The 2024 Eastern Divisional Tour in Fredericksburg is shaping up to be a great tour! One small alteration is necessary. The hotel we were going to use will not be finished by our tour date. Fear not! We have found a new host hotel and as soon as the paperwork is signed Registration will open! The tour is limited to 50 cars so do not delay too long. It will be a fun tour and we will all learn a few bits of history along the way! Hope to see you in Historic Fredericksburg in June!

I have a 1982 Buick Riviera convertible that has the Cardone 52-7212 brake booster. It is leaking. Is there another one anywhere out there???
-
Any car up to 1999 that meets AACA judging standards. Basically no street rods or modified cars.

Would you please send us registration info and itinerary? Is the tour older car friendly? Like 1915?
The itinerary is posted above. The registration form will be ready shortly after the new year when prices are firmed up. We will be touring back roads...the longest day is to the Air and Space Museum, about 140 miles round trip. Other days are much shorter.

My memory is very foggy but I recall visiting Dick Boeshore in a building with a lot of school buses and seeing a Duesenberg Murphy convertible coupe missing its wire wheels and I believe a 1933 orange and cream Auburn speedster. There was some issue with the banks and the duesenberg and the missing wheels but I don’t recall the particulars.
He owned Brightbiil Body Works. They built Bluebird school busses

back in the 1980s in SE Pennsylvania, there were two successful businessmen who would show magnificent classics at local car shows in Lancaster, Lebanon and Berks counties. Dick Boeshore owned 5 Duesenbergs and a Duesenberg II. I vividly remember him leaving a local show in a Rollston convertible sedan. The car had a cutout on the exhaust and the roar of that engine as it raced up the hill outside of town was amazing! Also, Carlos Leffler had a Mercedes 540K that was reportedly Eva Braun's. Does anyone know what happened to these classics???

Mark your calendars...the Eastern Divisional Tour is set for June 9-13 in historic Fredericksburg VA. Join us as we learn about the Founding Fathers all the way up to the Final Frontier. Guided tours of the Fredericksburg Battlefield and Chatham Manor, Washington's boyhood home, Ferry Farm, the Air and Space Museum, Stratford Hall, Menokin, and the National Museum of the Marine Corps. Our host hotel will extend our group rate three days before and after the tour for those that want to take in more of the historic sites around the area. Email me for more information. Chas1963@hotmail.com Tour is limited to 50 cars

I plan on attending the Glidden Tour this year but due to a hectic schedule I will not be able to bring my trusty 1941 Studebaker Commander this year. If I may hitch a ride for a day in another automobile I would be eternally grateful.
See you Down the Road!

I actually need the plate that the handle mounts to, not the handle itself. Do you have a plate?
-
Thank you!
-
I managed to break the trunk handle i
on my 1941 Commander while on the AACA Sentimental Tour. I need a new one for the Glidden Tour! Does anyone have one?
-
Wayne, you are all set for the Sentimental Tour. We have room for 100 cars and we are not close to that number yet.
-
Our tours are not in Gettysburg except for the last day. And it is a brand new museum that just had a soft opening last weekend. I was at the ROI meet in Gettysburg! You will see new things on this Sentimental Tour.

Awwww thank you Terry! It will be a fun time for sure!

You have a great car for both Sentimental and Glidden tours! If you go on the main portion of the AACA website you can find the registration form for the Sentimental Tour. Our host hotel is the Wyndham in Gettysburg. Each day will take us to fun and interesting stops in PA and MD. Back roads and no interstates. Great for old cars. If you decide to do both tours, because they are so close together time wise and destination, I have put together a fun stop and lunch each day. No early starts, no long drives. We will be staying in Lancaster County and that Saturday we will make one last stop at the American Treasure Tour, have lunch and motor over to Princeton for the Glidden Tour.
I do hope you make it. TourIng is so much fun!

I sent it to you twice. June 9 and June 15.

Registration is open for the 2022 Sentimental Tour in Gettysburg! The registration form is available on the AACA website or you can email me at chas1963@hotmail.com. And for those of you with prewar cars who are also planning on the Glidden Tour, we have a first ever In Between Tour with interesting and fun stops as we work our way from Gettysburg to Lancaster to Princeton.
The In Between Tour will be short days. Very casual. Great food. A Wine and Cheese Evening at the Laundromat because why should necessary chores be boring? Learn some history, see some amazing places and really enjoy motoring in a prewar car!

The Registration Form for the 2022 Sentimental Tour will be posted shortly. I have already been contacted by some dedicated motorists who will be staying for the “In Between Tour”, a very informal and fun week of causal touring, great food and fun as we make our way from Gettysburg to Lancaster to Princeton NJ for the Glidden Tour. Don’t miss a mile of the fun! If you have any questions drop me a line at chas1963@hotmail.com.
See you down the road!

Mark your calenders...the 2022 Sentemental Tour is on! September 10-16. Gettysburg PA. Hosted by the Buzzard's Breath Touring Region. Yes, we have been to Gettysburg many times. No, we will not be seeing the same old places. Yes, we will be at the Wyndham Hotel. No, we are not going to tour the Gettysburg Battlefield. Yes we are going to see some incredible sites you probably have never seen before. No, you do not have to polish the monuments on the battlefield. We did that on the Founder's Tour in 2017. Yes, the dates are shifted a little for this tour. We begin touring on Sunday September 11 and our closing banquet is Thursday Septmber 15. No, by all means you do NOT want to miss this tour!

Question regarding removing the speedometer on my 1919 H 45. After fixing the swivel and mounting down at the RF wheel, the third time out something kinked and I heard a SPROING! and the drum stopped turning. How much twisting and turning and contorting does it take to get the speedometer out of the dash?
-
A huge Thank You to Bill Preston and his entire club for all of the work it takes to make a Glidden Tour happen!
