Wow! Wonderful, Steve. Many thanks to Mr. Gibson and Mr. Bowman. Very nice gesture that will certainly be a great tool in spreading the wealth of information retained by the Library. Peter.

Hello, John. You could contact AACA National Director Tom Cox tntoldcarz@aol.com Tom served on the board of the Virginia Transportation Museum and I would believe him to be the best person to steer you in the right direction. Please note that he and many other AACA directors are winding up the Annual Meeting in Philadelphia so give him a chance to respond if you so desire to contact him. Regards, Peter.

Not at all, Bob. There have been many critiques of the Moderators over the years for deletions of threads whereas the actual author of the thread deleted it. If anyone, I have egg on my face as only recently was I informed that when an author delete's I assumed "everyone" sees the reason and by whom. Not the case apparently. Only the Moderators/Administrators see it on their screens. Bottom line, let's give Peter G. and others a chance to travel home from the Annual Meeting and address the question posted by others: "Eliminating the edit function after, say, a few days". To other people not knowing about your User CP and basically many functions or AACA services offered on this web site: Please venture off the General Forum and see what is available. The General Forum is a miniscule part of everything available here. Regards, Peter.

Our Webmaster would be the person to answer your questions. As for a thread's author going back and editing I tend to agree. In these cases it usually is someone that gets criticized for a statement within a post then tries to hide it by deleting it when the heat becomes too much. As for deleting your own thread any one of us can do it. Go to your user CP. In this case the author opted to delete it and that is what he did. He authored it and has the right to delete it if he so desires. Regards, Peter.

The thread was deleted by the author NOT the "handlers". On the screen of which Moderators have access it reads as follows: "Thread deleted by Dave B. (the author)." "Reason: Thread deleted by the originator".

ms...Taking a wild guess. The logo O.D. appears to be a diamond..."Diamond T" ?? Regards, Peter.

Very interesting, George. Have you tried our AACA Library & Research Center to see what is in the huge archives? On the home page, click on Library on the immediate right hand column. Peter.

Dick, The author of both posts deleted them--not the moderating staff. Peter.

Well stated, Matt. Like others I highly doubt we can satisfy the majority. Constant negative comments about a hobby (or club in this case) would have "driven" me to find another 56 years ago and I am 63 now. Tried golf at one time and immediately reverted back to the AACA which is the finest organization within the true meaning of the old car hobby. Regards, Peter.

I referred to the references that the $30 registration fee Bob is questioning came across that the AA Magazine is worth the membership (which is $35 per year). Never mentioned names. Point is: Let the South Florida Region respond and go from there. Peter.

Bob, With due respect I believe the negative PR coming out of this thread is very unfair to the hard working volunteers that put on meets and the Homestead Meet in this case. Why not contact the South Florida Region, get the facts, then, post them. People thinking about attending are reading this and the reason I really believe it unfair that already there is misinformation. You do not like the price of $30. Well, only the Region can explain it and I would bet it is due to costs out of their control. The people noting that $30 is worth the AA Magazine are not correct. Current AACA Annual Dues are $35 and "well worth the cost of the AA Magazine". The timing of the Meet and a race: I will bet it is also due to circumstances out of the Region's control. The Region does not own the property where the meet is held. The owner's of the property tells the Region when they can hold meets. Again, out of the Region's control. Please, in all fairness to the South Florida Region, contact them, get the facts, then post them here. Thank you, Peter J.

hoppy...Welcome to the AACA Forum. Sent you a Private Message (PM) with navigational instructions. Peter J.

AJ...Welcome to the AACA Forum. Matt has very good advice to use a trailer instead of a dolly. Years ago I rented a U-Haul open trailer. If I recall correctly, the trailer weighs 2-tons. They do not look heavy but I assure you they are. I towed a TR6 to Moline, Illinois for the AGNM and pulled it with an 8 cylinder Dodge Dakota. No problems. Prior to having a pickup I had no tow vehicle for the 2000 Spring Meet in Winchester, VA. Went to U-Haul and asked to rent a pick up and open trailer. They took the total vehicle weight (2450 #) plus the trailer (2,000 #) and would not rent the pickup. They insisted I had to use a 14 foot moving van to haul the trailer. This was at the Reading, PA U-Haul. Possibly it was a song and dance...who knows. It was kind of comical towing a small car, one person, and, a suitcase with that large, empty truck. How much does your car weigh? They normally do not have older vehicles in their data base and the clerk will more than likely ask the question. Regards, Peter.

Hello, Ron. You would be best served to contact Mr. Donald Barlup, VP of National Activities this year. pullman1914@aol.com Don has vast experience with tours and meets. I worked with Don over the years in various AACA capacities and I assure you he will assist with sound advice. As a member of the AACA I certainly want to extend my appreciation to you and your fellow members for the interest in being a host. The tours and meets are the keystone of the AACA. Regards, Peter J.

Cha05Twn07..."Welcome to the AACA Forum". Please do not take some of the comments you recevied as representative of all forum participants..."A grain of salt" certainly helps survival here. Scroll around all of the services on this AACA Forum. We have a lot to offer. On the Home Page check out the AACA Library & Research Center and the AACA Museum. The Library has retains an enormous amount of research literature. Best, Peter J.

The Vietnam Veteran's Memorial we vets built in Reading, PA's city park I believe says it all. We put at least 2 years into finalizing the wording to "bring unity" to everyone's experience in dealing with war and sacrifice. The wording covers those who avoided serving, those who lost love ones, those who served, those who wanted to serve however denied for varied reasons, those who gave the ultimate: ____________________________________________________________________________ TO THOSE WHO LAUGHED TO THOSE WHO CRIED TO THOSE WHO FOUGHT TO THOSE WHO TRIED TO THOSE WHO GAVE THERE VERY LIVES "WE REMEMBER"

You are quite welcome. There may be more that is not listed in the On Line Catalog. Personally I would contact our Librarian, Chris Ritter via a phone call or On Line Request to see what other materials may be available. Possibly something specific or more definitive to your query. Our AACA Library is "public" so you do not have to be a member of the AACA to accesss the great wealth of old vehicle literature that is retained . critter@aacalibrary.org or 717-534-2082. Best, Peter.

Hello, Paul. If anyone wants to see how this "classic" subject rears its head like clockwork on this Forum, click on the Search link in this page's header line. Type in "Classic Definition". The oldest one retained is dated July 20, 2000... After moderating on this forum for about the same 10 year period I cannot recall one time that the topic "Defintition of a Classic Car" has ever been satisfactorily resolved or agreed upon. It has become almost ho-hum from my side of the fence not to mention "here we go again". Peter.

Folks, Points have been made and it is time to get this thread back to the purpose: "Tucker #1010 is going to auction !" Thank you in advance, Peter.

And what feedback and factual information as to the plans did you receive from the Museum? Would really help give you some facts before a lot of conjecture begins. Regards, Peter.

Tucker Fan 48 and mdsbob, Thank you very much. Well stated! I speak as a member of the AACA and cannot thank the Cammack Family enough for their dedication to our club through donations to our Museum, Library, and, National Headquarters. Tuckers may be the subject here however it is mind boggling how much the Cammack Family has contributed to this great club for our enjoyment now and future generations down the road. Regards, Peter J.

Just a reminder for what it is worth, folks: We are all guests on HERCO property. If they have an event scheduled for Saturday evening or Sunday either at the Giant Center or Stadium the Car Show on Sunday would be out of the question. In past years I recall a repeated message on the P.A. System reminding all vendors that they must vacate the property by whatever time on Saturday and this was due to evening events in the Center. Regards, Peter J.

Thank you, Matt! Proves again that this AACA web site has the most current information coming from the "horses mouth" if folks would just get off the General Forum a bit and do a little research. Regards, Peter J.
