MAFCA Ladies and Gentlemen, Children of all Ages: Please save the date and mark your calendars NOW for SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 2008. This is the date that has been set aside for the 2nd Annual Model A Day at Circus World Museum in Baraboo. Currently, all we have is the date set aside—no other details have been established for time, duration, free admission, etc. That will be forwarded to individual clubs as the time draws nearer. Editors, please pass this information on either via your newsletter or at your next regular club meeting. It would also be appreciated if you would promote this event starting in June (or so) of next year. It’s great advertising for individual clubs and a fantastic way to promote the Model A hobby in general. Those who went this year can attest to what a wonderful time it is to spend a day at the circus! Thanks in advance for your participation. Don’t forget your clown nose!

CONSIDER RUNNING FOR THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Elections in January Wheeling the “A”– November 2007, Page 6 What’s up on the web? Your web at www.model-a-wis.com. Is coming of age and becoming more useful for the club. Have you looked lately? Did you know that the current issue of “Wheeling the A” is available on your website for download in Technicolor if you prefer. This year’s past issues are available. The webmaster can post the members “for sale’ and “wanted” items on the website. If space is at a premium in “Wheeling the A”, you may find extras posted on the web. If you want a picture to accompany your web ad, forward one in the jpeg format to the webmaster. You can remain incognito if preferred by using a forwarding email address from the webmaster. If you have a personal email address and don’t want to publish it, let the webmaster know. He will assign a forward email address that appears in the ad as “[email protected]. Mail sent to the forwarding address will automatically be sent to your personal address without disclosing your personal address. Club information that is too late to be included in the newsletter is being posted on the web. Items of importance such as last minute changes of location or time will be posted. The new event calendar on the website will have all the scheduled events posted. Clicking on an event will give a brief description and time and other important information. Once the event has been clicked on, a window opens up with “more information”. Inside that is “map”, which will give you a map of the event location. A new service is available for those members who want to be notified/reminded of upcoming events. If you want to be notified via email, send a note to the webmaster with the email address where you want notifications sent. Notices will be emailed one week before and also 2 days before the event. These notices also request a response whether you will attend. It would help the hosts if you also include a comment concerning how many of your group will attend so proper arrangements can be made for refreshments, space etc. Check the web frequently for all the new “stuff” -Carl Doro [email protected] Wheeling the A Reminder: Keep in mind that when you host an event, articles about your event are due by the 15th of the month to the editor. An article prior to the event promoting it and an article after the event to recap how the event went. Pictures accompanying your article are welcomed. Thanks much!! Sue Quam Editor [email protected] OR [email protected] Wheeling the “A”– November 2007, Page 7 November Prez Notes Our club wouldn’t exist without the V-word – volunteers. Volunteers like Marty and Jo Lene Jannsen, who hosted a great fall tour last month despite the rainy weather, and Ron and Diane Smith, who pulled out all stops a few weeks ago to host the spookiest Ghost Gallop in recent memory. A dozen more club members have stepped forward in a quieter manner to fill our club’s volunteer positions, everything from club photographer to club tool keeper. These important volunteer positions are newsletter editor (Sue Quam), webmaster (Carl Doro), newsletter label preparation (Bob Sonnen), property keeper (Rich Miller), tool keeper (Bill Storey), paid newsletter advertising and member ads (Ed Schultz), newsletter distribution (Marilyn Brojanac and Lorraine Schultz), photographer (Barb Sonnen), video librarian (Dave Boucher), and club historians (Art and Sue Blazek). These jobs and the names, phone numbers, and email addresses of the volunteers are listed on page 2 of every issue of our club newsletter. Some of these positions have regular monthly duties, like newsletter editor, newsletter distribution, and club historians. Others have irregular duties, like tool keeper and librarian. But all of the positions are important to the well being of our club, so be sure to give these folks a big pat on the back the next time you see them. All of the volunteer positions are open to all members of the club. If you are interested in volunteering for one of the positions I’ve listed above, all you need to do is to contact me or one of the other board members. There is no time limit on each position; you can volunteer for as long as you see fit. My request last month for candidates for January’s board of directors election has produced at least one new candidate so far, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed. We have five positions to fill this time around, and without a strong nine-member board our club will struggle to keep its regular activities – indoor meets, outdoor meets, technical meets, and more – moving in the right direction. So please consider seeking a position on the board. Nominations are open through the end of the December indoor meet (our annual Christmas party) on Dec. 9. The election will be held at our Jan. 13 indoor meet (also the annual ice cream social). All indoor meets are 1:30 p.m. at St. Aloysius Church 1414 S. 93rd Street, West Allis. Our meeting room is around back in the lower level, use the parking lot off 92nd Street. – Neil Besougloff DID YOU KNOW………………………….. Abraham Lincoln issued a 'Thanksgiving Proclamation' on third October 1863 and officially set aside the last Thursday of November as the national day for Thanksgiving. Whereas earlier the presidents used to make an annual proclamation to specify the day when Thanksgiving was to be held. Then President Franklin D. Roosevelt restored Thursday before last of November as Thanksgiving Day in the year 1939. He did so to make the Christmas shopping season longer and thus stimulate the economy of the state. Later on Congress passed an official proclamation in 1941 and declared that now onwards Thanksgiving will be observed as a legal holiday on the fourth Thursday of NoWheeling the “A”– November 2007, Page 8 OUTDOOR MEETS: Rick Koepp. No report INDOOR MEETS: Chuck Morgan.

Wheeling the “A”– November 2007, Page 9 Reminiscing with the Historian FIFTY YEARS AGO, 1957 - The Mendota Autorama was attended by our club, with eleven cars. The show had a total of 332 cars. Nearly everyone at the meet was dressed in the fashions befitting the eras of their cars. FORTY-FIVE YEARS AGO, 1961 - On November 11th, there was a movie meet. Films of the 1962 Indianapolis 500-mile race and a bit of old car history were shown. FORTY YEARS AGO, 1967 - There was no information for November, so I will fill in with something of interest. Motor vehicles were first required to be registered in 1905. The fee at that time was $2.00 for the life of the car. The owner was assigned a number and he made his own license plate. These usually consisted of an old board with numbers painted or nailed on, or leather or metal made the same way. This procedure was changed in 1909 when the fee went to $2.00 annually and the first plate was actually issued by the state. THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AGO, 1972 - Everyone was invited to Brojanac’s Avenue Brake Shop for a professional upholstery demonstration on the proper installation of a front seat cover. THIRTY YEARS AGO, 1977 - The first indoor meet of the season was held November 12th at Stanton’s Hall. About 100 people attended and were treated to a talk by Mr. Noel, who worked at the Ford factory during the Model A era. He gave a unique insight into the workings of Ford at the time. Thanks was given to Ernie Neuman for arranging it. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO, 1982 - The technical seminar was held at the Avenue Brake Shop. Craftsmen from White Post Restoration from White Post, Virginia, gave a talk on frame-up restoration. TWENTY YEARS AGO, 1987 - On November 14th, the first indoor meet of the season was held at St. Aloysius Church Hall. Over 50 families attended. A slide show put together by Gary Koser and Dennis Pierce of their trip to Australia was the theme. FIFTEEN YEARS AGO, 1992 - The indoor meeting for November offered an interesting film on the development of the Burma Shave campaign and other Ford films were shown. TEN YEARS AGO, 1997 - Shwabe’s Home Improvement was the site of the technical meeting, and Mike Brojanac presented his brake seminar. FIVE YEARS AGO, 2002 - The Veterans’ Day parade was a big success, due partially because of the great turnout from the Wisconsin Chapter Model “A” Ford Club. We had twenty cars participating in the parade. Art and Sue Blazek Wheeling the “A”– November 2007, Page 10 Looking in the Rearview Mirror Richfield Historical Society Thresheree The 9th annual Richfield Thresheree was held on the weekend of Sept. 15th & 16th . The weather was perfect and the best thing was that there were NO mosquitoes. All of the exhibitors were interesting, the log sawing, cedar shingle making, fur trapping, quilting, pie baking contest and many more. Of course we were part of the event with our shining Model A’s. We had a wonderful turnout with 31 people, 16 model A’s and I modern iron from our chapter. Members who participated were: Art & Sue Blazek Bob Davisson Jim Duncan Gene & Joan Engel Jerry & Mary Flynn Chris & Penny Gundrum & kids (2 cars) Marty & Jolene Jannsen Greg Jennik & Kay Wally & Sally Kaufman Richard Kunkel & Son Stan Larson Fred & Dolores Pernerstorfer Ed & Lorraine Schultz Grant Semrau Ron & Diane Smith Bob & Barb Sonnen We all look forward to next years Thresheree which will be held on Sept. 20 & 21st. Wheeling the “A”– November 2007, Page 11 Looking in the Rearview Mirror Mitchell Manor September 15th t was a beautiful sunny afternoon as the sounds of Big Band music from artists such as Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman filled the air. The residents of Mitchell Manor enjoyed the music as well as over seventy classic cars. This was the fourth annual show and thanks to some promotion we were able to double the amount of cars compared to last year. We had a total of eight Model-A's, some regulars from last year and a few new faces which is always encouraging. There was a nice variety of cars ranging from Model-T's to Muscle Cars and a Modified Race Car. Participants were given coupons for Food and Beverage of choice. (Hot Dogs, Chips, Soda & Cookies, etc.). Free Popcorn was also available to all. Mary Steinbrenner from Mitchell Manor organized the show, she was very appreciative of our participation and assured us she will invite us again next year. Trophies were awarded in three categories which the residents voted for. Unfortunately no Model-A's placed this year. It is always nice to see them pointing out cars they once owned and listening to there stories. Hopefully we will have another successful show next year and keep increasing the amount of cars. -Hosts: Mark Ackermann & Carl Doro Representing our club were: 1. Dave Huenick 1929 Sport Coupe 6.

Wheeling the “A”– November 2007, Page 12 Looking in the Rearview Mirror Lake Geneva Classic Car Rally Submitted by Jan Olsen The last weekend in September was just what the doctor ordered for the Lake Geneva Classic Car Rally at The Lodge at Geneva Ridge (formerly Interlaken Resort). We had a fantastic Wisconsin September weekend complete with warm weather AND sunshine to go for a fun ride in a Model A. We gathered at the Chalet at The Lodge at Lake Geneva Ridge before noon on Saturday to collect and get our poker envelopes together for Wisconsin Chapter members. Several members collected their envelopes and began their leisurely tour to various rally spots around Lake Geneva Saturday afternoon. Sunday was another ideal Wisconsin day to sit outside near Lake Como and enjoy the parade of classic vehicles past our vantage point. The viewing was doubly sweet as we listened to the Packers win over the Minnesota Vikings! (GO PACK!) At noon, the vintage aircraft began their fly-by. The first fly by was the “missing man formation” in honor of George Krieissl who passed away earlier this year. George and his wife Jan, along with their son Kurt, began the Lake Geneva Cancer Rally for Childhood Cancer as a way to honor their daughter. Several years ago, Dennis Haag won the best poker hand at the rally with his perfect hand of five aces. Last year, Dennis & Marjorie Pierce were among the top ten winning hands. This year Dori Burke traveled all the way from the east side of Lake Geneva to win the overall first place with a straight flush! We retired to our area after the rally prizes were given out at the Chalet where we drew for door prizes among the rest of our attendees. We appreciate Gary Schwabe providing a sufficient number of door prizes so everyone present at our finale received something. Plan to attend the Lake Geneva Classic Car Rally on your calendar for 2008 . . . You could be A rally winner too!! Wheeling the “A”– November 2007, Page 13 Looking in the Rearview Mirror Fall Tour, October 14, 2007 The rainy day didn't dampen our enthusiasm as 49 Model A-er's in 27 cars ventured on our fall tour! We took a route north through Rockfield, Myra, Boltonville and on to Beechwood where we stopped at the Cheese Factory which opened in 1933. Alice Krahn, the owner, was delighted to sell us all the cheese we wanted to buy! From there we headed to Dundee where we toured the 1855 restored Mill (John Ford gave a great history), walked by the Extreme Makeover Home and had a snack at the Hamburger Haus. The next stop was the Reuss Ice Age Center which was a treat to be in a nice warm building with great bathrooms for awhile! The last stop was our home in Sussex for refreshments and a tour of our many collections! The fall colors and the route were wonderful even though we didn't see the sun at all! Thanks again to everyone who joined us for the day! Marty & Jo Lene Jannsen The Dundee Mill Left: Down stairs in the mill, showing how it works. Right: Talk by John Ford , one of the Mill restorers as to the history of the Mill, and about the Extreme Home Makeover that came to town.

Wheeling the “A”– November 2007, Page 14 Looking in the Rearview Mirror The October 18th Technical Seminar on Roadside Repairs was a lot of fun, very informative and we had a great turnout of 38 members. Al Downs had a Model “A” engine on a test stand “sabotaged” by his partner, Tony Schwark.. Ed Schultz volunteered to get the engine started, and with suggestions from the group, figure out what was wrong and how to fix it. With Al’s help and his step-by-step check list, Ed used a test light to find a dirty battery terminal, a blown fuse and a bad wire in the distributor. The problems were corrected, the engine started and ran fine. The next demonstration was replacing a timing gear simulating a roadside breakdown. Roger Olson directed volunteers Jeff Bezotte, Bill Dickinson and Joe Schwark in the removal of a bad timing gear and the correct replacement of a new one. All these steps were documented in a Roadside Repair Booklet that Al Downs handed out to everyone who Attended. -Carrie Frank NEW MEMBERS Ronald & Jane Bezotte 2138 23rd Ave. Kenosha, WI 53140 phone...262-551-5438 car...1929 Roadster Donn Droegkamp 755 Harvey Ave. Brookfield, WI 53005 phone...262-691-2444 Rick & Marnell Felice 511 W.
