I received this email from Hulon McCraw this morning, with his permission I am posting this in hopes we can reach the goal and honor both of these fine gentleman that gave so much to AACA Thanks Paul & Lynn Gawel I had the honor of serving 10 years on the AACA Board with two gentlemen and past presidents who were stead- fast in upholding the cornerstone mission of our hobby. Both (Dave Zimmerman- 2005 and Herb Oakes- 2012) earned and maintained my utmost respect and support for their commitment and dedication to AACA and our hobby. As we enter into a new building fund campaign we have the opportunity to honor both these individuals by raising $15,000.00 each for Office Naming Rights in their honor. While the members, Regions and Chapters in New Jersey and North Carolina are committed to making this happen we will need help from the many friends both gentlemen made while serving our club. I felt obligated to reach out to members who crossed paths with both gentlemen and found them as I did deserving of this honor. Two offices have been temporarily reserved for a short time period so we can achieve the necessary donations. I hope you will join our efforts for this deserving recognition for both Dave Zimmerman and Herb Oakes. Your donation will have a double impact supporting the Building Fund Campaign and honoring both Dave and Herb with offices named in their honor. Hopefully you will choose to support both men. If so, individual checks must be made each payable to; AACA Building Fund and designate in the MEMO blank Dave Zimmerman office naming and on the second check Herb Oakes office naming. Mail to Antique Automobile Club of America, 501 West Governor Road, Hershey, PA 17033-2219 The families of both Dave and Herb are very appreciative for your support and honoring their loved one. If you have any questions please contact me 828-606-2918 cell or hcmccraw@morrisbb.net I work more effective by phone. Thank you in advance for your support. Hulon C. McCraw Sr. AACA member 573898

We will be selling Buick parts on the green field in front of the Giant Center, spaces GCH 22-23 70-72 Skylark GS parts, some GN parts 60,s Taillights also memorabilia will be there Tuesday - Friday Thanks

Might be a good idea if Steve can place a large banner in front of the building "Future Home of AACA National HQ & Library and Research " for Fall Meet Great location! Now we just all have to show our financial support. Paul

Thank You all for the help Will be selling tnem at Hershey

Thanks, I figured 64-67 Skylark, I have found them (reproduced) from 40.00 to 90.00 each. I think they will also fit Oldsmobile.

As pictured they are 10 inches long, about 1 ½ inches high and taper to 1 inch towards the front. I am open to offers and will continue to do some research to determine a fair price. I was not aware that I had even bought these, 20 years ago I purchased a box load of NOS 1970 Buick parts, took out the pieces I needed and just tucked the rest away. This weekend I went to a Buick event and decided to try and sell off the extra parts. We were packing up and I was getting ready to trash the large box when we can across these wrapped in the packing peanuts. I knew these were not correct for any of my cars. Paul

The plating is perfect, not a scratch. I will have them at Hershey, Green Field GCH space 22 & 23. I am trying to determine a fair price.

I found a pair of armrest bases I did not know I had. I believe they are NOS, not rechromed and may be for early 60's Buick Skylark. I can not find a part number. Any help would be appreciated. I am also looking for a value so I can sell them at Fall meet in Hershey. Thanks Paul Gawel

call Karen at headquarters (717) 534-1910 They have them available

Just a sheet of aluminum, I have no idea why it is there. We bought the trailer from a drag racer back in 2000 and it was just there, never leaked so we just left it.

The trailer is sold Thanks for all the interest!

From what I understand it is not for the larger older cars. I trailered a 1970 Buick GS convertible in it. The car weighs about 3500 lbs and I think we were about maxed out. It did a great job with that car, but I would not want to trailer anything much heavier. Matt, I am not sure what rating the axles are, I have owned this for 17 years and never found any place on the trailer that had that information. Thanks Paul

A friend measured it for me and came up with 75 inches (6' 3") That's top of floor to the bottom of the overhead retraction spring. So, yeah, it's a low trailer and not something you could use for most older cars.

Marty sent you an email Carl I will need to get measurement this weekend

1995 Pace American Enclosed Car Trailer. 25' Overall length Box is 102" wide x 22.5' long with 2.5' tongue Dual Axle, Torsion suspension Fold down rear door Electric Brakes 1 side door Includes load leveler bars and hitch Located near Hershey PA $2500.00

Services for Herb will be held on Tuesday Feb. 14th at the Jones Funeral Home, 303 Chaney Ave, Jacksonville, NC 28540. Visitation at 12:00 with services at 1:00. I have not been able to find an obituary so I do not know if flowers or donation has been requested. If any one can find the obit. please post it here. Lynn Gawel

He was a man of honor, he made tuff decisions, some opinions that people did not want to hear, but he made them fairly and was a by the rules kind of guy. I worked closely with him during my time at HQ. I had my utmost respect for this man and considered him my friend. We just spoke for over and hour last Wednesdays night after my last day at HQ. We had made planes to hoist a few during Fall Meet. We will do that in his honor. RIP my dear friend Lynn Gawel

Food for thought The Museum gets around 70,000 visitors per year Hershey Park gets 3 million plus per year (per Wikopedia) You do the math Paul Gawel

So long as your dues are paid you can go ahaed and mail the completed form. Hershey region has acess to the database and can check. Just attach a note that dues are paid did not receive the card. Every year this happens, with the thousands of renewals sent in it can take several weeks once payment has been received at HQ. Lynn Gawel
