Finding local A people

driving around your area as much as possible is good, as is parking it occasionally where people can see it.

put a "Model A people wanted" posting in the nearest CraigList and another on Facebook Marketplace. Craiglist traffic seems to be dropping off but FaceBook is very busy.
 
Try putting a sign in your window with your contact info. Worked for me. My town only has me and a couple of others. Would see them around, but never was able to catch up with them, or find them with their cars when parked downtown. Put a sign in my window and parked downtown, and one of them contacted me.



They are now good friends.
 
80 miles isn't that far to drive once. 1. Find out when the club meetings are and drive there Meet some new friends, exchange contact info etc. 2. Repeat at the other club meeting.

You will probably find several Model A owners pretty close to your home.

Take a map and draw circle with a 15 mile radius from your house and I'd almost guarantee at least one other owner. The insurance companies make everyone keep them out of sight.
Or park yours out in the driveway and see if anyone stops. Two guys stopped to look at mine when I lived in NJ.

I have never heard that the insurance companies make people keep their A out of sight. Please enlighten us!
 
Yup, just park it somewhere public and talk to people. Parades also work great (well, at least before 2020). In just my small town of ~2,500 people I know of at least 10 Model A's among 5 owners.

Somewhere in your policy, it says that the car must be kept in a locked barn, garage, etc. There are actually a lot more cars around than anyone knows about for this reason. And it just makes good sense to keep them out of sight. Also, this is where the "barn finds" come in.
