WICHITA A’S MEETING
June 22, 2015
The May 22nd meeting of the Wichita A’s was called
to order by President Dennis Ellerman at 7:00 P. M. Guests,
Nick Spiser (gr andson of Charles and Joyce Guinty) and
Shorty Hayes were intr oduced. The minutes of the Apr il
meeting were approved as printed in the May/June newsletter.
A summary of the expenses for the month was given
by Rex Kraus, Treasurer. Our Sunshine Lady, Bonita Graham r epor ted that a long time member , Floyd Long had
passed away, Bob Bruce had his 4th set of Chemo treatments
and was doing fairly well and Dick Foote was having some
health issues.
Brenda Broadhead stated that ther e was no r eport from MARC & MAFCA but the refreshment schedule
for October and November needed one additional person for
each month.
Jim Nungesser was not pr esent so ther e was no
report from the Wichita Area Car Council.
Tom Ruggles r epor ted that the Sunflower Char ity Swap group had a few problems to be worked out regarding the February Swap Meet and he reminded members if
they had not signed up for this next year that it was not too
late to rent a booth that they had previously rented but should
be done by June 30th. It will be opened for anyone at that
time. Tom announced that he and Steve McLaughlin were
planning a Men’s Tour scheduled for western KS on Sept.
25th thru 27th. There will be more information at a later date.
Dennis announced that the club needed a volunteer to plan the annual Christmas Party and asked if there
was a person willing to plan this event.
Scott Guinty r eported that thr ee groups of members of our Wichita A’s traveled to St Joseph, MO. for the
Northwest Missouri Regional Meet. Everyone had a great
time and enjoyed the tours and especially the tour to the
Shatto Dairy Farm and to the Fair Grounds where some
buildings had been restored and antique equipment was on
display.
Dennis r epor ted on the Lobster and Lighthouse
MAFCA National driving tour. They drove approximately
4670 miles with stops at the Gilmore Museum and Owls
Head Transportation Museum. The only problem was that
Bob and Barb Phye had engine pr oblems, had to leave
their Model A, rent a car and return home and drove a modern car to tour with the group.
Jim Clark r epor ted on the All Wheels Day at
Lake Afton and stated it was a beautiful day for the event.
Dennis announced that the wedding r eception for Don
Waller and Donna Pearce would be Fr iday, J une 26th at
7:30 P. M. at 147 S. Hillside and everyone is invited.
Gary Hileman announced that we will gather for
the Derby 4th of July parade at 9:00 A. M. and after the parade we will have lunch together. Jim and Judy Sharp are
helping with the planning of this event.
Gil Adams explained about the Water ville tour to
be held August 14th thru 16th. It will be a full day with the
train ride, seeing the Ice Monument display, a round barn
still being used, the black squirrels and some museums. He
was so impressed with the flavors of milk at the Shatto Dairy
Farm and mentioned some of the flavors.
Dennis announced that ther e is Model A Scholar ship Funds and information is available.
A thank you note from the Carlton, KS community
was received and thanked the club for visiting.
Refreshments were served and furnished by Roy
Goats, Maria Hildibrand, Pat McHenry, Judy Sharp, and
Keri Unruh.
The program was arranged by Vice President Randy
Frazer and was a video entitled “Rebuilding a Model A
Water Pump”.
Meeting adjourned
The next meeting: July 27th 7:00 P. M.
Joanna Adams , Secr etar y
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Claudia and I enjoyed about ten year s involved
with the local Hot Air Balloon community. During those
years it was often heard from various pilots, “I’ve never
burned my balloon,….. yet”. I remembered this on the
fourth of July when after the parade and picnic I was headed
home and found myself in a convenience store parking lot
with a Model A that wouldn’t start. Gilbert and Joanna Adams stopped to help and Tom and Dawna Ruggles came
to my rescue also. Tom quickly diagnosed and replaced the
coil. I then headed for the barn, but not very quickly, as it
seems I had blown a head gasket and was running on only
two cylinders. We had driven to Bar Harbor, Maine and
back (4671 miles) without a serious problem and yet a week
later the 10 mile trip home from Derby proved to be too
much.
All this rambling is for you in the event you are on a
tour and suddenly several of the guys are gathered around
YOUR car. Perhaps, like the balloon pilots, you’ve not had
this experience,…..yet. When you do, take it in stride and
learn from the many Model A gurus we are lucky to have in
our club.
Denny Ellerman, Wichita A’s President

Note From The Editor
I feel like I have been on a whirlwind. We took 3 weeks to travel to the Lobster and Lighthouse tour in Main and
one week after arriving home from Maine, we were camping with family in Colorado for a week. We really had a great time
and glad when we arrived home. We are now looking forward to the trip to Loveland, CO next summer to attend the
MAFCA National Meet.
Thank you for all your help in getting all the information in the combined May-June newsletter. Your help has been
greatly appreciated.

“A's in N.W. MISSOURI 2015 REGIONAL
HOSTED BY
NW MISSOURI MODEL A CLUB
We had nine couples plus two singles depart
Wichita on June 7th for the jaunt across NE Kansas
to St Joseph, Mo. Four of us took a more northern
route and visited a farm near Onaga plus a car museum, in Wetmore. Our member Floyd Zwahl who
lives in Wetmore set up the Museum tour.. This
group stayed in Holton Sunday night and checked in
to the Holiday Inn, Meet Head Quarters in St Joseph
mid day Monday.
Another group took a more direct route and
checked into the Headquarters Hotel in St Joseph on
Sunday night. The Orr family, plus Don Waller left
Monday AM and drove all the way to St Joseph that
day. Many asked us about the Turnpike and the
answer is, no. None of us traveled on it. Kerry and
Wanda Steffens came fr om Edmond, Ok. but
didn't bring their Model A.
Our remote members, Clarence and Verla Howland fr om Empor ia, and Milt Hessefort fr om
Blue Springs, Mo. attended. Milt was in Charge of
the repair tent.
Also, Ron Kester and his daughter Jeanette from
Glade, Ks attended and set up a parts tent to sell
parts. It's our understanding that they ran out of
head gaskets right away.
The NW Missouri Club did a great job of
planning activities for the next 4 days:
Wichita A's members watching the Hubley Derby
Tuesday we went on a 130 mile round trip
to Conception Abbey north of St Joe. Established in
1873 this is one of the oldest operating monasteries
in the Midwest. Benedictine Monks gave us guided
tours and answered questions about their lives as
Monks and about the facilities. We ate lunch at
their cafeteria. On the way back to St Joe we
stopped at a Wind Farm Visitor Center for a break
and a close up view of the turbine blades.
Kerry Steffens talking with a Monk at
Conception Abbey
Wednesday we stayed in town for Men's
Seminars: Moto Meters and Automotive collectables. Ladies Seminar, Hat Decoration. Plus Ladies
Luncheon and Program as well as a Men's Luncheon
and Program. That evening was the Hubley Derby
Races. John Stone took 3rd place overall in this
event.
Thursday, we drove to the Shatto Dairy
farm near Osborne, Mo. This is a small family operated dairy that supplies Northwest Mo. with fresh,
hormone free milk in glass bottles. They also make
cheese products and ice cream. They milk over 400

2015 Regional Meet Continue:
Holstein cows, three times a day. With no
carousel this requires 47 employs. Also,
they offer milk in 10 different flavors.
Very interesting operation.
Next we went to Lathrop, Mo.
which is home of the Antique Car, Tractor
and Engine Club. Here we ate lunch and
toured the grounds where a lot of antique
engines and machines were on display and
many of them operating. This was also a
great venue.
Some of us left for home on early
Friday while others stayed for the Car
Games and banquet that evening. We
counted 27 members from the Wichita A's
in attendance.
Overall we would say that the NW
Missouri Club did a great job of planning
and holding their first regional meet. Plus,
they did an outstanding job with the tour
booklet, schedule, directions, maps & etc.

2015 MAFCA NATIONAL TOUR
LOBSTER AND LIGHT HOUSE TOUR
There were 192 Registrations with 165 Model A’s attending the tour. The longest distance
driven to attend the tour were the folks from California. Ellerman’s total mileage driven from and
to their front door was 4671.
The Ellermans, Phyes and Kibbes left on May 30th and returned 3 weeks later. Phyes developed an engine problem in Bloomington, IL on the second day of the trip. They left their Model
A there, drove home in a rental car, and joined us at Niagara Falls with their VW.
Our first major stop was at the Gilmore Car Museum, which is the home of the Model A Ford
Museum, in Hickory Corners, MI. MAFFI did an outstanding job of presenting the years of the
Model A Ford in the museum. We took advantage of a photo opportunity and parked our Model A’s
in front of the museum for pictures.
We drove into Canada and stayed two nights at Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. My Fitbit
registered 19,927 steps on the 4th of June at Niagara Falls. The steps were equivalent to 8.19 miles
and 24 flights of stairs. To see the falls you had to walk down a very steep hill that was approximately 2 blocks long. Going down was not bad. Coming up was another story….. I looked forward to
getting back in the Model A the next day.
Maine is a beautiful state. People asked me what I enjoyed the most about Maine. My answer was the ocean. I’m fascinated with observing the waves hitting the rocks and the 9 foot tides.
There were plenty of activities we did while in Maine. We ate plenty of lobster, visited the
Seashore Trolley Museum, took pictures of President Bush’s summer home from across the water,
we had boat and trolley tours in Portland, toured Boothbay Railway Museum and Owls Head Transportation Museum, visited several light houses, drove through Acadia National Park and drove up
Cadillac Mountain on Mount Desert Island. We stayed two nights in Bar Harbor and then made the
long journey home. On the way home we managed to drive through 6 states in one day. The states
were PA, NJ, DE MD, VA and WV.
We drove through 2 countries and 20 states in 21 days. Richard and I are happy to report we
have driven our Model A in 43 of the lower 48 states. LMK

FLOYD LONG PASSES
Floyd Long, 84, passed away on J une 15th after several years of failing
health. Floyd and Sarah were active in our club for many years and we would like to
mention one of their contributions to the club. As the Swap Meet progressed it was
decided that we should lay out the dirt floor areas to accommodate more swap spaces.
We had previously used that space to exhibit cars for sale but the meet was growing
and we needed to accommodate more parts vendors. Floyd purchased a lime machine from one of the school districts, purchased bags of lime and figured the layout
dimensions. He then directed members on the proper layout. Floyd stored the lime
dispenser and purchased the bags of lime for many years. Their contribution was
very much needed and appreciated.
The family put out a request for several people to drive their Model A's to the
funeral service, at the Pleasant View Baptist Church in Derby. At least 6 of us
drove our cars and followed behind the hearse to the cemetery. Our condolence to
Sarah and the family.

Emergency Brakes
Two production changes were made to the Model A emergency brake system in August 1930, as explained in the
copies of the bulletins included here:
Fig #1
1. Lugs were added to the emergency
brake carrier plates so the band could
not jump off and lock up the wheel.
We had this happen many years ago
on a club tour. The driver crossed a
rough railroad crossing and the left
rear wheel locked up, bringing the car
to a screeching halt. We could not
remove the drum so the car had to be
hauled in, on a trailer. When the
drum was finally pried off we found
that the emergency brake band had
jumped off the carrier and was turned
into an object that resembled a pretzel.
When this production change
was made in August 1930, almost 4
million Model A’s had been produced, consequently, most of the carrier plates now found at swap meets
are the early “no lug” style. I have
converted some early style plates by
welding on lugs and finishing the profile with a die grinder, but it’s not a quick
and easy job. Roger Graham.
Fig # 2
2. The second change included a revised sector and pawl on the emergency
brake lever. (Not applicable to the early models that had a LH emergency
brake handle or the one mounted in front of the shift lever.) The teeth on the
sector were increased from 4 to 5 and the pawl had a sharper point. If you ever
felt like you needed one more “click” on the handle to get the emergency
brakes to hold tight, then you probably have the older style. Here again almost
4 million cars were made before this revision was made so there are lots of early ones still in use. You can buy the updated sector and pawl from most Model
A parts dealer.
The Wichita A’s meet on the 4th Monday of the month with exception to the month of May and December. Due to Memorial Day Weekend in May, the meeting is held on the 3rd Monday of the month. We do not hold a meeting during the
month of December. Other meeting changes will be published in the newsletter prior to the scheduled meeting. The meetings are held at Minisa Park, 704 W. 13th, Wichita, KS. Meeting time is 7:00 PM.
