What is happening in your province to take away your right to drive an old car?
Nova Scotia is undergoing a major motor vehicle legislation re-write. There
has been a great deal of input from the NAACC thanks to NS Director, Conrad
LeLievre. It is very important to protect the interests of the collector car hobby from
well-meaning legislators who often do not fully understand the ramifications of the
various ‘Bills’ they propose. They often overlook the hundreds of thousands of dollars the collector car community puts back into each Provincial economy. They forget about the many jobs and cottage industries the hobby has developed. They
also lose sight of the ‘verified’ fact that most collector vehicles are driven less than
five hundred miles in a given year. A typical example of legislative misunderstanding was Bill 241 which wanted to remove all pre 1978 and older vehicles from the
public highways. The suggestion was that these vehicles were gross polluters. Of
course these same legislators were unaware that the very same vehicles they
were trying to take off the highways had passed air care tests with flying colors.
The NAACC spent thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours working with others
clubs and associations i.e. the SVA-O to make this Bill disappear.
The NAACC is a federally registered ‘not for profit’ Corporation that was
established over 40 years ago. Its initial purpose was to unite Canadian hobbyists
from coast to coast. It connected individuals and clubs with common interests.
Looking back at the founders and promoters of the NAACC one must say ‘thank
you’ for their foresight and vision. In those early days there was no one trying to
disband the hobby and take away YOUR right to own and drive a collector car. In
those days the common bond was celebrating the automobile and its historical significance.
Some car clubs or car club members say that our $5.00 per member dues
structure is too expensive. They often ask, what do I receive for my $5.00 per year
and ask the question, is my money being well spent? You should know that the
NAACC Board members located in every Province in Canada work for you
and the hobby for free. No one gets paid. The next time someone in your club
says the NAACC dues are too high ask them to compare the cost to a cup of coffee and a doughnut at Tim Horton’s or an Egg McMuffin and coffee at McDonalds.
Clubs often forget that the dues they pay in a large lump sum are derived from individual members at a very small cost per member.
The NAACC has a significant array of professional help serving you and the
best interests of the hobby. Our Board is comprised of doctors, truck drivers, lawyers, engineers, school teachers, mechanics, farmers and various
tradesman all working at no cost to you. The next time you call a plumber or
seek the advice of a lawyer please think of the NAACC and the terrific bargain you
are getting for just $5.00 per member per year.
In closing, on behalf of the Board of Directors, I thank you for your continued support. If your club is not a member please call up www.naacc.ca and join to
today.
Happy Motoring,
John Carlson

AKA “ The National”
NAACC Report # 93
Importing a Vehicle to Canada….01/18/2016
Information supplied by the (NAACC) National Association of Automobile Clubs of Canada
As of October 2014 the US Government brought in new regulations for bringing a car, truck, lawn tractor, tractor or any other motorized vehicle across the Border into Canada if it has been purchased in the USA.
In the past you took your information to the US border and they would check to see if the vehicle was stolen etc. and also do what
was required to do the transfer directly from their files. This procedure had a 72 hour waiting period before bringing the unit across
legally.
The system has now been changed. You must now go to a ‘Broker’ first rather than to Customs initially. The Broker will then
do the search and acquire an ITN # to give to the USA border. This procedure still takes the original 72 hour waiting period.
There is a fine for going to the US border before the time period is up plus if you try to go through without going to the broker first,
again-- you can be fined. To find out which brokers are available go to Automated Export System (AES).
The information that the Broker requires is as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Copy of bill of sale
Copy of the title (must have original title to cross border)
Seller/buyer address, name, phone number
Port of crossing
The usual taxes will apply at the Canadian border as in the past. Do not register your purchase in the US since this will complicate
the situation.
What is an ITN/AES number? And why do you need one?
The Automated Export system (AES) is a system used to declare International Exports valued over $2,500.00 USD to the United
States Census Bureau.
In effect since April 5th, 2014, the US Census Bureau mandated filling of export information for self-propelled vehicles prior to
export, regardless of its monetary value.
In order to legally exit the US Border for export to Canada, proof of ownership of the vehicle (title) as well as export documents
with a valid ITN/AES number must be received at the point of crossing 72 hours prior.
Note: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) considers a vehicle to be “used” if the legal title of the vehicle is transferred by the
manufacturer, distributor or dealership to the purchaser of the vehicle.

Ok… So what are you required to do?
U.S. Citizens, U.S. Residents or U.S. Companies
If you are a U.S. resident or U.S. company exporting a used self-propelled vehicle to Canada, you have TWO filing options:
Option 1*
1.
2.
3.
4.
Obtain an Employee Identification Number (EIN) or DUNS number
Register for AES Direct (if you do not have your own AES software)
File export information on your vehicle
Receive your Internal Transaction Number (ITN)
Option 2*
1. Obtain an Employee Identification Number (EIN) or DUNS number
2. Select and authorize a U.S. agent (i.e. Freight Forwarder, Broker, etc.) to file export information to the AES on your behalf
3. Obtain the ITN from the authorized agent
*For vehicle shipments, be sure to submit your export information to the AES and provide CBP with your ITN 72 hours prior to export.
Non U.S. Residents or Foreign Companies –ONLY –i.e. You are a Canadian resident importing to Canada
Foreign persons visiting the U.S. cannot register to file through AES directly. Therefore, non-U.S. residents must:
1. Select and authorize a U.S. agent (i.e. Freight Forwarder, Broker, etc.) to file export information to the AES on their behalf.
2. Provide the U.S. agent with your foreign passport number (instead of an EIN) and other mandatory data elements
3. Obtain the ITN number from the authorized agent.
To find a U.S. agent or freight forwarder, simply use an internet search engine to locate one. Many NAACC members use A.N Deringer.
Deringer’s account representatives can be reached at (888) 612-6239, or call your local BC Customer Service Center at (800) 448-8108
for information.
If you have questions regarding the new requirement, please contact the Regulations, Outreach, and Education Branch at 1-800-5490595,
option #3 or e-mail [email protected].

CANADA’S FIRST AUTOMOBILE
2016--150th Anniversary
by Rudy Croken President-PEI Antique Car Club (PEIACC)
Prince Edward Island has a long and an important place in the history of the automobile in Canada. No
history of the automobile in Prince Edward Island or Canada would be complete without an examination of the
life of Georges-Antoine Belcourt (April 22, 1803-May 31, 1874). His contributions as a missionary are spectacular in the areas of present day Manitoba, North Dakota and Prince Edward Island but his place in Canadian automobile history is also significant as he was the first Canadian to own an automobile. At a time when the National
Association of Automobile Clubs of Canada are putting such emphasis on automobile heritage it is only fitting to
celebrate the man and the place where it all started 150 years ago.
There are many inaccurate reports in print and on the web which seem to be the result of poor or no research. The following information is based on newspaper articles of the day, signed affidavits and some generally
accepted local lore in the Rustico community and I will identify it as such.
The story of Georges Antoine Belcourt starts in Baie-du Febvre, Quebec, where he was born on April 22, 1803,
the oldest of 11 children. He went on to become a Jesuit priest and missionary. In 1859 he was assigned to the
parish of Rustico, Prince Edward Island, arriving on November 1, 1859. 1 Except for a short time in the fall of
1865, Belcourt served the Island parish for a decade from 1859 to 1869. Although not documented some people
believe the time he was away in 1865 is when he made arrangements to buy the steam vehicle. Thinking a horseless carriage would benefit his people he purchased the automobile in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA …. He
became the first Canadian to import a car into Canada. 2
There are several versions as to the origin of the Belcourt’s steam car but there is evidence to show it was the machine designed by Elijah Ware of Bayonne, N. J. which was described in a New York science journal dated 19,
January, 1867. According to the 1867 account the Ware machine was designed ‘for running on common roads, or
on ice’ and could be adapted ‘to driving thrashing or other machinery, pumping from wells, watering gardens and
many other purposes.’ 3 A later account of Ware’s machine, published in Chicago in 1913, says that Ware sold
his machine to “a clergyman down on Prince Edward Island for $300 and it was used for some years…” 4
Another piece of evidence as to the existence of the vehicle and that Father Belcourt was seen driving it
was produced in 1940 when Jerry Peters of Howland made an affidavit to the effect that he observed Father Belcourt driving his car. It reads as follows:
I, Jeremiah Peters, of Howlan, in Prince County make an oath and say: That I was born in Queens County, Prince
Edward Island on the 18th day of April 1855 as I was advised and verily believe. That I quite distinctly remember
seeing the steam carriage operated by Father Belcourt. This would be about the year 1866. The carriage appeared
to be an ordinary driving carriage propelled or powered with a small steam engine as a source of motive power.
Sworn to before me at O'Leary in Prince County, Prince Edward Island, this 31st day of Aug. Jerry Peters
signature) 1940 Arthur J Matheson (signature) J.P. for Prince County.” 5
Further evidence as to the existence of Belcourt’s automobile is supported by the following report in the December 19, 1866 edition of the Charlottetown Herald, which Durnford and Baechiler say “took only casual note of
this historic event” 6. It described the historical event as follows: A CURIOSITY.--"A single seated steam
waggon passed through the city this week on its way to the owner, the Reverend Mr. Belcourt, Rustico. When we
saw it, the waggon was drawn by horses, but it is furnished with a steam engine, & c, and can be propelled by
steam. It is the first vehicle of the kind introduced into this island."-Pat. 7 When the vehicle arrived by sailing
ship in Charlottetown “two teams of horses, took turns hauling it

Volume 2, Issue 1

Page 6
from Charlottetown to Rustico because no one knew how to operate it. 8 Local community lore gives Moses
Gallant of Oyster Bed Bridge credit for hauling the steam vehicle to Rustico; “the late Moses Gallant of Oyster
Bed Bridge, with a team of horses took the wagon to Rustico.” 9
According to community lore Belcourt became the first Canadian motorist when he reportedly drove
the car in the Sainte Jean de Baptiste Day celebrations on June 24, 1867. No newspaper reports documenting
this event have been found but there are several versions of Belcourt’s first trial run of the vehicle. One account of the trial trip states “The trial trip, awaited with mingled interest and anxiety, was made on the occasion of a tea party held on the church grounds on June 24, 1867, patronized by more than nine hundred persons….The pastor mounted the seat, the levers were adjusted, the valves opened, and the horseless carriage
was on its way. … all went well for a time and hopes of success ran high, but alas! The steam propelled carriage got out of control, left the road, plunged into a fence and halted… .” 10
There is no documented date for the accident but the report of the accident is so imbedded in the lore of
the community and in several publications, although without references, I do not doubt that he did have an accident, but when it happened is the question; probably as community lore suggests, on its trial run in 1867.
There are also two undocumented reports on the final resting place for Belcourt’s car. One suggests that it was
sold to a friend, Charles Gregor of New Glasgow, who found use for the engine in his carriage shop. Others
say it was substituted for the windmill in threshing and sawing. 11 Another accounts suggests the car was reportedly dismantled and the power plant was taken to Pictou, Nova Scotia, to be used in a tug but was too
small and ended up in a threshing machine and later scrapped. 12
While there may be some elements of truth in both reports neither is totally accurate as there is evidence the vehicle was used beyond its initial trial and therefore was not wrecked, junked or sold in 1867.
While there is little to be found on the car over the next year or so, there is proof of its further use. On Monday
June 21, 1869, a notice in The Examiner advertised a Tea Party put on by the Catholic Institute on the church
grounds on June 24th, to realize money in aid of the Catholic Institute Hall. As part of the notice it stated “…
The new Steam Carriage will be run through the settlement during the day for the amusement of the visitors.”
13
As a follow-up to this notice in the July 5, 1869 edition of the Charlottetown Examiner an article reports “The Annual Social Gathering of the members of the Catholic Institute of Rustico took place on the 24 th
of June, as announced.” It further states that, “From 800 to 900 persons partook”, and … "In the afternoon, a
steam carriage was put in motion and with great wonder and delight was observed steaming away for half a
mile on the road and back again, at a fast rate of speed, after which the meeting dispersed in good order, all
appearing well pleased with the day's proceedings …" 14
Further evidence of its use in 1869 can be found in an article in the New Brunswick French language
newspaper the Moniteur Acadian of July 9, 1869 where a correspondent describes attending the Sainte Jean de
Baptiste celebrations in Rustico. Translated into English it states the feast was celebrated with great magnificence… and after the blessing the crowd proceeded to tables that were caving in from the weight of exquisitely
prepared dishes …. Further it states, but what added a lot to the amusement of the gathering was a steam engine (vehicle) that our good parish priest had started and did a promenade around the site. The article stated
that for the Editor who sees everyday the engines of railroad trains it would not seem strange but for those that
saw it today, it was a welcomed novelty. 15
While the date that Father Belcourt parted with the vehicle is not documented; research from 1869 does
show that “during the summer his health began to decline perceptibly, and he decided to retire... and …
“Shortly after mid-September Father Belcourt left Rustico.” 16

In BC not much has reached my ears in the way of Car Club activities. We all are waiting for spring
which will soon be here. The South Okanagan chapter of Vintage Car Club of Canada met for a lunch buffet
Sunday Jan 24 in beautiful Osoyoos, BC. About 65 members showed up and a good time was had by all. On a
personal note, I located a place that specializes in the repair of 1957 Buick speedometers and clocks. As neither were working, I shipped mine off to Alan Kriss of Middlebury Center, PA. 570 376 3952. They have
been repaired and are on there way back. The charges seemed reasonable at US 190. for the speedo and US
78. for the clock. Nice to have them working and will add value to the car when the time comes to sell. Also
located a company that repairs old tube type radios. They are located in Mission, BC. Anyone interested
can contact me for further details.

Morley McDonald,

“The Drive Home”
Three of ACM’s cars, a 1957 Chevrolet Nomad, a 1961 Chrysler 300G and a 1966 Ford
Mustang, trekked from ACM to the place of their automaker’s origin, Detroit, Michigan, this
winter. Iconic American auto technology took on snow and ice for an 13-day transcontinental
odyssey, December 27 – January 8.
The Drive Home consisted of a 2,900 mile journey with stops along the way for enthusiast “rallies” in various cities and concluded with the opening of the North American International Auto Show.

Greetings from British Columbia — John Carlson
Anticipated Motor Vehicle changes for Collector Cars in 2016: This year we are anticipating a major
change in Collector Vehicle legislation. The BC Department of Motor Vehicles has four different license
plates.
The normal plate for every day driving.
The Vintage plate for vehicles 30 years old or older. (very restricted & inexpensive)
Two Collector vehicle plates. One for Stock vehicles & one for Modified vehicles
The Vintage plate is very restrictive and can be used only for club or collector vehicle activities. In other
words, you cannot take the vehicle to the grocery store. We anticipate no changes to the Vintage
plate.
The two collector plates are divided into Modified and Stock categories. The timeframes for both plates
are very different.
Modified plates are for vehicles to 1958. 1959 and newer vehicles are not eligible.
The Stock collector plate is for vehicles that are 25 years old and older. It is far less restrictive than a
Vintage plate and the vehicle can be used for anything except being driven to and from work or school.
The changes that are expected will be expanding the year of the Modified plate from 1958 to 1974. An anticipated change will be an inclusion of a ‘fair weather clause’ for fenderless vehicles. Currently the only Province
in Canada that has a fenderless exemption is SK. It is anticipated that Hot Rods with composite bodies or aftermarket steel bodies will be eligible for Modified Collector plates. Currently they are only eligible for a regular
plate.
Vehicles with Collector plates pay a premium that is nearly half of what a regular plate is. There are requirements in order to be eligible for a Collector plated vehicle. One requirement is that the owner must also have
a regular plated vehicle insured.
British Columbia has been very fortunate over the years to have been working with (ICBC) the Insurance Corporation of BC. The collector car hobby has the NAACC, Collector Car Club Council and the SVABC working
with the government to insure that the needs of the hobby are looked after. These groups and the government
have a strong mutual respect for each other and work well together.
***THREE HIGHLIGHTED BC ACTIVITES***
2016 Activities in BC include the Coastal Swap Meet | annual Vintage / Hot Rod swap meet, http://
coastalswapmeet.com May 27th - 28th, 2016. Friday 2:00 PM to 9:00 PM Saturday 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Pacific Northwest Deuce Day July 21-24th www.northwestdeuceday.com
This will be a gathering of at least 1200 plus collector vehicles with an emphasis on 1932 Fords. Over 500
32’s are expected. The show takes place in downtown Victoria BC on the Parliament building grounds. This
show happens every three or four years. Over 300 vehicles will arrive from California and many vehicles will
be driving from as far as Ontario Canada. It has been rumored that this may be the last Deuce Days event.
Allan Clark is the show chairman.
Crescent Beach Concours d’Elegance. Saturday September 3rd . This is the finest western Canadian
Concours. It takes place in Crescent Beach BC located on the oceanfront at Blackie Spit. Call up
