PURPOSE

The purpose of the MARC Mileage Program is to offer national recognition for all miles driven by MARC members in a Model A registered in the MARC Mileage Program. There is no intent to supersede or cancel any Regional or local driving programs now in existence; rather, the program seeks to further them by offering a driven-car recognition for all registered MARC vehicles.

GENERAL

All Model A’s owned by MARC members and registered in the MARC Mileage Program, and which meet the following standards, are eligible.

A.   Of original manufacture from 1927 through 1931.

B.   Titled or registered as a Model A in accordance with respective state requirements.

C.  Authentic in overall appearance, with a minimum of the following basic features:

1.   Model A or Model B type four-cylinder engine visually indistinguishable from the original Ford Model A or B engine produced from 1927 through 1934.

2.   Correct body style for year of manufacture.

REGISTRATION

1. A registration fee of $1.00 is required at time of vehicle registration and is good for as long as the owner is a member in good standing of MARC. If MARC membership is allowed to lapse, vehicle must be re-registered and the registration fee paid. Mileage reported during prior MARC membership may be carried forward.
2. The Mileage Program Chair shall maintain a copy of the original registration as a permanent record for each vehicle registered and receiving recognition.
3. Upon the death of a registered owner, the vehicle’s registration in the mileage program may be transferred to a surviving spouse without re-registering the vehicle or paying a fee. However, if the vehicle passes to another relative (son/daughter/brother/sister, etc.) or other individual, that person must have a MARC membership and the vehicle must be re-registered and the registration fee paid.
4. A vehicle transferred to another MARC member who re-registers the car may maintain its reported mileage award level and continue eligibility for further awards.
5. REGISTRATION FORM

RULES FOR MILES DRIVEN

1. No mileage driven prior to vehicle registration shall be credited.
2. No mileage shall be credited for any period of time that the owner is not a member of the Model A Restorers Club.
3. Only ground mileage is creditable. No mileage may be credited for a vehicle trailered or in tow.
4. Mileage to be credited must be attested by vehicle owner (if Unaffiliated) or regional mileage coordinator (if a member of a MARC region).
5. All credited mileage is cumulative from year to year and to each higher award level.
6. Mileage does not have to be updated every year to maintain eligibility.
7. The MARC Mileage Program Chair is the final authority on mileage credit and awards.

NATIONAL AWARDS

1. Award recognition begins at 2,000 miles; the second award level is 5,000 miles; and subsequent levels are at each additional 5,000 miles thereafter.
2. A radiator plaque is awarded with the first mileage level, and a replacement mileage tab is awarded thereafter.
