John; We retired a year and a half ago from Pa. to Palm Bay. We are a few minutes from rte 95, just off the Atlantic /Coast and the Indian River. The Grant Valkaria area is probably what you are looking for. The Cape Canaveral Region (which we joined) is just North of us and the Vero/Indian River Region just south. A fantastic car culture down here!!. The big problem is that property here moves fast. Don't take too much time making up your mind or it will be gone!! If I can aid you in your search in this area, feel free to contact me. Happy to help!! Dave Anspach

Deb and I and granddaughter Mady were out doing a nature walk today and then a little shopping. We stopped at the local WAWA for a slushie and as we started to leave we see a nice Brass car leaving the pump. I followed the gentleman to his home which ended up being less than a mile from mine. The car was a 1914 Apperson Jackrabbit. The gentleman said he was an AACA life member and he had just finished getting the car back on the road a week ago. He had driven over 100 miles yesterday and today was just going for gas. A great car to see and even greater to see it on the road!. The man stated he loves touring with his car!!. I really admire him. Made a new friend and a new car buddy!!

Thanks Matt!

The newsletter editor's manual has been updated and is now available on Line. Look under publications on the AACA web page. I realize there are a lot of format problems with it and I plan to get these corrected with a total rewrite . The old manual was done in an old format that is not very friendly to corrections. In any case we wanted to get the technical problems corrected in time for editors to use it this year. Thanks to Matt Hinson, Fran Shore, Kim Gardner, Mark and Marion Mcalpine , and Pat Buckley for all their work in making it happen. If you have any additions or corrections please contact me directly so we can fix it with the rewrite . Thanks to you all! David Anspach VP Publications

It is with great sorrow I pass along to you the fact that Judy Edwards passed away yesterday. Judy was a friend and mentor to many of us in the AACA editorial area. She was a long time member of the Buzzards Breath Touring region and multiple award winning editor of the Buzzards Droppings Newsletter. She was creator of the "Wheels" young peoples newsletter. Judy was on the publications committee for many years and created the scoring sheet used for evaluations today. She will be sorely missed. Services will be held Saturday Nov. 10 at the Brown- Wynne Funeral Home 1701 E Millbrook Ave. in Raleigh NC. from 1-2 pm with visitation with visitation with family from 2-5 pm. Address to send her husband Barker a sympathy card is Barker Edwards 116 E Front Street, Clayton, NC. 27520.

Forgot to say, free delivery to Hershey. Contact by my e-mail tmkldwwj@yahoo.com

I know this is supposed to be for parts so if moderators wish to remove it OK. I have a 3 wheeled mobility scooter that I picked up at a yard sale as a non working item. It took a few parts and new batteries, but it is now a running item. It appears to be an older scooter and isn't for cross country or hillclimbing but it scoots right along on macadamed surfaces. It is missing a taillight lens and the side turn signal lenses, but everything works. 2 brand new 18 AH batteries. Charger included. 325.00 or best offer by the time I leave for Hershey. Less than you will pay for a 3 day rental!!

Still in the low 90s here in central Florida. (Sorry)

For all in the path of Florence, BE SAFE. Our prayers are with you and your family.

I knew you'd find a Crosley eventually!!! Very rare model. I know of 1 beautifully restored, 2 complete originals and 1 incomplete original

I was out on a Crosley search today and came accross a guy that had about a dozen Reos of different models both cars and trucks. All of the 20s vintage. Stuff was a little rough but there was a lot of it. He also had a lot of other stuff . It seemed overpriced to me, but I'm particularly cheap. I was told they wanted to liquidate a lot of stuff, but who knows. Place was named Orlando Pickers Emporium, just outside Orlando Florida. Maybe you guys already know about him, but it was fun looking and they were real nice. Phone number is 407 600 3983. Text only. Address 2812 Apopka Blvd.

To all who submitted: I inherited the newsletter review system we have and really find it a fine way to do things. The electronic submission was done, I understand, to try to keep costs down for smaller regions. As has been stated, many regions have gone over to electronic newsletters exclusively. Many do paper only, and a large amount do both. Every region is given the choice if they want to submit a paper copy or an electronic one for review. Currently around 70 newsletters have been entered for the Newsletter Awards Program. A lot of regions and editors choose not to submit for judging, just like many of our car owners choose not to be judged. To review them we have 15 reviewers that are a hard working and dedicated group. I am thankful for every one of them. Roughly 3/4 of the newsletters submit electronically and the balance are paper only. Some reviewers only want to do electronic newsletters, and some want to do paper only (so John S we would welcome you if you have the time and you could do hard copy only). It is interesting and very satisfying to me that with the newsletter scoring system we have, if you look at the scoring done by different reviewers ....just like scoring of judging of cars, they come within a few points. Personally when I score a newsletter whether electronic or printed I use a hard copy score sheet. Just makes it easier for me. I welcome anyone with editing experience to get involved in the newsletter program, either as an editor or as an evaluator.

If you buy this car and need help with finding parts and doing a correct restoration, the Crosley Auto Club will be happy to help. Feel free to contact me at Tmkldwwj@yahoo.com

John, I appreciate the thought. Each of my grandchildren will get a restored Crosley. 5 have gone out already, and 3 are being shown currently. If they decide to sell them, then so be it. I have tried to choose a car for each one that fits that kids interests. I hope they will have something to remember grandpa by, if not a source for a few dollars some day for each one.

Thanks to all so far. There was a zd Crosley frame to lower it included. The doors and hood and headlight panels were also included. I have pretty extensive Crosley experience, but I don't know squat about fiberglass. There were also some Braje stuff in the deal and a couple engines. I'll look at the stuff on line and I already sent an email to Mr Hacker with no reply. I'm still in PA. And will attach pictures as soon as I can.

I just purchased a car and a batch of parts from the estate of one my recently deceased friends. Included in the deal was a never assembled body of an Almquist Sabre. I've decided to try to build the car for my grandson. Anyone have any experience with one ? Also the floor, which may have been part of the original kit was not included. Need a suggestion for that. Thanks

Why open his kettle of worms? To learn more about what makes people happy. To possibly search for solutions to grow our great organization. I have my opinions on why people prefer AACA or Concours events, however I know that it takes a wide variety of people to make our hobby. Maybe, by asking, I will find out something that is outside my experiences and use it for improvement.

A topic that comes up in many discussions is the idea of a CONCOURS type show verses the way the AACA does a show. There are obvious differences in who pays for what and obvious similarities in prestige in winning awards, and many of us participate in both. I'm curious as to what drives different people to participate in each. Just looking for opinions and ideas as to improvements that could be made for both. Thank you.

Deb and I decided to rent a cottage a short distance away for the week. Less than half the Hotel costs and we have the whole place to ourselves.

Although a small amount compared to other makes, 1948 was Crosley's biggest year with over 31,000 cars produced. (Compared to 5,000 in 46 and 22,000 in 47). Agreed they were not "exciting" cars, but they are a lot of fun, and the 48s make up a pretty good percentage of our national show field every year. And speaking of Hemmings Classic car, there is a 48 Crosley convertible on it this year!
