THE FUN GROUP – read all about the Hershey experience on pages 6 ,7 & 8. This was THE year for
weather - the delicious breakfasts cooked by Chef Gunnarson, Chef Mensinger and Chef Wendy Piper and
the huge club outings at the Penn Hotel every night. Will you be included in this group next year?
November 2004
W
hat a month October was! Ken Burns and Don Lombard deserve a huge thanks for the
planning of one of the best Lebkicker tours in recent memory.... educational, fun, and packed
with non stop activity. Thanks to you both. And the winner is: Hank Dubois very deservedly
received the annual Lebkicker award. Hank has never said no to anyone in need of help, be it with old
Fords or other non auto related matters. Very active and knowledgeable are other traits that helped give
the award to Hank. Congratulations to a very worthy winner.
The weather gods smiled on Hershey this year. The Flathead Grille banner marked the spot where Dave
Gunnarson, Wendy Pieper and Greg Mensinger prepared breakfast Thursday and Friday mornings at
the club's camp site. As a result, everyone enjoyed full tummies before heading out to find their essential
treasures. While traveling about, Greg spotted the front clip of a 1938 standard and suggested it would
make a great desk. I agreed and it was loaded into the truck (see upper right photo). Shortly after, we
bumped into Von Hardesty who asked if I was looking for anything in particular. This prompted the
response that a 1956 dash would be nice to add to my Ford dashboard collection display. Within 5
minutes, Von pointed to a vender's sign stating "Parting out '56's" and I'm now expecting a long heavy box
from UPS. Wendy was able to find a few treasures so we Pieper's consider the weekend successful.
Cliff and Sandra Green will once again be our hosts at the annual Christmas party dinner which is fast
approaching (December 4th). If you have attended before, there is no need to "sell it". If you are a new
member, don't miss it. Call me, (703)860-2801, to make reservations. We need to know the number in
your party and what meal selections you have chosen. Please refer to the ad on another page for details....
and don't forget, if you want to participate in the secret Santa gift exchange, bring a wrapped car-related
gift.
This month's membership meeting (9th) will feature a presentation on early Ford brakes. Our best
programs comes from our own members and this month will spot light Eric 'juice' Sumner and Hank 'all
steel - pedal to wheel' Dubois. See you there,
Steve

FOR THE LADIES
Here we have two stunning ladies, dressed for (a) Church
(b) Lunch (c) going to work or (d) shopping for a car.
Perhaps all of the above except (d). This publicity shot of
the new ’47 Ford (you can tell because the parking lights
are below the headlights instead of above the grill) and these
cars were still hard to come by right after the war. It was a
“sellers” market and you had to wait in line, so even ladies
had to put their name on a list to get one – maybe. 1947
marked the death of Henry Ford. BTY – ask you hubby if
he knows the year!
TECH TIP - Editor
Prior to the Lebkicker Tour, I did the usual trip preparations.
The ’40 always started with a touch of the button but was
running on the hot side, even with “Skips” high flow water
pumps. I suspected that perhaps the timing was off, so
pulled the distributor and discovered that the “Break” set of
points (the one that collapses the coil) was closed up to
under .010. Thus, like the Model A, it starts great retarded,
but never got to full advance. I have a KRW V-126 timing
fixture that sets up the V8 distributor for timing and dwell
and tuned that hummer up right on the money. The car has
never run so well. So, over time, those points have to be
checked and I am willing to set up your distributor. Call for
an appointment.
Lombard, Parkers, Dubois’,Greens,Burns’ Blums, Morrison,,
Girman Not shown – Clem Clement & Harry Neal
After the awards (Don Lombard received a watch as a door
prize) the 125 cars paraded around the grounds so that the
infirmed vets could see the cars from their buildings. A
good time by all.
FALL CARLISLE
Bill Selley and the Editor went up to Carlisle on Thursday
and arrived in the Flea Market at 7:30. The crowd was thin
and you can park real close. This was the first time that I
had been to this show in a while because there never any
flathead parts or cars to speak off. This year I was presently
surprised by the abundance of parts and I could have bought
some interesting cars in the corral. We spotted a few
NVRG people including Chad & Evelyn Coombs and Nick
Arrington who were vending. The chicken corn soup is a
special delight!
ARMED FORCES RETIREMENT HOME
OCTOBER MEETING
A full house at the historic Hunter House viewed 200 plus
images of the Hershey event – interesting that all but two
members attended the fall classic. It is always fun to kibitz
and make comments. Thanks to Jim McDaniel for providing
the laptop and projector.
The NVRG gathered with the Model A Cub and caravaned
into the District for the 47th Annual Antique Auto
Assembly at the AFRH. A beautiful day on beautiful
grounds, plus free coffee, juice , donuts , bagels to entrants.
This is the only show that does not require a registration fee!
Cliff Green’s ’40 Woodie was on the plaque as it won the
Commanders Trophy last year.

SELLEY SELLS!
Bill Selley sold his ’41 Ford Panel truck to member and
collector Von Hardesty. He had advertised it in the V8
TIMES and we are glad to see the vehicle remain in the club.

2004 Lebkicker Tour
Bill & Liz Simons
On a Friday morning, October 22nd, the usual
suspects assembled at Fair Oaks Mall at 9:00 AM
on an overcast, damp, drizzly morning. Arriving
in pairs and on time
were the Greens [’40
woodie], Burns [’41
woodie], Girmans [’53
Victoria],
Piepers
[’57
ch#+y]
Simons
[’34 Tudor] and Don
Lombard [’57 conv.].
We waited about 30
minutes for any more
latecomers and then
headed north on Route
7 where we picked up the Amsters near Leesburg.
automobile clocks. Some of them, such as the
Sandoz-Vielle, can be seen for sale on the
vendor fields at Hershey, but there were many
that were most unusual and rarely seen.
Motoring
on,
we
all
checked
into
the
Soudersburg Motel. On the way, the Simons ’34
turned into a “Stanley Steamer,” so we all
pulled into a church parking lot for a diagnosis.
As no leaks were visible, Ken Burns donated 1
½ gallons of water to the radiator, and the
Stanley Steamer was no more.
Dinner Friday
night at the Iron Horse Inn was excellent and,
better yet, we added Linda and Leo Cummings to
our group.
We proceeded across the Potomac at Point-ofRocks and continued northeast across the Maryland
countryside to Hanover, Pennsylvania for lunch at
the Happy Belly Deli. There was a brief rest stop
on the way to Hanover when the Burnsmobile began
sputtering, but a couple of well-placed whacks
with a screwdriver handle on the carburetor freed
up the needle valve, and we were back on the road.
The Happy Belly Deli was connected to an old
hotel in town, and was filled with New York
Yankee baseball memorabilia. Consequently, the
Greens and the Amsters had to eat their sandwiches
staring at a full-size poster of a grinning Yankee’s
shortstop, Derek Jeter.
We continued our drive
over to Columbia, Pennsylvania where we would
visit the National Watch and Clock Museum, and,
as we did, the clouds parted and out came blue sky
and sunshine.
Saturday morning broke cold and clear and, at
31°, white frost covered the cars. Breakfast was
a quick sprint across US Route 30 to a popular
Amish restaurant where two pancakes and a large
orange juice cost $2.47, including tax. We made
the short drive to the Strasburg Railroad museum
and arrived when it opened at 10:00 AM. Once
past the ticket counter, the museum building
opened into two large sections, one older and
one modern.
Both sections contained actual
restored locomotives, both steam and diesel,
along with a variety of other types of rail cars.
There were tank cars, antique steam engines,
baggage cars, and a caboose.
Leo Cummings shared with the group that both
his father and his grandfather worked for the
railroad for their entire working lives. In fact,
Leo’s grandfather lost both legs below the knees
in a railroad accident at the age of 19, but it
didn’t slow him down a bit. As Leo says, he
married, raised 10 children, and, with the help
of prosthetics, continued his career with
railroad!

display of time pieces was truly amazing, from

and

“tall

(a.k.a.
“grandfather clocks”) to a wonderful display of
American railroad pocket watches.

most interesting rooms was filled with all kinds of

At noon, some of us grabbed a quick sandwich
before boarding a restored steam train for a ride
to the neighboring town of Paradise. The train
wound its way through woods and rolling
farmland on a round trip of about one hour. We
passed by a corn maze and a rural fair for
children while riding the comfort a beautifully
restored 100-year-old parlor car. The afternoon
was free to pursue our own interests. Some went
antiquing, some shopping, while John and Patty
Girman explored the several covered bridges in
the area.

a close second. Both members were a huge help
to Louise Vincent in sorting and auctioning off
all of Bill’s lifelong collection of cars and
assorted car-related items.
That
evening,
we
met
at
an
Amish
theater/restaurant complex to learn about the
Amish whose communities first began in America
in the 1700’s. The Amish fled across the Atlantic
from Germany in search of the religious freedom.
(Using the land he had been granted by England,
William Penn offered sanctuary to any religious
group seeking asylum.) Prior to our planned
activities, though, John Girman pulled together
an impromptu buggy ride down country roads on a
horse-drawn open carriage! We all marveled in
the two horses’ ability to pull this load of
thirteen people, plus our gap toothed driver, as
we wound our way through two Amish farms,
purchasing some home made items from children
there.
Sunday morning was cool and cloudy. We set off
for a very interesting tour and lecture at a
restored Amish farm, maintained so that tourists
can get a feel for the actual workings of Amish
farm life, although no Amish actually live there.
After a great 11:00 brunch (all-you-can-eat is a
staple in Amish country!), we followed our
fearless leaders, Don Lombard and Ken Burns,
through the Pennsylvania and Maryland country
sides and back home to Virginia with only a few
unscheduled u-turns along the way. HATS OFF to
Don and Ken for organizing one of the best
Lebkicker tours ever.
Back at the theater complex, we watched a movie
about the choice an Amish teenager had to make
about being baptized into the Amish community.
Amish children are not baptized in infancy, but,
by the age of 19 or 20, are expected to choose
either to be baptized into or to leave the
community.
Not surprisingly, 95% of Amish
children choose to remain in the community. We
also learned that the Amish have their own
schools and are required to attend them only
through 8th grade.
Dinner was next door, served family style, with
an impressive dessert selection!
After dinner,
Ken Burns announced that Hank Dubois had won
the coveted Lebkicker Award, with Jason Javaras

Hershey 2004: The best weather ever
Ken Gross
Hershey’s remarkably fine weather this year, every day,
was perhaps the ultimate payback for years of generally wet
and soggy AACA Fall Meets. But the asphalt pavement which seems to grow each year -- is disconcerting and, I
think, much harder on aging legs and ankles than the more
resilient grass surface. While I’m grumbling, the “new”
aisles are just a bit too wide for continuous criss-crossing
and the remotely-located Car Corral has become a
tiresomely slow bridge crawl during peak hours.
That said, the Hershey event still retains much of its homey charm, and the White field, once small aircraft landing
strip (anybody else remember that?), seems to be the last
bastion of the way things were. I’ll be disappointed if they
pave it over, or worse, move those vendors to a new
hardpack area with a fresh color designation.
The racing crowd, who sued to be centrally located in the
green field have been relegated to a sideshow behind the
stadium. Years ago, when I owned a Vincent Black Shadow
motorcycle, Vincent Club member from all over the
Northeast and Central States used to gather just under the
Northeast corner of the grandstand for tire kicking and
mutual machine admiration. Those days are past, and
there’s nary a Vin to be seen, but the racing crowd,
especially Jimmy Etter and Dick Greene, had plenty of
mouthwatering magnesium, rare rubber and photography to
entice the roundy-round gang.
For old Ford fans, there was lots to see. I spoke with the
owner of a red ‘40 DeLuxe coupe with Florida plates, who
parked his car in the Corral. “No,” he said, “it’s not for sale.
I just want a convenient parking place every day and I’m
willing to pay for it.” His car had a stock engine, dual
exhaust and oversized 6.50:16 wide whites.
Speaking of ‘40s,
Cliff snapped a shot
of a freshly-restored
Folkstone
Gray,
stock-appearing
DeLuxe convertible
in the White Field.
Under the hood was a
thoroughly warmedup
flattie
with
Offenhauser heads and a triple manifold. I didn’t hear it
run, but it looked very nice. I think the price was in the
mid-$40s, and when I saw it last on Friday, it was still
unsold.
There was a ‘40 sedan delivery in the auction that brought
big bucks, and the usual gaggle of very decent Early V-8¹ s.
I was intrigued with a Silver Wing Gray ‘38 coupe in the
Car Corral and the owner, from Georgia, I think, was
understandably pleased with a sale that brought him a
check in the high $20’s.
I regret not making it to your campground again this year too many scheduled evening events. But I did see a lot of
Club members walking around, especially at the car show.
The EFV-8 lineup on Saturday was impressive. I’d have
happily taken home anything in Class 28D (‘46-‘48 Fords),
especially that gray ‘46 Business coupe (Frank Mundy’s?).
Walking the lines of Early Fords helped me appreciate
some of the great colors of the ‘40s era: Nile Blue Green,
Blue Gray Poly, Glade Green and Cloudmist Gray, to name
a few. They were all on display for us to admire, on a
bright, sunny day that you just wanted to bottle, and keep
forever.
Oh, and manifolds - I missed a rare Anderson triple that
Bob Whitehead snagged for $350, and he was crowing after
selling his Challenge 2X2 to a Canadian collector for
$2200! Too much for me. I missed on a Shanafelt that the
owner said he intended to sell on ebay. I did manage to
negotiate for a Navarro “dogbone” 2X2. I have the exhaust
heated section from Barney himself just needed the
manifold. It was designed so you could run the complete
intake in the winter, then remove the exhaust-heated top
section for summer or competition use and put a finned
block-off plate over the open center port.
Look, I might grumble about the changes, but give me that
crisp early morning Hershey Fall air, with a hint of chill,
the smell of chocolate, those wonderful cars and old friends
and I’m happy. See you next October? I wouldn¹ t miss it. –
Impressions of the Hershey invasion
Jim LaBaugh
Ken Burns noted the vendors’ balloons in the sky above
Hershey had the look of the barrage balloons over the
invasion fleet off Normandy in June of 1944. Ken, Dave
Gunnarson and I were walking up the hill from the club
campground behind Longmead Farm when Ken pointed
this out – the balloons being my first view of the spectacle
that is Hershey. The invasion of Hershey by throngs of car
enthusiasts was aimed at landing on the Red, White, Blue,
Chocolate, and Show fields. All were intent on finding,
and freeing, long-sought after car parts from the multitude
of vendors at the show. The vast nature of the show is hard
to convey in words, particularly since from ground level,
the row upon row of tents, trailers, campers, and parts were,
in their own way, like the hedgerows of the bocage that
confronted Allied forces in the French countryside 60 years
ago.
As a first-time visitor to Hershey, I was impressed by the
fact it took three full days to walk through all of the fields.
The incredible variety of parts and other memorabilia was
amazing. This variety reminded me of the old New England
General Store saying “If we don’t have it, you don’t need
it!”. That applies to Hershey, and then some. I never

imagined, for example, that there would be so many brass
parts still for sale for cars that ceased manufacture almost
one hundred years ago. Seeing the acetylene flame in brass
lamps at night on a pre-war (World War I that is) Buick
driving around the car corral one evening made me
appreciate the courage of those who ventured out on dirt
roads at night back then.
The amount of communication equipment in evidence
among the throngs on the fields was staggering. It was
quickly evident that maneuvers around all of the fields were
greatly aided by the thousands of cell phones and radios in
use. The airwaves crackled with club members telling each
other where to zero in on particular finds, such as toe
boards for a ’35 Stake trucks, or unopened containers of
original Ford Fluids. The cooperative spirit of club
members, tent-side breakfasts, afternoon gatherings at
camp, and evening meals at the Penn Hotel reinforced to
me what a great club we are members of, as well as the
incredible camaraderie of one and all.
their own personal diamond (often in the real rough) to
further or complete their projects.
A good number of the hearty Virginia crowd observed the
usual camping ritual at their water-front site. Although I’m
not too sure WHAT that water is, I remain supportive and
respectful of their chosen form of torture. To borrow a
descriptor from one of my sisters: My idea of roughing it is
staying in a motel that doesn’t have a restaurant. I had
elected to stay at the same motel as about eight other
NVRG members, although we did enjoy the wonderful
gourmet breakfast on Friday at the campsite prepared by
Wendy Pieper and Dave Gunnarson.
I considered myself fortunate since I thought I was neither
in need of, nor looking for anything in particular, which
would afford me the pleasure of wandering throughout at
my own pace observing as much as I could. I had learned
from prior trips that wandering alone generally works best
for me. That way, I don’t worry about spending too much
time at a spot and slowing anyone else down. Bill Simons
and others had warned me that there WAS something out
there that I needed. “You”, he told me, “just don’t know
what it is yet. You will when you see it, though.” Of course
he was right, so I got one of those shopping carts the
venders of Chinese tools were selling, just in case this
unknown, must-have, was big. I did end up with a power
steering pump for the ’57 convertible, and a few other
incidentals. However, the real pleasures came with the noon
time rendezvous at Hershey World for lunch and comparing
stories. Of course, being surrounded by all that chocolate
didn’t hurt the atmosphere. One day, when I felt I needed a
break from the tables of treasures outside, I took an
extended break and went to the 3D movie showing the
history of Hershey. Although, intended primarily for kids, I
enjoyed it. (Sort of tells you where I’m at, doesn’t it?)
Seven weeks after the landings in Normandy, my father, a
Seabee, landed on Guam, following in the footsteps of the
marines who had stormed the invasion beaches hours
before. I was fortunate to walk those same beaches on
Guam many years later on a business trip to the island, and
connect in a small way to part of my father’s past. I never
had the opportunity to walk the fields of Hershey with my
father, although he visited them often. Now, during my
first trip to Hershey, I felt like I was following in his
footsteps, glad to experience another connection with him,
and awed by this truly American automotive extravaganza.
Hershey Experience
Don Lombard
This was my third outing to the Hershey Experience. As
with the two prior events I attended, shock and awe, to use
a somewhat contemporary phrase, overwhelms me at the
sight of so many people and “stuff” gathered in this one
place for these few days. Yet the entire town is permeated
with car people and their dreams of success at securing
VALVE cLATTER
The most pleasant of the experiences, however, were the
nightly socializing we all did at the Penn Hotel and Sports
Bar. There we all met, sometimes close to 30 of us, for the
evening meal and friendship. I believe we may have had the
largest number of a “semi” organized” club activity

function, other than the host Hershey AACA members.
Following the evening meal, we spent some time in the
“Field of Dreams”, AKA the car coral under the lights.
There, as more eloquent authors have described all manner of
clunkers gleam and become Cinderella. Following this stroll,
we wandered into the Car auction, where more Cinderella
100-footers showed their stuff.
As mentioned the auction Thursday night was not exciting,
however the cars that went across the block on Friday were
displayed in a huge tent and they were impressive!!
Dusenburgs, Auburns, woodies, brass cars – and they were
selling, many without reserve. I was especially interested in
a ’36 Ford Phaeton that went for $45k and a ’41 Pontiac
woodie for $65k.
All in all, it was a wonderful time with excellent company
and good friends. Certainly an annual must do ritual.

The famous “Flathead
Grill” was functioning at
the NVRG campsite.
Chef Gunnarson served
eggs
with
onions,
mushrooms, and green
peppers along with link
sausage, juice, fruit and coffee to the happy campers on
Thursday morning. Friday morning Chefs Wendy Pieper and
Greg Mensinger served
thick french toast with
Grand Manier marmalade
sauce and thick bacon,
fruit bowl and juices,
coffee. The grill served
18 happy campers and
motel guests.
Every afternoon the
troops would drift into
the campsite on weary
feet for the social hour. Off would go the shoes and the beer
and tales would flow. It would be “show and tell” with the
finds in the flea market. The beautiful weather and mild
temperatures added to the enjoyment.

Cliff: Just a quick note of appreciation for the NVRG and
the great people who are a part of it. This past weekend
(10/16) Eric Sumner had the patience to teach me (and
help me!) change the oil and coolant in my '51 Victoria.
And as proof of what a great teacher he is, I didn't destroy
anything! Thanks to Eric and the NVRG for all the
knowledge and assistance they provide to help us take
care of our great old cars. The NVRG is indeed a
wonderful group.
