What a Wonderful 82nd AACA Annual Meeting!
|
Even an extra 3 million people in the city of Philadelphia on Thursday could not stop the AACA Annual Meeting! The Eagles Super Bowl Parade may have delayed the arrival of some members or forced folks to take a very round-about, longer-than-normal tour of the city, but about 900 of you eventually made your way to the Sheraton and joined us for this grand celebration. THANK YOU!
Attendees had lots to keep them busy! From 45 educational seminars, 35 trade show exhibitors, the First Lady's Breakfast and the Annual Membership Meeting to the hands-on youth program, Region & Chapters Presidents' Dinner and our special guest speaker Dr. Simeone. All of these activities were crammed into 2 full days and ended with the Oscar-like AACA National Awards Banquet, where all of our National Award winners were recognized and honored.
Your new 2018 AACA National Board of Directors was also inducted during the Annual Meeting. These Board members are here to serve you and this organization, so please do not hesitate to contact them.
Thank you again to all of the members and their families who made the trek to join us for the Annual Meeting. The genuine enthusiasm and love for this hobby and AACA could be seen on all of your smiling faces the entire weekend. We hope you had fun, learned a lot and enjoyed being with your fellow enthusiasts. This event is a success year after year because of all of you!
Be sure to mark your calendars now to attend the
83rd AACA Annual Meeting being held in Philadelphia February 7-9, 2019!

The Excellence of the AACA
|
I think back to the early 1970s when I was a freshly-winged Naval Aviator reporting to my first squadron, VP-40, in Iwakuni, Japan. In this dream-come-true occupation, Naval Aviator, flying is your second job. Running a branch office and taking care of your men and women are your primary responsibility and of greater importance. Now, I may have been a freshly-minted aviator and Ensign, but I had been in the Navy my entire life! My father was a WWII Navy Chief Petty Officer, the backbone of the service. He was an aviation mechanic and flight engineer.
It is very common in any work place endeavor to talk about the inadequacies of the boss, job or the system as a whole. In the military, this seems more like a rite of passage or even a socializing pastime. In my position as a branch officer, I soon discovered problem areas that needed attention. I had listened to the scuttlebutt that my immediate boss, maintenance officer Lt. Graham (a mustanger, i.e. a commissioned officer of previous enlisted rank), did not suffer fools or tolerate general complaining. Needless to say, I was a little nervous setting a time to meet with my new boss to voice my trepidations within my shop.
The discussion with this fine officer about my situation went very well. I was amazed that Lt. Graham did not chew me out for voicing my concern about deficiencies within my billet. It was after talking to my peers that I learned a very important life lesson. Do not take up space in the bosses' office complaining, instead outline areas that need improvement, followed by recommendations to correct the problems.
Identifying and then fixing the problem is the core of AACA's mission and endeavors. AACA actively remedies problem areas within our hobby and seeks out areas which they can improve upon. This was made so abundantly clear at the Boca Raton Concours d'Elegance. All things ran and managed by AACA were as flawless and pertinent as humanely possible. This efficiency was demonstrated the second we put our car on the field. AACA was tasked by the Concours for a display, "Cars through the Decades." As one of the first cars to arrive on the field Friday afternoon, we were greeted and assisted by knowledgeable, professional volunteers who knew what to do and could address all of our questions or find the person who knew the answers.
On Saturday at the AACA hosted seminars this dedicated professionalism was once again evident. The plethora of knowledge and the zeal for all things automotive was confirmed. The first seminar, "The World of Wild, Weird, Wacky, but Wonderful Cars" hosted by Steve Moskowitz and Chris Ritter, highlighted not only the extent of information available in the AACA Library, but the necessity of ensuring the library's continued and growing success.
The second panel discussing "The Collector Car Market - the Past Five Years and the Five Years to Come" had ample AACA representation that highlighted the wealth of knowledge and passion embodied in our leadership. This discussion moderated by Dave Kinney had panelists Keith Martin, Bill Rothermel, Wayne Carini and Dr. Paul Sable.
The fervor held by our leaders permeates the volunteers and assistants they oversee. The day of the Concours this was demonstrated again by the AACA volunteers who managed and helped those of us in the AACA exhibit. The individual volunteers were knowledgeable, helpful and courteous beyond belief. The AACA put on a first-class production and it was a privilege to have been involved in this process. Our 1930 Chevrolet, Ethyl, (a survivor) was treated as an equal to the high-end fully restored examples of our shared passion.
It is self-evident that the work performed by our AACA needs to be fully supported so they may continue to help our love of the automobile hobby. The resource of the AACA Library is essential in the mission of AACA on our behalf. I am proud to be associated with this fine organization and have found a new enthusiasm for helping further our mutual goals. I see this as a call to action and support for our fine organization. That we will be part of the solution and contribute more to the success of our outstanding association, the AACA, is our challenge.
Note from Steve Moskowitz, AACA Executive Director:
First, it was great to be with Bridget and Frank and all the other 31 AACA members at Boca. They were the backbone of the weekend, along with the cars they so generously shared with us. It was a fabulous weekend for AACA and a big thank you goes to the volunteers from the Boca Raton Concours and the organizers. AACA is still a well-kept secret in some corners and attending events like this just might help us to change that fact.

Soon after my return from Vietnam in 1969, I bought a 1956 Lotus 11LM from Evel Knievel's father, Bob Knievel. The car was in Butte, Montana; I was teaching ROTC at Eastern Washington State College in Cheney, Washington, so it meant an all day road trip. Two cadets and the son of another instructor came with me across northern Idaho and over the mountains to Butte.
As we descended the Continental Divide, we saw how treacherous Montana in late November could be - a VW Beetle was down a slope on its side. When we saw the first head pop out of the window, we came to a careful stop, rescued two women and four kids from the VW, and put it on its wheels again. We left them at a gas station and had a good feeling about being able to help. Amazingly, we saw them again as we headed west that evening - all the VW needed was a tow up the slope, and they were on their way again.
Arriving in Butte, we had to wonder how Bob Knievel survived selling used foreign cars and new Siata Springs in such a decaying town. We quickly found his showroom, and Bob led us to the Lotus. It started up immediately, and we were completely seduced by its beauty. The price was $900, and I handed it over without any negotiation. The car was quickly loaded, and we were underway by late afternoon.
At a stop at Porkchop John's for sandwiches, my three companions realized that we'd have to stop for gas somewhere in rural west Montana and that whoever was pumping gas would probably ask what kind of car was on the trailer. For the next few hours, a new marque and model emerged. The Lotus, competition number 426, became a 426cc Babushka-engined Zeiss Icon Skoda.
When we stopped, I asked to have the car filled and opened the hood to check the oil. As anticipated, the attendant, a wizened looking old cowboy, asked "What kind of car is that, sonny?" It was Dean who got to him first and announced the well-practiced, "It's a 426cc Babushka-engined Zeiss Icon Skoda." There was a pause, and I could imagine the cowboy looking at the Lotus. Then he said, "Hmmm, looks like a Lotus to me."
Dean didn't say much during the rest of the trip and looked just a little annoyed when one of us would say, "Hmmm, looks like a Lotus to me."

2018 New York to Paris: Celebrating the 110th Anniversary
|
|
|
|
Photo courtesy TheGreatAutoRace.com
|
February 12, 2018, marks an important anniversary in automotive history. It was 110 years ago a race began which changed the perception of the "horseless carriage" from a novelty for the rich to a viable means of transportation for everyone. The
1908 New York to Paris Race
was considered so impossible, Henry Ford and Ransom Olds declined to enter. However, when President Teddy Roosevelt heard French, Italian and German teams were going to race from Times Square to the Eiffel Tower, he demanded there be an American team!
Just days before the February 1908 start, the Buffalo built "Thomas Flyer" was entered. The race was an epic challenge of men and machines, with only three of the six entries actually making it to Paris. More importantly, everyone survived the competition in spite of blizzards, bandits, bad food and no roads along the 22,000 mile route. Just 169 days after the start, the American Thomas Flyer entered Paris and its driver George Schuster won the race with records that still stand today. The legendary victory went on to inspire the 1965 movie "The Great Race" starring Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, Natalie Wood and Peter Falk. George has since been inducted into the
Automotive Hall of Fame
, and the Thomas Flyer has been entered into the
National Historic Vehicle Register
.
In celebration of the victory, a group of intrepid vintage car enthusiast will be making the
2018 New York to Paris
run along the original route. The itinerary is divided into two legs. The first will be the U.S. beginning June 19, 2018, in New York heading west to Oakland/San Francisco arriving July 5. The second Asia/Europe leg has been postponed. As you know from recent reports, the Asia situation (particularly North Korea) has become unstable and necessitated postponing that leg until events improve.
There will be special planned stops along the way, including Buffalo, NY, with a joint start at the
Pierce Arrow Museum
along side the
2018 Great Racers
.
They will be headed east for Halifax, NS, while we head west for San Francisco. Next Cheyenne, WY, with a special lunch at the
Plains Hotel
. Then it's on to the
Cheyenne Depot
,
where the Union Pacific Railroad played a key role in helping the Flyer cross the upper mid-west. As we continue west, we're honored with a special vintage edition of the
Evanston Car Show
! Of course a visit to Reno and the
National Automobile Museum
,
home of the restored
Thomas Flyer
, and on to
Death Valley National Park
with a grand finish in San Francisco. These are just some of the places we will be visiting along the way with spectacular views, historic venues and some great people.
 This is not a race, but rather a relaxed tour covering an average of about 300 miles per day with three days of rest and recreation mixed it. There are no "entry fees" - it's just your own expenses along the way! Vintage car enthusiasts and history buffs are welcome from start to finish or may join in for any part of the trip. This is a great way to cross the continent and celebrate the 110th Anniversary of the legendary race, while making some history of your own in your favorite automobile!

Bondurant School Celebrates 50 Years
|
From actors getting ready for roles in feature films to experienced auto racers looking to improve their competitiveness and from military and from security personal who need evasive driving skills to teenagers just learning to maneuver a vehicle safely, more than half a million people have gained enhanced driving skills at the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving.
But the very first students - there were three of them - reported to class on Valentine's Day, 1968, making Valentine's Day 2018 the school's 50th anniversary.
 |
|
|
Bondurant and one of his first students -
actor Paul Newman - ham it up after class
|
"I opened my racing school on Valentine's Day in 1968 because of what the day represents," Bondurant said in a news release. "It's a day that celebrates love and passion. And there's nothing I loved more passionately than racing and teaching, high-performance driving, and just as important, driver safety.
"Of course, I'm very proud of the incredible influence my school has had on drivers from around the world. I'm so grateful to have created such a great legacy and to be the only family owned and operated driver training school of this scale."
Bondurant was a world-championship racing driver but in 1967 the steering arm broke on a car he was driving at Watkins Glen, New York, and he suffered severe injuries, was told he'd never walk again.
Part of his recuperation was to start a school to teach others to drive.

Outlaws, River Pirates and Highwaymen... Oh My!
|
 Founders Tour
Metropolis, IL
October 21-26, 2018
Registration Open August 1-31 ONLY
Few natural formations are as awe-inspiring or intriguing as a cave. The deep, dark recesses immediately conjure up images of adventure and mystery. At Cave-In-Rock in southern Illinois, atop the high bluffs overlooking the scenic Ohio River is a 55-foot-wide cave that was carved out of the limestone rock by water thousands of years ago.
Beginning in the 1790s, Cave-in-Rock became a refuge stronghold for frontier outlaws on the run from the law, which included
river pirates
and
highwaymen
.
Because the Ohio River flowed westward, it became a convenient means of westward movement by pioneers traveling from western Pennsylvania. These pioneers were regularly set upon by outlaws in the area. Traders moving between New Orleans and eastern markets also had to risk robbery.
As you venture down to the cave (an easy walk), let your imagination soar. You can almost hear the bravado of those early outlaws as they unloaded their ill-gotten gains into the deep recesses of the cave.
Cave-In-Rock State Park is just one of the interesting sites included on the 2018 Founders Tour in Metropolis, Illinois, October 21-26. Won't you join us?!

Trivia Answer
|
From the ALL IN THE FAMILY TV show's "Those Were the Days" theme song, when Archie and Edith Bunker sang (and/or shrieked):
"Didn't need no Welfare states... Everybody pulled his weight...
Gee, our old LaSalle ran great...
Those were the days..."
It was written by Broadway songwriters, Charles Strouse
and Lee Adams.
