Really!
Our most recent automobile gift.
1917 King Motor Car
Donated by Frank and Reta Alberti
If you have heard of a King Motor Car you are one of the few who are in the know about this early US Automobile Manufacturer.
"The thing I like most about this  car is it appeals to the grand kids, this vehicle is a great way to connect with new generations! And it is pleasing to look at and appeals to women ;-) "
says 98 year old Frank.
Believed to be one of 8 Kings left!

Why Smilin' Jack?
When you meet Jack Kahle you will immediately know. His smile is genuine and he is passionate about airplanes and flying them (as was the comic strip Smilin Jack of the 1930s)
This is the second aeroplane Jack and Farole Kahle have donated to WAAAM . Our new little Cub Coupes' restoration was completed by Kahle three years ago and its first flight was taken on the day she became a part of the WAAAM fleet of antique aircraft.
Engine Continental 85-12 (85 hp)
Service Ceiling 15,000 ft
Cruise 92 mph
Top Speed 100 mph
Empty Weight 842 lbs
Gross Weight 1301 lbs
Number Built 1251
Fun Facts!
Zack Mosley (cartoonist - Adventures of Smilin' Jack) flew his J4 during The Great Migration of 1940 that was a major promotion by Gulf Oil and the manufactures of Cub, Taylorcraft and Aeronca. More than 600 small aircraft from around the nation flew to Flordia and the most amazing thing...each pilot was sent a "credit card" to be used for the fuel needed for their trip!
