G
reetings! What a joy it is for me to continue to serve you as a member
of your Board of Directors! Thank you for this opportunity. The
Board is committed to and diligent in their efforts to maintain and improve
our organization. You can realize that by the quality of the monthly programs; the well planned and executed trips; the increased fellowship and
sharing; and the successful Charlotte AutoFair!
Following the election process this past year, I was asked to serve the region as Treasurer. Having experience with nursing budgets as a nurse manager for more than 10 years, I thought I would give it a try. Since assuming
Cheryl Cole
the position of Treasurer I have come to realize that the position is one of
great responsibility – and I haven’t even experienced Charlotte AutoFair as
Treasurer yet! The staff at the region office is very knowledgeable and answers all my concerns
and questions promptly and thoroughly. You can be assured that everyone is conscientious and
careful with HNR’s money. If you ever have any questions or concerns regarding the budget, don’t
hesitate to call me or Mel Carson. We will do everything we can to make sure you have an understanding of how we operate.
In the January Board of Directors meeting we reviewed the proposed 2013 budget, made adjustments as necessary, and approved a solid budget for our region. Having said this, I must admit that
after the vote I cautioned the Board that we had to “stay within our budget”. Charlotte AutoFair is
our big money maker and the commitment, sacrifice and work that each member makes is what
brings us success. Our benefits are realized all year long through monthly activities, monthly dinner meetings, extended trips, awards, fellowship and friendship – and even more.
The Board of Directors considers it our responsibility to make decisions with the best interest of
you and the club in mind as we meet and deliberate the issues facing us as a membership organization. As we look to the future of our club and our association within AACA, we are encouraged to
know that nationally we are recognized as one of the largest and most active regions. We encourage you to communicate freely with any and all of the Board members so our club can continue to
grow and be successful!
Again, thank you for allowing me the privilege of serving you. These past two years have been a
very positive and rewarding experience for me and I encourage you to say “yes” if and when the
Nominations Committee should call on you as a candidate for the Board of Directors. Hornets Nest Region, AACA Past Presidents:

Maintaining Regions’
and Chapters’ Vitality
By William Gardner VP
Central Division
Development and Support
During recent years, many AACA Regions and Chapters have been faced with challenges of maintaining and
growing their respective membership rolls.
These challenges are, in part, based upon: a) an inactive or aging
membership; b) a lack of good leadership within the organization; or c) attracting new AACA members to join
their Region or Chapter.
The following suggestions are provided for Regions
and Chapters to consider in addressing these challenges.
Regarding the inactive or aging membership challenge, Region and Chapters should consider examining
the date/time and type of their activities. Typical dinner
meetings could possibly be altered to luncheons or members could plan to arrange transportation for members
with transportation needs. Sometimes just altering the
meeting time or date could affect attendance. Addressing
the transportation needs of individuals can express to
them that their presence is still appreciated and welcomed. Finally, changing the types of activities could enhance attendance of inactive members.
A personal
phone call to an inactive member may initiate their participation in future activities.
Good leadership is essential for Regions and Chapters
to remain vital.
The elected officers should understand
their respective responsibilities and duties and be willing
to serve and abide by the adopted By-laws, in addition to
the principles and purposes of AACA. One aspect of a
good leader is the ability to request feedback from fellow
members regarding the types and associated costs of
activities and be open to suggestions. Another leadership
aspect is getting members involved and feeling a part of
the group. This could be accomplished by each member,
on a rotating basis, being responsible for a monthly meeting or outing. Inviting group participation is vital for the
continued success of the Region or Chapter. A third aspect is keeping the membership informed of future activities for planning purposes.
This can be accomplished
by having an active newsletter and/or website. Selection
of a good and dependable newsletter editor and webmaster is vital.
The third challenge of attracting new AACA members
can be addressed by fellow Region or Chapter members
looking for opportunites for membership growth when attending local antique car shows or cruise-ins. An AACA
application and local contact information can be placed on
Somewhere
Southeast of
Laramie
By Myron Smith
VP Youth Development
Somewhere southeast of Laramie....This is an unabashed take off on Ned Jordan’s famous 1920’s advertisement for his Jordan Playboy roadster—SOMEW HERE
WEST OF LARAMIE. I first learned of this slogan as feature writer Tim Howley wrote articles for a publication
called “Spoke Wheels” in the early 70’s or late 1960’s. I
believe this was a predecessor publication to “Old Cars
Weekly.”
Deferred Gratification. In the summer when I was 10,
we went on a wonderful summer vacation to Yellowstone
in a not very new ’59 El Camino. Along the way we
stopped at my mother’s cousins and I learned there were
many more interesting places in W yoming besides Yellowstone. From the majestic mountains to serene desolation grew the thought that I was one day going to own at
least one square inch of land in…W yoming.
Well, time passes, there were high school and college
graduations, car restorations, some funerals, a wedding,
a house remodel and a son to raise. The desire for W yoming land was dormant but never died. It was not until I
was in my 40’s that things lined up and we bought a little
place to camp-–a place where I go to relax…..somewhere
southeast of Laramie.
What does my childhood musing have to do with now?
We may never know what ride we might give, who we let
sit in our car, or just engaging in conversation with a
youth that will plant in them an idea that may not develop
for many years. If we want our hobby to grow, it’s up to all
of us to work on it.
Last year at one of the youth programs, there was a
girl that was totally enamored with a Mercedes Benz
roadster. She said, “Someday I’m going to own one like
that,” and who knows, maybe someday she will.
the windshield of an antique vehicle at these
events. Discussion of the benefits of an AACA membership with the vehicle owner is highly encouraged. After
joining AACA, the new member can then be recruited by
the respective Region of Chapter to join the local
club. Also, an AACA membership table could be established at these types of events.
I encourage each Region and Chapter to consider
these suggestions and develop other solutions in meeting
the challenge of maintaining their vitality.

Thoughts from the
Editor’s Desk
By Jerry Clemmons
704 214 0249
Email [email protected]
HNR’s phone tree shared the sad news:
“Long standing Hornets Nest Member Alton Grayson passed
away. Funeral arrangements are…”
After the initial shock, the next item fill my thoughts are great memories of Alton Grayson:
Alton and Kathy Grayson celebrating at HNR’s Christmas Party.
Did they look nice or what?
Next, brothers restoring an old car. After visiting Clifford Grayson’s
garage in April 2011 for a Members’ Parade Story, Clifford asked if
I’d return for a photo shoot when his Brother, Alton could be at the
garage. He stated there was no way he could have restored his ’39
Ford without Alton’s help. Alton and Cliff pooled efforts to restore
the car over a two year period. The tight bond between brothers became even stronger as they brought the old Ford back to life.
My memories and Linda Tucker’s are being shared on this page as a
celebration of the life of Hornets Nest Region Member Alton Grayson.
Tribute to Alton Grayson
By Linda Tucker
I
t was late October as Hornets Nest Members prepared for
some rest, relaxation and fellowship in the little town of Helen Georgia. The trip planned by HNR Members Dwight and Linda Jackson, promised the opportunity to take in the beauty of the
mountains and colorful buildings of Helen.
The Fall Victory Tour to Helen Georgia represented the harvest
of a successful Charlotte AutoFair. However, on October 22,
2013 another harvest took place, one that cast a dark cloud over
Hornets Nest Members, but brightened Heaven. On that day, we
lost Alton Grayson.
Dwain and I met Kathy and Alton Grayson in the 1980s through
the Shiner Organization. We called our Shiner Group “The Oldies,” a name derived from our interest in old cars. It was then that
we purchased our 1949 Buick to run in Shriner Parades.
Sometimes you meet people and instantly know they
are “Keepers.” That is how
it was with Kathy and Alton. Just last Wednesday,
Kathy and I were reliving
Shriner events. Shriner
Parades in Asheville, North
Carolina brought back
memories of weather ranging from shirtsleeve conditions to ice-in-the-air temperatures.
One year, we brought printed sweatshirts to sell as a fundraiser
for the Children’s Hospital. After bringing them into the convention center, we were told they could not be sold inside the building. Dwain and Alton left with the boxes of sweatshirts and returned shortly, having sold all of them from the trunk of the car.
When good people do good things, it can be a blessing.
On one Myrtle Beach trip, we gathered after dinner, telling stories until midnight. Afterwards Alton, who after parking his vehicle and trailer on the narrow street, was unable make a turn to
drive forward. Alton was given instructions from all the guys as
he backed the rig out. I do not believe he needed all the help.
Alton was a private person, full of patience and always willing to
do more than his share. Good friends are priceless. Respect and
treasure them, because when they are gone, the good memories
are all that remains. I hope those who read this will better know
and enjoy the life of Alton Grayson.
John Boles is currently putting together some of his
recollections of Alton Grayson. We will share John’s
memories, along with more pictures in December

Helen Georgia welcomes Hornets Nest Region’s Fall Victory Tour—Full coverage to appear in December MP

By Jerry Clemmons
I arrived early to set up camera and chairs in front of a 1969 Holman-Moody Mercury that Bobby formerly raced. At 10:30, Bobby
entered the museum, walking toward Members’ Parade’s camera
with his finger drawn. We shot our first picture and went to work.
Our interview begins as Alex Beam enters the museum to greet
Bobby Allison and asking about his wife.
Alex Beam to Bobby Allison: How is Judy (Bobby Allison’s Wife)
doing?
,
Bobby Allison to Alex Beam: Good. All the prayers helped. We
just returned a trip to Lake Champlain. Left Dover and got home at
12:30 Sunday. Good trip. Tommy (Bobby Allison’s Brother) did
some post cards of my early Chevelle. Did the cards with Bud
Moore.
Bobby Allison to Members’ Parade: Tommy is my big brother.
He is the youngest, but biggest at 6’ 2” and 250 pounds. He was on
that trip to Lake Champlain.
Members’ Parade: Where did you meet Judy?
O
ur story begins on March 9th, 2013 when Hornets Nest Region
traveled to Alex Beam’s Memory Lane Museum. NASCAR
Hall of Fame Member Bobby Allison showed up during the event.
A great many of our Members requested to have their picture taken
with Bobby. It was obvious he was a big hit with our club and it
occurred to me that he would make a good story for Members’ Parade. As we departed Memory Lane Museum en-route to our lunch
destination, I asked Bobby Allison about the possibility of an interview. Bobby Allison pulled out a card, wrote his cell number on the
back and advised to call him.
Fast forward to September 27, 2013. I dialed Bobby’s cell number.
He was in Pocono at the time and instructed to call back on Monday. On Monday, we scheduled a Wednesday October 2, 2013 interview at Memory Lane Museum, an ideal place because of the
presence of Bobby’s racecar.
Bobby Allison: I met that pretty little blonde in 1958 at the old
Hollywood Track in Florida. We were married in February 20th
1960.
Members’ Parade: How did you get interested in racing?
Bobby Allison: Grandpa Patton, my Mother’s Father, lived with us
in Florida. One day he said, ‘Come on Bobby, we’re going to the
car races. That was in 1948 at Opelika Air Base.
Members’ Parade: Where were you born?
Bobby Allison: Miami Florida. Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami.
Members’ Parade: I thought Alabama. What about Hueytown,
Alabama?
Bobby Allison: Hueytown, where we ended up living, is a suburb
10
of Birmingham. I had been racing in Florida, but heard there were
better paved tracks in Alabama. I decided to go check them out.
Mom said, ‘take Donnie with you.’
Members’ Parade: Do you remember the bait?
So, Donnie and I went to Alabama looking for good pavement. We
found it. The first week I came in second place at Dixie Speedway.
I could not run the second week and pouted. I won the second race
in Montgomery. My Brother, Donnie (Allison) ran good.
Members’ Parade: So, you still fish?
I went back to Florida to tell Red Farmer about the great Alabama
tracks and get him to come there to run with us. Red Farmer was
my hero in Florida. A great driver, Red won seven out of eight features in a single week in Florida. I always knew if I could beat Red
Farmer, I was doing good. Red Farmer came up. Red Farmer, Donnie and I regularly finished top three places in the Alabama races.
Members’ Parade: Did you take a boat on the trip?
Bobby Allison: Bagley Minnow crank bait. I still use them.
Bobby Allison: Yes, that is what we were doing at Lake Champlain.
Bobby Allison: No, a fan up there furnished the cottage, meals and
boat…everything.
Members’ Parade: Do you have old cars?
Members’ Parade: Where did the name ‘Alabama Gang’ originate?
Bobby Allison: There are different versions of the story, but Jack
Ingram is the one who came up with the name.
Word traveled that Red Farmer, Donnie and I had been winning all
the races on those Alabama tracks, regularly placing first, second
and third. We decided to go to Weaverville, North Carolina in 1961
to run a race. Jack Ingram saw the three of us pulling onto the track,
and said, ‘Oh no, here comes that Damn Alabama Gang.’
Members’ Parade: What is the best memory from your racing
years?
Bobby Allison: It should be the 1988 Daytona 500 I won at age
fifty with my Son, Davey right behind me. I don’t remember the
race. (Bobby Allison’s career ending wreck on June 19, 1988
caused the memory gap) But, I do remember winning the infield
fishing contest.
Bobby Allison’s 1933 Buick
Bobby Allison: No, Pocono (Crash) ended all that. I had fifteen old
cars at one time. This 1933 Buick was perfect. (Bobby shows picture of car)
Members’ Parade: How many did you catch?
Members’ Parade: What was the fastest car you ever drove?
Bobby Allison: They were not biting that day. I only caught two
fish, but that was all it took to win a new boat, motor and trailer.
Bobby Allison: I qualified at 211 MPH in 1987 at Talladega in the
Miller-American Buick to win the outside pole.
Members’ Parade: How big were they?
Bobby Allison: The second one was bigger. That’s the second one
I’m showing. (Holds up his hands to show the fish size)

Jan and Sonja with
their 1967 GTO
W
ith the city of Charlotte closing in on
them, the Kombs family made the decision to move out. Move out, they did. Before
building, they had to walk ¼ mile through
heavily wooded neighbor’s land to get to their
property. One would never know it today, as
the neighborhood, complete with private lake,
is beautifully developed. A canopy of trees
provide shade along the serpentine concrete
drive to the house.
Welcome to Jan and Sonja Kombs place. As
they walk out to meet me, I’m thinking, “Have
I ever seen either Sonja or Jan with a hair out
of place?” Sonja claims Jan is the neat one.
“Jan likes everything put away,” She claims.
The couple’s home, garage and cars all reflect
that philosophy. In fact, their garage might be
the first we have visited with wall-to-wall carpet. All cars are spic and span. “I like them
clean and ready to go,” Reports Jan.
So, how did Jan Kombs become interested in
cars? We will blame it Uncle Charles and his
body shop. Jan says he must have driven Uncle
Charles’ 1949 Cadillac 40,000 miles with no
key. Continuing to be influenced by his uncle,
Jan moved to Culver City, California for a
short time where his uncle had taken a job with
Hughes Aircraft Company. Jan’s relocation to
California was short lived, as he had to move
back to North Carolina and meet his wife-to-be,
Sonja.
Jan and Sonja met through a mutual friend. For
the first date, Jan called Sonja to see if she
wanted to go for a ride, “If it’s not raining.”
Jan did not like to get his car wet. Jan Kombs
immediately hit it off with Sonja’s parents. “He
would have driven his car in the snow, after
tasting my Mother’s biscuits.” Claims Sonja, It
is no surprise that Sonja inherited her Mother’s

culinary gifts, with Jan’s favorite dishes being macaroni and
cheese and potato salad. He wants enough to last a couple of
days,” reports Sonja.
Jan Kombs’ first car was a yellow and green 1954 Mercury Sun
Valley. By the time he and Sonja started dating in 1959, he had
traded for another Mercury, a black 1954 model…Straight drive
with overdrive. A typical date consisted of riding around “The
Circle” in Kannapolis “Until we ran out of gas.”
AACA cars currently occupying the Kombs’ garage include a
1978 Cadillac Seville (Purchased at Charlotte AutoFair), 1978
Pontiac Firebird, and the beautiful red 1967 Pontiac GTO on our
November Members’ Parade cover. The Kombs’ gold 1978 Firebird, often seen at HNR Events, once belonged to Sonja’s Brother
Dewey “Duke” Griffin. In fact, Dewey bought the car new. Sadly,
Duke Griffin is no longer with us, but his memory lives on in John
Wayne Movies and the beautiful gold Firebird.
In addition to enjoying his AACA Vehicles, Jan Kombs is a Corvette fan. He trades often, having owned 15 Corvettes to date. The
current 2012 Corvette in his garage shows only 300 miles after one
year of ownership.
Jan and Sonja Kombs are very active HNR Members, only missing
club tours and events in emergency. Additionally, they normally
sign up for all club activities during the tours. They
made the mistake of not registering to visit the Reggie
Nash Car Collection during HNR’s Spring Victory
Tour to Richmond, Virginia. “We will not make that
mistake again,” They claim.
Jan and Sonja Kombs consider Hornets Nest Region
Members to be “Like family.” They have never been
involved in a club they enjoyed more. “You cannot
find better people in this world,” According to the
couple. They consider their work at Charlotte AutoFair just another opportunity to be with friends.
Sonja Kombs plays “Ebb Tide”
for Members’ Parade
So, what will be the next addition to the Kombs garage? Forgot to ask, but I’m thinking a 1954 Mercury...yellow and green Sun Valley or maybe solid
black…either would work.

By Julie Kluttz
Above Julie and John Kluttz with their ‘29 Model A Truck
One night while we were still living at Morrow Mountain, Mom
and Dad got excited about a lot of smoke and a red sky in towards
Albemarle, which was about 5 miles away. This was before TV
breaking news and before we had a telephone. It was cold out and
way past my bedtime, but they wrapped me up in a blanket and put
me in the back seat of the A and off we went to see what was on
fire. I was scared and excited all at the same time. We got in towards town and found out that a woodworking (cabinet) shop had
burned. I don’t think we got close enough for me to see the fire
truck. We just went back home when we found out the whole town
was not burning.
Several times a week, Daddy would have to go to Albemarle for
supplies and errands. I remember going everywhere with him. I
guess that was a good way for Mom to get a little time to herself
Julie and John Kluttz during HNR’s LePetit Tour

and for Dad to have some time with me. When we moved back to
Albemarle, a year or so later, Daddy built a bar-b-cue pit behind
the new café. This made it necessary to go into the country and buy
hickory wood. I was growing and would stand up in the back between the front seats. As time went along, I grew so tall that I wore
a hole in the headlining.
Those of you who have been to Spencer Shops in Salisbury, have
seen the Streamline Trains. I had a favorite aunt and uncle who
lived in Salisbury. We often rode in the A to visit them. I would
spread out my paper dolls or my coloring book and crayons all
across the back seat and would play on the long journey (really
only about 30 miles). One night, as we were leaving Salisbury for
the trip home, Daddy stopped the A on the East Innes Street Bridge
coming out of town. We got out and he held me up to see the
Streamline train speeding down the tracks. We could see people
sitting in the club car and people eating in the dining car! A really
exciting experience! Sometimes I wonder what our children will
remember. Are there still any simple pleasures?

s you may already know, our esteemed
editor, Jerry Clemmons recently visited
the renowned Nethercutt Museum and Collection in Sylmar, California. Jerry, being an avid
photographer, took lots and lots of pictures.
Knowing Jerry, he probably took pictures of
every car on display. When he finished, he
asked the curator if he could use the pictures for
non-profit educational publication. The answer
was yes, but only if he billed the museum as
“the most beautiful museum in the world”!
According to Jerry, and from viewing the pictures, the museum is absolutely spectacular.
It’s a destination we might all want to put on
our “bucket list”.
When he returned from his trip, Jerry made a
photo CD for me. A number of the photos were
of Packards, so I selected some to share and
added a few from my personal collection. As
my last issue of “The Packard Story”, I would
like to present this pictorial Packard review.

iegfried Marcus
was in the driver's seat when the
world's first practical
motorcar made its
historic debut in
1875 on the streets
of Vienna, Austria.
Not only did he drive
the car, but he also
invented it, and built
it in his workshop at
107 Mariahilferstrasse. He called it the
Strassenwagen (road
wagon), and much to
the consternation of
the local public, he
drove it along the
streets of Vienna,
one test run covering
a distance of about 7
miles.
before he harnessed it to a vehicle. As a test bed for his engine, he
chose a simple handcart. Busy with other projects, Marcus let his
vehicle gather dust until 1875 when he used his earlier experience
to create the Strassenwagen. He redesigned his engine to create a
horizontal, single cylinder, four-cycle unit which developed a maximum three-quarters horsepower. He constructed a buggy-like body
with a solid oak frame and mounted the engine underneath the rear
seat. A belt drive transmitted power to the rear axle and a conical
clutch was located beside the flywheel. To steer the car he developed a worm and roller mechanism that pivoted the entire front
axle, rather than turning each wheel individually. The primitive
buggy brakes pressed on the iron-shod wooden rear wheels.
Siegfried Marcus
The Strassenwagen was ready for a trial run in public, but the public was not ready for the Strassenwagon. The police promptly imposed restrictions on the operation of the vehicle, and Marcus,
whether because of the poor public reception or because of his interest in other inventions, failed to push development further. Only
three Strassenwagens were built, one of which is exhibited today at
the Technisches Museum. So well was it constructed that in 1950 it
was driven triumphantly once again as crowds of onlookers
cheered. Seventy-five years after its first test drive, the ancestor of
all motor cars still performed like a champion.
Siegfried Marcus was born in Malchin, Germany on September 18,
1831. He left home as a teenager to find work. Employed by an
engineering firm, he assisted in laying the first telegraph cable between Berlin and Magdeburg. To his lifelong fascination with mechanics, he added another interest: electricity. He used his experience in both fields to create the Strassenwagen. After moving to
Vienna, Marcus opened his own small shop on the Mariahilferstrasse. In an attempt to invent the electric light he discharged an electric
spark in an atmosphere of fuel vapor. His unsuccessful experiment
ended with an explosion but it gave him the idea for an internal
combustion engine and led to the success of the Strassenwagen.
He planned to use the force of exploding fuel vapor to drive a piston and generate power. Working in secrecy for fear his invention
would be stolen, he completed his engine. He built a carburetor to
convert liquid fuel into gaseous vapor. His electric ignition system
was an outgrowth of his experience with electricity. By 1860 his
engine was workable, but it was sometime between 1863 and 1866

n 1868 Thomas Humber founded
his Humber Cycle company in
Beeston, Nottinghamshire, making
bicycles and other forms of pedal cycles. Many early British car makers
evolved out of bicycle and motorcycle companies. Humber cycles were
considered to be well-made and
proved to be quite popular. British
car historians do note that the company was under new management by
1896 when it began to make cars, and
it is known today as the first maker
of series production cars in England. Thomas Humber
