Belltown Antique Car Club - P.O. Box 211, East Hampton, CT 06424September, 2017NEXT MEETINGWednesday, September 6, 2017 at the East Hampton Library, beginning withour semi-annual Pot Luck Supper at 6:30 p.m.On the Agenda: - Recapping our 51st Annual Vintage Motorcar Meet- Activities to schedule: fall tour(s) and BACC’s annual holiday party- Preparations for the upcoming election of Club officers for 2018FUEL FOR THOUGHT“Look, two Studebakers! No, three of ’em, one after the other! How often do you see THAT?”- An unidentified onlooker remarking to his companion as they watched a pair ofcolorful Studebaker Larks, followed by a black 1962 GT Hawk, exit the show fieldat the conclusion of our 51st Belltown Vintage Motorcar Meet on August 6th.CLUB NOTESOur 51st Annual Vintage Motorcar Meet took place on Sunday, August 6th in weather conditions that, if a bitbreezy for hanging onto papers and keeping hat on head, could hardly have been better for a car show. On theother hand, our special monthly meeting on August 2nd was held in the open pavilion at the fairgrounds underwet and stormy conditions. Even so, we had a decent member turnout to discuss the upcoming show and takea refresher on show car judging (thanks to Polly Beckwith for handling that). In the absence of Jon Grant andKarl Helming, Peter Christianson ran the meeting and compiled a list of volunteers to serve as judging teamleaders for most of the classes.Poor weather continued on “set-up Saturday” during the morning, however, it ended early enough that the fieldconditions were quite acceptable for the show on Sunday. Nevertheless, it was decided not to push our luckand open the gate by the fire house to use for traffic to exit the fairgrounds, necessitating two-way traffic on thefairgrounds access road as has been the case in prior years. Not ideal, but workable.A strong turnout of show cars, at least 320, made for a nearly full field. That is just short of what we registeredat our milestone 50th event, which was considered a great success. This year we returned to charging 5 pershow car (all occupants included) and there were no objections. In fact, many entrants said they considered it abargain. A discussion of the show and lessons learned will take place at our next meeting.This year, our post-show BACC picnic was held on Saturday, August 12, at the home of Richard and PollyBeckwith in Haddam. Some 28 or so members and spouses attended, many arriving in one of their old cars.Much appreciation to the Beckwiths for hosting! [Regrettably, your editor was unable to attend this year dueto a family commitment. I was told later that no official Club business was discussed.]September’s Club meeting (Wednesday, September 6th) will include a pot luck supper starting at 6:30 p.m.,followed by the monthly business meeting. Call Polly Beckwith (860-345-4256) to let her know what you arebringing. Paper plates and eating utensils will be provided by the Club, as usual. If your dish requires servingutensils, please bring them and be sure to return home with them afterwards.

P. 4 of 8The Belltown BulletinSeptember, 2017THREE STORY GARAGEThe Bulletin interviewed Sally White of Thompson, Conn., the proud owner of a lovingly restored 1934Oldsmobile F34 Touring Sedan, winner of the President’s Trophy at our 51st Vintage Motorcar Meet.Story 1 - Sally, we hear that your 1934 Oldsmobile has a strong family connection. Sally White: I rememberplaying by this old sedan when I was a little girl. It was in a small enclosed garage attached to the barn on thefamily homestead and had belonged to my grandfather. My father had backed grandpa’s Oldsmobile into thatgarage after he passed away in 1948. There it sat undisturbed for 57 years, with the key still in the ignition.Story 2 - How did you become interested in getting it back on the road? SW: I grew up looking at this car,dreaming of one day restoring it. Twelve years ago I decided it was time to have it fully restored, so wepulled it out of its resting place. The tires were flat, but the inner tubes would still hold air, enabling the car tobe rolled onto a flat bed truck. It was a thrill to see it for the first time outside! I found my grandfather’swool overcoat still draped over the back of the front seat. We also discovered plenty of evidence that miceand chickens had been living in and around the car over the years. While I always loved the looks of this car,the big bucket headlights and all, I found out that 1934 was actually a very special year for Oldsmobile. Itwas the first year they had hydraulic brakes and independent front suspension. The ’34s didn’t share manyparts with the prior or subsequent models. Today you seldom see an Oldsmobile like this one.Story 3 - What can you tell us about the restoration? SW: It was just finished in July. It’s only been driven60 or 70 miles since. Our goal was to make it as authentic as possible and I am very pleased with the results.The beaver brown color is as close a match to the original finish as we could get. The six-cylinder engine wasrebuilt. The interior has been entirely redone, including the woodgraining, to duplicate the original materialsand colors as best we could. In memory of my grandfather and my father (who did not live to see it restored),I had their initials “E.L.W.” and “E.M.W.” painted on the front doors, just below the windows.Color photos below and at right by Dan David.

P. 6 of 8The Belltown BulletinSeptember, 2017THE SCOUTING REPORTUnmuffled Exhaust from the Editor“Be prepared!” is the well known motto of the Boy Scouts of America. Was it just me, or did some othermembers share my vague feeling of trepidation at the last Club meeting, the one we held just prior to our 51stAnnual Vintage Motorcar Meet? Was it the bad weather that we hoped would clear by the morning of theshow? Was it that nobody at the meeting knew the status of the show field layout? Was it the apparent shortage of volunteers who committed to judge all of the classes, let alone to do everything else on show day?Did we ever revisit and act on all the lessons learned from last year’s car show? Whether we did so or not, wenow have an opportunity to note the lessons from this year and strive to do better next time. I won’t even tryto enumerate them all here because that needs to be done as a group - and a.s.a.p. before they are forgotten.To get the ball rolling I will put one learning on the record now: Never try to erect a broken pop-up canopy,and if you do, do not expect it to stay up on a windy day for more than three minutes. We need at least twosturdy canopies for the show, one for registration and one for the trophy table (which lacked any cover). Let’searmark some funds in the treasury to buy new ones before show season next year.Although I was focused on the things I was doing and may not have had the best big-picture view, my generalobservation was that the volunteers on hand were spread a little too thin. It seems to me the Club has to do abetter job of up-front organizing and getting more members involved in putting on the show. A core group offolks shouldered multiple responsibilities during the course of the day, beyond what ought to be expected for afun event (even if they did so willingly). A point for further discussion.Even so, it was a great show overall and a worthy follow up to BACC’s milestone 50th. It’s fair to say that weheard many more compliments than complaints from entrants and spectators alike. Preparation issues aside,much of that success can be attributed to a more diligent adherence to the Cub Scout motto: “Do your best!”HOBBY HEADLINES & HISTORYIf you spend even a modest amount of time per month thumbing through the classified ads in Hemmings or Old CarsWeekly, or surfing the web looking for a modestly priced, driver-quality collector car to have fun with, you have surelycome across individual ads for cars from “Country Classic Cars” on Rte. 66 in Staunton, Ill. Unfortunately, on August8th the large pole building that served as their main indoor showroom suffered a five alarm fire. Initial reports indicatedthat up to 150 vehicles were seriously damaged or destroyed. [Ed. note - In June, 2004, I stopped there during a crosscountry road trip. It was fun to check out their inventory in person. I distinctly remember doing a walk-around andlooking at the cars in that building. I hope the business is able to recover and continue after this loss.]Roy Lunn, an Englishman with a long and influential engineering career in the American automobile industry, has diedat the age of 92. After serving in the RAF, Mr. Lunn began working in the British car industry as an engineer at ACCars and later Aston Martin and Jowett. He moved to Ford of Britain and then Dearborn where he led the developmentof the Ford GT40 Le Mans racing cars, among other notable advanced programs. After a stint at independent Detroitengineering firm Kar-Kraft (where he developed the Boss 429 Mustang forFord), Lunn joined AMC in 1971 as the technical director for Jeep. Therehe lead the development of the first generation Jeep Cherokee, which established the SUV market segment that has become so popular today. Lunnwas also involved in the creation of the all-wheel drive Eagle wagons thatextended the life cycle of the original AMC Hornet platform, helping keepAMC in business and inspiring a host of modern day Outbacks, All-Tracksand the like. His last assignment, for AM General, was to manage the Dept.of Defense compliance program for the Humvee. Roy Lunn was inductedinto the Automotive Hall of Fame in 2016. [Photo credit: Ford Motor Co.]
