Y
ou’ll notice a photo from the Norwin Hills Car
Cruise this past Saturday, April 18th, on the cover of
this issue of The Western Round-Up. The really nice
spring days are finally upon us. Jill and I were enjoying a
walk around our neighborhood – Greensburg and Southwest Greensburg, admiring the magnolia trees and others
coming into flower. As we walked, I realized that it was
indeed a beautiful Saturday, and that indeed we did have a
gift card for Little Ceasar’s Pizza, of which there is a location near the Norwin Hills Car Show plaza. What better
reason to take in our first Norwin Hills Car Cruise of 2015
than to use up a pizza gift card and bring home dinner?
There must have been 400 cars at Norwin when we got
there. The variety of what cruises in never ceases to amaze
me. I tracked down two Studebakers. Yes, they were hot
rods, but I am always glad to see my marque represented.
We ran into WPR members Cris and Molly Detwiler and
Charlie Schifano, who were also enjoying the delightful 70
degree weather.
The Norwin Hills Car Cruise at the Norwin Hills Shopping Center along Route 30 East is one of the earliest car
shows to blossom in our area. It starts around the middle
of April and continues each and every Saturday until just
before Thanksgiving or the first snow flies. It starts around
5:00 p.m. and goes until around 9:00 p.m. depending on
the weather and daylight.
We had a nice attendance at the Western PA Region
Rev-Up Party at the J. Roy Houston Conservation Center
near Greensburg on April 11th. See the article and photos
on pages 4 and 5.
Don’t forget to sign up for the bus trips to the Mecum
Auctions in Harrisburg at the end July and the AACA Eastern Fall Meet in Hershey on October 10th. See page 7.
The WPR Directors have been working with the Eastern
Career and Technology Center in Latrobe and the Central
Westmoreland Career and Technology Center in New Stanton, and are looking forward to introducing our members
to the 2015 Western PA Region Scan Tool Scholarship
Winners at our regular Monthly Meeting on May16th. It’s
a meeting you won’t want to miss. (and there will be pizza!)

Region Revs Up
Western Style!
T
he Western PA Region AACA revved up for the
start of the 2015 cruising season in true western
style as 63 members donned blue jeans, plaid
shirts, cowboy hats, and bandanas to attend the Region’s
Rev-Up Party on Saturday, April 11th. The event was
held at the J. Roy Houston Conservation Center, home
of the Westmoreland Conservation District near Greensburg. The Center is a re-purposed 1880’s bank barn,
which was relocated from Penn Township and rebuilt as
an environmentally friendly “green building” at Donohoe
Center. The rustic interior of the barn provided the ideal
background for a “western” themed celebration.
As members entered the barn they were greeted by
Lee and Chuck Speicher at the registration table and
presented with a souvenir bandana filled with flavorful
trail mix, and a door prize ticket for a chance to win one
of three $50 Sheetz gift cards.
There was cold pop, ice tea and water in the big galvanized tub on the slate counter along-side a selection of
tasty “horse” d’oeuvres. After Bill Maurer offered grace,
a great batch of vittles was served up from Greensburg’s
Cafe Barista. Folks enjoyed chowing down on oven
roasted chicken, sweet and sassy BBQ meatballs, cheesy
hash brown potatoes, hobo beans, pasta caesar salad,
broccoli salad and rolls.
Following dinner awards were presented for the best
western duds in the following categories:
Sheriff Tom and Deputy Dodie Ulishney won custom auto-themed
bird house prizes for their their great western duds.
questions. The first was “Who Was The Driver of That
Horse?” Each table was a team and was presented with
a list of famous horses from old-time western movies
and television shows. They then had to come up with
the names of the western heros who rode those horses
– example “Silver” was ridden by the Lone Ranger,
“Trigger” by Roy Rogers and “Buttermilk” by Dale Evans.
The winning team getting the most horse “drivers” correct was Sheriff Tom and Deputy Dodie Ulishney, Dave
and Debbie Sheetz, Carol Calabrace and Barbara Erny.
The second trivia game had a musical theme - “Who
Was That Singing Cowboy?” Each table team had to
review a list of western songs and name the western
singer(s) who made that song famous – example “The
Gambler” sung by Kenny Rogers. Lo and behold, we
all experienced a bit of western deja vu as the same team
who won the first contest won the second by getting
the most songs and singers correct. According to Tom
Ulishney and Dave Sheetz, Tom remembered the cowboys
and horses from television and Dave’s memory “just
clicked in” on the western songs. Each member at the
winning table was presented with a 2015 Chance Car
ticket prize for each contest.
When it came time for “happy trails”, folks at each
table played pass the can of baked beans in conjunction
with a western “left-right” story read by Molly Detwiler.
Whoever ended up holding the beans won the table
centerpiece – a western candle lantern.
Rev Up Party Chair Jill Jackson then thanked her committee for their creativity and hard work - Molly and Cris
Detwiler, Lee and Chuck Speicher, CJ and Bill Maurer,
Trudy Jackson and Mark Jackson.
Let’s rev-up and roll. Have a great 2015 season!
Most Western - Sheriff Tom Ulishney
Most Colorful - Deputy Dodie Ulishney
Most Creative -Native American Princess Ashley Kuhns
Funniest - Cowgirl Vickie Kuhns
Toughest - Bob Inhoff
With senses sharpened after a great meal, folks got a
chance to test their western trivia know-how with Molly
Detwiler. There were two rounds of western-themed

If that horse was named Tony it had to be Tom Mix!

Western PA
Region Bus Trips
Overnight Trip to the Harrisburg
Mecum Auction and More...
I
believe that I had the wrong year in the last article as
1968. It should have been 1967. I drove the 1939
Ford to a show at Weinels Crossroads held by the
Kiski Valley Region. Paul Bell came with an all original
Ford “A” huckster wagon. When I got home I knew that
my car needed a motor overhaul. Ms. Wilson called me
shortly after I bought the ‘39 Ford and asked me to stop
at her home. So I made the stop, and she was anxious
to show me her new car. In the garage covered up, sat
a new 1967 VW, black with a red interior. She said it
had a heater. Through the years, she would call me
and ask me to stop. I never mentioned the VW when I
was there, because she usually wanted me to fix a light
or something else. She called me in April 1991 and
asked me to stop by. I knew that her health was on the
decline. She asked me if I wanted the VW. Of course
I did, and we agreed on a price. She told me I could
even let it in her garage. She signed the title, and with
her deposit slip, put it in her bank. Our secretary was
a Notary Public and took care of the title. (Things were
not as complicated as they are today.) Shortly after
that, Ms. Wilson was put in a rest home. I moved the
car to a friend’s garage. The VW had only 5,989 miles
on the odometer. I drove it very little. One day I parked
it in Indiana and when I came out to get in a man was
waiting by the car. He told me that he had owned the
VW garage in Indiana, and that he still had a license
plate frame. He asked if I wanted it. A few days later he
left it at my house. In 1993 I advertised the VW in the
December edition of Hemmings Motor News. I sold the
car to a man from Atlanta, Georgia. It was picked up
by Passport Transport. Later in a magazine I purchased
there was an article on a car show in Atlanta, which
included some photos of Ms Wilson’s black VW. The
article credited the car as the most original VW on the
East Coast. The story of its purchase will be in another
article.

Bob Inhoff was the first to contact me correctly
identifying March’s car as a 1950 Plymouth. Bob even remembered how the speedometer of these cars would change
color as the speed increased. Suzanne Heatherington and
Fred Nicholls also checked in and correctly identified this
old workhorse. Fred actually owned one and used it as a
“beater” in the early 60’s.
