Craig Floyd and Ron Stauffer of the Early Ford V-8 Museum in Auburn, Indiana,  entered the Sugar Valley Rally for the second year in a row. The duo was awarded “Rookie Team of the Year” in 2018 and they “hope to have another solid performance this year.”
The car they ran in the rally is Floyd’s personal vehicle, a 1946 Ford Coupe with a stock flathead V-8 under the hood. Aside from some minor suspension upgrades made for the rally, the car is nearly all original and aims to be a good representation of the vehicles at the museum.

The Sugar Valley Rally is an annual “precision timed event” in which participants pilot their antique vehicles (older than 50 years) nearly 400 miles through the North Platte Valley in western Nebraska, following a strict set of instructions. More information on the Rally can be found at SugarValleyRally.com.

We're NOT your typical Museum. We feature Flathead V-8 engines, transmissions, rear axles (many of them "cut-a-way" models showing the inner workings); two complete Ford V-8 Chassis: a 1940 Mercury and a running 1932; tons of memorabilia, service items, including test equipment and tools; a dashboard collection, carburetors, tires & rims, clocks for every early V-8 year; Schramm air compressors, showroom banners, advertising posters, even a Ford Model A Coupe to show the progress when the '32 V-8 came out, and on and on. All Genuine Ford. We've got enough Fantastic Ford items to keep you busy "exploring" for many hours. Our Reference Library is being organized with hundreds of books, manuals and Ford DVD videos. An irresistible mecca for the Ford V-8 enthusiast! And we're still adding to the collection.


The Early Ford V-8 Foundation Museum is not affiliated with the Ford Foundation, Ford Motor Company or the Henry Ford Museum. We are Ford enthusiasts wanting to tell the history of the Ford Motor Company for others to enjoy.
Under US tax law, contributions to the Foundation are normally tax-deductible. Contributors are urged to seek professional tax advice to ensure that their particular contributions meet the requirements for deductibility.
