'HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY' JULY 4TH ! Grand National 2018 Meet,'Pitt' Campus At Greensburg, Pa. By Bill Wurzell, Editor Chesapeake Region, AACA The weather forecast for the Grand Nation- al Meet, in Greensburg, Pennsylvania was not very promising for the entire three day meet. However, we lucked out! Especially, show day Saturday, June 2, just slightly overcast. In a nutshell, a Grand National meet is for ve- hicles that are twenty-five or more years old and have won previous awards in AACA sanctioned events. Only members of The Antique Automo- bile Club of America can enter cars for judging. The owner of a winning vehicle can feel that he or she, has achieved the pinnacle of success with their vehicle. Many of the vehicles award- ed are quite valuable, but there are plenty of ve- hicles that have a far more modest value. Let’s say a 1956 Mercedes-Benz gull wing coupe to a 1956 Chevrolet Bel-Air sedan. The award is the same. Once again, Chesapeake Region had ex- cellent representation from members, Ron King, Norm Heathcote, Owen Garland, Bill Scott and Chesapeake Region, Vice President, Chesapeake Region Member, Bill Scott poses in front of his 1966 Buick Electra 225 coupe.

The 'Classic Auto Mall' that approximately 20 members visited on June 20th, is owned by a wealthy, very involved family that owns sev- eral large venue sites, primarily in the Mid-At- lantic States. The family and their patriarch take a 'hands on' approach to all their hold- ings, understandable as they are real estate developers.

The President’s Message From Paula Ruby Hello Everyone!

As you are reading this newsletter, we are just days away from the AACA Spring Meet in Gettysburg, PA. It will start on Wednesday July 11th and go through Saturday, July 14th, the day of the show. This is my final request to every Chesapeake Region member for your help.

On Saturday, July 14th we will need as much assistance as we can get, to handle placement of all the show vehicles onto the show field, as well as placement of the many trailers that will be coming in that day. Your attendance is NEEDED AT 6:00 A.M. at the Wyndham. You will need to report to the show tent and talk to Gary Wilmer to get your assign- ment. We are going to need about 70 people to work for several hours to get all the vehicles placed. With the large membership that we have, this should not be a prob- lem. So, even if you are not registered for the Meet, this is your chance to help your club. This parking task is not just for the men of Chesapeake, it includes the ladies as well. Help is also needed on Tuesday, July 10th at the hotel to unpack the trailer of all the items that are being brought to Gettysburg. We have a 28-foot trailer LOADED with many items, including 2000 bottles of water. Be at the hotel to help on Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. If you have any questions regarding helping, please give me a call.

Included with this newsletter are two important flyers. The first one is the registration form for our Club picnic at Patapsco State Park, and the other is for our Autumn Harvest Collector Car Show in Man- chester, Maryland. Please do not wait to turn in the registration form for the picnic. Again this year, the picnic will be catered by Mission BBQ. Their food is fantastic, and so also will be the opportunity to socialize with your many fellow Chesapeake Region members. We plan to have an auction this year, so round up an item or two to bring to the picnic for donation to the auction. Proceeds of the auction will benefit the Club.

In closing I appeal to all Chesapeake members to come out and support the Meet. Please do not leave it up to the core group that has been doing everything up to this point. This meet is a total reflection on our Chesapeake Region and its members. If we have everyone that normally attends the banquet each year come out and help, we will have more than enough people.

Looking forward to seeing you all in Gettysburg!

A good example is the Ontelaunee Region “Das Awkscht Fest” which is held every summer in Macungie PA. It is attended by members of many neighboring AACA Regions. In fact, the New Jersey Region lists it on their calendar of events. The New Jersey Region’s Spring Meet this year was honored to have some South Jersey Region members attend the event and register their cars. We recently had a local pig roast where three different regions conducted a day tour to attend the event. AACA Antique Cars And Their Owners Help Improve Society For All!

The gentlemen above, addressing a tram full of Chesapeake Region members gave a complete narrative of the Auto Mall. He operated the tram and asked a bunch of automotive related questions.

This shot will give you some perspective of the vastness of this property. The building when last used, was a discount furniture mall. It sat unoc- cupied for six years! It took a lot of time and money to bring it up to its present state. It is still a work in progress.

Newlyweds Steve and Mallory and their Chauffeur, Philip Hack Chesapeake Region’s diligent and hard working Activity Director, Phil Hack was recently asked by a neighbor to drive the neighbor’s daughter and new husband from the courthouse in Towson to the wed- ding reception in Reisterstown. Phil willing obliged. On the day of the wedding, the weather was threatening, however the clouds soon parted, and the sun came out! With the bride 'Mallory' and bridegroom 'Steve' in the back seat of Phil’s awesome 1947 Chevrolet Woodie wagon, Phil (complete with Chauffeur’s cap) drove them across Shawan Road, through Worthing- ton Valley and Butler. They arrived at precisely the right time at the re- ception! Phil’s unselfish gesture to help a neighbor will provide Mallory and Steve a lifetime memory of their wedding day.
