Terry Bond Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 https://www.mtfca.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8608 This was recently posted on the MTFCA Forum - interesting early photos of the 4th AACA outing, July 1941. Enjoy. Terry 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarfudd Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 If the pictures were in color, they'd look like an HCCA tour today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A. Ballard 35R Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 As written on the back of pictures, this was the 4th AACA outing ever held and the third time it was held at the Folwell residence in Merion. I have numerous pictures and newspaper clippings plus an 8MM movie of the meets. Can't say that I remember it since I was only age three but my older sister remembers the meets because we lived there and the Folwells were our grandparents. Walter Matter was an institution at the early meets and drove his model T down from Hawley, Pa. in the Poconos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRHaelig Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 It's also highly likely - given the lifestyle of those vehicles and the committed nature of their owners - that these vehicles still survive today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC5 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 It's interesting to think about these cars being only 30 - 35 years old at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cxgvd Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I think the 1910 Ford roadster participated in the Lansing to Dearborn Run, a co-sponsored event by the HCCA and the AACA Snappers, last September. The Ford still looks that way I recognized the script, is this the car, perhaps someone made their car a clone. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs to be destined for the AACA Library and Research Center for its final repository though, otherwise it may be lost forever. That 8mm movie could probably be digitized and shared here.
