Well, spring is finally here! The roads are salt free and the temperatures are climbing. We just had another successful garage clinic at Ed’s garage. Now that we all have our cars ready it’s time to start driving and touring. The first tour is the poker run on April 19th. It’s being run by John and Rita Morgan. Hopefully the weather will work in our favor and we’ll have a decent turn out. Remember the Steve Ryan Trexlertown Swap meet…
Well, March is here bringing warmer weather! Hopefully our thoughts are turning to our cars and dreaming of car shows, swap meets and tours. Now is the time for service and minor repairs for the upcoming year. On that note a quick reminder that March 28th will be the garage clinic at Ed Saniewwski’s garage in Denville, NJ. If you have a problem and would like the clubs help, contact Ed and let him know. This will give him time…
Here we are in the deep freeze of February! Cars are put away and with the roads the way they are they’re in no condition to be out with the snow and salt. Now is the time for maintenance and repairs in order to get ready for the upcoming touring season. It’s also time to think about the upcoming garage clinics, so if you have an issue you want help with talk with Ed Saniewski to start setting it up.…

I would also like to thank Jeff Vanderhoff for all of his efforts in the last two years to the betterment of the club. At the January meeting we discussed this…
Submitted by: Jeff Vanderhoff I would like to thank everyone that donated and attended the “Food Cruise” this year. I think it is a great cause for our club to be involved with. This should be continued and it is something that everyone could participate in. There are some new and exciting things that are going to be in the newsletter next year. Matt and his team are doing a great job by keeping us all informed of club events…

If you haven’t taken it out for a ride, do so. It is a lot of fun…

Fall is approaching and so is the end of the year. The cooler mornings remind me to get out and drive my Model A. We have some great upcoming events planned for driving. The club picnic, the fall foliage tour, the frostbite tour…. along with other things that are coming soon. I think this is the best time to tour due to the weather. And then there is Hershey. This is one of my favorite things to do. It’s not…
The firetruck project is nearly completed and it is a beautiful truck. The truck was taken to the national meet in Gettysburg this June. It was admired by the spectators and scored very well in touring class. It was a lot of fun touring the Gettysburg Battle Grounds and of course, ice cream after. The fire truck is for all of us to enjoy, so get it out and take it for a drive. Let’s not forget about the…
It is nice to see old members stop by our meetings. At our last meeting, Glen Sweerts paid the club a visit. He mentioned some old memories and spoke about past members. He also dropped off a box of parts. These parts were distributed to members at the meeting. Thank you Glen. On a sad note, this is Joan Kimball’s last newsletter. After 31 years, Joan has decided to retire her position as our newsletter publisher. I would like to…
I would like to acknowledge everyone who had made a donation to MAYRA – Model A Youth Restoration Award – at our last meeting.

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…

November2024 What a great time of the year. Crisp mornings and great touring weather are here, not to mention the Hershey fall meet also. It is great to see we have members that are vendors at the flea market. I ran into about 13 members of our club while at the Hershey fall meet in the flea market fields, well, not in the fields, but on the pavement. Do you remember all the mud? If you have never been to…
