The 2016 meet and tour season is officially underway - yay!! Over the next four months, we will have 5 National meets including Auburn and the Grand National in Williamsport, PA, as well as 3 tours. Now, that's what I call a full calendar! And, we love it!!
 
It's time to finish up those winter projects and restorations, ready those beautiful cars for judging and map out your plans for attending several AACA events this year. Don't forget to make your hotel reservations and email or call all of your car buddies so you can plan to meet up with them.
 
Each meet and tour is our chance to show off this great hobby to the world. Each event is our best opportunity to introduce AACA to our local communities and potential new members. Meets and tours are very visual activities - it's really hard to miss several hundred antique cars driving on an interstate or through a town! Let's use these events to maximize AACA's exposure and ensure a positive future for this hobby...

Member Submitted Story

My Survivor Story: 1942 Harley Davidson XA
By Bud Sargent, Antelope Valley Region, Lancaster, CA,  ford51@aol.com

I wanted to share my "Survivor" story with you...
 
At one of our monthly car club meetings last year, I had a conversation with two new members and learned that they had inherited an old Harley Davidson from the father of the wife.
 
The lady said she "would like to find someone interested in buying it as they needed space in the barn." Needless to say, I was at their house early the next morning eager to see what this old motorcycle looked like after 50 years of storage. As you can see from the pictures, 50 years of dust had not been disturbed.
 
Upon examination, and some research on the web, I discovered this to be a 1942 Harley Davidson model XA. This designation stands for "Experimental Army," a contract of 1,000 motorcycles to be evaluated for use in the deserts. The contract specified, "Horizontal, opposed cylinders, for better cooling, and a shaft drive."
 
After concluding a satisfactory deal to both parties, I proceeded to load the motorcycle on my trailer. The lady then told me I had to take the rest of the motorcycles as well. To my amazement, there were two more 42 HD XA motorcycles in the barn. These had been disassembled, but appear to be somewhat complete.
 
Needless to say, I am still in shock and am in a quandary as to what to do with these historical machines. I guess I better get to work.

Trivia Question
   
As World War I loomed, which automotive supplier took it upon itself to further the cause of homeland air defense...in response to the provincial government's lack of commitment to create a formidable Air Force?

First of all, we will be on the grounds at Auburn Auction Park where Auctions America will be conducting their Spring Sale. You will be their guest for FREE! The facility is huge and all of our activities will be onsite. Our goal was to make this event affordable and low stress. With everything on the Auctions America grounds and their generous providing of the space for free we are able to pass the savings on to you! 

We have arranged special discounts for all AACA members at several prestigious and interesting automotive/truck/military museums in the area. There is easily enough to see over multiple days. In order to receive your AACA discount you must present your AACA membership card at the ticket counter.

The menu includes Texas style beef brisket, ribs, pork chops, pulled pork and chicken for meats. Sides will be potato salad, green beans, baked beans, roasted red potatoes and pasta salad! Whew!

Images from the Library - Paramount's Mobile Sound Recording Studio
By Matthew Hocker, Assistant Librarian, mhocker@aaca.org

This issue's image is just in time for the successful funding of our Kinograph digital film scanner project. (Thank you to everyone who donated!) It comes from the October 1929 issue of Autobody magazine and shows Paramount Pictures' mobile sound recording studio. This was a one-of-a-kind vehicle, complete with a custom body designed and built in-house by Paramount Pictures and then mounted on a White 53 bus chassis. It was constructed by Paramount so that sound recording could be completed for movies filmed away from the studio. When fully equipped, the truck weighed more than 20,000 lbs. 10 storage batteries accounted for 2,500 lbs of this figure.

The Elegance at Hershey to be Held June 10-12
A Weekend of Cars & Causes at The Hotel Hershey

The Elegance at Hershey is a celebration of a bygone era when the automobile stirred our imaginations and quickened our hearts. Today, people both young and old marvel at the extravagances of the automobiles of the past. From race cars to street cars that were not only about pure performance but also incorporated artistic design, a symphony of sound and sensory overload worthy of the finest wines. Cars were not just transportation; they were a statement. The Elegance at Hershey brings the finest of race cars and show quality classic cars of the pre-World War II and immediate post-World War II period together for a weekend celebrating the automobile.
 
The Elegance at Hershey is so much more than a celebration, it is also about our causes. Raising funds for charity is the raison d'etre for this event. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) Museum and the AACA Library & Research Center are the beneficiaries.
 
Festivities commence on Friday, June 10, with The Grand Ascent, a vintage hill climb exhibition in the European tradition, where drivers pilot some of the finest historic race cars up the famed back road at The Hotel Hershey. The Grand Ascent appeals to enthusiasts and curious spectators alike. Sanctioned by the Vintage Sports Car Club of America (VSCCA), the two-day hill climb event includes a sponsor/vendor area for marketing to participants and the general public.
 
There will be an encore presentation of the Concorso Bizarro, a car show of "unusual" and just plain weird cars and other surprises that are sure to make the weekend even more spectacular. This will be held on Saturday, June 11, at a venue close to The Grand Ascent activities. We plan to double the field from last year, plus we are adding car club and marque club participation designed to increase the enjoyment of both the participants and spectators. 
 
We are excited to announce a new event for this year's Elegance at Hershey. The Finest Automobile Auctions is our newly named title sponsor. They will conduct an auction of a select group of prestigious classic automobiles sourced from around the country and the globe. This auction will be conducted on Saturday. 

Please visit our website ( www.TheEleganceAtHershey.com ) and/or The Finest Automobile Auctions' website (  www.TheFinest.com ) for the latest information regarding this outstanding event.
 
Following the events of Saturday, there will be a gala themed nighttime party and fun-filled celebration for the benefit of the charities. Our weekend reaches its crescendo on Sunday, June 12, with the highlight of the proceedings, The Elegance. Modeled after the finest concours in Europe and America, The Elegance is a genteel garden party featuring seventy of the world's finest classic cars strategically placed around the classically manicured gardens of The Hotel Hershey. Car owners, hotel guests and those who appreciate automotive history gather for a day of mutual admiration and relaxed camaraderie. Sprinkled among the fabulous and famous cars will be tents filled with art and other treasures. 
 
Come join us for this truly fantastic weekend!

Check Out These Upcoming AACA National Meets & Tours
Attention Regions & Chapters: 
AACA Members Want to Come Visit Your Neck of the Woods
By Marty Roth, National Director & VP Event Planning - Meets & Tours Development

Our AACA National tours, meets and divisional events are pleasant and fun-filled times to drive, visit exciting new locations, share our vehicles with each other and grow our clubs by building interest with the public. Many of you have previously hosted an event, and can easily do it again. Many more of us have yet to show what a great area you have.
 
Our membership wants to visit you and share in a good time by attending a tour or meet, all while increasing your area's tax revenue and helping your club add to its treasury.
 
As part of National Activity & Events Planning, we are in the process of establishing an inventory of Regions/Chapters which would be willing to host a National meet or tour. There are annual meet dates in each AACA Division available, along with various tour opportunities across the country. We do our best to keep a list of these potential meets and tours reaching out 4 to 5 years. Help is available for meet registration and judging responsibilities.
 
I bet you have held several one-day tours locally for your Region/Chapter. Why not string several of them together to host a Founders, Glidden, Sentimental, Vintage, Reliability or Divisional Tour?
 
Meet and tour guidelines are listed in the AACA Policy and Procedure Manual (check out section 4 for tours and 5 for meets).
 
We are looking for new places to hold these events. Our members enjoy seeing other parts of the country and many attend these AACA events as a family vacation destination. We know that hosting an event has found us new members and brought Regions closer together. Often, two or more Regions and Chapters can work together, sharing the effort and building cooperation.
 
As evidenced last year by a relatively new and very small club in Louisiana's Cajun Country, even the smallest of clubs can grow membership, host the nation's vintage car enthusiasts, share local culture, build statewide cooperation, increase treasury funds and ultimately make substantial local and national charitable donations.
 
We want to hear from you today - please don't put it off. Talk it up with your members now! Thank you in advance.
 
We hope your Region or Chapter will be willing to host an event soon. Please contact me at MartyDaleRoth@aol.com  or 504-452-1955.

New AACA Military Sponsorship Program
By Bob Parrish, 2016 National AACA President

This is a new AACA membership program and I would like you to get to know it and utilize it. The "AACA Military Sponsorship Program" will introduce retired military members to America's premier collector car organization, AACA. This program offers a current year complimentary membership (a $35.00 value) to first-time members only. These memberships will enjoy the same club benefits as all of our members. For this special program, retired military is defined as someone who has had a career in military service and receives a military pension or someone who retired with a disability from the military. What a patriotic way to expand their hobby interest and show our gratitude for their service protecting our country.
 
Military personnel have often lived all over the world and once they retire are ready to settle down - maybe pursue a hobby. Perhaps antique cars is something they have always had an interest in and we can be the ones to make that introduction.
 
This program will be promoted on the AACA Region/Chapter level and an attempt will be made to match these new members with the local Regions/Chapters where they reside. Regions and Chapters will be encouraged to invite these new members to a meeting or activity and also consider giving these new members a current year complimentary membership to their respective Region/Chapter.
 
The different military services have Retiree Services Offices throughout the country to provide assistance to and connect with military retirees in their respective locales. These individual Retiree Services Offices plan various retiree activities, which usually include an annual Retiree Appreciation Day. The Retiree Appreciation Day is an event that may have guest speakers, luncheons, seminars, etc. designed to keep retirees informed about services for them. This would be a good venue to promote this program.
 
Applications will be available from AACA National Headquarters and can be downloaded from the AACA website by clicking here. Startup funding will be provided by AACA. Corporations, Regions/Chapters and individual contributions are welcome.
 
The number of memberships are limited by the funding available. Applications should be mailed to, and questions regarding this program can be directed to:
