Although the turnout was a bit less than everyone wished for, we had a great time. You’ve read how Tom Cox and I retrieved a 1940 Pontiac 29 series for Kurt Kelsey earlier in the year. We did a few small jobs and took it over to ETC member Andy Wise for some heaver jobs. Our goals for this phase were Safe and Reliable. Then, a week ago Kurt and Arliss flew to Baltimore, and the Kelseys and Landvoigts drove round trip to the Homecoming in the ’40. We had a great time and can say that we felt like we achieved both goals. We covered around 670 miles of all types of driving with no real incidents. The car was a real lady. But even more important, we had a great time together and with a number of friends we have made in the ETC and OPW. This is the reason I joined the ETC, to meet others who enjoy the older Pontiacs as Lois and I do. This is my definition of a club; folks of common interest sharing their experiences. The Early Times Chapter has just under 350 current members. Yet there are so many who we never see or hear from...other than to send in their renewal dues. Don’t misunderstand me, we really appreciate their membership. But they would get SO much more from the ETC if they would move their involvement from newsletter reader to participant in some way. If you are one of these folks, please consider joining us at one of our events. If your car is not ready yet roadworthy, come anyway. We will get you a ride in another member’s vintage Pontiac and get you enjoying these great cars. If you cannot figure out some piece of making your Pontiac a driver, please contact our editor, Jim Koenigsmark, or one of the area directors listed on page 2 of every newsletter, with a description of what has you stumped. You need not be a great writer. Just write out a few bullets describing your problem. Jim, or one of the others of us, will try to find the answers for you, plus we will write it up for the ETCetera. Looking for a particular part to get things going? Place a “wanted” ad in the newsletter. Someone may well be able to help. My goal is to change you from being a “newsletter subscriber” to being a “club member. Join the other club members. We’re having a great time! 2013 CALENDAR OF EVENTS July 9-13, 2013 August 2-4, 2013 September 4-8, 2013 September 23, 2013 October 8-12, 2013 POCI Co-Vention Dayton, Oh.

Arn 3 EDITORS PAGE ETC Hotel for POCI Co-Vention Once again, Lukey has been able to arrange for a block of 15 rooms for ETC members in Dayton. Enjoy the company of other ETC’ers there this July at the Hope Hotel. The hotel says that they are only 7 minutes from the Nutter Center. The ETC rate is $90.88/day for a room with one queen bed, fridge and microwave. When you call, ask to speak with Sue Edlen. While the hotel is holding our block till June 14th I would make reservations ASAP if you plan to attend. The hotel says that other hotels in the area are already filling and our block is limited. Each member will reserve their room with their own credit card. I’m sitting in a hotel room in Lexington Ky. trying to put together this issue of the ETCetera. Alice and I drove our ‘30 Model “A” 430 miles to Lexington for the MARC National Meet, left our “A” at a fellow club member’s home, rented a car and drove to Morristown NJ for the OPW Homecoming. Then we drove back to Ky. for the “A” meet. A lot to do in a little time, but John Armstrong works so hard to make the Homecomings great we didn’t want to miss it. The Homecoming was a great way for us to meet some of the east coast members. In May, Alice and I went to a local car show and swap meet. We saw some ETC era Pontiacs, and found a few parts. Editor Jim The Hope Hotel (937) 879-2696 - Ask for Sue Edlen While planning your schedule for POCI, set aside Thursday for the ETC dinner and meeting. The tentative plan is to leave the Nutter Center at 5:00 and drive to Young’s Dairy. Meeting to follow dinner. We will have more on the POCI Co-Vention in future issues, but get your room reservations now! Plan for the ETC meeting: Thursday, July 11th 2 PM to 3 PM ETCetera Editor Sitting in the grass CONTACT INFORMATION ETC Editor Jim Koenigsmark (708) 361-0306 Calls till 9:00 PM CST E-Mail, [email protected] All time sensitive material should be sent in as early as possible.

In May, Jim and I attended the Grand opening of the Model “A” Ford Museum on the grounds of the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan. We had fun dressing in era style. The weather was beautiful for the 431 mile round trip adventure in the old car. Where do you start when you want to put together an era outfit? You will need to decide if you are interested in original era clothing, reproduction clothing, or era-image outfits. At first glance the styles of 1928-1931 are similar through all four years. This holds true especially for the men’s fashions which didn’t change much through the four year period. Women’s fashions appear similar in that they all exhibit pleats, flounces, similar neckline styles and sleeve lengths either long-sleeved or sleeveless. However, there are distinct differences for each year, and based on your body shape, one particular “year” may suit your needs the best. The biggest difference in dresses from 1928-1931 was the moving waistline. In 1928 and 1929 the waist was at the widest part of the hipline. When the 1929 Fall/Winter catalogues came out, the waistline had moved to the top of the hips or a little bit above. Paris fashions of 1929 showed a natural waistline, but we were more conservative here in America and were about to enter the Depression. A Spring 1930 catalogue showed the new waistline halfway between the hipline and the natural waist. By the end of 1930 the natural waistline was shown. In 1931 the skirt of the dress was attached to the bodice at the natural waistline and belted. In 1928-1929 most hems were uneven, but in 1930-1931 the hemline was straight except for some evening wear. A good way to remember is, before the Depression the waistlines were and hems short and after the Depression the waistlines were higher and hems longer. Finding your vintage or vintage looking clothes can be done by shopping department stores, thrift shops, antique shops, E-bay, and vintage dealers on the web. Some helpful hints for trying clothes on or determining whether vintage garments fit comes from Christine de Socarras. The best way to find out if sleeves fit is to put your arms in the sleeves prior to trying on the complete garment. If your arm fits, then try on the dress. I am looking forward to seeing the ladies dressed in era at the POCI Convention. Alice 5 Cover Story OPW Homecoming By Jim Koenigsmark The 2013 OPW Homecoming was held in Morristown NJ. There were a number of ETC members in attendance. The weather was perfect, and everyone had a great time. We learned some new terms, such as “Jersey Jug Handle.” That is where you have to turn right to make a left turn. Unfortunately our GPS doesn’t know about this and kept getting me in the wrong lane. There were numerous tours that we went on, and a lot of time for socializing. We visited a number of garages and saw a lot of different makes of cars. It seems as most everyone has a Model “A” Ford or two. Our hosts in Morristown were Richard & Susan Seabury and they did a wonderful job. He was like the Energizer Bunny, he never stopped working. Harold and Jan Glatz Jean Ott and Alice Richard with his Franklin. He is working on a Model “A” chassis, has a Model “A” pick up and also a 1928 GMC truck. 1939 Pontiac owned by a local resident There were some local folks that heard about the Homecoming and came out to join us. I thin John was able to sign up a few new members. continued The Landvoigts and Kelseys 6 Member Feature 2013 Homecoming continued Restoration - Trunk lock By Bill Flitcraft Recently I had been asked by a fellow Pontiac enthusiast about removing the lock cylinder from the trunk handle. He was going to have it chromed and needed to remove all the parts before it could be done. Since I had a trunk handle on my car in the same situation as far as needing to be chromed I thought it would be a good thing to tackle. My guess is there are quite a few more trunk handles out there that need chroming but not have been done because they appear to be difficult to take apart. Armed with a shop manual, a Fisher Body catalog and a camera I decided to jump in. The car I am working is a 1948 Streamliner. My guess is this procedure will also be good for ‘42 through ‘48 Pontiacs. 1. remove the handle/lock from the trunk license plate holder by taking off the hex nut on the inside. This will allow you to pull the handle out. 2. Take note of the position of the key cylinder and the square locking pin in the end of the shaft When the mechanism is LOCKED the square pin is protruding down and the key slot has the round part facing upward. When the mechanism is UNLOCKED the square pin is protruding up and the round part of the key slot is facing down. Also, the key is unable to be pulled out of the cylinder when the handle is unlocked. This is normal. 3. At some point you are going to need to remove the tear drop shaped key cover so you might as well do it now and get it out of the way. 4. The cover is held on with a stud from the back side. There is a spring behind the head of the of the stud which gives the cover tension. You will need to grip the head of the stud as tightly as possible and turn it just like you were unscrewing a bolt. This stud is not threaded but does have spiral serrations around it so once you get it to start backing out it will come out fast. Once the stud is removed the spring and cover will come off. When it comes time to reassemble the cover, a drop of Lock-tite on the stud will help prevent it from coming loose. all you need to do is tap the stud back in. 5. You will need to take some steel wool to clean the shaft. You are trying to locate a small pin that goes through the shaft. 6. Once the pin is found you will need to use a very small punch to drive it out. 7. Now remove the snap ring on the outside of the lock cylinder where the key gets inserted. John Armstrong’s 1924 Oakland Larry Schall’s 1928 Oakland This is not where we stayed. We visited a Civil War reenactment. John Armstrong did a great job putting our 2013 Homecoming together. 7 Use a small screwdriver and lift it out. There is a spring on the inside pushing the cylinder out. when the snap ring is removed the cylinder will move out a bit. This will cause the square locking pin on the end of the shaft to fall out. DON”T LOOSE IT! Note the orientation of the square pin. The slot faces the handle end. 8. At this point the lock cylinder SHOULD pull out. You will need to insert the key. this allows a tab on the inside to be depressed and allows the middle of the cylinder to pull out from a sleeve. I found that by turning the key and gently but forcibly pulling on the cylinder it did come out. 9. Once the cylinder is out there is a spring inside that needs to be removed. 10 You should now be ready to take the pieces to the chrome shop. Only have them plate the areas that were originally plated, otherwise you may not be able to reassemble the handle. 11. Reassemble the lock/handle in reverse order When installing the small pin into the shaft make sure it is tight after you drive it into the shaft. You may need to “stake” it on the ends. It is also a good idea to lubricate the lock at this time with some graphite before putting it back together.

(http://www.orphancartour.org/) Saturday, 8 June this year, was another great tour. While severe storms the day before prevented ETC members Tom and Maryellen Meyers making a repeat drive down from New York with their beautiful ’52 wagon, Tom Cox, Lois and I waved the Early Times banner. This year’s tour started in Williamsport, MD, just south of Hagerstown, MD. It ran over 40 miles of rural roads in the area on the north side of the Potomac River and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. Cars were released one at a time starting a little after noon. 61 cars drove the event with 127 drivers and passengers. The field was divided and sent on two opposing routes to avoid crowds at the stops. In this year’s field were a very nice selection of marques including Hudson, Packard, Oldsmobile, Studebaker, Willys, Nash, Plymouth, DeSoto and others. The oldest participating vehicles were a 1927 Hupmobile and a 1927 Packard. The “Longest Distance Driven” was a DeLorean which drove 230 miles from the New York City suburbs. The only ETC Pontiac available to Tom and I was his ’41, which Lois and I drove. Tom drove his very clean survivor ’55 Plymouth Belvedere. This year’s event included a number of very interesting stops. Shortly into the tour each car swung in front of a large old colonial home for a photo, then back onto the route. The tour ended up back at the city park in Williamsport, MD, where we started, with the last car returning at 5:15 PM. There a dinner catered by a local restaurant was attended by 81 of the participants. This annual tour is sponsored by six “Orphan” car clubs (cars or trucks built by companies or company divisions who no longer produce vehicles). The ETC has been invited to join in and become a sponsor for future years. I will raise this at the business meeting in Red Wing. If you can fit this event onto your calendar for 2014, please do so. If you don’t have a car to drive, please contact me and we will put you into a car. You WILL have a good time.

In the last issue you saw the very tentative schedule and application for the 2013 Flathead Reunion this September in Red Wing, Minnesota. Jay and Mary Van Altvorst continue to devlop the schedule as the snow recedes and conditions allow. Here is the schedule as it stands. Please understand that this is something of a work in progress, so may be subject to adjustments. Stay tuned, mark your calendars, make your room reservations and send in your registrations. Wednesday : September 4th Meet & Greet held at the smokin’ Oak Rotisserie & Grill. Thursday: September 5th Tech Seminar; and Ladies Tour. Details to be announced. Thursday evening: September 5th. Jay and Mary have ben working on eating at the Falconer Vineyards, a nearby winery that also makes and serves their own wood fired pizza. We hope to have the 100 seat covered deck overlooking the vineyards. Details in future issues. Friday: September 6th Driving Tour. Details in future issues. Saturday: September 7th Show & Shine held at Bay Point Park, Red Wing. This beautiful park, located along the winding Mississippi River near downtown Red Wing, is the location for many of our community celebrations. Long time ETC members Kurt and Arliss Kelsey have offered to sponsor a hamburger picnic . Friends of Jay and Mary will do the cooking. Many of us have been buying parts from Kurt for years (see the back of any ETCetera) and they would like to do something for the club by saying thanks. This is looking to be yet another great Flathead. Be sure that you are there. Flathead Convoy Planning A convoy to Red Wing is being planned from the East and Mid-West. Rather than fight the holiday weekend traffic around Chicago, we are planning a convoy up into Michigan to take the historic lake ferry, the SS Badger, on Tuesday morning. The trip from Ludington, Michigan to Manitowoc, Wisconsin, takes 4 hours landing at noon. There are very good group rates for cars and passengers. We need a total of 15 persons (not cars) to get this rate, so please let us know if you are interested. In Wisconsin we plan to visit Gunner’s Great Garage in Iola. John Gunnell, owner, is a long time Pontiac enthusiast and former editor of Old Car Weekly. The next day we plan a stop at Wildwomen’s Vintage Clothing in Sparta, Wisconsin, before continuing on to Red Wing. Wildwomen’s is a very large vintage and vintage style clothing store spotted by Lukey. We will return from the Flathead dropping down west of Chicago, probably making a stop at the Pontiac Oakland Museum in Pontiac, Illinois. Yet again, we expect the convoy to be a major part of the fun.if you think you would be interested in joining the convoy, please contact me directly. We really need to get an idea of just how many folks to plan for and where they will join us. I will be calling motels in advance to negotiate for the best rates. Asking about a number of rooms gets more attention from managers than a single room request.
