BUSINESS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES: Club President Chris Chown discussed details of our new venue arrangement with our new venue at the Victoria at McKenzie. The cost is $25 per meeting and the price includes refreshments and baked goods. Chris wished to thank Gary Clarke for helping to make the arrangements. It was noted that the Century Toppers also meet at this venue. Our previous meeting venue at the Citadel Church was $42 per hour. Chris Chown reported that Al Wills has made significant progress with the updating our club’s bylaws. Al Wills further reported that there were some minor changes made to the document. Al suggested that we may wish to change our name on the document. Tony Cond pointed out that this may not be possible. The document was distributed by Chris Chown via email and hard copy at the meeting. Please review and forward suggested edits to Chris. Tony Cond reported that the new Camosun College Gift Agreement has been signed. This change switches our bursary to the newly created Early Ford V8 Club Award Program. Camosun will distribute $500 yearly (from existing funds) to a deserving Automotive Tech Student. Tony reported that Camosun College is very happy with the change. EFV8 will receive an invitation in May to present this year’s cheque. It was suggested that we could also bring along a couple of the member’s vehicles. CORRESPONDENCE. Chris Chown received a letter from the Salvation Army thanking the EFV8 club for the generous donation of $720.00. This is money raised from our Ford and Friends Show 2016 and donations made by members at the annual Christmas Party. The club received an email from BC Registries and Online Services confirming our Society registration. Jim Banks forwarded a letter outlining recent changes to the ICBC Collector Plate program. Full details are available on the ICBC website. The program now includes vehicles from 1974 and earlier. This is a change from the previous cut-off from 1958. TREASURERES REPORT. Treasurer Jim Jennings reported that all accounts are in a current position. Full financial details for any member are available upon request through the club executive. Page | 5 MARCH 2017 We will be publishing our new rooster within the next few weeks. If you haven’t paid your dues yet, please contact Jim to asap. Treasures report approved by Reg Ash, 2nd Mike Mortimer. Unanimous NEW BUSINESS. Chris Chown announced the formalization of Club history committee headed by Bob Mortimer. This initiative will help capture the EFV8 Club #109’s rich history which currently is scattered amongst the members. It was suggested that we try and digitize photos, memorabilia and other printed materials and post them on our website. Reg Ash mentioned that Jack Stidson has 3 albums and many boxes of club historical items in storage. The idea was welcomed by members in attendance. A few members shared some great memories ranging from the first Ford and Friends Car Show in 1980 to the time when Don “Big Daddy’ Garlits attended our event. If you have any items, please bring them forward to be digitized or better yet scan them yourself if you can and forward to Al Will and Chris Chown. Reg Ash reported the club has several odds and ends of club Regalia including hats and t-shirts. Chris Chown suggested we table Regalia for an upcoming meeting to discuss and make a formal decision as to our needs moving forward. COMMITTEE REPORTS / UPDATES. BC SOCIETES REGISTRATION / CONTSTITUTION BYLAWS. (See Business Arising) CHRISTMAS PARTY.

The show will be promoted at the upcoming Rock N’ Roll for Little Souls Show, May 26th – 29th at Pearkes Arena. Lauri mentioned that the Carson Auto Group now has an on-line application for sponsorship and the club will use this portal for our request. It is hoped by using this we will not run into delays collecting our sponsorship dollars. SHOP TOURS. Chris Chown reported on behalf of Gary Clark who was unavailable to attend as he was in Port Angeles to pick up his new car – 1953 Ford Crestline. The car was shipped from South Carolina. Chris also thanked Gary for his outstanding job he has been doing with the tours for the club! Page | 6 MARCH 2017 Chris reported that the club members in attendance at our February 18th shop tour of Dave Dyer’s shop and collection were truly amazed at what they saw. Dave was an excellent host and very welcoming. Dave will be thanked and receive a plaque from the club to show our appreciation of his hospitality. Our next shop tour is coming up mid-April at Sean Drivers shop in Sooke. Details to follow. A reminder that the Rock N’ Roll for Little Souls Show is set for May 26th – 29th at Pearkes Arena. We will need members to volunteer to man the table throughout the weekend. We will have a sign- up sheet at upcoming club meetings. In addition, Gary is organizing a Poker Run Saturday, May 13th which travels between retirement residences. Participants are also treated to lunch as part of the fun. You are encouraged to bring your classic vehicle, but you can participate using your daily driver. Please let Gary know if you are interested. EARLY FORD V8 #109 WEBSITE. Al Wills reported that our club website has had many items uploaded in the past month and encouraged all members to spend some time on the site. The member’s only area is fully functional and starting to be used by some members. Al has plans to start a “Member Rides” section on the website and would like all members to send a couple of photos of their vehicles and in particular a picture of you with your vehicle. Al reminded club members that he is the webmaster not web getter! Meaning if you have something you think we should include on the site, please send it to Al. Chris and Al also recognized Ben Pritchard (Bill’s son) for all the hard work he has provided over the years to developing and maintaining the website. HIGH SCHOOL AWARDS PROGRAM. Tony Cond reported that the High School Awards Program committee held its first meeting this past month.

  • 110 YEARS of AMERICAN STYLE: BUICK CELEBRATES ITS ANNIVERSARY with a DISPLAY at the AACA MUSEUM by Richard P
    110 YEARS OF AMERICAN STYLE: BUICK CELEBRATES ITS ANNIVERSARY WITH A DISPLAY AT THE AACA MUSEUM By Richard P. Sills Buick, one of the oldest surviving brands of American automobiles, celebrated its 110th anniversary on May 19, 2013. It is fitting that this milestone occasion is celebrated by a special display, "Beautiful Buicks: 110 Years of American Style", at the AACA Museum in Hershey, PA. The display coincides with Riviera's 50th anniversary, and the AACA Museum's 10th anniversary. Visitors to the museum are greeted by six Buicks in the lobby, representing the evolution of the marque from horseless carriage to modern high‐performance. On the turntables are a 1910 Buick Model 10 Surrey, owned by the Museum and "adopted" by the Mason‐Dixon Chapter of BCA, and a 1987 GNX loaned by Buick Heritage Alliance board member Guy Bennett of Wayland, New York. The GNX is #470 of just 547 produced, and has less than 600 miles since new. It still has the factory‐installed plastic covers on the seats and carpets. It was sold new by Mr. Bennett's dealership, which has been selling Buicks continuously since 1922. Four other Buicks in the lobby of the Museum represent outstanding examples of the marque as it appeared over the years: 1935 Model 96S Sport Coupe, one of 41 produced and believed to be the only known survivor. Resplendent in Ambassador Maroon with tan leather interior, this elegant coupe is equipped with side mounted tires with steel covers and a luggage rack. It is owned by the Bulgari Collection of Allentown, Pennsylvania, and was restored to participate in Buick's centennial celebration in 2003.' 1964 Rivera, Regal Black with red interior, an elegant example of the first generation of Buick's personal luxury car that was a design triumph of Bill Mitchell and Ned Nickles.

Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Archival Collection 26 Title: Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Creator: Ludvigsen, Karl E. Call Number: Archival Collection 26 Quantity: 931 cubic feet (514 flat archival boxes, 98 clamshell boxes, 29 filing cabinets, 18 record center cartons, 15 glass plate boxes, 8 oversize boxes). Abstract: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers 1905-2011 contain his extensive research files, photographs, and prints on a wide variety of automotive topics. The papers reflect the complexity and breadth of Ludvigsen’s work as an author, researcher, and consultant. Approximately 70,000 of his photographic negatives have been digitized and are available on the Revs Digital Library. Thousands of undigitized prints in several series are also available but the copyright of the prints is unclear for many of the images. Ludvigsen’s research files are divided into two series: Subjects and Marques, each focusing on technical aspects, and were clipped or copied from newspapers, trade publications, and manufacturer’s literature, but there are occasional blueprints and photographs. Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1. Subject Files [11 filing cabinets and 18 record center cartons] The Subject Files contain documents compiled by Ludvigsen on a wide variety of automotive topics, and are in general alphabetical order.
