Fequently Asked Questions
________________________________________
Q. I would like to bring my dog -- are dogs allowed?
A. Small, friendly dogs are allowed, but they must be leashed or left inside the vehicle (with open windows and water, of course). Owners of large or intimidating dogs will be asked to leave if there are any complaints or incidents. If you have a large or intimidating dog, for the safety and enjoyment of other participants and spectators, please leave them at home or with a caretaker.

Q. I plan to be a show spectator, can I get in for free?
A. Yes and No. Show admission is free to spectators. However, the most convenient parking available is in the main entrance of Knott's Berry Farm, (Southbound Beach Boulevard across Beach Boulevard from the show) and the parking fee is approximately $10 (subject to change without notice). If that lot is full, there are other Knott's lots that may require you to pay the same fee. Spectator hours are 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Q. I will be participating in the show this year. What time is it over? When can we leave?
A. The scheduled time of show end is 3:00 p.m. -- but do not leave until all ceremonies are offically concluded -- whichever is later. If you expect to not be able to stay all day, please do not enter your car. Please keep in mind that leaving the show early is a safety hazard because of the number of spectators present. Please listen for any possible announcements about delays in show closing or vehicle exiting routes. We ask that all participants cooperate with us to allow for a safe exit, after 3:00 p.m. or when it is announced.
Please remember -- no burn-outs! There will be police at all exits. Drive slowly and safely at all times for the safety of the spectators and pedestrians. If you must leave early, please locate a show staff person at the stage area to be escorted to the appropriate exit.
If you feel you might expect to have to leave before the official end of show, please do not participate.

Q. I have heard that the new water park at Knott's has reduced the amout of space for the Fabulous Fords Forever show. Will the show be a sell-out?
A. Yes, but we are squeezing-in as many Fords as possible, but we expect the show to continue to be a sell-out before the registration deadline. Please mail your registration early to not be disappointed. There will be no on-site registrations regardless of any no-shows -- no exceptions. If you don't pre-register, you are welcome to enjoy the show as a spectator, and plan in advance for the following year. If you mail your registration after we have sold-out, your money will be returned by mail. If you also ordered discount Knott's tickets when you mailed your registration, that money will be returned also, however you can purchase tickets at the registration area the morning of the show (available tickets are limited).

Q. Does registration for the Fabulous Fords Forever car show include admission to Knott's amusement park?
A. No. The show is in the parking lot surrounding the North and East sides of Independence Hall and thus admission to the theme park or the water park is not required (nor included). The water park is only open during the summer.
However, if you wish to enjoy Knott's theme park, discount tickets are available via mail to both spectators and participants by using the discount ticket order section of the registration form. Tickets purchased by mail are good any one day starting from March 26 through the end of May. For pricing and additional information, please see the registration form.
________________________________________
Q. If rain is forecast for the show date, is there an alternate "rain date" scheduled?
A. No. Fabulous Fords Forever will proceed -- rain or shine! Us Ford lovers will not be stopped by Mother Nature (slowed-down, maybe; but not stopped).

Q. I sent my check for Knott's Tickets along with my vehicle entry several weeks ago, but the check has not yet cleared the bank and I haven't gotten the tickets yet. Is there a problem?
A. Not likely. But please be patient. We get hundreds of registration forms at a time and they don't always get processed immediately. We also process them in batches so, yours may not be in the same batch as a friend who mailed his at the same time. Once registration confirmation cards are printed, the first batch of those goes in the mail about the first of March. In addition, the discount Knott's tickets are sometimes processed and mailed separately.
________________________________________
Q. Can I register online or by phone with a credit card?
A. No. Please register only by mail by completing the registration form and enclosing a check or money order made payable to "Fabulous Fords Forever."
________________________________________
Q. I want to register more than one vehicle for the show -- do I need a separate form for each vehicle?
A. Yes. Please download the registration form and print as many copies as you need. Or simply photocopy the form you received by mail or fax (most fax machines or home scanners have a "copy" function). You can send all entries in the same envelope and pay with one check if you wish; just make sure you apply the appropriate postage. If you have friends who need a registration form, please make photocopies of both sides and pass them along. There are no quantity discounts.
