The Forties Limited car club of Orange County has been presenting this Forty Ford Day Show for 35 years and they are very proud of their “Dedication to the Preservation and Maintenance of Forty Ford Motor Cars”.

   Early on the morning of June 26, over 100 Forty Fords started arriving at La Palma Park. Club members guided the hot rods into position with Forties on one side of the park and the rest of the cars on the other side.  Along with the Forties, all pre-’68 makes and models are welcome. The total car count was over 250. For those early risers, the club had a booth of coffee, baked goodies and at lunch they have a great hot dog & hamburger barbeque.  Also on-hand was an exhibit of 10-15 very interesting Whizzer motorbikes.

   Forties Limited proudly supports Children’s Hospital of Orange County.
