Hi members.
It has been a busy month with

was started or an older restoration that needed
refurbishing. Nothing was around. But, after a few
years of searching, Hot Rod magazine featured a
story on an American classic car buff who had restored a 1952 Chevy two-door hardtop; had won
numerous show„n‟shine trophies with it, then on a
whim, cut the roof off and created a trophy-winning
roadster.
It certainly could be done for a lot fewer dollars
than it would cost to buy or restore a convertible.

Empty nesters; mortgage paid

retirement in a few years.
And me with this crazy dream in
the back of my head-- this nostalgia; this need to fulfill an unrequited love that had haunted me
for almost 50 years . . . In 1957,
in a used car lot when I was just
starting out as a mild-mannered,
lowly-paid weekly newspaper
reporter in my hometown . . . It
was the most beautiful little car
I‟d ever seen. A five-year-old Chevrolet convertible. They wanted
$700 for that tan-colored gem
and soon it was gone off the lot.
Fast forward 40 years when I began
an interest in classic cars and thought
it would be a great retirement years‟

horrified that, like some of
her friends‟ retired husbands, I‟d be underfoot in
the house telling her how
to do such chores as vacuuming in a much more
efficient, manly way).
I gleaned hot rod magazines and classic car
sales quarterlies from the
U.S. and Canada. Sure,
fully restored „52 rag tops
could be bought for
US$30,000 or so, but that
wasn‟t really what I wanted.
My search was for one that
Starting with the basics, a Mustang ll front end clip was built

And - by golly! - I‟d just seen a „52 Chevy hardtop on
the Little Lot west of Edmonton on the Parkland
Highway. I‟d pop in there and check it out.
Young Jeff Danyluk greeted me as I looked over the
hardtop. I explained my project idea and my futile
attempt finding a 1952 Chevrolet convertible that I
could work with.
“Well,” said Jeff, “we don‟t have a Chevy, but we do
have a „52 Pontiac convertible here.”
“Where?!” I scoffed in stunned disbelief.
“In that shed in the back lot,” assured Jeff.
Sure enough, there it was covered in dust, basic

Pontiac Race News
Race News June 2011
Mother Nature was not a race fan for local
racers in June, with both the Summit Pro-Am
Series and the Mopar Nitro Jam Nationals all
effected by rain delays and cancelations and
with 3 Bracket Drag Races races cancelled
because of weather, June was a poor month
for local Pontiac Racers on running their cars
at Castrol Park.
The Mopar Nitro Jam Nationals produced a
second Iron Man for Local Racer Tim Boychuck in his 1977 Trans Am in the Pro Nostalgia Nitro Funny Car title at the Rocky Mountain Nitro Jam Nationals on Sunday at Castrol
Raceway. Boychuck was runner up last week
in Salt Lake City and came home with prize
money and another Iron Trophy for his collection.
I caught up with Red Deer Racing Dean
Watt this past weekend at the Nitro Jam
Nationals, Dean runs a beautiful 1968
Mayfair Maize Pontiac Firebird, originally a 350 4 speed car it‟s now powered with a 455 engine built by Davenport Motor Sports of Calgary. Dean
launches the bird hard at 5 k and had
the car into the low 11s here at Castrol Raceway but safety rule require
him to put in a roll bar if he goes faster
than 11.49, Dean decided rather than
cutting up the car he has slightly detuned it to run 11.5.
A front View of Dean Watt‟s 1968 Firebird
On the local scene not many Pontiac powered
vehicles have been out a Castrol Raceway
this year. John Dampf is in the top 30 in
points but with races canceled and rain outs
and mechanical gremlins a top 10 finish may
be hard pressed for the Alberta Iron Indians
Member. Although his car ran well this weekend with low 10 second passes at over a 130
mph the 9 second club may be just around
the corner at Woodburn Race way in Portland
on July 5th.

Letters to Editor
Dear Editor
Dear CCW:
Standing in line, with my husband waiting for our usual
Saturday night two-for-one
hamburgers and I noticed
how nicely dressed the ladies
and gentlemen were that
were walking into the steak
house next door. In my usual
car clothes, last year's show
and shine tee shirt (one size
fits all), blue jeans and runners, I felt a little uncomfortable. My husband was
dressed in his favorite AIIPAC
shirt he wears every Saturday
night, which already had a
coffee stain on it and his
jeans had grease on them
from helping a buddy with his
car. Do you feel that in the
future car clothes will become
a bit more fancier, especially
for the ladies?
Had to consult Mrs. Editor on
this one, me being of that
distinctive coffee-stained AIIPAC tee-shirted gender. We
both agree, CCW has an excellent point. Mrs. Editor thinks
this merits serious consideration. At the risk of being considered Politically in-Correct, I
remember way back in my day
(the Stone Age) when specialty service clubs almost
always had a Ladies' Auxiliary
which addressed issues as
seen through the
eyes of a woman. I
wouldn't dare call
for the formation of
an AIIPAC Ladies' Auxiliary,
but perhaps CCW could
gather together a committee
of Classic Car Wives to explore a new fashion clothing
line bearing the Pontiac logo.
Heck, I've always thought the
fashions of the '50s were the
best ever. Remember those
sexy sweater sets the gals
wore? The skirts? The
scarves? Okay, maybe saddle shoes would be going too
far, but . . . . Whaddayasay,
CCW?

Unit and Dennis Chance, Volunteer.
Picture Thanks To: Melissa, The Coordinator,
Public Programs, Reynolds-Alberta Museum.
The cruise from Leduc along the old Highway 2A on a
beautiful, sunny morning was awesome enough for we Alberta Iron Indians Pontiac Car Club guys and gals. And it began an equally awesome Sunday show'n'shine at Wetaskiwin's world-class Reynolds Alberta Museum 13th annual
History Road auto show.
Nearly 350 classic cars were registered (a record) and
some 2,000 car buff visitations (same as a year ago) enjoyed
the day. Museum acting director Jim Takenaka and Gord
Saturmo performed magnificently as the Decades Parade
announcer. Jim certainly recognized the raucous, cheering
presence of the Edmonton Chapter AIIPCC gathered in one
happy group.
It was great promotion for our club, resulting in a few new
memberships added to our roster.
The Museum paraded 40 of its own collection, including a
1908 Rambler and the new star at the Wetaskiwin museum,
a 1918 Winton, driven by museum machinist Wayne Schultz
in the big high society touring car‟s public debut.
Our club's first entrant in the Decades Parade was Fort
Saskatchewan's Clem Lamoureux - not with his 1950 businessman's coupe (featured in June's inaugural Pancho Paper) - but with his 1929 Graham Paige sedan. What a beautiful restoration job Clem has done on this rare old classic,
complete with small flower vases inside and a black leather
studded bustle trunk on the back.
Among our club's late model Pontiacs on parade was Terry
Beuerlein's 30th Anniversary Trans Am, with its back seat full
of Terrys grand kids. Our AIIPCC was well represented in
what ought to be a must-attend show'n'shine on the annual
show calendar, the Reynolds Alberta Museum History Road
at Wetaskiwin.

Getting Our Kicks On Route 66
COOL CRUISIN'
Imagine our surprise when,
from out of the blue, we realized we were
on the historic and storied Route 66.
For a classic car collector and a
"Back in the Fifties" type of retroman, it
was like "Goin' to Disneyland."
Donna and I were only a few
years into full-pension retirement when we
decided to do the "Snowbird" winter migration to the American desert. It was well into
January when we loaded up the ol' (2000)
Dodge Ram 3/4-ton diesel truck and fled
the Alberta 30-below-and-blowin' weather.
Didn't find much relief until we were deep
into Montana and beyond Salt Lake City.
Managed to skirt busy Las Vegas without
blundering our way onto The Strip. We've
done many fly-in trips to the bright lights of
Vegas, but this time we were seeking out
new Old West desert country to which the
Canadian Snowbirds flock each winter.
What was happening in Vegas could darn
well stay in Vegas as far as we were concerned.
Soon after passing through the
careful security checks at Boulder Dam, we
entered Arizona, first big town being Kingman. And - lo and behold - there were signs
all over the place . . . ROUTE 66.
There was a Route 66 Museum
that we had to see. And lots of rock'n roll
jukebox cafes, each with artifacts from the
Route 66 era. Of course I bought a cassette of '50s songs that featured the theme
from the Route 66 TV series, which dominated the tube ratings 40 or 50 years ago.
We then drove eastward from
Kingman along the original Route 66
highway, which was also known as The
Mother Road, Will Rogers Highway or The
Main Street of America. Our tour ended
at picturesque Williams, Az, near the
magnificent Grand Canyon. The Route
goes on, of course, through Flagstaff, Az,
Santa Fe, NM, Amarilla, Tx, Tulsa, Ok, St.
Louis, Mo, and to its Mid-West source,
Chicago, Il.
One of the first must-stops out
of Kingman is a tiny remote roadside
gasoline station with a pair of Texaco
pumps out front. Parked right alongside
the pumps is an early '60's Corvette
much like the cars in the series - except
on TV, it was a Horizon Blue 'vet, not a
red-and-white. It was a 1961 Fawn Beige
the next season, and brown-and-white
through the show's cancellation in 1964.
The characters drifting along Route 66 in
their inherited ride, finding adventures
and causes to fight for, were actors Martin Milner, as Tod Stiles, and George
Maharis as Buz Murdock. Remember?
The little station (no gasoline is
available for sale) is called Hackberry
General Store at Hackberry, Az. And
that's all there is to Hackberry. There's a
'50's replica soda fountain set up with a
museum-like collection of Elvis Prestley,
Marilyn Monroe et al. The general store,
of course, is all gift shop nostalgia stuff. I
bought a Hackberry General Store T-shirt
with the Route 66 highway sign logo.
If anyone from these parts
has ever thought about cruising Route
66, simply Google car shows at Kingman, Seligman or Williams. There's a
Seligman to Kingman Fun Run in late
April each year, for instance. Hauling
down for such an event sounds like it
would be a trip to remember.
For me, a quite remote, now,
"bucket list" idea would be ( if I were a
much richer and younger fella) to haul
down to the home of the now deceased
Pontiac brand and where there was
until recently, an annual all-Pontiac car
show, at Pontiac, Mi. However, I haven't
Googled anything on a show since
Pontiac was punted from GM. Then, I'd
haul on over to the Chicago area, to the
beginning of the old Route 66, unload
my '52 Pontiac Chieftian convertible,
SH BOOM, and tour all the way to Kingman, Az.
I don't recommend the Route
66 west from Kingman to Oatman, Az,
however. Donna and I took it with the
Dodge Ram, and Donna was scared on
the narrow serpentine road. She doesn't scare easily, but looking down from
the passenger's seat as the shoulderless road plunged downward was unnerving. Oatman was sort of a disappointment as well. It was more of an old
prospectors' town than a classic car
buff's attraction. There were saloons on
the streets on which donkeys wandered, bumming food handouts and
behind-the-ears scratches from tourists.
The Route 66 from Oatman to
Redondo Beach, Ca., hadn't been restored out of Oatman when we were
there. I doubt it ever will be. Nonetheless, Donna and I will long remember
getting our Kicks on Route 66.

Our Fellow Member, Shawn Genge Is Organizing This Show !!
Continued From Page 2.
Bigger and Better! That's the goal for next year's Ron Hodgson's
Pacemaker Motorsports Classic and Performance Auto Show. The promise was made following the June 26th All-GM-Only show and shine by
the St. Albert dealership head honcho, Jeff Hodgson, and his sales management staff.
They all liked our inaugural show, and so did we -- thanks in particular
to the hard and dedicated work put into it by AIIPC Edmonton chapter
president Dave Scragg and our show co-ordinator Terry Beurelein. And
the wives who operated the registration booth -- Susan Scragg, Donna
Cooper, Bev Rosentreter, Sybil Roche and Norma Sanchez -- were icing
on the cake. In commending all club members "for the way in which we
presented our cars and ourselves," Terry said the show started out "as a
hare-brained idea that I had, but it turned out very positive. We have
earned ourselves a long-term sponsorship."
President Dave, who worked so tirelessly in making it a success, now
thinks all that worrying he did was so worthwhile. "It was awesome,"
sighed the Chief in relief after it was all over. "I'm ecstatic."
Sixty-four show cars were registered. The only disappointment was
that a dismal amount of money was raised for our charity fund, STARS
Air Rescue Ambulance Service. Perhaps club members were not fully
aware that the votes bought for the Peoples' Choice trophy went directly
to STARS. However, notes Dave, the Ron Hodgson dealership intends to
keep Stars on as our charity, and they will kick in generously to the fund
from next year's expanded show budget.
Trophy winners from the Pacemaker Motorsports Classic And Performance Auto Show were as follows:
1959 & Prior— First 1952 Pontiac Convertible Garry Cooper.
Second 1957 Chev Belair Sid Rowland.
1960—1969— First 1967 Chevelle SS Dan Julio.
Second 1965 Chev Pickup Alvin Mc Colman.

Calgary AIIPC All Pontiac
Show & Shine June 19, 2011
Cliff , a great guy, having fun.
Doreen and I attended the Alberta
Iron Indians All Pontiac Show held
on June 19, 2011 in Calgary, along
with Dave and Susan Scragg, and
Jerry Stanic. The sun finally came
out and no heavy rain for the entire
show. Many great door prizes were
given to some lucky members. As I
say this, I wonder if it is a club rule
that the oldest member of both
clubs be the ones who win the
largest and heaviest door
prize. Thanks to Warren
Rogulski for trying to help but
he was very quick to pass it
on to a younger and stronger
person. This kind gentlemen
asked where he could deliver
it to and I said 7000 Parkview
Close (that is where our son
lives and we were to spend
Bob‟s Show Winner, a beautiful Beaumont.
another night there).
Calgary Club put on a “Great Show”. We were
very pleased to have taken part in this along
with some other 60 plus Pontiacs and owners.
