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…
October 2024 Hello All! We are coming up on the best time of year. Soon the weather will be cooler and that means time to tour in our cars. I would like to say thank you to Dick Smith for hosting the Gymkhana. This year was my first one and I had a blast. If you missed it, plan to be there next year. You won’t be disappointed. There are a lot of fun upcoming events in our club remaining…

August 2024 Drive your car! Drive your car! How many times have you heard that phrase? We have several members in our club that drive their Model A’s often. The miles for the mileage program were tallied and some of our members were recognized for driving their cars. There were awards given out for a total of over ninety thousand miles. One member, not in the mileage program, has seventy five thousand miles on one engine. Congratulations to all who…
July 2024 The members of the club are ready for the sum-mer touring season, so let’s get out there and drive our cars. Let’s all get involved and come out and see just how much fun you can have on our tours. We are trying something different for a change. Come out on a Wednesday night, for the “Blue Arrow Tour”, to check out some dif-ferent makes and models of cars on display. If you haven’t been there, give it…
June 2024 Touring season is here. All our cars should be ready to drive and display for others to see. Speaking of displaying, if you missed the visit to Morris County Vo-Tech for our “May Model A Youth Month” activ-ity, you missed a good time. We displayed our cars for the students and they were very interested in all different areas of the cars. It was great to see that there is still an interest in older cars. So, if…
May 2024 Wow! What an exciting beginning to April, an earthquake and an eclipse. You never know what Mother Nature will throw our way. The club also has an exciting month in store for the members this April too. The club is in ready mode for all the tours we have scheduled. We will have our second garage clinic, a tour to Trexlertown, Knuth Farms, a mystery tour, and a visit to the Boonton Firemen’s Home. All good stuff. For…
April 2024 The club was busy last month with the cabin fever tour being split up into three events. First we visited the Sansone’s Tree Farm. Tom and Chris were busy making maple syrup. Tom was cooking the sap as he collected it from the trees. He showed us all about how to make maple syrup and a tour of the farm. It is a true labor of love for the time it takes, but it sure does taste good.…
WINTER CARNIVAL By: Jim Dunlap The third Sunday in January turned out to be a stellar day. We just finished up one of the coldest weeks this winter had so far. As the record breaking number of Winter Carnival participants made their way up the snow covered hill they were greeted by a roaring campfire and the bright and warming sun shining through the trees. The cabin was even more inviting with the warmth of the stove and the pleasant…
Well, here we are in the worst part of winter. Don’t let the cold temperatures and dreary weather keep you on the couch, be-cause the touring season is not too far away. I am sure there is something you can do on your Model A. For instance, I am working on getting some distributors and water pumps rebuilt. This is something you can do wherever it is warm. If you are not sure how to rebuild or have any questions…
