EARLY FORD V-8 CLUB MOHAWK VALLEY REGION #59
Celebrating 50 years, 1973 – 2023!
Many of the founding members of the 59th Region were air force personnel stationed at Griffith Air Force Base in Rome, NY. Glenn Anderson served as the first president. Ray Beebe is the current President-Emeritus. Arel Brown is President.
Our club hails from the Mohawk Valley
in east-central New York State.
The Mohawk River runs between the Adirondack Mountains to the north and the Catskills to the south; from Rome to Utica, forming a large valley before it flows on to Albany, where it joins the Hudson River.
We have about 50 members. Most live in or around the valley, within a 60 mile radius; but members hail from as far north as Watertown, and as far south as Binghamton, NY.
