Karl, As Matt stated, go for it. That is one great historical vehicle which to me is what the AACA is all about for future generations. Beautiful!! Hopefully you will show it in HPOF and allot time to answer questions from spectators. Don Barlup, VP of National Activities, is well versed in similar trucks of the past. (Hahn, Pullman, and, more just as they were found). On the side, nice to hear you chime in here. Best regards, Peter Peter.

keiser...nice collage of photos and story. Peter.

Hi, Mark. You should check the Meets & Tours forum. Here is the link from Bill Pritchett: http://forums.aaca.org/f213/nj-florham-park-aaca-club-show-280201.html Regards, Peter.

I think we addressed all avenues to include reprimanding/raising children which is really off topic. As others have stated it was an isolated incident, action was taken by authorities, the AACA has properly responded, respondents offered good tips. Figure on average there may be 4500-to-5,000 cars entered in meets per year every year not including car corrals with no incidents. Let's let this isolated nonsensical event "die". My opinion as a member of the AACA. Peter.

Dave is correct, 1930. One addition: You do not have to be an AACA Member to use the Library services thus the fees apply. On the other hand Dave's input is on the mark: By joining the AACA one of the many benefits is 1 1/2 hours of free research time "per year".

1930...Check out the Library site or phone the Library tomorrow. As Matt mentioned in his post you could do an on-line search tonight, too. On the Library site there are instructions to search. If you do not find it, again, give the Library a phone call or e-mail: critter@aacalibrary.org Regards, Peter.

1930... On the "Home Page" click on "Library". When it opens you will see "Library" in the right column. Click on it and once open you will see "Request Form" at the very top. Below are the reasons there is a charge (501c 3 rules that are mandated for a non-profit) plus a request form. In addition to the assistance Matt forwarded you can always phone the Library at 717-534-2082 and speak to our Library staff. NOTE: Search our archives on-line or ask the staff if they can readily identify the existence of the material in question. Because we are a nonprofit corporation, our archival information and research services must be self-supporting. The following schedule reflects our fees in time and materials to fulfill your request. Please note, the processing fee must accompany this request form and be in US Dollars. We accept: major credit cards, PayPal, and checks made payable to the AACA Library. Regards, Peter. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Processing Fee $10.00 (this must accompany your request) Research $30.00/hour* (chargeable in units of 10 minutes @ $5.00) *PAID AACA MEMBERS ARE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE UP TO 1.5 HOURS OF RESEARCH FREE. Copies b&w: $0.30/page color: $0.50/page Scans $1.00/page for color TIF & PDF

Great! Hang on to it. The HPOF class is growing leaps and bounds in popularity. Regards, Peter.

Were any of the vehicles mentioned 25 years old or older?

Moved it...

Bob, May be worth your while to see if your AACA Library & Research Center would have an original to copy. On the home page, click on "Library" and you will see instructions to request a search. Or, you could contact our excellent staff at the L&RC in Hershey, PA: 717-534-2082 Head Librarian: Mr. Chris Ritter crittter@aacalibrary.org The L&RC retains an enormous amount of original materials. Hopefully they have what you are looking for. Regards, Peter J.

Hi, Gloria & Wayne. Glad you folks made it. I was stationed at Ft. Hood (Killeen, TX) in 1967-68 prior to going on a fun filled, Gov't paid-for, 17 month vacation to Southeast Asia. While at Ft. Hood our favorite weekend hobby was going to Shakey's Pizza Parlor in Austin, TX and give the "Aggies (sp) a hard time. Drove down in a 1960 Buick convertible owned by a die-hard old car nut. Do me a favor...see if they are still there. I still have a cheap plastic spinning top that they handed out. Place was neat. Had a gent on the piano and a banjo player. You could sing along to their tunes and had a screen with the song's words. Great times! Have a good time. Peter.

oldwhizzer. I looked up "Steering Wheels" within the vendor section of the 2009 Hershey Fall Meet booklet. In the Red Field is one "Richard A. Gumm from Reno, Ohio" (Red Field location #RND-30 - 32). Others listed under Steering Wheels: D&D Automobilia, Mount Airy, NC Donald I. Eash, Mount Airy, NC David W. Johnson, Kennebunk, ME Snyder's Woodcraft Shop, Nazareth, PA You could Google for phone, etc. The booklet does not list phones/addresses/etc. Hope it helps, Peter.

Keiser...you are correct about the Duryea logo as it is the "car on the left" (singular). On the other hand if you refer to the "cars" (plural) in the center of the page it would be the "marketing logo" not the official AACA "duryea" Logo. If I recall accurately the "Marketing Logo" was an artistic compilation of features from more recent cars designed to attract the more youthful market. One can always click on the little used "Search" function and type in "Marketing Logo". This was discussed at length some years ago. Regards, Peter.

Keiser...he asked about the "...forum logo above" which is the Duryea on this thread page. The silhoutte "marketing logo" can best be answered when West or Steve come on line. Regards, Peter.

McGuireV10, It is a Duryea. Do not know year. Below is copied from the club history on the home page. Within the header bar click on "About" and you will see it. "The first published drawing of the club emblem, as we know it today, was designed in 1939 by Mr. Herbert van Haagen of Upper Darby, Pa. Using a power engraver attachment, many months of labor were required for Mr. van Haagen to produce the original master pattern." Regards, Peter.

Hello, Harry. This is not close to your description however thought I would bring it to light. The AACA retains quite a sizeable library of films and videos for loan to Regions and Chapters to enhance their meetings or for whatever purpose. The club has a film entitled "Story of the 1918 Maxwell" listed (Line Item 177). Might be of interest to your Region. The rules are noted specifically that to sign out an item it can be done only by the Region or Chapter President. On the AACA Home Page click on Resources within the gold header bar. Scroll down to Films and Videos. Take care, Peter.

Dave. Look on the 1st Junior plaque for a stamped number that should be dead center on the bottom. Do not know if they used these numbering systems back then however mine has "W11243" stamped. If it has this number it should be easy for HQ to find. Peter.

austincar6...Try your AACA Library & Research Center. On the home page click on "Library" on the right. You will see an icon to initiate a research request form. Your Library & Research Center retains the finest most comprehensive collection of automotive materials within the hobby. Give it a try. Regards, Peter.

Congratulations (again) Terry & Susan!! Thank you Mike & Marcy Jones!! Lot of people behind you to make the 75th Anniversary a great, memorable year. Regards, Peter.

Art (and everbody) You can get onto the All News station out of Philly...kwy1060.com They are excellent and you can listen to it live on your computer. They are 24/7 non-stop Philly news. Regards, Peter.

Folks, Snowing heavily here in Reading, PA. Expecting 12-18". Good source for a steady stream of real time driving conditions within the Philly area is: 1060 on your AM dial. Strong frequency all news station out of Philly that you can pick up within 100 + miles of Philly. Peter.

Hi, Bob. Hope all is well up your way. My guess is for cooling. Your diameter from the picture looks slightly larger than the holes my TR6 wheels have for cooling/air flow (I believe there are "16 holes" on the TR wheels that border the outside edge. (Car is snow bound in the shed and I am not going to shovel a path to see it). In short I am only making a guesstimate. Regards, Peter.

Dave, Likewise...you, Sue, and, family have a great Christmas. Thanks to both of you for your help manning the Library Tent and Membership Tent at Hershey. Really a big help not to mention the great conversation and laughs. Regards, Peter.

Hi, durospeed. The AACA Museum in Hershey houses the Museum of Bus Transportation which is a must see. You can either click on "Museum" on this AACA web site's home page or Contact Info I feel you will find your answer and much more. Regards, Peter.
