Inside the Cover - Family Heirlooms
By Budd Lacy
The antique car hobby has a wide variety of collections. Some people prefer
only Fords, some like European—but basically we're all in the same church, just
in different pews. As for me, I enjoy a
wide variety of antique cars, but the 2
that are special to me are my Packards.
So here we go... Hi!
My name is Budd and
I'm a caroholic, and
I've been one all my
life. When I was a
young kid I would
spend my summers
with my grandfather.
Some will say I was
his favorite grandson,
others will tell you I
was his only grandson. Both are true
(there is nothing wrong with winning by
default ). Anyway, my grandfather was a
member of the AACA since1962, so basically I was going to every car show
from Winchester to Macungie, Pa. Not
sure if he always enjoyed it, or just didn't
want to hire a babysitter - either way I
got to go.
The 1940 Packard that I now own was
purchased by Pop in 1963 for $25.00
from a lady’s basement in Baltimore. The
engine was stuck at the time, and he
brought the car home. Pop was a good
mechanic and freed up the engine, and
drove it on some club outings. Now Pop
was a very proud man, and the car was
not quite an antique at the time. He was
teased about driving a used car instead
2
of his antique one (Pop also had a 1929
Hudson at the time). So basically that
car sat in his garage for a few years.
Then in 1972 an opportunity came up to
buy the ‘48 Packard, so that let the ‘40
sit a little more - the ‘48 has a straight 8
with overdrive, while the ‘40 is just a 6
cylinder. Now the ‘40 was still used, just
not driven (Pop kept a blanket in the car
for his afternoon naps). When Pop
bought the car in 1963 it only had 23,000
miles on it. When he gave the car to the
family in 1987 it had just 27,000 miles on
it….so basically it had more dreams in it
than outings. Since I was spending my
summers with him, I could coax him into
getting the car out every once in a while.
I'm not sure if it was my good looks or
my ability to talk to people (I've had Cindie fooled for 15 years with one or the
other ); either way it was nice to get it out
every so often.
In 1987 when he decided to give it to the
family, we joined the Richmond Region.
So for the next 12 years that was our antique car. It was generally me and Dad
Inside the Cover (Continued)
going to the shows and day trips. I was
not nearly as active in the club back
then, because I've always said perfume
smells better than gasoline. The other
car that means the most to me is the
1948 Packard. Like I said previously, Pop
tle kid who'd ask a million questions.
That's just a little bit of history on some
of my collection. Now as for being a
“caroholic,” I'm not sure I can break this
habit (sorry Cindie because I would
never complain about your horses).
bought the car in 1972, and I purchased it
from his estate in 2007. Pop drove that car
more than any other— I'm not quite sure
what drew him to that car. For me I guess
it's the memories of going with him to a

show on Saturday mornings. Or it could
be the first time I drank a beer with Pop
before I was 21 (I can say that now because the statute of limitations has run
out on being grounded). It could be because I was named after him—I don't
know. I've kept the car exactly the same
as he had it— even his name badge is
still pinned on the sun visor. I guess
when I'm in that car I still feel like the lit-

President’s Message
Hello everyone,
Here we are in the dead of winter
in the midst of a big snow storm
as I write this. In just a few days it
will be time for some of us to
head off to Philadelphia for the
Annual Meeting of the AACA.
This is one of the antique automotive highlights of the year for me.
We always try to get our Richmond group together for a dinner
on the town on Thursday night;
plus there are some great little
restaurants within walking distances of the hotel. The only problem is, it is Philly and it is always cold and
most of the time there is snow on the ground, so we bundle up for the walk!
Heading
Friday night Debbie and I attend the Region’s President dinner before going to
the auction. Each year there is an auction held to benefit the AACA Library.
Members donate items of automotive interest that are auctioned off to the highest bidder; we have come away with some pretty interesting items in past years.
During the day on Friday and Saturday there are informative seminars that can
be attended. Actually this year Debbie and some other Richmond Region members will be presenting a seminar explaining the many ways of attracting attention and raising awareness for the local regions. We will also have an interactive
booth in the Trade Show both days advertising our Eastern Divisional Tour on
July 31 – August 3. Saturday afternoon is the General Meeting and then the
Awards Banquet is held Saturday night. I hope we have a nice representation
from the Richmond Region this year.

I want to take this opportunity to inform the club members that we have a new
Website and a new Webmaster. John Musgrove has agreed to create and maintain a new website for our club. Fred Fann has been our webmaster for the past
ten years and he has done a wonderful job, but Fred isn’t a member of our region
or of the AACA, so it is really good that we now have one of our own as our
webmaster. Thank you John!

In closing I want to say that we recently lost one of our long time faithful members, Tommy Cox passed away. Newer members never had a chance to meet this
very interesting man or his wife Madelyn. I joined this club some twenty years
ago. One of the first club outings that I remember attending was at the home of
the Cox’s, it was the last time the club visited their home. I’m glad I was there
that day. In an email to the members, Dayton wrote a very fitting tribute to Mr.
Cox, I hope you took the time to read it.

From the Editors
Happy New Year!
What did the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas have
in common with the Detroit Auto Show (besides both occurring
this month)? These events gave us a glimpse of how quickly advances in electronics are impacting the auto industry. We have
entered a new revolutionary era for automobiles. Computers are
being integrated into cars that not only tell us what’s wrong with
the engine, but can control speed, braking (it even knows when to
brake before a possible run-in with another car!), warns if you are
too close to an object and/or are lane drifting. The GPS aspects can give real-time travel directions, plus
advise on the closest gas station, restaurant or other places of interest. Some cars are capable of parallel
parking all by themselves. These advances are making our antique cars even more “antique”! All
the mechanical controls have to be guided by human hands (and feet) rather than pushing buttons or programming – and it takes physical strength (rather than computer knowledge) to turn a steering wheel and
to brake. Depending on the year and model of the antique, you may also need that strength to crank it
up in order for it to start... You can look at, study and admire all the mechanicals of an antique car,
know and understand how it works – and how to fix it. Modern cars and their computers, not so much.
It’s just the magic of a “black box”!
So, as we dive deeper into the new year, appreciate and enjoy all the technological advancements that
can make our lives easier (perhaps we won’t have to stop driving in our old age - the car will do it all by
itself). We can also savor the fun of fixing, maintaining and actually driving our antiques!

Great News!!!!
By Debbie Nolen
I am proud to announce that the Richmond Region Antique
Automobile Club of America (RRAACA) club is now considered an affiliate organization with Henrico Division of
Recreation, Parks and Facilities, thanks to our Director of
Recreation and Parks, Mr. Neil Luther. Based on our continued participation with Henrico County Recreation, Parks
and Facilities your volunteer efforts and contributions of
time and your antique vehicles both past and future have
been recognized. What this means to the club is, that moving forward; the yearly rental fees have been waived for the
use of Belmont Recreation Center and other County locations for the 2-3 social events charged for the use of our
facilities. These fees totaled $2210 in 2015 (10 monthly
meetings and 3 social functions: actual cost $3010 - $800
in returned security deposits) and $1570 in 2014 (10
monthly meetings and 1 social function: actual cost $1970 $400 in returned security deposits). This also includes the
use of the tent, tables and chairs for the annual car show.
What follows is the data and foundation that the approval
was based upon thanks to your efforts!
the summer.
Even more notably in 2015, 45 club members directly assisted with 6 automobile related Division programs through
many methods, including research, speaking, social media,
assembling other car owners and associated marquee clubs,
and many provided their personal classic cars (at some programs, up to 4 vehicles have been brought by a single individual!). Many more members brought vehicles on the day
of the event but were not counted in this statistical total.
Richmond Region’s membership and their efforts have provided at no cost to the county over 289 hours of volunteer
service, valued at amazing $7,052.00, based on the County
HR volunteer rate of $24.40 per hour. The rate is based on
the National Bureau of Statistics average wage for VA.
These programs and events could not have been offered
without the expertise and continuing generosity of each
individual within the Richmond Region AACA club. Individual program specifics follow in the following graph.
Secondary results from the Richmond Region and Henrico
Recreation and Parks’ association has resulted in national
exposure of the County by the RRAACA has resulted in
visitation from across the US through tours presented by
other national automotive clubs with Henrico County their
destination to tour our facilities, as evidenced by the September Vintage Chevrolet Club Tour of the Henrico Water
Reclamation Plant, Dorey Park, Dabbs House Museum and
the Tourist Information Center. In 2016, July 30-August 3,
Richmond Region AACA will host an AACA National Divisional Tour and highlights of that tour will include visitation at numerous county facilities including Meadow Farm
and Walkerton Tavern.
Founded in 1953, Richmond Region has 80 enthusiastic
members ranging in age from 10 to 90. Many have grown
up within the club and there are a high percentage of Henrico residents as well. Richmond Region AACA is a nationally recognized region of the AACA holding Virginia
non-profit status. Richmond Region meets monthly at Belmont Recreation Center and holds two to three other social
functions in county facilities throughout the year.
As a Recreation Manager and member of the AACA Board
of Directors, I would like to validate the substantive
amount of volunteer service that has been provided by the
Richmond Region active membership that shows their tremendous support of the County. Richmond Region club
members feel strongly about giving back to the community
and they have had a long term relationship over the years
with the Division. Antique and classic cars have been provided when requested for numerous program events such as
Therapeutic Recreation’s Sock Hop dance, the Senior Party
in the Park programs and special functions such as the
dedication and open house of Armour House and Gardens,
to name a few. Club members provide many services to the
County, most recently evidenced by Peter Francisco’s
Farmer’s market serving as a spectator viewing station for
the UCI Bike Races. Antique vehicles are provided at
Courtney Road Service Station every major special event at
Meadow Farm and in the community. For the 2016 Henrico
Teen Scene program, a series of mini-car presentations is in
the process of being planned for each location throughout
Planned for 2016:
April – Sunday Afternoon with the Classics: A Japanese

Beyond My First Car - (Part Two)
By Mike Harton
Not long after I got my first car, a 1960 Austin
Healey 3000, I happened to spot a really cool
old car in a really odd place: a '51 MG TD sitting in front of a country auto repair shop. I
inquired, and was told a college student was
driving it across country when it threw a rod.
He left the car and went on his way, telling the
mechanic to see what it would take to fix it.
When he was told a short block cost $500, plus
labor, the student said sell it! The mechanic
didn't know what to ask for it and told me to
make an offer.
The wooden body skeleton was another matter.
Pretty much shot, but not so much that dad
couldn't use the pieces as templates. My job
was to carefully extract them. His job was to
fashion a new frame pieces from white oak!
The MG was a fun car, and I got to where I
could replace the rear axle blind-folded (thanks
to a grabbing clutch). Finally, I just started
skipping first gear and starting in second.
Dad and I shared the MG, but he was always
looking for another challenge. Since he had
the major $$ invested in it, I could only protest
so much when he wanted to sell it in order to
buy an airplane. Wish I knew where the MG is
today!
The Healey had to go, too. After marriage,
Raylene needed a car to contribute to the car
pool of teachers commuting across town. Don't
know where it went either.
My dad was a machine nut. He managed the
When I called my dad and told him I needed
his help pulling this $175 purchase home he
thought I'd paid too much for a car that wasn't
running! Dad, whose first job was in a machine shop, quickly realized the block wasn't
damaged (the rod went through a water jacket),
and re-boring and a cylinder sleeve were a
quick fix.
automotive division at Sears, and when they
sold go-karts, he had a demonstrator with two
chainsaw engines which he and I both raced.
Sold lots of karts, because we won everything!
As I said, Dad was a machine nut (even after
he bought and operated a lumber company).
After dad passed it was my job to dispose of
two bulldozers, a backhoe/end loader, a tractor

one son, a Mustang for another, and a CJ 7
for yet another. Then there were the Fiat
124 Spider (great engine, but a rust
bucket), and a Miata. But mom gave me
dad's '31 Dodge Brothers, and '15 Model T,
which occupy me now. Reggie Nash
helped me get them running, and Morris
Cameron and Bob Richmon helped me put
a starter on the T (well, actually I helped
them). Then there's the '70 VW Beetle, my
daily driver, that belonged to a family
friend who bought it new.

Jan. 16 - Fun Run to Appomattox Manor
By Budd Lacy
On January 16th, fifteen members plus one four
legged member met at the Science Museum, for
our 2016 January Fun Run. There was a little
concern about that day as it was supposed to rain
the night before, and into the next morning. After
several calls to Alice I said lets go for it, but I had
an alternate date in mind if needed. (As it turned
out we picked the right date - just wish I could
pick lottery numbers like that - because the next
day Old Man Winter decided to show up. My back
up date was for January 21st. Well, Old Man Winter and Mother Nature got together, and basically
said LET THE PARTY BEGIN with the blizzard of
2016.) Almost everyone arrived on time, with the
exception of Amy and Jimmy which isn't unusual.
I give them a hall pass on being late, because
they have to come from Jetersville. Everything in
Jetersville is a little slower (they don't get Monday
night football ‘till Thursday morning). Eventually
we were on the road, had a nice ride through the
city then down Rt. 5 over into Hopewell arriving at
City Point/Grant’s Headquarters. Now one of the
couples actually arrived before we did. They claim
they got separated in town. I think they were riding behind Tommy and Debbie, and his car was
probably smoking and leaking fluids (well that's
the story I'm telling—to quote Tony Smith, never
let the truth get in the way of a good story). At
Grant’s Headquarters we were treated
know Mat hasn't been around lately, because of
an unfortunate accident he suffered. I understand
that he is mending nicely now after a care package was sent (now to hear the Paul Harvey “rest
of the story,” just ask Bob Richmon). After the tour
the club has one more destination, and that was
lunch at the Dockside restaurant. With full bellies
everyone went back to their respective homes,
anxiously waiting for the next fun run.

One More Thing
This is the time of year when we all like to make predictions for the future. Reggie and Cindi
Nash have provided us with an original column from the December 1975 issue of Ladies
Home Journal. The column details the magazine’s predictions for the 20th Century, as it was
written in December 1900.
You may need to enlarge the page, or use a magnifying glass, but it’s worth it !!!
