PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
BY
BRYNE MCKAY
J
uly was a busy month with us going
to the Half Moon twice, once for our
monthly luncheon and again as the
Feature Club to celebrate their 76 th
Anniversary. We were fed and entertained
twice by senior centres. We were
scheduled to be the Feature Club at the
Pony Corral but that was rained out.
Hopefully it will be rescheduled for
September 21st. By the time you read this we will be well into
August and will have enjoyed the Planes Trains & Auto Tour
and another Half Moon luncheon. Later in the month is one of
our most popular events, the Corn Roast at the Mavins.
Remember to check the Side Mount ‘Upcoming Events’ and
watch out for emails from Paul Horch.
At our August 14th general meeting we will be joined by Gary
Glowa the Safety and Legislation chair and possibly other
executive members from MAAC. Gary will be attending to hear
any concerns we have, especially our concerns with pricing of
the Collector Plate insurance. Be sure to attend, it should be
very informative.
For several years we have been
trying to reduce our costs of
printing the newsletter by
encouraging members to switch to
email copy only. We have had
some success. Out of 185
members only 55 receive the hard
copy. Since the last increase in
postal rates it would be advantageous to further reduce the
number of hard copies. It costs $1.75 each to print and 1.80
each to mail. In a year that equals $42.60 per member. You
can see the $42.00 membership fee (hard copy) doesn’t even
cover the cost of the newsletter. Plus, approximately half are
mailed to Honorary Life members who have their membership
fee waived. If you receive a hard copy and have an email
address please consider switching to email only.
Whether you are reading this on your computer or on paper
enjoy this month’s newsletter. ☺
NEXT GENERAL MEETING • Thursday, Aug. 14 @ 7:00 p.m • Headingley Community Centre at 5353 Portage Ave.

MCAAC 7 ANNUAL
SHOW & SHINE
TH
WORDS BY PAUL HORCH
PHOTOS BY GEORGE PENNER
The 7th annual MCAAC Show and Shine was held Saturday,
June 7th at the Headingley Community Centre and Jim’s
Garages. The day was nice and sunny, but a bit cool, and very
windy. All in all, much better weather than we’ve had for a long
time. Cars started arriving and registering around 9 AM. We
had a very good turnout with 74 cars registered and another 25
to 30 not registered. We collected 195 pounds of non-perishable
food items for Winnipeg Harvest, an all-time best.
A highlight of the day was seeing Ed Turner who will be 100
years old in a few months. Ed was in good spirits and
enjoyed the day. Jim Pearn who is responsible for the museum
being built, also showed up for a while. I was fortunate to get
several pictures of Ed and Jim. For many years, Ed and Jim
were very active in club events and restoration of ancient
automobiles. It was great to see them together at the show.
As usual, we gave out die cast model cars as prizes in various
categories:
Best GM went to John Ewing for his metallic blue 1947 Buick
Roadmaster convertible. 1947 was a wonderful year...just ask
me why.
Close to 40 members showed up on a sunny spring day
Best Import went to Lawrence Vermeulen for his cute little
for lunch at the Half Moon on Easter Monday, April 21/14.
green 1953 Austin A40 Somerset Sedan
Wayne Hayes, Gary Hammond and Russell Manhard even
Best Antique went to Wally Hemming for his red 1931 Ford
brought out their club cars.
Model A Roadster
Best Ford went to John Lambrecht for his blue and
white 1955 Monarch Lucerne, a rare Canadian only model
John Lamprecht: Best Ford Award 1955 (Monarch Lucerne)
Best Truck went to A. Shimonek for his really yellow 1963
Studebaker Champ ½ ton truck. Very sharp.
John Ewing Best: GM Award

Best Mopar went to Henry Martens for his multicoloured 1959 Plymouth Fury
Many thanks to Wolf Fuhr for once again organizing this show,
and to everyone else who helped out with registration and
judging and anything else necessary. You know who you are.
Also thanks Rob Nowasad, and the Museum folks who
cooked the great hot dogs. Much appreciated.
Next year it would be great to see a lot more MCAAC club
cars at this event. We only had 30 club cars show up. There
are several hundred good restored cars in this club which are
very seldom seen. None of us are getting any younger. What

funeral service on July 3, 2104 at the Omega Funeral Home,
Portage la Prairie. At the request of the family, many of us
dressed with our club jackets. The Funeral Director also
requested me to park the Happy Days Desoto before the hearse
to commemorate George as a real “car guy”.
George’s last project was to restore a 1948 Bentley. We will
miss you, George, cruising with us on our future tours.

and for the last 7 years left virtually unattended on blocks in
sheltered storage. Mice had unfortunately been living in the
