58L-Y8 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Tasted Moxie? Annually at Hershey, a good fellow in our local WNY AACA region brings a supply from his junkets to Maine to share with anyone who dares try a sip. Moxie is an acquired taste, the popularity of the word has long outlived its national popularity. Just a regional soda pop brand now, though I had and rather liked Goslings Ginger Beer (Since 1806) bottled in Worcester, MA. on a trip to the Berkshires.

First tasted it decades ago, still drinking it. Bill is a good friend who does his best to get folks to at least try it. Yes, an acquired taste for sure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Yup, Bill is a good egg, I do my best imitation of Frank Archer the Moxie advertising man for him at the tasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twin6 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 From the 1908 Glidden tour there are several great photos of "The Chairman" - a paper prop displaying Moxie - appearing in vehicles. Must have been an inside joke at the time, now long lost in the mists of history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't miss it, Bill puts up big orange Moxie banners on the tent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are some enthusiasts years ago, great advertising. Several of the moxie cars survive. The one below is at Clark's Trading Post in Lincoln, New Hampshire.

I tried to look that up once and the closest place was near MaCungie, Pa.! I never thought I’d find Moxie lovers here! Did you know Moxie is owned by the Coca Cola Company? It’s presently produced in three places, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and the state of Washington. They even make diet Moxie. I personally watched them tear down the Moxie building on the corner of Bickford and Heath streets back in 1954/55. The walls on that building (the large part) were over three foot of brick. Please go to the following website and learn all about it. http://www.moxiecongress.org 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne sheldon Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 One just does not realize how impressive some of these cars really were! When a good friend's 1915 Marmon custom roadster's restoration was finished, they had me sit in the car sitting as naturally as I would, hands on the steering wheel. Then they got a tape measure and measured from my nose to the Motometer. Looking at that Marmon touring above, may give some idea how large that car was. It was nine feet from my nose, to the Motometer! The wheel base of a model T Ford is 100 inches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
