  1. At first he was in Pewaukee WI but moved to Logansport In, This car has Wolf Coal and Supply on the side that was in Logansport, IN so I would guess that is the time frame this was taken. Looks like he wasn't driving because he is the man in light shirt, not the man in the race attire. I think the man that race for him name was Fred Horner? No sure where he was from but it was up north somewhere.
  2. For a compact this model does have a lot of headroom..
  3. I don't think AACA standards have change much, but the quality of restorations in general have improved. 30 years ago you may find a few cars that were restored better than they were new. AACA standards were set when an owner restored his car in his spare time with small amounts of of money saved here and there. When done the owner/restorer could sell the car at a profit and move on to the next car usually something more valuble. Those cars done well could win a first. All the reproduction parts available now were not there. Now car are professional restored costing well more that the car would ever sell for. I think we are numbed by the outstanding over restorations and perfect cars. Remember originally is worth more than condition. A nice original complete car can have a lot "not perfect" and still score 365. Maybe the judges give to many 0's but every judge could come back with -8 point and the car car still have a 365. If a car is correct but showing a little wear 35 points is a lot. Next time you look at an older collection look at the cars restored in the 60 that won AACA awards in the 60's, judging hasn't changed much, restorations have. Just my opinion.
  4. MY Hershey pictures and videos are at Hershey AACA Fall Nationals, 2010
  5. No they were in the show, it a trial display class of custom cars that had to prove they were customized over 25 years ago.
  6. I remember years ago when the show was still at the Stadium AACA had a display class of vintage street rods and the Happy Days pick=up was displayed. it was parked in front of the maintenance/shower building.

  10. I sent my Judges registration in a few months ago with a SASE for a parking pass but I still haven't received it. Has anyone gotten their parking pass?
  11. Do any of you know if anybody still makes a 6 volt jumper pack. Battery Buler used to make one but it has been discontinued. http://www.lectriclimited.com/battery_butler-instructions-pdf/manual-BBJS600.pdf Des anyone know of an alternative without making yourown, it would be handy for us who keep their old cars 6 volt.
  12. Last few trailer I have done I just used Floor and porch enamel and threw in some silica sand after the first coat. I paint the floor gray with black lines for my tires to follow making the car easy to center.
  13. I got my AACA 75th Anniversary book today. Now I need to find time to enjoy it.
  14. Here is a quick video of Saturday's tour: YouTube - LOVR AACA Summer Tour

  16. There is one on Ebay now at: FORD Model T or A SPLIT RIM JACK Wheel spreader 1920's : eBay Motors (item 170511019829 end time Jul-15-10 18:07:34 PDT) They and not hard to change and not that dangerous like truck split rims. I used to change them without the tool. the tool makes it a lot easier. I like the ad's text I would like to see you change a Model A tire with this tool. or a late T for that mater
  17. The Lower Ohio Valley AACA tour (Southern Indiana) has an antique car tour next Saturday the 17th. We leave the Rural King in Evansville, IN (St Joe + Diamond) at 11 CDT (12 EDT) and head to have lunch at the Feed Mill Restaurant. Then to Torque Customs in Wadesville, they do custom interiors, paint, powder coating, and complete restoration. Then to New Harmony to tour an antique cars and pedal tractor collection. Not sure what I am taking yet, I think, I need to work in the morning at Start VU. So If I take the Model A I will have to trailer it to E-ville due to time restraints, I could drive the T-bird. If anyone is interested in going contact me. Any vehicle over 25 years old is welcome and the tour will be set for older cars, back roads with a 40 mph maximum speed. If you don't have a car or just want to ride we can find you a seat, If I take the A I'll have the rumble seat open. (rain or shine)<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Remember there is more than the National with AACA, join, and get involved with a Region.
