Annual Convention Derby – A Fun-Filled Follow-Up
By Matthew Hocker, AACA Librarian, Cataloger & Volunteer Coordinator, mhocker@aaca.org
|
The Chris and Kathleen Koch AACA Library’s 2nd Annual Convention Pinewood Derby was held on Friday, February 11th to excitement and anticipation. Nearly 40 cars participated in this year’s derby, and it was a diverse showing in terms of styling with everything from a slick Batmobile-esque racer to a carefully carved 1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass. A few folks even entered cars from their childhood, including one that was nearly 50 years old! |
Competition was fierce with Rick Holmes taking 1st place and John Harvey and Dennis Christensen sliding into 2nd and 3rd. Prizes for the winners included an AACA life membership, a custom LEGO kit of the library’s 1955 Chevrolet bookmobile, and a slot car set. This year, winners were able to choose their prizes.
In terms of our styling awards, we faced a tough decision process because the overall craftsmanship on hand was impressive. The categories and winners were as follows:
|
Most AACA – Walt Koz:
Walt Koz landed the award for most AACA with his “Koz-Mic” racer. In addition to sporting slick livery for the Cape Canaveral Region, we were equally impressed with the vehicle’s styling. The overall shape of the vehicle, its color, and swooping curves are reminiscent of the Batmobile from Tim Burton’s Batman films.
|
Best Overall – Meredith Jaffe:
After holding our first derby, Meredith expressed to us how pumped she was to enter our next event, and she said she was going to craft a replica of the Tucker; nothing prepared us for what she brought to the table. Every curve and angle of the Tucker has been faithfully captured, and the central headlight is cleverly represented by a crystal. A dentist by trade, Meredith utilized material used in making dental impressions to hold in place weights within the vehicle.
|
Most Creative – Charlotte Dahlenburg:
Like Meredith, Charlotte was also inspired to build a car after our first derby. Charlotte worked on this purple hotrod with her father-in-law, and the project brought them closer together. The bodywork and painting alone are impressive, right down to the windows which are made to look like light is reflecting off them. However, what really made this car stand out is how Charlotte utilized her cake decorating expertise by crafting a special icing into the car’s engine and radiator. Charlotte even used the icing for the fan behind the radiator, making her car one truly sweet ride!
|
Lemon of the Year – Joseph Seybert:
While Joseph Seybert’s car won the Lemon of the Year in styling, it certainly was not a lemon in terms of performance. Joseph planned on doing a more elaborate design, but his time was extremely limited due to an unexpected situation. Rather than throw in the towel, he made lemonade out of lemons by entering his unfinished car with weights for speed and a hilarious set of decals. He named the car Block Naked and brandished the phrase “No time 2 get dressed” on the sides. We absolutely loved it!
|
We would like to extend a special thank you to everyone who participated in what is fast becoming an anticipated AACA Annual Convention tradition. If you plan on attending next year’s convention, please consider creating your own derby car and entering it in the race. The more, the merrier! |

AACA is Looking for a Few Good Men and Women
|
Serving on AACA’s Board of Directors is a high calling and a great honor; however, it is not for everybody. If you feel that you can serve the membership and possess the following qualifications, I need to talk to you.
First, you must have a genuine love of the antique automobile hobby. You must have the ability to serve at the national level. This requires you to devote the time, energy, and personal resources necessary to participate in meetings, nationals, tours, and regional activities.
You must be able to function in a team atmosphere by being a team player and/or team leader. You must be able to support your fellow board members and maintain strict confidentiality as required.
Directors need to have the respect of their fellow club members, gained as a proven and successful leader. Experience in chairing or working with AACA committees is important, and background in chairmanship of national level activities is valuable. A track record of active involvement in the hobby, and recognition as a selfless and hard worker for the fun and enjoyment of others is critical.
The best directors and those who rise into the highest offices of AACA are those who work hard so others may enjoy their hobby. To them, knowing that AACA has been successful is more important than their own individual recognition. Still, one of the intangible benefits of leading AACA is the respect and recognition you will receive from the members. It is their thanks for your friendship, your concern for the hobby and their enjoyment of the club, and your wholehearted devotion to AACA.
If you feel that you qualify for consideration by the AACA Board of Directors, please call (717- 582-3209) or email me today for a follow-up discussion.

Membership Corner: The Benefits of AACA Membership
|
As National VP of the Western Division for two years and Membership VP for the last two years, I can’t count how many times I’ve heard the questions, “What does AACA do for our region? What do we get for our $45 dues per year?”
Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of belonging to an AACA region or chapter and being an AACA National member…
- When you join AACA, you are joining one of the oldest, largest, and most inclusive car clubs in the world with a community of more than 55,000 strong.
- As a member, you may join any of the 350 local regions and chapters supported by AACA.
- Regions receive a $6,000,000 liability insurance policy at no cost. I’ve been a member of an independent club in the past and I can tell you coverage like this is expensive.
- Directors and Officers (D&O) receive a $1,000,000 policy. All AACA asks is a voluntary $110 per year for this coverage. Again, this coverage is expensive if you have to purchase it as an independent club.
- AACA provides free publisher’s liability insurance for newsletters.
- Members receive perks and discounts from industry vendors and other businesses from time to time. Currently, you can enjoy discounted room rates at all La Quinta hotels.
- AACA members receive two free hours of research at the AACA Library Research Center. This is the largest automotive research library in the world covering 30,000 square feet with more than 3,000,000 pieces of literature and a staff of full-time librarians to help you with your research.
-
Members receive six issues per year of the best antique automotive magazine in the world, Antique Automobile.
-
A monthly email newsletter, Speedster, with information about what is going on with the club, library, and local regions/chapters.
- AACA works with organizations such as the Historical Vehicle Association (HVA) and the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) to lobby on behalf of the old car hobby.
- AACA has a comprehensive judging program with 222 classes for original cars, driver cars, and show cars that cover all makes and models of cars, trucks, and motorcycles that are 25 years or older. Most marque club judging systems were modeled after AACA.
- AACA has a comprehensive judges training program with awards for its judges.
- The comprehensive judging system provides the basis for our robust vehicle awards program and our yearly National Awards honors.
- Our Nationals feature more than just a one-day car show. Most Nationals have short tours to historic sites, attractions, and sometimes private collections that aren’t open to the public.
- AACA has national and regional tours for different vintages of cars.
- AACA has a website and online forums to help members with numerous issues related to the old car hobby. Restoration, repair, maintenance, buying, and selling are just a few of the topics.
- National newsletter and webmaster awards for region editors and webmasters.
- AACA has a student membership and youth programs.
- AACA gives away thousands of dollars to youth who are involved in the hobby through its annual scholarship program.
- Membership allows participation as a vendor in the world’s largest antique car flea market in Hershey, PA, each year.
- Each year the staff at the headquarters building in Hershey, PA, receives more than 100,000 emails and thousands of phone calls asking for help on a wide variety of vintage vehicle issues.
While all of these membership benefits are wonderful, the most important benefit you receive from being a member of AACA is the people you meet and the life-long friendships you develop. One of the mantras you hear from AACA members often is… “You join the club for the cars, but you stay for the people.”

One of the Italian auto industry’s most memorable figures…born under the sign of Scorpio…made a name for himself by creating aftermarket exhausts and high-performance tuning kits, before turning his attention to complete sports cars. Who was this La Repubblica Italiana performance guru…who in fact, wasn’t actually Italian? |

This is a member submitted story.

This is a chronological history of our relationship with our 1966 Austin Healey 3000. It was November of 1965, before the holiday break. I was a senior studying electrical engineering at the University of Maryland in College Park, MD. There were Morgans, MGs, Triumphs, and even a V-8 Daimler running around campus. But I always liked the looks and the sounds of the Big Healey.
I was scheduled to graduate in February, and I had a job lined up. I thought I would treat myself, and relieve some stress from studying, by looking for a new car. One day, I drove my 1953 Ford rust bucket to Manhattan Motors on Queens Chapel Road in Hyattsville, MD. It as a gray and dreary day and Manhattan was the local Austin Healy dealer. I convinced them I had, or would have, the means and convinced them to let me take a test drive.
There it was… a brand new 3000, BJ8, British Racing Green, wire wheels, perfect! And I had the keys! I remember starting the car and hearing that beautiful sucking noise from the twin SUs. And then driving off the lot hearing the throaty roar emanating from under the car. What a thrill!
I drove the car back to the dealership with a big smile on my face. The dealer’s salesman asked me what I thought. I said I loved it. But then it got down to the nits and grits… the price!
Remember this was 1965 and my new job was going to pay me $680/month, $8,160/year. And that salary was near the top for a new engineer in 1966. The price for this new Healey, my dream car, was $3,200. It was almost half of my annual salary, and that was pre-tax. I melted thinking this would never ever happen.
So, I ended up with a brand new 1966 Ford Mustang, dark blue with a white convertible top, a 289 V-8, and an automatic slush bucket. The price was a much more affordable $1,800. While it looked cool, I didn’t find it fun to drive. The car seemed like it just couldn’t get out of its own way and my buddies who had manual transmissions would blow me away. I did put Koni shocks and Michelin Xs on it, so I felt a little better. I loved the smell of the Xs when they warmed up. I think I was the first guy in the area that had radial tires.
So, life happened for the next 55 years. In February of 2019, my sister and brother-in-law were visiting us in Naples. One of our favorite events in this month is Cars on 5th hosted by the Ferrari Club of Naples. This event is a major supporter of St. Matthew’s House. St. Matthew's House provides innovative solutions to fight homelessness, hunger, substance abuse, and poverty in Southwest Florida.
As well as gorgeous Ferraris of various vintages, other cars are invited to participate along beautiful 5th Avenue in downtown Naples. The 2019 Cars on 5th show was one of the best yet. There were 607 cars spread across many classes. This included more than 150 Ferraris and supercars, 70 Corvettes, 70 Porsches, 80 muscle cars, 20 antiques and classics, 30 British cars, and 30 cool cruisers.
My brother-in-law worked with cars for his entire life and loves to go to car shows. Unfortunately, our schedules didn’t align that year and he went to the show by himself.
|
|
On the evening of February 9, 2019, my brother-in-law sent me a photo of a 1966 Austin Healey 3000 with a for-sale sign on it. British Racing Green, wire wheels, it was love at first sight. Deja vu all over again.
I couldn’t make out the phone number on the for-sale sign, but he blew up the photo and gave me two deciphered numbers.
To make a long story short, she ended up in our garage. The icing on the cake is that the inside of the glove box door is signed by Donald Healey! She had “been around the block” a few times as they say. After a month of brake work, tune-up, fluid flushes and refill, etc., we drove it for about 1 month. We sent for, and received, its British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate. We then decided it needed to be returned as closely as possible to its initial condition and drove it to Tsikuris Classics in Lakeland, FL, for interior and exterior refurbishment. It cost three times as much as planned and took three times longer of course. Progress was made, and Paul paid a lot of attention to every detail. We think it looks great! We were very excited when we picked her up on January 2, 2021. Happy New Year to us!
We had an uneventful drive from Lakeland to Naples, except for a two rain showers. We got a lot of honks and admirers along the way.
Her name is “Victoria,” and we hope that we will be able to spend many hours experiencing fun, sharing stories, and enjoying the camaraderie with the other members of Naples-Marco Island AACA for many years to come.

Carlo Abarth was born in Vienna on November 15, 1908. As a Scorpio, he relied on the striking Scorpion logo to identify Abarth and Co. products, which was founded in 1949. Abarth would go on to enjoy a remarkable relationship with Fiat, in particular. |
