With a show as big as Hershey, there are a lot of moving parts for our Hershey region volunteers to coordinate. Please help us by reviewing this important information:

As you know, an event as big as Fall Hershey does not happen without a lot of help from our community! Putting on the Yard Sale every year, and keeping the library open for research, is not possible without the volunteers who step up to work at the library during the week. Please consider giving your time in one of the following ways so that we can continue to offer the services and events you have come to love during Hershey!

Library Welcome Duty

(Monday, October 6 – Thursday, October 9):

Refer to our schedule for available shifts.

Library Yard Sale (Tuesday, October 7):

Volunteer opportunities will include working registration, monitoring the sales tents, helping customers, etc. We also need help with the moving and setup of literature earlier in the day. 

Yard Sale Preparation (July-October):

Lastly, we will need help sorting literature and manuals in the months leading up to the event and will be ramping up this process over the summer. With so much to do, we can use all the help we can get!

For more information, please contact Volunteer Coordinator Matthew Hocker by email or phone – 717-534-2082.

Last year, in conjunction with RM Sotheby’s, we were able to obtain a discounted rate at the Hershey Lodge during the Eastern Fall Nationals which most simply refer to as “Hershey.” Thanks to AACA members who took advantage of this deal, we were able to sell out the entire block of 900 room nights. Selling out this room block is the best way we can ensure that the auction remains a part of our event. The auction is back in 2025 and we already have the block set up to take reservations. Please consider making your reservation now clicking here. This year’s rate is $299 a night. Thank you all for your support last year!

If you haven’t received your August 2025 issue of The Judge newsletter in your mailbox yet, you will soon. In the meantime, feel free to click here to check out the digital version.

This issue includes the registration forms for the following shows:

-- 2025 Eastern Fall Nationals, Hershey, PA

-- 2025 Central Fall Nationals, Galveston, TX

Just a reminder that you can also register to judge online on the AACA website.

Not a current judge, but interested in becoming one? Just attend one of the Judging Schools at any of the Nationals to get started.

If you were unable to grab a t-shirt or poster while you were at the event, you are in luck! We have a limited supply of t-shirts and posters remaining from this year’s Grand Nationals in Dayton, Ohio. We have 12 XXL t-shirts and 11 small t-shirts available at $20 including shipping. We also have posters available for $20 including shipping. 

Please email Jon Curtis if you are interested in purchasing any of these.

Membership Corner: Joining the Club

By Jeff Oaks, AACA National VP Membership, tjoaks59@gmail.com

I hope that everyone is enjoying the summer and has been able to travel and have fun with family and friends. We have had fun with the grandkids, and I have found time for automotive projects in the garage among other things. I was able to attend the Eastern Spring Nationals in Beckley, West Virginia, and just returned from the Grand Nationals in Dayton, Ohio, which included the Zenith Awards. I had a great time at both Beckley and Dayton. This was a first time visit for me to the Air Force Museum and the Packard Museum and I enjoyed both. Above all were the outstanding antique vehicles that attended the events!

Our 2025 National Membership Committee has made a committed effort to have our AACA Membership Tent present at the shows this year. We have found that our best member recruitment results have been on the show field, the day of the show. Word gets out about all of the antique cars that will be on display and attendance is high. We have had a steady stream of folks asking about the club, its activities, and events. Surprisingly, many have an old car at home that has been passed down, or they picked it up somewhere and would like to join the fun. We mention that the cars do not have to be show cars to participate, and you do not even have to own a car to be a part of the club! We point out that it is easy to join by just filling out a membership form and that right now it’s only $25 to join through years end. One guy said he spent more than that for lunch! It’s a deal… We also have some extra issues of Antique Automobile magazine on the table to show people what we are all about. Shows, tours, restorations, articles, ads, and more! We always give out our web address, www.aaca.org. They can search out more there later and even join online.

For our local chapters and regions, you can be successful too by promoting membership at your local shows and events. Take notes from some of the ideas we have had at National. Some of our greatest successes in recruiting new members are from our local clubs. List some of the highlighted events that you participate in locally and get them interested in joining. Also, don’t forget the four complimentary memberships that are sent to each chapter and region annually. Ask your President about them and don’t let them go to waste. All of us have a friend or relative that would like to be a part of this antique auto experience. We are the oldest and largest antique automobile club in the world, and we need your help to hang on to that title!

See you on the road soon!

The AACA Library utilizes several ways to generate income throughout the year – most are well-known to our members: the book sale at the Annual Convention, the Yard Sale during Hershey Fall Nationals, and the gift shop at the National headquarters building, are all places you’ve likely bought duplicate literature, books, models and toys, and library merchandise. But unless you’re a local, you might not know about our booth at Black Swan Antiquities in nearby Palmyra.

A mere 6 miles down the road is a 20,000 square foot antique mall beloved by locals, that features about 60 vendors, including the AACA Library. Not only does having a booth here allow us to sell duplicate material year-round, but it also serves as a venue to access a different customer base. Black Swan attracts a variety of antique and thrift shopping fans in the area, many of which are not in the old car hobby, but still enjoy the inventory we stock.

In the past, librarian Matt Hocker served as curator and caretaker of our booth, and more recently he has handed the reins to Amoi Goldman, who has been giving it her own spin this past year by changing up the shelving units and testing new items in the booth. Amoi visits our booth twice a month to restock and take note of what is selling and what isn’t. Because of the frequency of her visits, we are able to rotate inventory based on what items might be of interest that month. Chrysler show going on in Carlisle? Let’s add some Mopar literature and books. Summer tourist season? Add in some toys and models, and some old maps (all of which sell remarkably well!). Books tend to be popular all year round, especially coffee table books, and memorabilia does well here also.  

With our Black Swan booth, there’s no need to wait for an event to come around in order to support the library – it’s only a short drive away! So, the next time you’re in the area to visit us, be sure to save a little time to swing by the antique mall…it’s well worth the stop!

Black Swan Antiquities – Open 7 days a week, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

Located at 61 West Front Street, Palmyra, PA 17078. 

At this year’s AACA Central Spring Nationals in Auburn, IN, I showed my 1986 Pontiac Parisienne in AACA’s Original class (formerly HPOF), vying for a repeat Senior Original award. Also showing in the AACA Original class was a beautiful two-tone green 1958 Pontiac Parisienne, it too vying for a repeat Senior Original award. I took the opportunity to park next to the ’58 and capture a couple photos of the first and last years of the Parisienne model name.

For many years in mid-twentieth century times, Pontiacs assembled in Canada used some Canadian-sourced Chevrolet components to avoid duties and tariffs (sound familiar today?). Since they were unique to the Canadian marketplace, they often carried model names that had relevance to our neighbor to the north.

The ’58 Pontiacs were no exception, as the bodies from the U.S. were mated to Chevrolet chassis in Canada, complete with Chevrolet engines. When Pontiac offered both convertible and two-door hardtop models of the Bonneville in the U.S. for 1958, Canada followed suit, offering two-door hardtop and convertible models named Parisienne. This was apparently a nod to the French speaking province of Quebec.

Mounting to the Chevrolet chassis in ’58 created a small problem. The Chevrolet Impala chassis had a slightly shorter wheelbase than the Pontiac Bonneville, so the front fenders and other unseen body panels had to be shortened. Thus, standard ’58 senior series Pontiac front fenders will not fit the Parisienne. More differences are found under the hood, where on this particular ’58 Parisienne one finds a 348 cubic inch four-barrel Chevrolet V-8.

Stark differences were really evident beginning in 1959 when the “wide track” 1959 bodies were placed on the standard track Chevrolet chassis. To say the early wide track years Canadian Pontiacs resemble a football lineman wearing ballet slippers is appropriate.

Like the Bonneville name, the Parisienne model name continued to be used through 1986, albeit on less exclusive cars than the luxurious ’58s. Interestingly, my ’86 Parisienne, and all the Parisienne’s sold in the U.S. from 1983 to 1986, were also mated to Chevrolet chassis. The major difference is that once the Parisienne had some sales success in the U.S., production was shifted to U.S. factories that were already producing the Chevrolet Caprice. My ’86 Parisienne was built in Kansas City with an Olds 307 engine. By this time, GM was using engines from a variety of manufacturers and was publicizing that fact, having been dragged into a class-action lawsuit in the late ’70s after some Oldsmobile buyers realized they got Chevy 350 engines instead of Olds 350s.

Another interesting point noted at the Auburn show…there was a stunning pink and white ’58 Bonneville hardtop vying for its First Junior in class judging (which it won handily). I got a closer look at the car during a Friday evening July 4 cruise-in in downtown Auburn. Per the car’s owner, the pink Bonneville has every available option EXCEPT for the dealer-installed continental kit (if it had a continental kit, it would not fit in their garage!). The green ’58 Parisienne? It does have the dealer-installed continental kit!

I know some in the car hobby turn up their noses at the Parisienne, regardless of the year. After all, it’s a Frankenstein of sorts with Pontiac bodies covering a Chevrolet chassis. Especially the later models in the ’80s, which are still scornfully referred to as Cheviacs, or more appropriately for my Olds powered example, a Cheviacmobile. That being the case, I felt somewhat vindicated when listening to former Pontiac dealer Jerry Dobson of Munfordville, KY, speak at the Louisville POCI convention. He spoke in glowing terms about the ’83-’86 Parisienne, seeing it as a salvation to again be back in the big car business after Pontiac unceremoniously cancelled the big B-body car for 1982. He recalled that the first 1983 Parisienne delivered to their small dealership sold within four hours. The dealers cared about selling cars, and the Parisienne got them back in the big car marketplace.

We are always looking to feature articles from AACA members in Speedster. We'd love to share your personal accounts of tours and shows you have attended, restoration projects, unique vehicle stories and history, and any other stories you think other AACA members would enjoy hearing about.

Stories should average about 500 words or less. And we love photos, so make sure to include some! Please send your photos and stories to Stacy Zimmerman at szimmerman@aaca.org. 

This was our second year hosting an event to celebrate National Collector Car Appreciation Day. We had a good turnout in spite of the rain and the fact that our Department of Transportation decided to do road repairs that day!!

We chose to host a free car show and invited everyone and anyone to participate. The show took place on July 11, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Lured Market & Grill in Lake Lure, NC.

While the lake is still being restored from Hurricane Helene last year and many of the businesses are still closed, we chose the location for several reasons: (1) it is a short drive from our region and the other chapters and regions participating in the event, (2) it was a large enough space making it an easy decision to open up the event to anyone who wanted to attend, (3) lots of potential new members would be able to attend allowing us to have a membership drive during the event, (4) we were able to have our very own Michael Block and Jeff Hodge present to discuss their accomplishments in their rookie year as participants in the Great Race, (5) Lured Market & Grill has been the first point of contact since Helene for first responders, so any donations received could be distributed to local residents as part of the ongoing relief efforts, and (6) the event brought people from all around in to support this local business and help them to continue their efforts while the area is still trying to recover from this natural disaster.

We had members from Great Smoky Mountains Region, Little Detroit Chapter, and South Carolina Region chapters attend the event. We also had other local car clubs join us including the Transylvania Cruisers and the Carolina Mountain Car Club. Lots of local residents, family, friends, and some prospective new members were in attendance as well. We are already reviewing what we can do next year to improve attendance.

In June of 1976, the Redwood Empire Region received its Charter from AACA.

In celebration of our 49th year, our monthly tour (yes, monthly except for December) took us through the back roads of Sonoma County, California, ending up in the town of Cazadero. Cazadero has a long history, from hunting retreat to a logging camp with a population of 354. The last train pulled out of Cazadero, California, on July 31, 1933. This event marked the end of passenger service on the Northwestern Pacific Railroad line to Cazadero. A mock funeral was held for the train's departure.

“Downtown” Cazadero has a General Store: an historic store with a long-standing reputation for providing daily necessities and local products. There is also a U.S. Post Office, Cazadero Supply (hardware and auto parts), St. Colman Catholic Church, Cazadero Community Church, Cazadero Fire Department, the train depot, and the restoration shop/museum of Willys America (known worldwide to Willys people).

Willys America is owned by club members Paul and Jane Barry. Both are very much involved with the Russian River Historical Society (of which Jane is President). RRHS is preserving the history of the Cazadero area. Our catered lunch was held behind the Cazadero Train Depot. The buildings were built by RRHS Vice President John Schubert who was a railroad buff. Before he died, he donated them to the Cazadero Community Services District. Our meal was arranged by club members Hans and Pamela Enz and prepared by Michael Enz and business partner Shovanny. After lunch, Paul gave an extensive tour of the Willys America facilities with a live demonstration of the working of a 1927 Mack 35’ Gorter Water Tower.

Some of the members L to R:

Alvin Hasin, Jim Stewart, President Mayilyn Chiotti, Dave Chiotti, Tim Hall, Cecilia & Ray Johnson, Linda Hall, Cathy Wall  

Lunch behind the Depot

This is the only official AACA recommended car show sign and is intended for use at AACA events. The AACA car sign format, styled similarly to other Concours signs, when properly weighted or staked would limit potential damage to vehicles if bumped or blown. Signs are 16.5" tall and 12" wide and are made of hard plastic to withstand the elements. These signs are only available to AACA members and are custom created to tell your vehicle's story and history.

AACA car signs cost $45 plus shipping and handling. Add an image or images for $5 each. PA residents also pay sales tax.

Please allow 4-5 weeks for the entire process from start to finish.
