge 5-6 vehicles on show day! You will receive a T-shirt, hat, badge, score card and pen. Hagerty Insurance Company is sponsoring this free event. Judging will last approximately 90 minutes. The Youth Judges will then present their awards at the Awards Ceremony Saturday night. This will be a fun way to introduce our youth to the hobby and judging system. Pre-registration is required but if there are still openings left on June 10th, you are more than welcome to sign up by 9:30am in the Club Room at the Registration table.

Fun stuff:

Don’t forget to pick up a non-perishable item or two from your hometown for our National Grocery Guess. Bring a slip noting the price paid for your item(s). If your county or state is famous for a product, bring one!
