I am happy to report there has been lots of progress on the continued project of restoring our club fire truck. We are about ¾ of the way to its completion. We were able to get the engine started and running last week, what a sweet sound and there was quite a round of applause. There are many finishing touches that still need to be done, but the majority of the reassembly is finished. There is still wiring, mounting the…
We had a beautiful day for our tour which began at the Dunkin donuts in Denville on Sunday, May 18th. Eight Model A’s and one Pontiac departed, traveling through Parsippany, Mor-ris Plains and Morristown. The route took us along the quiet country roads of Harding Township and then downtown Madison making our first stop at Rusty King’s, a past member of our club. Rusty has an overwhelming collection of player pianos and juke boxes. The pianos are coin operated for…
I would like to acknowledge everyone who had made a donation to MAYRA – Model A Youth Restoration Award – at our last meeting. Our club members were very generous and the MAYRA scholarship must be successful so our hobby can stay strong for years to come. These young people are our future Model A club members. Thank you to all involved. The fire truck is coming along. Most of the sheet-metal is mounted and is starting to look like…
Touring season is here. Garage clinics are coming. Nice weather is just around the corner. It is time to drive our Model A’s. Come on out and join a tour. First for the fun, second to exercise your car, and third to support our tour leaders. The tour leaders work hard to put the tours together. I would like to thank everyone who is planning a tour for the club this year. The tours are a great part of what…
April showers bring May flowers but it also washes the salt off the road. With the salt gone, we can start our touring season. It’s time to get the Model A out and start driving with theclub, go out for a ride by yourself, or run a tour. This is why we have our cars! The fire truck is moving along. The frame is ready. The parts are ready for paint and everything is getting close to becoming a bright…
Cold weather, who needs it? Actually it is a good excuse to get into the garage and work on your Model A or think about running a tour. So get out there and do what needs to be done. The fire truck restoration is in full swing. The truck is disassembled, sandblasted and ready for paint. A big thank you to all that helped out with this project so far. There is more to come so be ready to lend a…
There isn’t much that can be said about this event that hasn’t already been said. The weather was spectacular considering 24 hours earlier it was snowing. The fire was almost smokeless and a pleasure to watch. The selection of firearms available for our shooting pleasure was more than adequate and the food was not only plentiful but delicious. The cabin in the woods was again the perfect place for us to gather and enjoy the great outdoors with all of…
Once again, Happy New Year to everyone. I would like to thank everyone for allowing me to be the President of our great club for another year. Thank you. There are some great things planned for this year. The tours are starting to be planned. The fire truck has been taken apart for painting. This is a big project for the club to undertake. Please lend a hand on reassembly when the parts start coming back from the youth of…

Some members are with us and some are with us in spirit, but I am very grateful for everyone. We all should treasure the time that we have together. I would like to thank everyone who has contributed this year for making our club a great one.…
