I have no doubt that each of you holds some level of real pride in this hobby and your involvement in it. (You wouldn't be taking the time to read this newsletter if you didn't!)
When you pop your head into the garage and see your baby sitting there, do you instantly smile? That's pride in your vehicle.
When you are with your car at a show and someone asks a question, do you talk for 15 minutes about all of the restoration projects you've completed to get it to where it is now? That's pride in your work.
When your kids or grandkids ask you to tell them stories about how you fell in love with antique cars, do you also include a few statements about why preserving these cars is so important? That's pride in your hobby.
When friends, family and acquaintances know you as the "car guy/gal" and ask you what the best car club to belong to is, do you answer AACA without hesitation? That's pride in your organization.
Do YOU have AACA pride? Your pride in this hobby and AACA can be show in a multitude of ways - everything from what you wear to how you act. Do you wear AACA gear - shirts, hats, etc.? Do you have AACA decals on your trailers and badges on your cars? Do you display your AACA awards proudly in your home or garage? Have you donated items to the AACA library? Are you planning to make a donation to the new AACA HQ building? Are you hosting an AACA event (National or local) to promote the club?
I'm sure you can think of a million other ways to show your pride - these are just the few that I thought of while writing this article. So, now's your chance...
SHOW US YOUR AACA PRIDE!
Take a photo of how YOU show your AACA pride and email it to me. I will put together a collage of pride photos and share them in the next Speedster.

A Weekend of Cars & Causes at The Hotel Hershey

The Elegance at Hershey to be Held June 7-9
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 a three-day weekend event at the historic and magnificent Hotel Hershey in Hershey, PA. In just a few short years, The Elegance has become known as one of the hottest events to attend and is very proud to have donated over one million dollars to its three charities.
The Grand Ascent - June 7 & 8, 9 am - 4 pm; $10 tickets per person

Celebrate Collector Car Appreciation Day in July
|
The SEMA Action Network (SAN) announced that the next Collector Car Appreciation Day (CCAD) will be officially celebrated on July 12, 2019. The date marks the tenth consecutive commemoration in what is now an annual event to raise awareness of the vital role automotive restoration and collection plays in American society.
Intended to celebrate the classics of the past and the future, the U.S. Congress has helped launch CCAD by introducing resolutions each year at the SAN's request. The previous resolutions were sponsored by co-chairs of the SEMA-supported Congressional Automotive Performance and Motorsports Caucus. These Congressional leaders have been strong advocates for the automotive hobby in Washington, D.C., and recognize the integral role collector cars have played in fostering our nation's appreciation for the automobile's unique historical place in our history.
A list of officially scheduled events to commemorate America's time-tested love affair with the automobile can be found here. Individuals, car clubs and business owners interested in publicizing events may submit the details of their July celebration at no cost using this link. Participating organizers will be awarded a copy of the Congressional resolution for display at their registered event. For those unable to celebrate on July 12, the SAN encourages events to be scheduled throughout the month of July 2019.
CELEBRATE OUR HOBBY YOUR WAY!
- ATTEND an official vehicle-inspired event
- HOST your own gathering or club meeting
- Promote a "HOLIDAY SALE" at your business
- INVITE partnerships with nearby enthusiast-related groups
- DRIVE your special ride, new or old, whatever the destination

Have you seen the latest Capital Campaign video? This video features stories and thoughts from some of your favorite AACA HQ staffers and several member volunteers.
This is the third video in the series. If you missed the first two, please visit our Capital Campaign website to view them. If you have not made a donation to the new building fund yet, you can also do that on this website.
Thanks to the videography and editing skills of Mike Reilly in the AACA Library, we have several more videos planned. Here's where we would like to ask for your assistance... We would love to include as many AACA members in a special video as we can. You can simply shoot your video with your phone or a video camera. And, your video doesn't have to be long - under 5 minutes would be perfect!
Make sure to introduce yourself first (name and city, state) and think about answering any or all of these questions in your video:
1. How did your love of cars begin?
2. When and how did you first get involved with AACA?
3. Why do you love AACA?
4. What does AACA mean to you?
Preferred video format: horizontal/wide screen - NOT vertical; full HD
Video hints/ideas: sit inside or stand next to your antique car while shooting your video; stand in front of your wall of awards/plaques or your trailer that has an AACA logo decal on it; maybe shoot your video at a cruise-in event or car show; make sure you
stand close enough to the camera so that the audio is picked up well enough.
Region/Chapter project: if you have someone who is good with shooting videos on their phone/camera, have them record videos for your members at your next meeting or event.
If you would like to participate, please send a quick email to
Stacy or
Mike and we can provide any assistance you need.
We can't wait to see your videos!

Reflecting on My Internship at the AACA Library & Research Center
By Spencer Paterick, AACA Library Intern
Over the past four months, I have had the opportunity to serve as an intern at the AACA Library and Research Center in Hershey. Along the way, I have been able to work on a variety of projects and assignments, from working on research requests to writing an article for Antique Automobile magazine. I have not only learned more about antique automobiles and the old car hobby, but I have also learned a little more about myself.
From the first day that I began the internship, Chris, Mike, Matt and the AACA HQ staff were extremely welcoming and willing to answer any questions that I had. Whether I had a simple question, or needed help with something more involved, someone was always there to help. Chris, Mike, and Matt were always more than willing to share their expertise with me. It was very encouraging to know that I could always ask for assistance if I needed it. I was also delighted to find out that I was allowed to have some of the various snacks out in the main office.
Through research requests, the sorting of advertisements and sales literature and many other assignments, I was able to learn more about all different types of vehicles and manufacturers. When working on a research requests, I would often come across many unique features or facts regarding the car that I was dealing with.
Out of the many vehicles that I dealt with, there was one in particular that stood out to me - the 1957 Dual Ghia. Chris had asked me to find some facts and statistics for the car. I located a book from the Library's collection, and was amazed with what I found. The history behind the vehicle was fascinating, and I never knew about the lengthy and unique process that went into its assembly. I was also amazed by how much the vehicle is worth in today's market.
 One task that excited me from the moment Chris told me about it was the opportunity to write an article for the club's magazine. I focused on writing a Jeep history article that would be interesting and informative. I was happy with the finished product that I had produced, and could not wait to see it in the print version of the magazine. (Look for Spencer's article in the May/June 2019 issue of Antique Automobile.)
During these past four months, there was not a day that I was reluctant to come into the library. I always looked forward to it and approached each day with a positive attitude and a willingness to work. I learned how important it is to approach everything with an open mind and an attitude that allows me to present myself as someone who offers valuable skills and knowledge.
I think it is safe to say that I learned something new on each project or task I worked on and, with very few exceptions, was interested in the assignments that I was given. I am grateful for the amazing opportunity to serve as an intern at the Library and Research Center, and it was incredible to see how the work done at the library influences the antique automobile hobby.
Thank you to the wonderful AACA staff in Hershey
for
allowing me to be part of the team for the past four months!
We were thrilled to work with Spencer these past four months and appreciate all of the hard work he has brought to the table. We are pleased to announce that he will be working part-time with us throughout the summer one day a week. You might even run into him the next time you're in the area!

Planting the Seeds of Appreciation of Old Cars in Our Younger Generation
Sitting in my chair on February 20 looking at the snow coming down, reading
Hemming's Classic Cars, the article said that "we're in the hobby because we love old cars."
I have enjoyed old cars since I was 11 years old and was working on cars for friends from then on.
I bought my first car, which was my first mode of transportation, when I was 16 years old. It was 34 years old when I bought it. I fixed it up and made sure that it was roadworthy and would pass Pennsylvania state inspection.
After 56 years of ownership, I find my biggest joy now is sharing my love of old cars with my grandchildren.
Just last week, my youngest grandson Jackson (now 11 years old) said, "Pop Pop, let's get the Model A out and go for a ride."
After backing it out and turning it around in the driveway, I got out of the car and proceeded to have him slide into the driver seat and explained all about the break, clutch and gear shift. I proceeded to have him put it in first gear and ease the clutch out, which he did. He then drove down the driveway
 and stopped to get ready to make a right turn onto our road. I had him check his mirrors and also check for any other cars coming down the road.
(Just to ease your mind, we live in a very rural farming area with very few cars driving down our rural road.)
Jack proceeded down the road shifting from 1st to 2nd to 3rd. I told him to get ready to stop down the road at a mailbox. This was repeated for 2 ½ miles down our road, turning around at the end of the road. Then we proceeded again stopping again at every other mailbox. Stopping and shifting and getting more coordinated. I explained to him not to look at his hands or his feet or the gear shift leaver, but to keep his eyes on the road.
He was all smiles.
I had him stop and turn into our driveway, where his dad proceeded to take his picture. Jack turned off the ignition, set the hand break, stepped out of the car and said (while grinning like a mule eating briars), "I'm only 11 years old and I was driving dad!"
As I sit here thinking back, I basically did the same thing with my 3 sons who all drove the same car at around the same age. But none showed the same proficiency as Jack. He really had the knack down quickly. I also have had my granddaughter Emily at 12 years old (now 20), driving the same car.
Sitting here reflecting back to our latest acquisition, a 1939 Buick convertible, our two oldest granddaughters, Emily & Abby, came back after a ride in that convertible saying, "Pop Pop, we love this car and want you to will this car to us."
What better way to instill the love of old cars in the younger generation.
Old cars with no specific need for a radio or any other modern amenities to distract you - just the sound of the car and the wind. And enjoying something that is still special as they get older.

Hershey Update on the Red Field South Situation
|
By R. J. "Mac" MacAdam, Flea Market/Car Corral Registration Chairman,
 As many of you know, the Red Field South will be closed for the 2019 Eastern Fall Nationals in order to accommodate the staging of the construction equipment for the Hersheypark expansion project. We have just completed all the relocation assignments.
Due to the many back-to-back spaces involved, we are using 80 car corral spaces (which will be designated PTA thru PTE) and part of the tram spine starting at Tram Circle (which will be designated TTA) in order to accommodate everyone. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, vendors in those areas will return to their previously-held spaces in the Red Field South for the 2020 Eastern Fall Nationals.

Trivia Answer

This Triumph Herald-powered, amphibious Amphicar was rated at 7 knots in the water, and 70 miles per hour on land. Thus, the 770 model designation.
