It's Official - It's Summer!
|
Summer is the perfect time to show off your classic! You've got holiday parades, family get-togethers, neighborhood block parties, weekend road trips, cruise-in nights, meets, tours, etc.
Summer is also the perfect time to "advertise" the AACA to other antique car enthusiasts. Word-of-mouth is the best advertising and YOU are our best advertisers! Think about it... Which would be more likely to get you to join AACA - an ad you see in a magazine or newspaper, or a friend telling you about this great club he/she belongs to while admiring your beautiful car? The friend, right?!
Do me a favor this summer, forward an issue of
Speedster or share a copy of
Antique Automobile magazine with a hobby friend who is not a current member of AACA. Then follow-up with them at the next get-together and talk to them about joining you as an AACA member. Think about the possibilities! If just 1 out of every 10 of you would get a friend to join this summer (new members can join at half price remember - only $18 U.S./$23 non-U.S.), then we could add 6,000 new members to the club this year!!
AACA wishes you a happy and safe Fourth of July!

Honor the Collector Car Appreciation Day "Holiday" this July
|
The Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) supports the SEMA Action Network (SAN) in declaring July 8, 2016, as National
Collector Car Appreciation Day (CCAD). It is a day to help raise awareness of the entire car hobby and its role in American society. This will be the seventh consecutive year for what has become an annual event to recognize the importance of automotive restoration and collection. Each year since 2010, this "holiday" has been marked by a U.S. Senate Resolution at the request of the SAN to honor the classics of the past and the future.
The U.S. Senate recently passed Senate Resolution 507 (S. Res. 507), sponsored by Congressional Automotive Performance and Motorsports Caucus Co-Chairs Senator Richard Burr (R-NC) and Senator Jon Tester (D-MT). The Senators are strong advocates for the automotive hobby in Washington and recognize the integral role collector cars have played in fostering our nation's appreciation for the automobile's unique historical place in our history. The Caucus is an informal, non-partisan group that pays tribute to America's ever growing love affair with the car and motorsports. As this annual event continues to grow worldwide, states, provinces, counties and cities are following suit with their own recognition.
If your Club or Region has a happening planned during the month of July, you are invited submit its information on the official CCAD site without cost by
clicking here. Events can range from informal gatherings and club meetings to more organized events, such as car shows, tours, cruises and parades. This
official list will help auto enthusiasts nationwide find events in their local area to join in and celebrate. Participating organizers will receive a complimentary copy of the Congressional resolution for display at each registered event. For those unable to celebrate on July 8, the SAN encourages events to be scheduled throughout the month of July 2016.
CELEBRATE OUR HOBBY YOUR WAY!
- ATTEND an official vehicle-inspired event
- HOST your own gathering or club meeting
- Promote a "HOLIDAY SALE" at your business
- INVITE partnerships with nearby enthusiast-related groups
- DRIVE your special ride, new or old, whatever the destination

"Top 10 Best Car Shows" - WE NEED YOUR VOTE!
|
As we all know, there's nothing quite like getting up close to a cutting edge debut supercar or vintage classic, popping the hood to gawk at the powerful machinery within or sitting in the driver's seat. That's why we go to car shows, right?!
The editors of USA Today have nominated The Elegance at Hershey and the Charlotte AutoFair as two of the top 20 car shows in the United States. WOW - what an honor! The 20 car shows were hand-picked by a panel of automotive experts.
Now, this is where YOU come in... USA Today will be whittling down this list to create a "Top 10 Best Car Shows" list and we want both AACA events to make the final cut, so WE NEED YOUR VOTE!
You can vote for your favorite once per day until the polls close on Monday, July 18 at noon ET. The top 10 winners will be announced on Friday, July 22.

Each year in April and September, the Charlotte Motor Speedway gets taken over by the Charlotte AutoFair (September 22-25, 2016). Collector vehicles are for sale (or for window shopping), as are restoration parts and supplies for almost any vehicle ever produced.

Former AACA Museum President Darwin Clark Passes
|
Darwin E. Clark, age 76, of Fenton, died May 31, 2016. Darwin was born June 1, 1939, in Linden, the son of Donald A. and Kathleen (Bird) Clark. He was married to Helga Etterer on September 24, 1960, in Linden. He was raised in Linden, had lived in Grand Blanc and many other places throughout his career with General Motors and spent the last 14 years on Lake Fenton. Darwin retired from General Motors, where he was a vice president, after 45 years of service. He was a Corvette aficionado and was extremely proud of his children and grandchildren. Surviving are his wife of 55 years, Helga; daughters, Heidi Marie Clark and Inger (Ron) Nastal; grandchildren, Dr. Casey Robinson and Alex Robinson; and his beloved dog, Cooper. He was preceded in death by his parents and sister, Marie Bulger.
Click here for more.
"Darwin was a former AACA Museum President and had a long career at General Motors, including the years we worked together at Oldsmobile. Darwin and I had a territory that overlapped in Chicago when he was at Buick and I worked for Olds. At times we were on the opposite side of the fence during my dealer days, but Darwin was always respectful of mine and the opinions of others. He had a lot of integrity and was as hard a worker as you will ever find. He will be missed."
- Steve Moskowitz, AACA Executive Director

My son Andrew and I bought our 1968 Mustang at the December 2013 Mecum auction in Kansas City. Since then we have restored it to show room condition.
It was bought new in 1968 in Des Moines, Iowa. Four years later it was traded back to the dealer, Gabus Ford. Mr. Gabus then put it in his private collection, where it sat until his death. His family then took his collection to Mr. Mecum to sell.
The total Mustang production in 1968 was 317,423. Of those, 25,385 were convertibles and only 2,175 of those were the Highland Green color. This Mustang was ordered with a 289 V-8, automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, power top and air conditioning. The original list price was $4,063.
I was a senior in high school when the '68 came out, and had always wanted one. Forty-six years later, I decided to try to get one, as my 14 year old son liked classic cars. One strange fact my son noticed is that the car was produced on December 7, 1967 and we bought the car on December 7, 2013.
Although the paint, body and interior were in great condition when we bought the car, there was still a lot of work to be done on the Mustang. The motor was removed, sandblasted and repainted, along with the engine bay. All hoses were replaced and many of the other ancillaries under the hood are new. In fact, the only part that has not been replaced is the starter. The motor has 108,000 miles on it and is untouched. It has had one repaint in 2005.
It has allowed my son and me to bond as we work on the car together and attend car shows, where he enjoys trying to win awards and trophies. We have won awards in each of the 5 shows we have entered so far. In the future, we look forward to driving it and attending more car shows together.

Images from the Library - "Big Bertha"
Since the temperatures are rising, this month's image should hopefully cool you down. The colorful behemoth you see here is the Snow Cruiser (nicknamed "Big Bertha"). The Snow Cruiser was a polar research vehicle built to serve the infamous explorer Admiral Byrd and his crew in Antarctica. The vehicle was finished in 1939, weighing in at a massive 75,000 lbs (when loaded) and measuring over 55 ft in length.
It was a self-contained laboratory on wheels, complete with a storage room for tools, photographic darkroom and galley, living quarters, and storage areas for food and fuel. Tire pressure was displayed on the instrument panel and could be controlled from within the vehicle. "Big Bertha" even carried a biplane upon her "back."
In its short lifespan, there were some hiccups along the way. When it was driven from Chicago to Boston, there were loose connections to deal with and a blown pressure line in Ohio. From Boston, the vehicle was shipped to Antarctica. Toward the end of the mission, the Snow Cruiser was low on fuel and the crew eventually resorted to abandoning loads to increase performance. Among the discarded items were valuable rock samples, research notebooks, and even the first seismic records of Antarctica.
When the crew left Antarctica "Big Bertha" was left behind in storage, never to return home. A few later expeditions came across it again, but it's been over 50 years since it was last seen.
