Since this meet is the first MARC National Meet of the new millennium and in considera- tion of our theme “Y2K IN YOUR MODEL A”, we established an overall goal of making your experience here in Williamsburg, Virginia the most memorable possible. A number of individuals in our region have volunteered a significant amount of time and energy to accomplish this goal. A special thanks is extended to everyone outside our region who invested their time and energy in helping with this project. A number of major decisions were made by our board of directors to make this meet very special. First, the selection of the location of the meet host and overflow hotels within the colonial portion of Williamsburg was of major importance. This accomplishment provides everyone staying in the designated hotels the opportunity to enjoy the colonial ambiance of Williamsburg within a short walking distance of the hotels. Second, we decided that a very special raffle item would be desirable to commemorate the 2000 Marc National Meet. A fully restored 1928 Ford Model A Pickup Truck was selected; the first time a major item of this quality and value has been raffled off at a MARC National Meet. Third, our mandatory tour was carefully designed to use one of the most scenic roads in our country, the Colonial Parkway, connecting Yorktown and Jamestown via Williamsburg. There will be a minimum of stops and delays on the tour with a luncheon at our destination, the Carter’s Grove Plantation, which overlooks the beautiful and serene James River. And finally, a major high point of the meet will be the “Model A Day at Busch Gardens” beginning at 10:00 AM and including a buffet dinner within the park following the closing of the park to the general public at 6:00 PM. The MARC admission price is half the general admission price. Please stop by the hospitality area for light refreshments or if you have any questions regarding directions, dining suggestions, points of interest, etc. Also, if you require any additional information or assistance, feel free to stop any of our members who will be wearing distinctive polo shirts and badges. On behalf of the Colonial Virginia Model A Ford Region, we all hope you will have a most enjoyable stay with us. Sincerely, Barry R. Wise Chairman, 2000 MARC National Meet introduction 1 A Welcome Message From The Colonial Virginia Region THE COLONIAL VIRGINIA REGION welcomes each of you to the MARC 2000 National Meet and especially to Williamsburg, Virginia. We are pleased that you have chosen to join us at the first national meet of this millennium. We hope that your stay in Williamsburg and the surrounding areas will be a pleasant and interesting experience, one that you will remember many years into the future. As you will see during your stay here, there is much to see and do in “The Historic Triangle” comprised of Jamestown, Williamsburg and Yorktown. It was in this very triangle of the new world that our country and government actually began. The area is rich in history and has some of the best and most interesting colonial restorations that you will find anywhere. It is our sincere hope that, in addition to attending the various meet events, you will find time to drive your Model A Ford to some of the historical plantations and sites in and around Williamsburg-of particular interest is Yorktown Battlefield where our independence was won. This area has something of interest for everyone of all ages; history, science museums, beaches, theme parks and golf courses. Whatever your pleasure, it is nearby. Throughout the week you will be able to identify members of the 2000 MARC National Meet staff by their distinctive light yellow colored shirts. Please feel free to ask them for assistance on any matter for which you may need help. Again, I thank you for joining us and hope to meet each of you during your stay here. On behalf of all members of the Colonial Virginia Region, I wish you a pleasant fun-filled week and a safe journey home.

Some of these activities will be described in greater detail later in this Guide. Please note that there is a OWilliamsburg area map in the centerfold of this Guide which you should find helpful as you travel around the area. Also included is a map of the Colonial Williamsburg Visitors Center area which includes Commonwealth Hall (Hospitality Room) and the location of numerous events that will take place this week. One of the first questions that visitors often ask is “Where is the downtown area?” Well, you may be standing in it and not even be aware of it. There really is no “downtown” area in Williamsburg although if we were to designate such an area it would probably be Merchant’s Square across from
