Orphan Homecoming
Story and photo by Patrick Foster
T
his June, owners of orphan- and
independent-brand cars will flock,
as they have for more than a decade, to Ypsilanti, Mich., for the big annual Orphan Car Show.
This year marks the 13th annual Ypsilanti event. It will be held Sunday, June
7, in the city’s beautiful Riverside Park.
Sponsored by the Walter P. Chrysler Museum, the show runs 9 a.m.-4:00 p.m. As
before, the show is open to stock, nonmodified cars, trucks and motorcycles
that have been out of production for at
least seven years.
Conceived in 1996 as a public educational program of the Ypsilanti Automotive Heritage Museum, the Orphan Car
May 21, 2009 ©
Show is dedicated to educating the public about an often overlooked aspect of
America’s automotive heritage: the cars
produced by the independent, “non-Big
Three” auto companies.
Each year, the show highlights a particular brand and this year, the show will
honor Hudson’s 100th anniversary by
making it this year’s feature make. A large
turnout of Hudsons is expected, along with
Studebakers, Nashes, Packards, Avantis,
Ramblers and many other makes. There
will also be a number of defunct foreign
car models making appearances.
Ypsilanti has a unique automotive history for a city its size. Apex Motors produced the ACE car there from 1920-’22.
Ypsilanti is also where Preston Tucker,

Although the Orphan Car Show features all
independent and orphan cars that have been
out of production for at least seven years,
Hudson will be this year’s featured marque in
honor of the company’s 100th anniversary.

chine and Tool Co., developed and built
the prototype for the Tucker Torpedo automobile.
The area abounds with automotive
history. Kaiser-Frazer produced cars in
nearby Willow Run from 1946 to 1953
in a giant plant that GM later purchased
for production of Hydra-Matic transmissions. From 1959 to 1969, GM also manufactured the Corvair nearby.
One of the most popular highlights of
the Ypsilanti Orphan Car Show is when
the various old cars pass in review. This
feature parade includes expert running
commentary by automotive historians
Jeff Godshall, Bill Tilden, Jim Wagner
and others explaining each vehicle’s history and special features as it drives past
the reviewing stand.
Admission to the show is $5 for adults,
while children 12 and under are free. All
proceeds from the show benefit the Ypsilanti Automotive Heritage Museum,
which features many restored KaiserFrazer and Hudson cars. The museum is
also home to Miller Motors, the World’s
Last Hudson Dealer. With records dating
to 1927, Miller Motors Hudson represents
a priceless part of Hudson and Ypsilanti
automotive history that’s now being preserved.

Show, go to the museum’s Web site at

FROM THE EDITOR
By Angelo Van Bogart
Today’s hauler is tomorrow’s collectible
Ever notice how many vehicle enthusiasts own modern trucks? It’s a lot, and maybe not for the most obvious utilitarian reason. Sure, owning a truck makes it easy
to drag around a project car and collect parts for it, but
trucks are also the closest way a collector-vehicle hobbyist can get to buying and enjoying a vehicle in the same
manner as they did before the 1990s. For that reason, I
expect today’s trucks will appear at shows with the same
frequency of 2010 Camaros and Challengers and Mustangs at car shows 20 or 30 years from now.
Don’t believe me? Consider this: The engine and engine compartment space of trucks is the closest one can
come today with an engine compartment of 20 years ago
(or longer), making it possible to complete some work for
the do-it-yourselfer.
In the 1960s and earlier, many car enthusiasts ordered
fender skirts, windshield visors, continental kits and other
»
readily available accessoriesfor their new and late-model
cars. Not so for today’s Taurus, Camry and Accord owners
who have to search hard for such accessories, if they have
an interest in installing them at all. However, aftermarket
companies have run to the service of truck owners, making catalogs full of accessories available to truck owners
who can make their ride unique. Truck owners respond by
buying them and installing them in earnest.
Ordering a truck is also a lot like buying a car in the
1950s or earlier. Remember when car companies offered
one style in many configurations? Aside from trim, all
1952 Chevrolets were identical from the cowl forward.
However, a buyer could select that look as a station wagon,
sedan, coupe, hardtop or convertible. Today’s truck buyer can get an F-150 as a regular cab, extended cab with
a short box or a long box as a two-wheel-drive or fourwheel-drive model. Not so with many of today’s sedans.
Many people with an appreciation for machinery have taken
to trucks in the past two decades,
especially young people, for the
very reasons mentioned here. People also collect what
they fondly remember from their childhood, and trucks
are helping form good memories for many young people as you read this. In a few decades, those people will
gather to show off their workmanship on the vehicles they
care about most from their past — trucks.
For those who are ahead of the curve and already enjoy old trucks, we’ve assembled stories on trucks that are
already collectible in this issue. After you read about the
Fargo Sweptside, International and Hudson trucks in this
week’s issue, consider that new truck in your driveway. It
might just be tomorrow’s collector vehicle.

A brush with an R-Code Fairlane
Indy memories
Demise of a Dauphine
Geoff Stunkard’s article in the May 7
issue about the R-Code Fairlane brought
back memories. In late 1966, I read a
magazine article about this new option.
My father had a 1966 Fairlane GTA with the 390 four-barrel and it was a
strong-running car. I went to Shulte Ford
in Glen Burnie, Md., and inquired about
ordering a ’67 Fairlane with the R-Code
engine. After being told on several occasions that this option was not available
to the public, I finally found a salesman
named Mike Fiore who looked further
into the option list and found I could place
the order. I had to put a down payment of
$500 to order the $3,600 car. The only
option, besides the paint scheme, was an
AM radio.
The car was a two-door sedan with a
bench seat, four-speed transmission and
two-tone paint (green on the bottom and
a white top). It seemed to take forever
to arrive. In the meantime, I fell in love
with a burgundy K-Code Mustang coupe.
I purchased the Mustang, and when the
Fairlane finally came in, I did not take delivery.
I don’t know who eventually took possession of the Fairlane, but I am sure it
was one great ride. Every time I see a reference to these cars, I think what might
have been. I never lost my appetite for
Mustangs and currently own a ’66 KCode GT fastback, a ’99 convertible and
an ’05 GT convertible.
I just read Richard Holmlund’s article
about his trip to Indy in Old Cars Weekly’s
April 30 issue and wanted to share a few
experiences I had.
My first experience was in 1969, when
my mom and dad took me on a charter bus
to see the time trials. I live in a small town
on the Ohio-Indiana border, so it is only
a 2-1/2-hour drive. I especially remember
the pace car that year — a 1969 Camaro. I
was more excited about that than the race!
The big excitement that day was when
Mario Andretti broke the 170-mph mark.
I remember the entire place screaming. He
went on to win the Indy 500 that year.
I also got Mel Kenyon’s autograph. I
was only 10 years old at the time and remember staring at his hand. My dad said
he had been involved in an accident and his
hand was badly burned. He had it formed
to fit the steering wheel.
I also went to the time trials a year later, when the 4-4-2 was pace car. That year
proved uneventful, because it rained.
But in 1978, a friend asked me to go to
the Indy 500 race with him. How could I
turn him down? He had just purchased a
new 1978 ’Vette and the reason he wanted
to go was because the ’Vette was also the
pace car that year. I agree with what Holmlund said in his article: I had more fun
driving to the race and witnessing the activities at the track than watching the race
itself. I don’t even remember who won. I
just enjoyed riding in a new Corvette!
Unfortunately, that was the last time I
was at a 500 race in Indy. Maybe I’ll get
there again soon.
I would like to respond to the very enjoyable article “French Flop” by Patrick
Foster that appeared in the April 16 issue
of Old Cars Weekly.
“Arrow shirts, Arrow shirts, Arrow
shirts” — that was the strange sound the
windshield wiper motors made on my parents’ “Campbell’s Cream of Tomato Soup”
red 1958 Renault Dauphine. The wipers
were only one of its quirky and dangerous
characteristics.
It was a small four-door meant to compete with the Volkswagen Beetle, and like
the Beetle, it had rear-wheel drive. While
having engine weight at the rear of such
a car can be helpful in snow, it makes for
very tricky handling. On one especially
windy day, I drove it across the Throgs
Neck bridge, and with the assistance
of gusty side winds, covered at least as
much distance laterally as I did forward.
On another occasion, on a twisty road in
Westchester County, I practically saw the
rear end of the car pass me in the front. So
much for sporty driving in a Dauphine.
On a trip to Europe, my father bought
one of them, drove it around and then
shipped it back home for my mother to
drive. She had learned to drive at age 45
with mixed results. Outside anything located in a kitchen, her relationship with
anything mechanical was tenuous, at best.
One reason he bought it was because it
had a Ferlec electrically operated transmission, which eliminated the clutch pedal. In
order to change gears, you simply put your
hand on the floor-mounted gear-shift lever,
which then actuated the clutch. While this
simplified the shifting process, the clutch
Kenneth Kelm, via e-mail
Dave Zehringer, via e-mail
6 MAY 21, 2009
would disengage anytime you rested your
hand on the lever, causing the engine to
rev wildly until you removed your hand.
A friend left his hand on the lever too long
while making a broken U-turn and backed
into a rock, denting the bumper.
The Dauphine, like most small European cars, had a tiny engine, especially by
U.S. standards. It had a blazing 32 hp, resulting in a 0-60-mph time of about seven
eons. Try getting on the Grand Central
Parkway during rush hour with that.
My mother drove it around our Jamaica
Estates, Queens, neighborhood without incident, and it was usually mine to use when
home from Bard College. Then, one day in
January 1958, I was on my way to Ozone
Park to see my girlfriend when I was Tboned at an intersection. A tow truck took
the car to a local shop as I waited for my
father to come. When the owner saw my
father pull in with a gold-and-white 1958
Chrysler Imperial, he immediately jacked
up the price for the tow.
In a few weeks, my father picked up a
leftover Satin Gray 1957 Plymouth Savoy
from his friend who was a Dodge-Plymouth dealer. While this car was ostensibly
to be used by me to get back and forth
from college, it was always spoken of as
my mother’s car. As the car was big and
lacked power steering, I don’t remember
her ever sitting in it, much less piloting it
to the nearest Grand Union supermarket.
The famous Ferlec electronic clutch on
the Dauphine was only one of several badly handicapped, semi-automatic transmission-equipped cars my father purchased.
But that’s another story, isn’t it?

Saving
‘Old Ugly’
Reluctant restorer gives old friend’s
ugly truck-ling a lovely new lease on life
The author had a daunting challenge when he agreed
to take ownership of his friend’s quirky 1966 International pickup and try to give it a second life. The
restoration had its share of obstacles, but the end
result was plenty gratifying for both the truck’s first
and second owners.
By Merlin Lamb
n 2005, my good friend Glen went into the hospital
with a serious heart condition. I don’t think Glen expected to ever come home again, because his wife
called me and said he wanted me to have his truck. He
knew I would restore it to factory condition.
The old truck was a peach-colored 1966 International
half-ton that Glen purchased new. It was a real oddball,
because it had a strange step-side bed without any steps,
and an even stranger four-cylinder engine that, for all the
world, appears to be half of a V-8. I’m told it is, in fact,
half of International’s 304-cid V-8. Meanwhile, the transmission is a Borg-Warner T-13 — a three-speed on the
floor — and the rear end is a Dana 44 limited-slip with
4:09 gears.
I knew of the old truck for many years because I had
helped Glen keep it tuned and running. I knew it was a
clean and solid International, and I had always told Glen
that if he ever decided to sell it, to give me the first option.
Well, here came the option.
Sadly, the old truck had sat for years — at least 10 or
more. In fact, I don’t believe the truck had been run since
Glen and I had both retired several years ago. I knew Glen
had received offers to sell his truck, but he passed them
up, telling me that all the buyers wanted to street rod it,
something he couldn’t tolerate being done to his baby. So,
I drove to Santa Rosa, Calif., some 40 miles away, to see
the truck again. What I beheld was not very inspiring.
The International was in pretty bad shape, having sat outside uncovered. Rust was prevalent everywhere, and all
four tires were flat. The cowl was rusted clear through
into the interior and water had accumulated through the
cowl vent, which had apparently plugged and prevented
moisture from draining. The bottom of the bed was seriously rusted, as were the tops of the rear fenders and the
bed rails. But, it was straight and otherwise solid and it
I
would run. The odometer read 77,240 miles.
At that point, I could see a lot of dollars going into
restoration costs. Seriously, I didn’t believe that I wanted
the truck anymore. It was close to being too far gone,
but Glen was a good friend, and if he wanted me to have
his baby rather than sell it to someone else, well, I just
couldn’t turn him down.
I called a tow truck and spent my first $200 on a tow
to Cloverdale, where I live. My wife came outside our
home as we were pushing the truck into the carport and
all I heard was, “That’s one ugly truck.” I had to agree.
And from that point on, any reference to the truck was
prefaced by “Old Ugly.” The name stuck.
I spent more than a year on this project, enlisting the
aid of friends and relatives. Rust was a major issue. Twice,
I was on the verge of giving up, but my brother, Tom, convinced me to hang in there.
The rust inside the cowl was probably our biggest
problem. The cowl was triple-walled, preventing us from
patching metal in some areas. We removed what we could,
treated the rest to prevent rust from further spreading, then
glassed over the cowl vent. Rain could not be allowed to
enter, as we were unable to locate the drains for the cowl.
We purchased a sand blaster for removal of surface rust,
and as restorers know, sand blasting has its drawbacks.
Foremost, sand is really tough to get rid of, and comes out
of every crack and crevice when you’re painting. It nearly
drove us to distraction, as it did the painter.
International was very fond of spot-welding everything, even horizontal surfaces that are open to rain and
contaminants. Many of these welds had come loose and
had to be re-welded. I was told by a local International
dealer that it was his belief that, during the 1960s, Nissan
had built the bodies for these trucks. I didn’t doubt him,
because the construction of this truck is the strangest I
have ever seen.
We filled in all the pits where rust was removed by the
sand blaster and fixed the minor dings. Before the work
was completed on the body, the truck had been taken
apart down to the bare cab.
Old Ugly was painted part by part by a local body shop,
then color-sanded and buffed by me and my brother, then
reassembled. I located an International part supplier in
Texas that had all of the rubber and window channeling.
I located door and window handles in Nebraska. The old
rims were too rusted inside to save, so we had to install
aftermarket wheels — another modification, but a reversible one, of course. Vent window rubber was never found,
despite a month-long search, nor could we find rubber for
the gas tank filler neck. A local upholsterer completed the
interior. Carpet replaced the original rubber mat.
Once Old Ugly was finished, we drove it to Santa Rosa.
Glen, you see, did come home, having survived his heart
surgery. I wanted him to see his old truck again, and to
ask him if his survival meant that I had to give him the
truck back. Of course, I knew it was mine to keep. He was
delighted with the results and took several photos during
that trip in February 2006. Then he drove his baby again,
smiling from ear to ear. It was truly gratifying.
We love Old Ugly, which, like the fairy tale, has become somewhat of a swan. We drive it almost daily, even
though it rides hard, steers worse, is a little slow and
doesn’t like it much over 55 mph. However, it turns a lot
of heads and gets lots of “thumbs-up,” especially from
women. (I think they like the soft peach color.) We especially enjoy lifting the hood when inquiring minds ask
what’s under the bonnet for their “What the heck?” comments.
Old Ugly now gets a prominent spot in our garage,
protected from the elements alongside our 1941 Packard
and 1956 Chevrolet pickup.
I’m happy to have saved another “orphaned” vehicle.

VINTAGE AD OF THE WEEK
CLUB CLIPS
Clipped by Gerald Perschbacher
The Car of the Dome’s arrival
I
t was more than a pretty
face, and it was more than
a modified two-door sedan.
In the Aug. 29, 1931, issue of
Automobile Topics, Chevrolet advertised its new sedan
delivery, a unique vehicle that
shared the stunning looks and
economic six-cylinder engine
of the “bow tie” passenger
car line. However, in the deep
Depression year, Chevrolet focused on the savings offered by
its new vehicles in the moneyconscious environment, rather
than its styling.
“Hardly a day goes by
without some new and famous
name being added to the long
list of Chevrolet fleet owners,”
said the ad. “Largely responsible for these sales is Chevrolet’s outstanding economy. For
it is a matter of record among
many Chevrolet fleet operators that the
Chevrolet Six costs less to run than
any other motor vehicle.”
Though the ad illustrates a sedan
delivery used by Anheuser-Busch during the period in which the company
sold yeast and grain instead of beer,
a testimonial from an unnamed “big
industrial organization” was included
in the ad. In it, the organization noted
the savings afforded by the six-cylinder
Chevrolet.
“In our experience with ninety-one
The Car of the Dome was a fancy
1933 Packard made for display at the
1933 World’s Fair. It has made a splash
in publicity ever since. If you’ve attended major vintage car meets, you may
have seen the car in all its well-styled
glory. It’s very sleek for a sedan!
There’s more to the story, as relayed
by Hexagon News, Packards International Midwest Region, 365 St. Leger
Ave., Akron, OH 44305 (Bob Zimmerman, editor). The story is based on a
firsthand report printed in the April 30,
1934, edition of Packard Inner Circle,
the factory-issued newsletter for dealers.
B.D. Eastling, one of Packard’s advertising managers, conveyed the information from the Philadelphia area. “We
conducted a Packard Traveling salon
at several of our largest dealer points,”
he said. “It called for considerable
showmanship and a certain amount of
ballyhoo.”
The salon was centered around the
Car of the Dome. “The fact that the
Dome car was snowbound and lost in
freight the first two days increased our
opportunity for publicity by keeping the
population ‘posted’ on its arrival.”
There was plenty to see in the
meantime, since the Packard outlet had
arranged for magnificent one-of-a-kind
paintings to be displayed. These had
been commissioned for ads which the
company ran nationwide. There was
Chevrolet cars, we find that the total
mileage was 1,854,202 miles and that
the average cost per mile was $.04.
The results are quite pleasing to us,
in view of the fact that it proves that
the six-cylinder car has been run more
economically than the four-cylinder
car.”
Certainly, Chevrolet was more
than a pretty face that could win over
hearts, as well as wallets, as it was
“the great American value.” — Angelo
Van Bogart

It was told as a Boston Globe story. It
was a sad day indeed when an 89-yearold man in Massachusetts went to his
garage alone to start his 1929 Buick.
When he tried to fire up the car, there
was an explosion — and the engine
compartment “fired-up” in flames! He
managed to escape, but the fire spread
rapidly, taking other cars with it — including a 1915 Dodge touring and a
first-generation Ford Mustang.
So reports Bob Palmer in The
Gearbox Chatter, Rosebud-Badour-Jacobs, editor, 2570 Shadlow TR, Ada,
MI 49301-9315 (HCCA Grand Rapids
Region).
As Palmer notes, “Always be cautious.” Have an ample fire extinguisher
(with proper rating) on hand. Once
flames lick an engine and catch hold
of an oily surface, no telling what may
result. Equally important, have someone
stand by, just in case.

Museum
gets an ‘A’
After 80 years, the
oldest original-owner
car known goes
to a new home
Francis “Frank” Hartmaier, who
died earlier this year, owned this
1929 Model A for 80 of his 97 years.
By Bill Rothermel

I
t seems that most fishing stories are about the one that
got away. Suffice it to say, the same holds true for car
collectors. How many times have you heard someone
say, “I should have kept that one,” or “Gee, I wished I
never got rid of that car?” The late Frank Hartmaier never
had any such regrets, as he kept his 1929 Ford Model A,
a car he purchased new, for nearly 80 years. On May 2,
the landmark car was given to the Antique Automobile
Club of America Museum in Hershey, Pa., by Hartmaier’s
family.
At the age of 17, Francis “Frank” Hartmaier asked his
mother if he could join a local flying club and take flying
lessons. His mother promptly denied his request, fearful that he was too young and could get hurt. Not unlike
today’s teenagers, his wishes promptly turned to a “set of
wheels.” He then asked if he would be allowed to purchase
a new Ford with the money he had saved while working
at a local auto parts plant. With his mother’s blessing, the
Limerick Township, Montgomery County, Pa., teen took
the trolley into nearby Pottstown and ordered a new Ford
Model A roadster from the William Young Agency on
West High Street. Hartmaier checked off two options on
the order blank: a spare tire and a rumble seat for a total
price of $560. Putting down $305 of his savings, Hartmaier financed the remaining balance of $255, and on
May 16, 1929, he took delivery of Serial No. A1533466,
a Rose Beige and Seal Brown roadster exactly as he had
ordered.
Not long after taking delivery of the car, the young
Hartmaier was laid off from his job, thanks to the worsening economic depression. Undeterred, he landed a job delivering a local newspaper, the Pottstown Mercury, from
Monday to Saturday, in a route that covered 109 miles each
day. On Sundays, he delivered the Philadelphia Record
in a route covering another 85 miles, making his weekly
paper delivery total 739 miles. He continued with this job
until he was able to find work as a machinist at the onset
of World War II. He then met a gal named Elizabeth from
New Jersey, whom he courted and subsequently married
in 1940. In 1942, Hartmaier drove her to the hospital (in
the Model A, of course) to give birth to their only child,
daughter Judy. As it was the only car owned by the Hartmaiers, the Model A would see daily use and even carry
them on vacations throughout the eastern United States
and Canada. By the time the odometer broke in 1944, the
Model A had registered an incredible 416,000 miles.
The Model A was finally retired from active service
in 1960, and in the late 1960s, Hartmaier restored it to
factory-fresh condition. He then took the Model A to car
shows throughout the northeast and as far north as Toronto. The car was always driven to these shows, never
trailered, and Hartmaier claimed that, during his lifetime,
the car had been driven in every state east of the Mississippi River. Hartmaier continued his trips in the Model A
well into his 80s, including driving from Pennsylvania to
Dearborn, Mich., for a Ford gathering.
The odometer was eventually repaired, but the actual
mileage on the car is unknown. It is estimated that the
vintage Ford has been driven in excess of 600,000 miles
since new. The car retains its original engine, though it has
been rebuilt no less than four times during its lifetime.
Hartmaier fulfilled his dream of flying, obtaining his
pilot’s license in 1931. Remarkably, he would remain an
active pilot until a few months prior to his death on Jan.
27, 2009, at the age of 97.
Hartmaier was known to have turned down many offers to purchase the Model A, thought to be the oldest
vehicle in original ownership by one individual in the
United States. He was once quoted in a magazine as having said, “You can put money in the bank; you can’t ride
around in that on a nice day and get an ice cream cone.”
Rather fittingly, the car joined the collection of the Antique Automobile Club of America Museum in Hershey,
Pa., on May 2, 2009, in a proper, but simple, dedication
ceremony attended by Hartmaier’s family, friends and
museum staff. On May 4, the vehicle was placed on display in the museum’s main gallery.
The Model A’s legacy
The Model A was first introduced to the public on Dec.
2, 1927. Newspaper accounts of the day told of nearly
10 percent of the American public having gone to view
the new car. Much more complex than the Model T it replaced, the Model A was built through 1932, when Ford
introduced its new V-8.
The Model A was the first Ford to include safety glass
in all windows. The car was largely the project of Henry
Ford’s son Edsel, who got credit for the car’s handsome
looks. Nearly 4.5 million Model A’s were produced in
just four model years, making Frank Hartmaier’s storied
roadster not just one in a million, but one in nearly 4.5
million.

Q&A
In Memoriam
You will have already read in Old Cars Weekly of Tom Brownell’s passing. He served as service manager of this column for 25 years, week
in and week out, setting a goal, after learning of
his terminal diagnosis, that he would complete
a quarter century of “Q&A.” Having achieved
his goal, he continued to enjoy reading Old
Cars Weekly, and communicating with friends
by e-mail, even after he could no longer speak.
This sums up who Tom was: a faithful, considerate and humble man. We are all the better
for having been chosen to be part of his journey
through life. To Joyce and his family we extend
our sympathies.

Q.
In the March 26 “Q&A,” Gene Sanson inquired about the emblem with
the “G.” It’s the same as on my 1927-’28
Gardner Model 75. Your contributing writer
Gerald Perschbacher wrote a fine article this
past summer on Gardner. Alfred Gerisch,
West Monroe, N.Y.
Many of you recognized the “mysterious G.” It did occur to me that
Gardner was a likely suspect, but I couldn’t
find an illustration to confirm it. David
Gardner advises checking out www.gardnermotorcars.com, where there are several
examples of cars bearing this emblem. Jeff
A.
By Kit Foster
Godshall and Bob Lichty tell us that the
winged animals are griffins, mythical beasts
with the body of a lion and head and wings
of an eagle. John Boggs says a good illustration can be found in “Antique Automotive Collectibles” by Jack Martells, on page
88. Thanks to all who wrote in on this one.
However, I’m still wondering about the significance of the kneeling figure and the fish
in the shield between the griffins.
Once upon a time, most cars were
black. Now most cars are white. Can
your knowledgeable readers tell me what car
make in what year first offered cars painted
white from the factory? Mark Clinard, Florence, Colo.
To some degree, it depends on what
you call “white.” In my youth, we
used to refer to the lightest automobile color
as “cream,” and the names used by manufacturers bear this out. Until 1953, Ford’s lightest color was Sungate Ivory; Chevy offered
Moonlight Cream from 1949, and augmented it with Campus Cream in 1952. Plymouth
had Plymouth Cream in 1949, and added Patio Cream in 1951-’53, then shifted to Orlando Ivory in 1954-’55. The real whites didn’t
appear until 1954 (Chevrolet’s Polo White)
or 1956 (Ford’s Colonial White, Plymouth’s
Eggshell White). Prior to 1949, of the low-
Q.
A.
priced three, only Plymouth had a cream
color, Charlotte Ivory. Even in the 1950s, I
believe the creams and whites tended to be
the lighter hue in a two-tone combination,
less frequently a single color job. The above
is just a sampling. My source was the Ditzler
color chips at www.autocolorlibrary.com; I
haven’t been able to seriously research the
topic. Our readers are indeed knowledgeable, and I’m sure some will have additional
information regarding “firsts.”
Regarding the inquiry from Mr.
Miller about spark plug wire configuration on a 1934 Ford V-8 (March 19
“Q&A”), there are diagrams in the Early
Ford V-8 Service Manual by Clymer (page
186), as well as on page 78 of The V-8 Affair
by Ray Miller. The two appear to be identical. However, years ago, I was able to route
plug wires on my 1940 Ford without a diagram. On the flathead Ford V-8, cylinders are
numbered from the radiator 1 though 4 on
the right side (as seen by the driver) and 5
through 8 on the left side. The twin caps are
identical and each terminal on each cap has
the two possible cylinder numbers molded
in the plastic (at least on my ’40). Thus, on
a given side only one cylinder/spark plug
number is possible. Once the wires are fitted
to a given number spark plug, identified and
Q.
threaded through the metal loom and rubber
sheath, they can be plugged into the proper
terminal on the cap. Of course, a continuity
tester or taping numbers on wires would be
helpful. Robert Beck, North Canton, Ohio
We had many answers to this one,
and Mr. Beck’s explanation is the
easiest to understand without a diagram.
Several of you sent diagrams, but even these
can be hard to interpret, since the ganged
twin rotors have their arms 180 degrees from
one another and each one fires two cylinders
on each bank. Mark Hobson suggested consulting an online diagram at http://www.
vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/FH_images/FH_
engine-pics/Flathead_Distrbtr-wiring-193241.jpg. It’s an isometric drawing with color
coding that is easy to understand. If you have
trouble with the link, go to www.flatheadv8.
com, click on “Tune Up & Service Info” in
the menu at the left. Then select the diagram
for 1932-’41. Both the Ford’s firing order,
1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2, and cylinder numbering
scheme are different from most modern V8s. In addition to Mr. Beck and Mr. Hobson,
we need to thank Stan Poole, Dave Henderson and Bill Gray for their advice.

At right, George McKovich’s rare 1958 Fargo 100
Sweptside pickup. (Above) Dodge’s final-year Sweptside
D100, discontinued in January of 1959, was pictured in
sales literature with some prophetic copy: “Quite frankly,
this smooth-riding beauty is not for everyone. Instead, it’s
for the man who likes to lead the parade.”
Pretty-boy
Pickup
Rare Fargo truck has loads of good looks
Story and photos by Ron Kowalke
laying the word association game
concerning trucks of the 1950s, a
typical response to “pickup” would
be “utilitarian.” What it would not be is
“pretty.” Continuing the game, throw out
the word “Fargo” and the response should
be “exception.”
Actually, the first word that might come
to mind upon hearing “Fargo” would
be “huh?” While most people associate
Fargo with being the largest city in North
Dakota, it’s actually the brand of a Chrysler Corp.-produced line of trucks. While
Dodge and Plymouth are well-known as
stalwarts of Chrysler’s truck output, Fargo is better known north of the border as
it’s a Canadian-marketed truck under the
Chrysler Corp. umbrella.
While much of the Chrysler Corp. line
of cars and trucks marketed in Canada
were similar to their U.S. counterparts,
Fargo trucks were, again, the exception.
Canadian Dodge/Plymouth dealers sold
Dodge trucks. Canadian dealers of either
the Chrysler/Plymouth or DeSoto/Plymouth lines received Fargo trucks to sell.
Fargo’s lesser notoriety compared to
Dodge and Plymouth trucks cannot be
blamed on the make being a new kid on
the block. The Fargo name has been associated with Chrysler Corp. since 1928.
Fargo trucks remained a force in Canada
P
12 MAY 21, 2009
McKovich’s pickup had been parked in a field since 1968 before it was finally
rescued in 2002. It received a six-year total restoration as was sold at the Russo
and Steele Scottsdale Auction this past January in Arizona.
until 1972, when production ceased. (At
that point, the Fargo name survived on
trucks produced for foreign countries
such as Africa, Scandanavia, Turkey and
the Middle East).
Similar to its Dodge counterparts, initial Fargo trucks were built to be rugged
with little thought given to their looks
beyond functionality. That changed and
changed drastically by the mid to latter
1950s.
The reasons behind the move to make
trucks more appearance-friendly can be
traced to two schools of thought. Lanny
Knutson, writing in the Plymouth Bulletin, stated: “The ‘Kalifornia Kustom Kar
Kraze’ was going full bore among certain
elements in 1958. It seemed to have struck
the Chrysler [Corp.] truck people that
year as well, and not with bad results.”
The other reason for better design emphasis among trucks was the age-old driver of
change: keeping up with the competition.
Chevrolet altered the perception of
pickup design with the release of its stylish Cameo Carrier in 1955. In the spring
of 1957, International observed its 50th
anniversary of truck manufacture by releasing a handsome Golden Jublilee version of its A-100 pickup. Ford fired its
shot months later, when on Dec. 8, 1957,
it launched its revolutionary “sedan-pickup” named the Ranchero.
While Chrysler Corp. entered the pickup design one-upsmanship fray late compared to some of the other truck makers, it
certainly left no doubt it was serious about
the matter.
Enter the Sweptside pickup
In May of model year 1957, selecting
both its Dodge and Fargo Division pickups to be its truck style leaders, Chrysler
Corp. decided to graft the rear fenders
and rear bumper from its Virgil Exner-designed “Forward Look” two-door station
wagon onto its Dodge and Fargo 100 pickup boxes, creating the Sweptside look.
While these intial ’57 100 Sweptside
pickups were attractive with the hooded, singular headlamps and finned rear
quarters, and sales of the mid-year-released Dodge version of the model
achieved a respectable 1,050 units, the truck’s total appearance package
really blossomed in 1958.
Continuing with the finned rear quarter look that originated from the
station wagon line, the ’58 100 got a frontal makeover that was unlike
anything offered in a truck line previous. Knutson, again writing in the
Plymouth Bulletin, described it succinctly: “The sure-fire way for any manufacturer to update its 1958 offerings was to mount quad headlights. This
Fargo-Dodge did, though the regular dual headlamps were standard. The
oval headlamp housings were partially exposed by C-shaped cutouts on the
sides of the grille cavity. Floating between the headlights were the standard
‘Kustom’ fare — tubular grille bars. A fourth bar had its own cavity below.
On the sides of the reshaped hood were louvers, and also in true ‘kustom’
fashion, sharply creased fender sculpting swept down onto the doors.”
The Dodge and Fargo 100 also earned the distinction of having brawn as
well as good looks. According to Don Bunn, writing in his Dodge Trucks
Crestline-series book, “The Sweptside was not only a beauty, it was a serious hauler. It lead all high-styled pickups in load-carrying ability. The
Sweptside could haul 1,675 pounds per trip, more than any competitor.”
As for a happy ending where the Sweptside look swept the nation, well,
that didn’t happen. Much like the current economy, 1958 was a year that
both the United States and Canada were mired in a recession. Both automobile and truck sales plunged dramatically. In the United States, Dodge
truck sales achieved their lowest level since production of vehicles resumed
after World War II.
Fargo truck sales in Canada fared no better than Dodge’s U.S. results
for ’58. According to Ward’s 1958 Automotive Yearbook, Fargo calendar
year truck production (all models and sizes) in Canada totaled 5,179 in
1955, increased to 6,070 in ’56 and dropped significantly to 3,633 in ’57
(the final calendar year for which production totals are available), which
includes the start of ’58 model year production. By March 1958, due to
the dampened economy, Canada’s unemployment rate had reached nine
percent, and new vehicle purchases, especially stylish pickups, were likely
not even thought about.
Whether it was a victim of the economic slump or North America just
wasn’t ready for a “pretty” pickup is a debate with no clear answer. Fewer than two years after its debut, Chrysler Corp. ended its production of
Sweptside pickups in January 1959. The model was replaced by the Sweptline model, which featured Dodge and Fargo’s first cab-wide cargo box and
a more sedate flow of the pickup’s body lines from front to rear.
Signature styling cues found on the Sweptside
models of Dodge and Fargo 100 pickups are many.
They include (above) the “Forward Look” rear quarter
panels and rear bumper borrowed from Dodge’s twodoor station wagon and (below) a combination of trim,
badging and louvers that highlight the curved slope of
the otherwise cleanly styled hood.
Forward look
Jump ahead just over a half century and parked among the rows of collector vehicles consigned to the January 2009 Russo and Steele Scottsdale
(Ariz.) Auction was the 1958 Fargo 100 Sweptside pickup owned by George
McKovich of Twin Falls, Idaho. The signage accompanying McKovich’s
Sweptside claimed it to be one of six known to exist. Six of how many is
the obvious question, and one best answered by the Fargo pickup’s owner.
“From what I can extrapolate,” McKovich explained, “the Canadian
population was about one-tenth of the United States at that time. If the
figures for the U.S. production are correct at around 1,000 for 1958, that
would result in about 100 in Canada. One would also need to divide that
total by possibly two, because Canada had both Canadian Dodge and Fargo
production. That is just my rough estimation of Canadian production.”
McKovich said he discovered the Fargo parked in a snow-covered field
in Minot, N.D., in the winter of 2002. It had been parked there since 1968,
and was in poor condition. An extensive restoration occured over the next
six years, the result of which was on display at the Russo and Steele sale.
McKovich’s reserve on the Fargo was not met when the pickup crossed the
auction block, and it returned to Idaho. McKovich added that while he’s not
been actively marketing the Fargo, it’s still for sale.
On a Web site devoted to the discovery and subsequent restoration of the
Fargo pickup, McKovich states, “This truck really belongs in a museum.”
Based on its looks, make that a “Kustom Kar” museum to showcase a
pickup that hauls in high style.

Chevy pickup part of Ultimate Garage Giveaway for Iola 2009
With everyone sharing in the hardships caused by the slumping economy,
we’ve all had to roll up our sleeves and
work harder. With that in mind, the giveaway vehicle to be included in this year’s
Ultimate Garage Giveaway package presented by Old Cars Weekly at this year’s
Iola Old Car Show will be the epitome of
a working-class vehicle: a pickup. More
precisely, it’s a 1978 Chevrolet Series 10
Custom Deluxe longbox pickup.
Chevrolet produced almost 541,000
C10 pickups in all configurations in ’78,
so it was a proven unit then with strong
demand, and that demand remains strong
today among collectors. In fact, Chevrolet set a truck sales record in ’78 of 1.34
million units, or 215 per sales outlet. This
particular Chevy was purchased new in
Colorado and used for light-duty chores
until its owner passed away several years
ago. It was then stored until being purchased by Lew Lazarus of Rockford, Ill.,
for his Collector Cars, Ltd. business.
Because Lazarus is liquidating his collection of more than 500 vintage vehicles
(more on this in an upcoming issue of Old
Cars Weekly) and has been a “regular” at
Iola from almost the beginning, he wanted
to contribute the pickup to the Ultimate
Garage Giveaway prize package for this

Cutting-edge lineup
steals show in Big Apple
Story and photos by Patrick Foster
I
f it’s April in New York, it must be time
for the New York International Auto
Show. Changes brought by the economy
were clearly evident this year. The crowd of
journalists this year was smaller than in the
past, and the bank of television cameras on
hand at the opening ceremony was noticeably smaller, too. Keynote speaker Stefan
Jacoby, the CEO of VW of America, noting
the industry‘s tough times, promised “The
industry will recover.”
Nothing, not chilly weather or even an
economic downturn, can put a damper on
this legendary auto show. As always, there
was a lot for automobile enthusiasts of all
types to enjoy, in both cars new and old.
First, the new. Buick had a particularly
nice display of cars, including several of its
upcoming all-new 2010 Lacrosse. The new
sedan is notability more youthful and stylish, and is said to offer Lexus quality and
features at a modest Buick price. It’s a home
run in my book. Buick was also touting its
JD Power award as “Most Dependable Car.”
Pontiac had its hot-performing G8 GXP,
a car I can personally attest is as close to
BMW-like as you can get without moving to
Bavaria. The GM division also had its new
Solstice coupe, a really lovely machine. Unfortunately, you had better get them soon, as
Pontiac will be no more in 2010.
Ford had an eclectic display, including
two versions of the Ford transit, a Europeandesigned commercial vehicle the company is
bringing to America soon. It may be offered
here in taxi and family versions, in additional to its primary duty as a light commercial
hauler. Ford also had a 2010 Taurus display
that wins my vote for “Most Fun Show Car.”
As I approached the Taurus on its elevated
stage, it suddenly split into two halves. Two
young people in the rear seat (what were they
doing there?) invited me to sit up front. I did,
and the car closed up again, an instrument
panel video/audio presentation came on and
I was treated to a brief, but comprehensive,
review of the car’s many features.
Speaking of looks into the future, Chrysler unveiled the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Every part of the Jeep is new, and it
features an interior that rivals Mercedes or
Lexus. The new Grand Cherokee will debut
Chrysler’s all-new Pentastar V-6 engine, a
new four-wheel independent suspension
and some interesting four-wheel-drive technology.
Nissan showed off its very unique Cube.
A small personal transport like the first-gen16 MAY 21, 2009
eration Scion xB, the Cube offers incredible interior roominess for its size, a very
pleasant interior with an exciting instrument panel design, all packaged with an extremely clever and fun exterior design. The
Cube will go on sale in America soon. Hippies, loonies and small car fans will want to
check it out.
Old car fans — and there are lots of us
— enjoyed a small-but-unique display set up
by the Harold LeMay Museum, the impressive automotive collection based in Tacoma,
Wash. The museum had two Oldsmobiles on
display — both 1931 Olds model F-31 convertible roadsters. One roadster was fully
restored, while the companion green F-31 is
an all-original survivor, and in great shape,
too.
SMS, Steve Saleen’s new tuner company,
displayed an awesome bright purple SMS
570X Dodge Challenger. It’s crazy powerful — 700 hp! Reportedly, only 500 cars are
planned for production.
And for exotic car fans, the show offered a cornucopia. My favorites were the
gorgeous Spyker cars, with sleek lines and
scissor doors. Talk about high-end; the show
had a pair of Spyker’s parked next to the
Rolls-Royce exhibit.
Perhaps the most exciting concept car unveiled was Scion’s Concept IQ, a tiny two
+1+1 city car painted a weird greenish/yellowish mix. A little longer than a Smart car,
the IQ has comfortable room up front for
two, with enough space in the rear for one
adult — I didn’t sit inside, but it looked kind
of small back there — plus a child. The car
is going into production for other countries,
so we’ll likely see it here, too.
Chrysler GEM division (Global Electric Motors) had some of its tiny production EV’s on hand. I especially like the little
pickup it offers. It was upstaged early by a
surprise GM demonstration of a miniscule
two-seat electric personal transporter. Using
the Segway personal transporter’s balancing
program, the GM vehicle looks sort of like
a wheelchair designed by a committee. It
seats two, though they better be pretty thin,
and rides on two wheels. It has tiny wheels
front and rear (one observer called them
training wheels) just in case, but apparently
they only come into play when the vehicle is
at rest. Powered only by electricity, the vehicle might sell for as little as $6,000.
All in all, the New York International
Auto Show once again lived up to its image as one of the premier auto shows in the
world.

here were two versions of the 1958 Ford Ranchero produced, the base
model and this, the more upscale Custom version. Combined, only 9,950
were built, 1,471 and 8,479, respectively.
According to research conducted by its owner, William “Tom” Gerrard of
Manalapan, Fla., this Ranchero Custom pickup was built in San Jose, Calif., on
Dec. 20,1957. It’s powered by a 352-cid/300-hp V-8 mated to a Cruise-O-Matic
three-speed automatic transmission. It was restored in 2004, and has traveled
fewer than 75,000 miles since rolling off Ford’s assembly line.

“The police officer in the foreground is Sgt. George Baker of the Dunmore
Police Department, shown directing traffic at the corner of Blakely and Drinker
Streets,” Baker Lovering wrote. “Wet and slick conditions, coupled with a full load
of stone, were not kind to the International truck.”

f it weren’t for the trees growing around it, this straight and intact Ford F-150
truck from the 1980s appears as though it could be driven away with another
load in its bed. In a few more years, however, it will be a “Weathered Wheels”
candidate.
Reader Wes Carr sent in the photograph and said he occasionally drives by
the truck while passing through Rowley, Mass. He noted that the F-150 gets
more overgrown each year.
“I’m trying to figure out if this is ‘yard art,’ or maybe they just can’t find the
keys,” Carr said. Although the truck is complete, it would take quite a bit to
make the collector-age
truck show-quality. A
good first step would
be replacing the front
bumper, scraping the
moss off the sides and
repairing the rusted front
fender. However, if the
owner waits too long, the
foliage might just overtake the truck enough to
make it forgotten.

Haulin’ Hudsons
Story and photos by John Gunnell
H
udson Motor Car Co. was incorporated on Feb. 24,
1909, with the company’s name coming from J.L.
Hudson, a department store owner and investor in
the new firm. The Detroit-based company did not start series production of light-duty trucks until 1929, but many
car-to-truck conversions were made from at least 1913
on.
Commonly seen in the pre-World War I era and later
were service cars that Hudson dealers used as pickups,
tow vehicles and emergency service trucks to aid stranded motorists. Hudson encouraged its dealers to construct
and use such cars.
Hudson service cars were usually quite handsome
trucks with several common features, such as high sidecargo boxes with bright metal railings, platform-type rear
extensions and oversized rear tires.
Roadster conversions were prevalent in the 1910s, with
panel body types appearing from 1919 on. By the 1920s,
the Essex roadster became a popular base vehicle for the
service cars. At least one such vehicle, with disc wheels,
This Hudson Long Boy Pick-Up dates from 1947, the company’s last year of truck
production. It was available with optional Weather-Master air conditioning.

Company had lengthy
history of interesting trucks
and service vehicles
was employed at Hudson’s Detroit factory in 1921.
By 1914, ambulances built on the Hudson chassis
with large panel bodies began to appear. During World
War I, many of these were built for the U.S. Army’s use.
Carved-side hearses were also seen as early as 1915. In
the same period, some dealer service cars were handed
down to volunteer fire departments for hose wagon and
rescue squad work. Hudson’s high-speed Super-Six engine helped when it came to responding quickly to emergencies.
Hudson’s first line of commercial vehicles offered to
Hudson station wagons left the commercial vehicle line in 1941, the year this
beautiful woodie was made.
the public was provided in 1921 under the Dover nameplate. These vehicles were essentially Essex trucks introduced on July 1 of that year. Five 3/4-ton-rated models
composed the line. Interestingly, Pontiac, arch rival of Essex, introduced a light truck in 1927. The Dovers, much
like their rival, were equipped with deluxe-level features,
such as sidemount tires, chrome-rimmed headlamps and
double body belt moldings.
While Hudson did not factory produce fire trucks in
1927, a truck was made for the Alden Minnesota Fire Department by a welding shop in the same town. It was built
on the chassis of a Hudson limousine supplied to the fire
department by a local Hudson dealer. Volunteer firefighters built the body at the dealer’s body shop. The truck has
a 127-7/8-inch wheelbase and uses a 288.6-cid F-head
six-cylinder engine. The powerful engine could pump 500
gallons of water per minute. The truck stayed in service
until 1958 and was restored, in 1980, by Hudson Essex
Terraplane Club member Bruce Mori-Kubo.
In 1930, Essex passenger cars grew bigger, but the
trucks made under this name were actually 1929 Dovers
with new identification badges. Apparently, Dover sales
had not matched factory production goals and trucks leftover from inventory were simply sold as the “new Essex truck.” The ploy didn’t help much during the Great
Depression, as 1930 serial numbers indicate slightly decreased production.
Hudson historian Don Butler discovered that the commercial vehicle line was “faltering badly as a salable product” by 1931. There were ten models which, again, were
mostly a continuation of the 1929 Dovers on a shorter
wheelbase than the then-current Essex cars.
Specially designed Essex Dover postal delivery vans
with sliding side doors, high-headroom styling and fancyedged body paneling were also produced in 1929-’31. The
U.S. Postal Department purchased 500 of them in total.
They used the 288.6-cid six that produced 92 hp at 3,200
rpm. The 2,910-lb. 3/4-ton trucks sold for $895. Some of
these vehicles delivered mail well into the 1950s.
Hudson factory shipments for trucks in 1932 totaled
412 Essex commercial vehicles — probably all leftover
1931 models. No trucks are believed to have been merchandised in 1932’s model lineup. They returned on April
1 of the following year as Essex-Terraplanes. There were
numerous models, including a short-coupled sedan delivery.
Terraplane’s streamlined approach in 1934 was carried
over to the commercial vehicle lineup. This resulted in
trucks with a most distinctive appearance that look almost
toy-like in catalog artwork. These models were truly halfcar and half-truck, and this theme would become characteristic of most Hudson trucks from then on.
For 1935, the Terraplane Six trucks were slightly more
modernized in appearance, particularly the front end
sheet metal. This year’s Cab Pickup Express was the first
to use this name and had features, such as removable tool
lockers, that survived throughout postwar times. By this
time, there was also a “commercial car” line of sedans,
coupes, taxis and aftermarket station wagons produced on
a heavier-duty car chassis. These units had such features
as removable or folding leatherette seats for passengers or
cargo-carrying options.
Styling for 1936 was more art deco and more streamlined. The woodie wagon became more or less a “factory” model in the truck line, although its body was still
sourced from outside suppliers. The 1/2-ton commercial
Speed, economy and
stamina were advertised

built by Hudson.
cars were also continued.
In 1937, the Utility Coupe Pickup joined this sub-series. It featured a telescoping cargo box that slid in and
out of the five-window coupe body like a dresser drawer.
An innovation of this year was the “Big Boy” series that
included trucks having the same body and cargo area dimensions as the regular trucks, but riding a longer wheelbase.
The 1937 Series 70 Hudson Terraplane Pick-Up Express rode on a 117-in. wheelbase and weighed 2,980
lbs. Priced at $700, these trucks were pulled along by
the company’s 212-cid, 88-hp Hudson flathead six. These
trucks offered a load bed that could accommodate a standard 4x8-ft. sheet of plywood. Ford and Chevrolet did not
match this selling point until 1953. According to Hudson,
relocating the rear wheels seven inches farther back allowed heavy loads to be balanced better on the chassis
while creating better handling.
The year 1938 brought the name Hudson-Terraplane
into official usage on trucks. Meanwhile, the compact
new Hudson 112 line was also provided with light-duty
commercial models. Considering that slightly more than
800 units were shipped by the factory, Hudson’s line of 19
models in three series was remarkable.
In 1939, the line was reduced to 14 models in three
series, with the new 3/4-ton Pacemaker having a single
panel truck on the 118-inch wheelbase. Gone was the Terraplane name. Remaining were the 1/2-ton Hudson 112
on a 112-inch wheelbase and the 3/4-ton “Big Boy” on a
119-inch wheelbase.
The following year, the 1/2-ton trucks gained one
inch of wheel span and the Big Boys grew to a 125-inch
wheelbase chassis. These were the only changed offerings
in a line totaling 10 commercial models. A cleaner-looking “ship’s prow” front end was adopted.
Again in 1941, Hudson offered an optional sliding
cargo box for the business coupe. Merchandised as the
Traveler Business Coupe Series 40T, less than 1,000 were
made. The small pickup truck box slid out from the trunk,
so the car could be used as both a passenger vehicle and
a small cargo carrier. Power was provided by a 174.9-cid,
92-hp six.
Both series grew three inches in wheelbase for 1941
and styling was modestly changed. Station wagons moved
to the car lineup, which reduced the number of trucks and
utility cars to eight models. This total was cut in half for
1942, when the only true trucks were the 1/2-ton pick-
Celebrating Hudson’s 100th
The 100th Anniversary of the Hudson Motor Car
Co. will be celebrated this year. The Hudson Essex
Terraplane Club is planning a special national meet to
mark the occasion. The Hostetler Hudson Collection
in Shipshewana, Ind., will also be holding a Hudson
Homecoming. Both events will feature Hudson cars
and trucks. Here are some additional details:
The second-annual Hudson Homecoming will
be held at the Town Center in Shipshewana, Ind., on
May 14-15, 2009. This event kicks off with a cruisein at the Essen Haus in Middlebury, Ind., on May
14. For infomration, call 260-768-3021, or emailing
[email protected].
Members of the Hudson Essex Terraplane Club
(HET) will then convene for the organization’s 50th
National Meet in the City of Detroit, where the Hudson brand started 100 years earlier. The July 13-17
event will feature a long list of attractions. Call Ken

up and the 3/4-ton Big Boy, which had a larger Hudson
badge on its nose.
The only Hudson commercial vehicle to return after
the war in 1946 was the Pick-Up, which was really the old
Cab Pickup. This model had the wheelbase of the prewar
Big Boy trucks, but used a more powerful Super-Six engine. The 254-cid, L-head produced 102 hp. Only 3,104
units left the assembly line.
Styling of the Hudson Pick-Up was very modestly
altered in 1947, with the primary change being an even
larger Hudson emblem on front. Unlike Hudson cars, the
Pick-Ups retained running boards. They were designated
178 models and were rated as 3/4-ton trucks. A big selling
point was their wide cab, which could hold three people
in comfort. There was just one model priced at $1,675,
and only 2,917 were made.
After 1947, Hudson turned all of its attention to its
totally new “step-down” models, and the prewar-based
Pick-Up did not reappear in the model lineup. During
1948, at least one experimental step-down Hudson truck
was created. It had a 1949 serial number, but this truck
was not approved for production. That’s too bad, as it was
very modern in concept and appearance.

Every Nut & Bolt for your Truck!
A Studebaker Weasel was one of several
vehicles providing rides around the field at
the Red Ball meet.
A Hawk missile carrier built in 1982 had been taken out of
storage not long before the meet.
An Olive Drab ‘blast’
As always, annual Red Ball meet marches to its own beat
Story and photos by Bob Tomaine
T
here’s something undeniably fascinating about a
show where taking a ride in a rarely seen vehicle
is almost a casual activity. But that was certainly
the fact as Studebaker Weasels kept busy carrying
visitors around the Red Ball Military Transport annual meet.
“There are two of them that haven’t stopped running since the show started,” Red Ball board member
Bob Rubino said. “It’s very unusual. Tracked vehicles,
people normally don’t want them running around at
shows, because they’re afraid of damaging the pavement. This is the one place where you can drive and
drive and drive. There’s a great big field and it’s dirt,
so it’s unusual to see this many Weasels at a show.
You’re lucky if you see one Weasel at a show.”
The Gilbert, Pa., meet attracted four of the World
War II Studebaker M-29 Weasels this year. Rubino
said it would’ve drawn another, but the fifth vehicle’s
owner felt that enough Weasels were on hand and
chose instead to show his Ford GPA. Tom Rogers
of Mantua, N.J., was one of those offering rides in
his Weasel, and although he had to cut things short
because of a transmission problem, he still carried
enough passengers to gauge their reactions.
“They had a blast,” he said. “I would tell them sitting in the back, ‘Just hold on because when I turn,
it pivots.’ I equate that to sitting in the backseat of
the back car in an old wooden roller coaster, because
when it turns, you get thrown to the side.
“They said, ‘This is way better than a roller coaster.
It’s way better.’ We’ve got a lot of area here and we re24 MAY 21, 2009
ally aren’t supposed to go fast, but a couple of times I
was able to get it into third gear and open it up going
across the field.”
Rogers bought his Weasel about four years ago,
because he wanted a tracked vehicle small enough to
be manageable. Given its size — roughly comparable
to that of a contemporary jeep — the canvas-roofed
Weasel was the logical choice. Unfortunately, his had
no drivetrain, and despite having been displayed in
a European museum, its body was in poor condition
due to the large number of holes cut into it. The Weasel also had at least one odd problem that didn’t turn
up until after he’d installed the replacement engine
and transmission.
“The rear was there,” Rogers said, “but they had
taken the rear apart and flipped the gears, so the thing
only ran in reverse. I had three reverse gears and one
forward gear, so I had to take that apart, flip the gears
and put it back together.”
The engine is a Studebaker six and the transmission is a conventional three-speed, both of which came
from a parts Weasel, while a third donor provided the
body. A new set of tracks was the last major addition,
and although expensive, they were necessary, because
Rogers drives his Weasel.
“I have the stretcher brackets on there,” he said,
“so I was riding around yesterday with two stretchers
on them. I actually had a Marine come up to me, and
when he was in the service, he rode in the back of
these as a medic with the stretchers on them. I gave
him a ride yesterday …
“To have guys come up to you and say ‘I drove
one,’ ‘we had one in our unit,’ ‘we did whatever,’ it’s
A 1943 GMC CCKW, one of the early arrivals on the fields,
waits for the morning fog to burn off.
Size and rarity make this 1943 FWD HAR-1 very difficult
to overlook.
A 37mm anti-tank gun made a good match to the 1942
Willys MB that’s pictured towing it.

just great. You give them a ride. It makes them feel good
about what they did and you get a little information. It
works out.”
The Weasels weren’t the only vehicles running around
on the fairgrounds; others included several GMC CCKWs, a White M3A1 half-track and a Hawk missile carrier.
As a relatively small tracked vehicle, the latter is at least
somewhat like a Weasel, but only somewhat; its data tag
indicates that it was built in 1982 and it’s powered by a
Ford four driving through an automatic transmission.
“That was used strictly for loading Hawk missiles onto
fighter aircraft,” explained Dan Werner of Reeders, Pa.,
who was driving the missile carrier because he was considering buying it. “They would be loaded via another piece
of equipment onto the Hawk carrier and then the Hawk
carrier operator … [placed] those missiles underneath the
aircraft so that the aircraft clamps would clamp on.”
Like a Weasel, it uses a pair of control sticks for turning and stopping. Werner said that operating it at anything
above a slow speed is easy, possibly too easy when it
comes to turns at higher speeds. He was concerned about
throwing a track. Or worse.
“No roll bar on this,” Werner said. “You don’t want to
go too, too fast.”
The missile carrier had been in storage for about 15
years when he learned of its existence and began negotiating with its owner. He’d pulled it out and gotten it
running, although the owner wasn’t sure that he wanted
to sell, thus the extended test drive during the Red Ball
meet. “Exactly,” Werner said. “It’s like, ‘Take it for the
weekend and let me know what you think.’ ”
It was a little different for Ken Coanshock of Carteret,
N.J., who had actually been hoping to find something like
the 37mm antitank gun that he was towing behind his
1942 Willys MB.
“I’d always wanted an artillery piece,” he explained.
“I was always interested in Civil War artillery, although I
was never in the military. I found out that there was a guy
down in Missouri that had about a dozen of these for sale,
and I drove down one weekend and I bought one.”
Not a common sight on this side of the Atlantic, this personnel carrier is a 1973
Styer Puch Pinzgauer.
“I had to do a lot of restoration on it. It didn’t look like
this. It was all rusted.”
Coanshock said the gun was based on an older German
design and was less successful in the European Theater
than in the Pacific; it was not very effective against German tanks’ armor, he said, but with the addition of special
rounds, it was a formidable antipersonnel weapon against
the Japanese. Its small size and easy handling were also
pluses in the Pacific, just as they make it a good match to
the jeep. And that, of course, was the ideal reason to buy
the jeep that was for sale about 20 miles away.
“I had to do a lot of work to it,” Coanshock said, “because although it was restored back in ’80, it sat for a long
time. It needed a lot of updates, a lot of TLC. I did a lot
of work on the jeep, more work on the jeep than I did on
the gun.”
More than 60 years old, the jeep and the gun still make
a good match. “It can pull it without a problem,” Coanshock said. “I don’t even know that it’s back there. I pull
it in parades a lot and it doesn’t put any resistance on the
jeep as long as I’m on level ground. Even going up a hill,
I don’t really have much trouble.”
One truck on the show field looked as if it wouldn’t really have much trouble with anything. David Firstman of
Easton, Md., said that his 1943 FWD HAR-1 is from an
order of 9,000 units, most of which went to allies under
Lend-Lease. Some served with American combat forces,
he said, but others played a role that was open only to very
strong vehicles.
“Quite a few of them,” Firstman said, “went up to the
Alcan Highway project that was underway at the time.”
That speaks well for the truck, but he said its main use
was as a cargo-carrier or a prime mover for light artillery.
No matter what his FWD did in its working years, it managed to survive fairly well; the wood bed, for example, is
the original, although a GMC CCKW gave up some small
parts for it.
“The troop seat side hardware on this truck was completely corroded,” he explained, “and I had to replace
it with NOS hardware that came with the GMC that I
bought.” Like most military vehicles, this one has a history that’s not completely known, but when Firstman
bought it several years ago, it showed only minor rust and
damage, something that fits with a possible explanation
for its condition.
“From what I understand,” he said, “this truck was used
in the filming of ‘The Dirty Dozen,’ so I’ve got a feeling
that the paint job was done during that moviemaking. Just
a quick paint job with British markings, British color;
there are areas where it was hand-brush painted, which of
course we sandblasted and sodablasted and took all down.
But the truck was obviously warehoused its whole life,
because the original wood body that’s on the truck is in
perfect condition. There were no rotten boards, nothing at
all, no water damage of any kind on the truck.”
At some point after that, it went into a private collection in England before making its way to the United
States around 1990. It changed hands several times before Firstman bought it. By then, the FWD’s six-cylinder
Waukesha BZ had developed some problems.
“This truck needed a new water pump and needed a
new head, because the head was cracked,” Firstman said.
“A freeze plug was gone, so it was not holding coolant
at all and it took me all summer, but we got the engine
going.”
The FWD uses a five-speed transmission and chaindriven transfer case to send power to both axles. Its speed
is limited to about 30 and its suspension is so heavy, Firstman said, that driving it at a higher speed would likely
bounce its passengers out of the truck. He did add that
the steering is easy and the transmission shifts “relatively
smoothly.” It’s trailered just about everywhere, but even
with few opportunities to drive it, he said buying the
FWD was the right choice, because he enjoyed working
on it, and because of its rarity. Just three are known to
be restored, so the chance of parking next to another is
remote.
“You don’t see many of them,” he said, “and it’s nice
to come to a show and see some variety, something unusual.”

AUCTION EXPRESS NEWS: THE NEWS BEHIND THE NUMBERS
By Ron Kowalke
2010 Collector Car Price Guide
With the warm-weather months ahead,
the collector vehicle hobby is shifting into
high gear. For buyers and sellers of vintage vehicles, there’s no better resource
for assigning fair market value to an old
car or light-duty truck than the “2010 Collector Car Price Guide.”
The latest edition of this annual reference book covers vehicles from 1901 to
2002, more than 100 years of values. It
features the same 1 through 6 condition
rating scale that is the industry standard
and foundation of its magazine companion, Old Cars Price Guide, which is published six times per year.
“As with every edition, a lot of sweat
equity and midnight oil went into revising
and updating the 2010 book,” explained
Ron Kowalke, the book’s editor. “I especially want to say a public thank you to
Gerald Perschbacher, because he’s the goto guy for the revisions made to the prewar
pricing. It gets tougher each year to establish values on the early cars and trucks
because they don’t appear as often at public auctions, and many of their sales are
private transactions. Essentially, it’s what
I refer to as going ‘underground.’ Gerald
spent an enormous amount of time with
owners and dealers of prewar vehicles
researching their fair market value to get
solid data to use in revising the book.”
Kowalke added, “While many in the
hobby might have written off the prewar
vehicles as being passed by in favor of
muscle cars and exotics, we’re committed
to this segment of the collector vehicle
hobby. The “Collector Car Price Guide”
book will continue to be the source for accurate values on both prewar and postwar
collector vehicles.
“An incentive for anyone interested
in buying this new edition of the book,”
Kowalke stressed, “is it contains a bonus video titled, ‘How To Condition Rate
Collector Cars.’ The video will help both
novice and expert alike to correctly assign
which of the 1 through 6 condition ratings
is applicable to any collector vehicle.”
For more information on the “2010
Collector Car Price Guide” ($22.99), call

Tucker #41 offered for sale
Clars Auction Gallery of Oakland,
Calif., is offering a 1948 Tucker Torpedo
sedan in its June 6-7 sale. The car, serial
number 1041, is one of only 51 Tucker
automobiles ever made, and a prime example of what made Tuckers, according
to their advertisements, “unlike anything
30 MAY 21, 2009
Number 41 of 51 built, this 1948 Tucker Torpedo sedan was featured in the movie,
“Tucker, The Man and His Dream.” It will be offered for sale by Clars Auction Gallery
of Oakland, Calif., at its June 6-7 sale. (Clars Auction Gallery photo)
else on the highway.”
The Tucker 48, unveiled on June 19,
1947, was the invention of car enthusiast
and businessman Preston Thomas Tucker
and renowned designer Alex Tremulis.
Its creation symbolizes one of the last attempts by an independent U.S. car manufacturer to break into the world of highvolume automotive production.
The Tucker took the automotive world
by surprise with its many modern innovations, including safety features such as a
padded dashboard and a center-mounted
steerable headlamp referred to as “Cyclops.” Most remarkable was the Tucker’s
converted Franklin helicopter engine, a
335-cid six-cylinder, horizontally opposed
engine with 166 hp and 372 pound-feet of
torque. Thus equipped, the Tucker could
accelerate from 0-60 mph in 10 seconds
and travel an estimated top speed of 120
mph.
Despite the public enthusiasm for Tucker’s car, the Tucker Corp. was short lived.
Preston Tucker and his company were
accused by the Securities and Exchange
Commission of a variety of violations,
including mail fraud. Although eventually
cleared of all charges, the negative publicity and financial strains brought on by the
SEC trials were insurmountable, and the
Tucker Corp. closed its plant and fell into
receivership in early 1949.
Although the early history of Tucker
no. 1041 is unknown, it was acquired in
1954 by the now-defunct Sutro Museum
at the Cliff House in San Francisco, where
it was displayed alongside other rarities,
including authentic Egyptian mummies.
In 1970, the current owners purchased
the Tucker at an auction of the Sutro Collection. At that time, the car had traveled
90,000 miles. The current owners have
put on an additional 30,000 miles. In
1988, the car was featured in the movie
“Tucker: The Man and His Dream.”
Serial number 1041 was professionally restored in the early 1970s to enhance
both its appearance and drivability. The
interior is in extraordinary original condition — only the carpet has been replaced.
The body of the car has been fitted with
new wide white walls and more authentic
hubcaps, and has been straightened and
re-sprayed yellow. The car has also been
fitted with a new condenser and new revulcanized underpinnings for its rubber
suspension. A non-standard electric fuel
pump has been added for quicker starting,
and the flat six engine has been professionally rebuilt with automotive pistons
to prevent the copious oil consumption
associated with aircraft-based engines.
Although the car runs well, an original,
“in-the-crate” Tucker engine is included
with the lot, as well as Tucker promotional
materials.
Tuckers have long been sought-after
investments, desired for their rarity, historical significance and innovative design
and engineering. It’s a car that, according
to Preston Tucker, “makes thousands say
at a glance, ‘I won’t be satisfied until a
Tucker is mine.’”
The Tucker will be offered as part of a
larger two-day sale, including many other
noteworthy cars.

St. Louis Classic & Exotic Auction
Due to the overwhelming success of
the first St. Louis Classic & Exotic Car
Auction held in August 2008, Motoexotica was left with little room to expand.
That sale attracted more than 325 consigned cars and almost 4,000 people.
This year, Motoexotica will be partnering with The Manheim St. Louis Auto
Auction. The Manheim facility, with 200
acres, provides more space for bidders and
consignors, and
plenty of room for
parking.
All consigned
cars will be parked on a paved surface
and the auction will be held indoors. The
Manheim St. Louis Facility is tailor made
for this event with room to grow in the
years to come.
The auction will take place on June 5,
starting at 2 p.m., and continue June 6,
starting at 10 a.m. Doors open to the public at 8 a.m. both days for vehicle preview.
More than 400 Classic, exotic and luxury
vehicles are expected, as well as motorcycles.
ClassicCarFacts.com will be the auction’s online bidding service and provide
live broadcast via the Internet.

VanDerBrink Pontiac auction
With the announced demise of the Pontiac Division of General Motors, the May
30 auction of Dana Lerum’s collection of
Pontiac cars and parts presented by VanDerBrink Auctions will be every old car
enthusiast’s chance to purchase automotive items from the history-making days
of Pontiac production.
The auction will take place in Pepin,
Wis., and will feature GTOs, Firebird
Trans Ams, Bonnevilles, Catalinas and
Grand Prixs among the cars to be offered

“Dana Lerum has enjoyed Pontiacs
ever since high school and also raced
them,” said Yvette VanDerBrink, founder
of VanDerBrink Auctions. “This auction
not only includes Pontiac’s finest, such as
GTOs and Trans Ams, but also other GM
collector cars and a vast assortment of
Pontiac and GM parts, including engines,
transmissions, wheels and more.”
A preview of auction items is scheduled for May 29 from 10 a.m. til 7 p.m.

Rime sells automobilia
B. Mitchell Carlson reporting
Auctioneer Mark Rime had moved his
annual spring automobilia and petroliana
auction farther north in the Twin Cities
metro area, to the Don Hansen VFW post
in Soderville, Minn. While more cozy
than the previous venue, this one was
more open and better lit — a plus for both
the buyers (with easier inspection) and the
auction staff (easier to see said bidders
bidding) during the April 25 sale.
There was a good variety of both automobilia and petroliana among the antique
advertising that was sold. The top sale was
a 1930s-era Standard Oils ISO-VIS Polarine one-sided porcelain sign thermometer,
sold for $1,100. Close behind was a newin-the-crate 1939 Exide Battery one-sided
porcelain sign — complete with the shipping address stenciled on the cardboard
backing — that brought $1,000.
The auction crew generally did a respectable job with running the sale. Towards the end, they did leave two tables of
the lower-valued boxed items to do choice
bidding on them. Not only with those final
items, but throughout the sale there were
several good deals that that found new
owners. One can easily chalk up some this
as an effect of the economy, but several
avenues of collectibles have seen some
settling in values even before the whole
economic downturn began. While a few
consignors may have grumbled, for those
who were buying, this was their day. As
far as the number of buyers was concerned,
it was also down from previous years, but
only slightly. One thing that the overall
jovial group of buyers who were there really appreciated was the auction company
having a light lunch available for them.
Some of the representative prices realized on automobilia and petroliana include:

RM Novi bests predictions
Phil Skinner reporting,
assisted by Jere Gaves
With the economy a bit shaky around
the Detroit area, one might think that holding a collector car auction might not be a
wise thing to do. But, Novi is one of RM
Auction’s anchor sales, and the company
put its best foot forward and was rewarded
with an event that did considerably better
than anyone predicted.
We had heard that a sale total of under
a million had been touted about, and the
end result was a pleasant surprise. Staged
at the Rock Finanacial Center in Novi,
Mich., a total of 252 lots, including everything from muscle to Classic, special
interest and street rods to even a great collection of restored motorcycles and scooters, gathered to come under the hammer.
With bids encouraged from auctioneers
Brent Earlywine and Frank Stapleton, the
action was quick paced over the weekend
of April 27-28. A total of 119 lots were
called sold for a 47.2 percent sell-through,
with the top-dollar honors going to the
biggest lot possibly in the history of this
sale, a 1950 Flxible bus/motorhome. Powered by a Buick 320-cid inline eight, this
had been purpose-built at the factory in
New Loudonville, Ohio, and used lightly
showing just under 25,000 miles.
A number of cars received some strong
bids but the sellers were thinking it was
2006 again and holding out for money
that just wasn’t there. Despite the tough
economy of the area, we didn’t see any car
being “dumped,” although we saw several
bargains and some cars we have followed
were called sold for up to 50 percent less
than a year ago. When the last car crossed
the block, the sale total we came up with
was $1,831,225 plus a 10 percent commission for a sale total of $2,014,945, or
a little more than twice on pre-sale worstcase scenarios had been. Compared to this
sale from a year before, the numbers were
way down.
“But remember,” Ken Wallace, the local organizer for RM reminded us, “in
2007, we had a 106-car no-reserve collection, if you take those numbers away from
the rest of that sale, we are about even, so
we are pleased.”

No ‘last’ resort
C
By Sharon Thatcher
ar clubs are frequently faced with deciding
where to hold an event that will appeal to the
widest range of its members’ interests. On the
list of priorities is finding some place quiet
enough for pleasant scenic tours yet large
enough to accommodate parking and meeting room requirements. At the same time, the venue should have opportunities that appeal to other family members.
Some organizations have discovered the benefits of
holding their old car gatherings at resorts, and one Wisconsin resort in particular feels it is positioned perfectly
to meet such varied needs.
Olympia Resort and Spa, Oconomowoc, Wis., sits on
11 acres between Milwaukee and Madison. Although it
is situated less than two miles from Interstate 94, visitors can easily avoid the rush by driving directly from
the resort on secondary roads to some of the most scenic,
glacier-carved landscape in the Midwest.
Mark M. Mayfield, director of sales & marketing for
Olympia, says the resort has hosted many hobby-related
events since its opening in 1972, and it has many conveniences built in that make it equally suited for both small
and large gatherings. Past car club guests have included
the Wisconsin Edsel Club, Dairyland Plymouth Owners
Club, Boondockers Car Club, Lotus Car Club, and one
of the largest, the International Ford Retractable Club,
which held its 36th annual convention there in 2007.
“What our appeal is, from an environmental standpoint, is that we offer a different atmosphere,” said May-
field. “We can offer an experience.
“If you want a scenic drive you can just go out of the
drive onto Highway 67 and that takes you right to the
Kettle Moraine forest district.”
Scenery, however, only goes so far when it comes to
hosting a club event, and Mayfield rattles off the hard statistics of what Olympia offers: 10,600 sq.-ft. main convention hall that can open to wheel a car in for exhibition,
20 banquet rooms and multiple meeting facilities.
“Our ballroom handles up to 500 people, and our
Olympia Center handles up to 1,000,” he noted.
The resort is owned and operated by the Rick Eckert
family and is nearing completion of a two-year renovation.
Outside are 30 RV parking spots, 650 vehicle parking spots and ample room for either public or private car
shows. “If it’s a show where the public is invited, we can
work with the media to get the word out, or we can cordon off a private area just for the club,” Mayfield said.
“We have it so the club can just set up and relax. We
don’t have parking fees, or Internet fees. We can offer the
experience … If you’re looking for a glass of fine wine
or a Pabst Blue Ribbon, a hamburger or filet mignon, we
can accommodate everybody’s tastes.”
It’s the “extracurricular” activities and opportunities
that some of today’s resorts can offer that really break
from tradition and can make an old car gathering a truly
first-class event. Long gone are the days when car show
attendees can look forward only to long, hot days in a
field or on a sun-baked parking lot. These days, car club
members don’t even have to bring their cooler or lawn
Wisconsin’s Olympia Resort
among the full-service venues
rolling out red carpet for car clubs
chairs to survive the weekend.
Olympia Resort is probably better equipped for car
club functions that most facilities in northern states because it has year-round attractions. The resort includes an
18-hole golf course on-site, plus 18 additional holes just
a mile away, with a total of seven courses within the immediate area. There’s a large outdoor pool, a scenic pond
and, for winter, a ski hill. For car show “widows” who
want a little pampering, there’s a state-of-the-art health
spa.
Mayfield says Olympia Resort will be hosting a wide
variety of group events this year, including sports, fishing
and hunting expos, state billiards tournaments, national
dog shows and several private and public car shows.
He is hoping the club can continue to grow its reputation as an ideal location for car hobby events, and admits
to having a personal connection to the old car crowd after
growing up with an antique car family. “My dad rebuilt a
Chevy 1931 three-window coupe,” he said. “I remember
the day it arrived on a flatbed trailer. He bought the body
and frame from St. Louis and built the rest of the car
himself. It took him seven years.”
His dad still has the car, along with a 1948 Chevy milk
truck and 1981 Shovelhead Harley-Davidson.
“We really respect the fact that these cars are very
important and quite valuable,” he said. “It is not just a
hobby, but a part of the well being of the owners.”

» PERSCHBACHER’S PACKARD POINTS
Bob Aller: A devoted
Packard man to the end
R
obert H. Aller, longtime resident
of Kearney, Mo., and one of the
last zone service managers for the
Packard Motor Car Co., passed away on
May 1.
More than 30 years ago, as I was interviewing Packard personnel, I was encouraged by several former Packard dealers
and employees to “talk with Bob Aller.”
He came highly recommended as one of
the best postwar experts on Packard automobiles.
“Bob trained my service manager. He
held training seminars on rebuilding engines and Packard’s own Ultramatic transmission,” I was told by Irv Albrecht, one
of the nation’s top Packard dealers. “If
you talk to Bob, he can answer all your
technical questions.”
And he did. Aller treated the hobby
with the same intensity that made him
one of Packard’s top men in the field. He
would talk to Packard owners at length
about their technical problems relating to
V-8 oil pumps and other fine details.
“I’ve developed a method to improve
those faulty oil pumps. Never were made
right,” he said. “If Packard had stayed in
operation, they would have adapted some
changes like I made on my own cars. I’ve
been running more than 30,000 miles on
an updated oil pump with nary a problem,” he boasted, and justifiably so. Aller
had done what the factory couldn’t.
Little improvements based on his
Packard training made it possible to keep
a good number of postwar Packards on
the road, running at top performance.
Aller put quality first. The concept was
instilled in him from his first day with
Packard. That was in 1950, as the wideeyed young man made a trip to the Detroit factory to join the ranks of “Packard
people.” Visits to Detroit became part of
his trade. One of those visits came a few
years later.
“I remember the Packard Balboa hardtop with roll-down rear window. It was
coming down the assembly line. Magnificent, simply magnificent! I’ll never forget
it,” he noted some years ago. “It was exciting!”
Aller held regional and citywide training sessions for area dealership personnel,
giving his stamp of approval when they
passed his tests. Once sanctioned, those
mechanics seemed to stand a little taller.
42 MAY 21, 2009
But Packard’s days were numbered.
The company still held promise in 1950,
but an aging leadership knew younger and
more vibrant ideas were necessary. Soon,
James Nance took the helm as Packard
president, and countless changes were
made in the head office. The local distributorship system was retired in favor
of factory-direct zone operations, which
Aller was involved in setting up for the St.
Louis area, covering a wide area east and
west of the Mississippi River, north and
south of the city. His base of operations
was on Hampton Avenue near the western
extremity of the city limits.
By 1956, it was clear that Packard had
reached a do-or-die moment. A merger
with Studebaker had proved to be financially unwise. Defense contracts were
lucrative, but not sufficient to overcome
losses in other areas. When sales softened
for the 1956 model year, Packard reached
its final portal. A management agreement
was struck with Curtiss-Wright of aviation fame. Nance left. Venerable Packard production facilities, plus Proving
Grounds in and near Detroit, were closed,
little by little.
“When our zone office closed, we
had to do something with all the excess
Packard parts we held for use by dealers,”
Aller recalled. “We sent trucks filled with
parts down to the Mississippi River and
dumped them there. You could do that legally then. I just wonder if any of those
parts still exist…”
Aller then went to work for the Ford
Motor Co. He followed the steps of Nance,
who was brought over to be involved with
Edsel. In later years, he was switched to
Lincoln-Mercury and remained active in
visiting many dealerships in his St. Louis
Zone — some of which had been Packard
agencies.
With feelings of euphoria mixed with a
tinge of sadness and a dash of regret, Aller
drove one of his postwar Packards to Detroit for a 1982 reunion of sorts. It was The
Packard Club’s national meet with a tour
to the old factory. Aller led an impromptu
walking tour for a handful of fellow hobbyists. He pointed out the presidential office and other important sections, besides
the cavernous halls of the then-empty and
decaying factory.
But for him, the glory days were still
vivid. He enjoyed them for many more

In the late 1970s,
Aller made major
changes to his
schedule in order
to attend a Packard
dealer reunion in

years by being active nationally and locally in Packard-related clubs. Aller continued to bask in that light until recent
months, when health issues slowed him
down and drained his energy.
Aller is survived by his wife, Doris,
and three sons. A special service was held
for Aller at Kearney United Methodist
Church, May 9, in Kearney, Mo.

Market Shocked: Price of 14k Gold Plunges
A rough economy creates a terrific opportunity. Give her a boost with these stunning
14k Gold Stud Earrings, now at their lowest price ever!
R
ecord gold prices and a tough economy
have forced people to raid their jewelry
boxes and liquidate their most prized
treasures. And gold buyers have reaped a
fortune from those desperate for cash. That
doesn’t seem fair, so we’ve decided to help
end that trend. Stauer is here to help you
put your gold back where it belongs... on
your ears.
We’ve ignored the fact that gold recently
topped $900 an ounce and slashed the price of
our 14k Gold DiamondAura® Stud Earrings by
more than 50%. Everyone deserves a little
luxury in life, so we’ve made these classic,
twinkling beauties at their most affordable
price ever.
The new gold rush has started. By now
you’ve probably heard stories about a new
generation of prospectors headed west. At
Stauer, we’ll save you the trouble of hunting
high and low for your fortune. You can strike
it rich without donning hip waders and
panning in a mountain stream. The price on
our gold earrings has never been lower. You
can find plenty of similarly-designed 14K
gold stud earrings priced at nearly $200.
But at $59, we’ve given the gold standard an
extreme makeover!
Perfection from the laboratory. Our
DiamondAuras are an absolute marvel of
modern gemological science. We insisted
that our scientists reproduce the look of a
loupe-clean diamond in the laboratory, and

would not accept any result other than perfection. We won’t bore you with the details,
but we’ve invested close to $6 million in
developing DiamondAura®. After an incredibly
complex and expensive process, scientists finally created a clear marvel that is optically better
than the vast majority of mined diamonds.

scientific measurement terms, the color dispersion is actually
superior to a diamond. The transparent color
and clarity of DiamondAura emulate the most
perfect diamonds—D Flawless.
The brilliant cut maximizes the fire and
radiance of the stone so that the light disperses
into an exquisite rainbow.
Stauer’s rock solid guarantee. These
stunning DiamondAura Stud Earrings are
available in 1 and 2 ctw sizes. Each earring
features our solitaire cut DiamondAura set
in 14k white or yellow gold. Try the
DiamondAura Solitaire Stud Earrings for 30
days. If for any reason you are not satisfied
with your purchase, or you experience any
defects in your DiamondAura, simply return it
to us for a full refund of the purchase price.
You can’t go wrong with the timeless appeal of
classic solitaire studs. And with our gold price
looking more like silver, it’s the perfect time for
a gold rush of your own.

Public Sale of the newly found Lone Star Morgan
Silver Dollar Hoard. This hoard of ten 1,000-coin
bags of Morgan Silver Dollars—dating between 1879
and 1904—was accumulated by an old time Texas
silver dollar collector who traveled across the
southwest over many years searching for silver
dollars from estates and private sales. After his
untimely passing, GovMint.com negotiated the
liquidation of his hoard. Upon close examination,
every Silver Dollar in the Hoard was found to be in
premium quality, Brilliant Uncirculated condition
and over 100 years old.
TOP QUALITY AT 50% OFF!
Similar quality Morgan Silver Dollars are selling
elsewhere for $80 each, an appropriate price for
coins of this age and quality. But due to the
