The Executive Board of the Early Ford V-8 Foundation Museum (EFV8) is pleased to announce the appointment of Robert (Bob) Rathgaber as Interim Executive Director of the Early Ford V-8 Foundation Museum. Bob will oversee daily operations, as well as pursue grants, sponsorships, and cooperative educational programming.
Mr. Rathgaber has served two terms as a Board Trustee and brings more than 30 years of professional experience in the collector car marketplace.
We welcome Bob to our management team as we continue to expand engagement with our mission of sharing the Early Ford V-8 story.
The Early Ford V-8 Foundation and Museum is a 501(c)(3) educational organization located in Auburn, Indiana, just off I-69 at Exit 326. The Museum is dedicated to sharing the historical impact Henry Ford and the Ford Motor Company had on the United States—and indeed the world—with a special focus on the Flathead years of 1932–1953.
We invite you to stop by, say hello to Bob, and view these beautiful automobiles in person. While nothing replaces experiencing these remarkable machines up close, you can also explore the collection online at:
