TG57Roadmaster Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Say what you will (and you will), but Saturday's AACA SE Spring National continues to amaze me. Working Judges Admin, I only had a chance to make it inside the Speedway once, to buy a set of Firestones from Coker for a '27 Peerless 6-90. This is only the second duPont I've seen in person, the other being J.B. Nethercutt's '30 Town Car in Sylmar, CA. It's a 1929 duPont Model G Club Sedan with body by Merrimac - it won its Senior on Saturday, and I had a lengthy chat with its owner, a fount of knowledge on the marque. I look forward to seeing the Model G at the May 19-21 Grand National in Virginia Beach, hoping it will be campaigned there. TG 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TG57Roadmaster Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 (edited) With more than 260 vehicles registered, this was about half of our cool, blustery show field on Saturday. Folks were prepared for the weather and made the best of it. The AACA Youth Program was held in the tent on the right. Making an impressive entrance, this mammoth 1914 Simplex Model 50 12 Cadillac Torpedo Touring with dual enclosed chain drives was next to a 4-passenger 1911 Cadillac Torpedo Touring. 1930 Franklin Model 145 Convertible Coupe. A fun brace of postwar micros - 1949 Fiat 500B Topolino and a 1957 Izetta This 1937 Buick Roadmaster Coupé (aka Cabriolet de Ville) by Franay of Paris is an HPOF car, and won its Repeat AACA Original.

kingrudy Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I made the two hour trip from Asheville, NC. I have not given up hope on finding the gravel deflector for my '40 Buick Super Coupe. No luck on that, but I did get a look at Jeff's '41 76C. What a beautiful Roadmaster! Visited the Steele Rubber truck and got some good advice from their rep. Definitely a good outing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
61polara Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Thanks to everyone who showed a car and those who judged. You are the ones who made this National a great success. I'm also glad that needed parts were found in the flea market. You never know what you will find.
