Greetings :

The turnouts to the monthly meetings have been excellent. I wish to thank you all for your participation.

It was good to see many of our members at the Antioch Swap Meet. It was felt, however, that there was a definite lack of Early Ford V-8 parts. Maybe we hill see more of these V-8 parts at the coming swap meets in Madera, Modesto and Sacramento.

Our regular business meeting will be held on February 28, 1964 at 7:30 p.m. in the 1-letal Shcp of the %n Leandro High School, 2200 Bancrof t Avenue, San Lesndro . If you have friends that are interested in the Early Ford V-8's please invite them to our meetings.

On the 4th of July in Danville, there will be a large, all day, planned celebration sponsored by the Danville Chamber of ~omerce. The Horseless Carriage Club will be there, and the end of the day will be topped off with a big fireworks display. ,..:. , . , ' :-'( ,' , I have indicated to'the Chamber of Commerce that our organization will operate one of the many carnival type booths that will be set-up. 'with help from the membership the Early Ford V-8 Club of America will operate a "coin tossn game of skill. I shall fill you in on the details at the 'next meeting. (by 29th, 7:30 p.m. at the San Leandro High Metal Shop ) .

August 21, 1964

An Executive meeting was held August 14th at the home of Hal Bancroft.

As th* organization grows in membership so grow the organizational problems. The purpose of the meeting was to set up needed committee chairmen to lighten the work load and involve more participation by all the members.

Chairmen of any committee need interested members to help form ideas and actions for the total orcan$zation. If you are interested in any of the committees, please get in touch with the chairmen of that committee. Don't be bashful.

The following committee chairmen have been appointed:

Membership - Hal Rancroft Yearbook - Dick Green Activities - To include long range planning and yearly calendar - Ken Keyser Photographer - Bob Mah Hostess - Carol Phelps

We will have more committees as the need grows.

It was felt at this meeting that our physical set-up for the regular monthly meetings could be improved. With all-members seated - instead of some standing - this should make the meetings more business-like. Your president will import some folding chairs to help seat all members.

Again. I would like to emphasize the importance of long range planning. If you would like to translate your ideas into fact - see these committee chairmen.

Other committees that were discussed during the meeting but have not been finalized are :

Policy Committee

Tour rules committee (A sub-committee of the activities commit tee)

SWAP MEET COHIKG UP on Sunday, February 21, 1965 at the Antioch Fairgrounds in Antioch, California. It's the first one of the new year and should be a good one. Gather up all those goodies you've been saving through the winter and make it on out. The early birds get the worms, so I've been told.

MIhUTES FOFW JANUARY MEETING: JAKUARY 29, 1965. The first meeting of 1965 was called to order by newly-elected president Dick Green. Dick had guests introduce themselves. The minutes of the previous meeting were read by former secretary Bob Mah. Laree Phelan gave the treasurer's report. The proceeds from the Installation Dinner resulted in a loss for the club. The total bill came to 267.57, while the total proceeds came to 213.51, resulting in a net loss of 54.36. It was proposed that the club treasury pay the deficit, and the measure passed. A discussion followed on how meetings could be arranged so as to make better use of the alloted time. Coming tours was the next topic on the agenda. It was decided by members that a limit of four tours a year would be sufficient, probably spaced about two months apart. It was thought that this idea would help to maintain interest of the members and also give them time to work on their cars between tours. Dick Green suggested that the first tour be a kind of shakedown run to a vinery located somewhere in the Bay Area. Don Knopp and Tony Silva were appointed chairman and co-chairman, respectively, of the first tour and will make all arrangements. The other three tours are still in the talking stages. The subject of more publicity for the club was brought up. It was decided that the placement of ads in the San Francisco Chronicle and Examiner, the Oakland Tribune and Heming's Motor News would further benefit the club. The proposed plan by promoter A1 Slonaker for having a Restoration Show was given up because of lack of interest. It was hoped by some members that the idea will be introduced next year. The newsletter editor, Mike Carlston, is going to try to enlarge and brighten up future issues in an effort to stimulate interest in the club. While publication (MINUTES COKTIhvE) costs will undoubtedly rise, memberships should also increase. The meeting was adjourned at 9:45 p.m. for coffee, donuts and swap talk.

FROM THE PRESIDENT We have a plea from club president Dick Green for members to get busy and get those cars ready for the 1965 tour season. Many nice trips to California scenic spots are being planned and Dick urges that members work a little harder, a little longer and dig a little deeper to get those good looking V-8's out on the open roads where they belong. Dick's goal is to try for , twenty cars on this year's tours, which are tentatively set for April, June, August and October. It can be done, states Dick, and this is where the real fun in V-8ing lies; in driving them.

FROM THE TREASURER Treasurer Larree Phelan reminds members that their yearly dues will be overdue after March 1. Help Larree keep his books straight by getting your money to hin! sometime before that date. Your efforts will be appreciated.

DID'YA KNO~...... That the first swap meet of the season is Sunday, February 21, in Antioch? The next one will be sometime in March at Sacramento. No date on that one yet. Both meets usually are two of the best ones.

. . . That the Ford Motor Company has large, high quality original photos of that early Ford V-8 you're restoring or tinkering with? ~hey'reavailable ar 1.50 per picture at the following address: Ford Motor Company Ford Photographic and Printing . The American Road Dearborn, Michigan

. . . That fellow member Claude Randall from Gustine uncovered a real sleeper in last month's Heunnings Motor News? Seems that Little Dearborn advertised a lin- ited supply of new original 1932 Ford 17-8 owner's manuals for sale. Claude sent away, and by golly if he didn't get the real thing. And for only 3.00. It's a real beauty.

. . . That maybe it's still not too late for other members who are literature bugs to send away? Sure wouldn't hurt to try.

. . . That Specialized Auto Parts in Concord is getting to be quite the hangout for early V-8 enthusiasts? Besides the owners, Larree Phelan, ?Eke Carlston, Lloyd Derickson, Jim Durham and Bill Aldrich. And it might be added that all have lended their support to the effort. Thanks fellas. That Lloyd Derickson is looking for a nice '35 or '36 three window coupe for around $200.00. Can anyone help him? If so his address is 242 Ilene Drive, Pleasant Hill.

That Don Knopp is in the wrong business. After serving as Master of Ceremonies at last month's Installation Dinner it was rumored by many members that Don should be a comedian. An easier going guy, there isn't. When asked how to pronounce his last name he merely stated that anyway would be fine. Now if we could get him off that Mercury-lincoln-Zepher kick.

That Dee McCoppin deserves a big vote of thanks for her efforts on the fashion show at the Installation Dinner. It was evident that a great deal of research went into her program, which went off like clockwork.

That Dave Sorich of Nodel A Parts House on West San Carlos in San Jose just might have some of those hard-to-find choice little goodies for your car? Dave specializes in quality merchandise whether it be new, original or reproduction type. Now all you have to do is find him. A good bet is either Friday afternoon or all day Saturday.

That one J.G. Haynes, Route 1, Box 2379, Anderson, Calif. is making new steering wheels for the Model A in either black or red. The wheels are of excellent quality or I wouldn't mention this, but maybe if some members got together and contacted Mr. Haynes ...he just mighr ...You eot the message !

That the upholstery fabrics used in Ford cars are exceptional quality. Their content of wook and mohair is approximately as follows:

Pin stripe mohair...... 80 per cent wool Bedford cord...... 55 per cent wool Wool suede.,...... lOO per cent wool Mohair...... 50 per cent mohair Wide wale Fedford cord....rjQ per cent wool

Two kinds of trimmine are offered in deluxe closed cars-taupe-colored mohair and taupe-colored, pinstripe, Broadcloth. Trimming offered for the Cabriolet is genuine leather seat-cushions and back or Bedford Cord. Rumble seat is artificial leather. The Phaeton and Roadster have genuine leather for seat-cushions and backs. Artificial leather is used in the Roadster rumble seat.

Hal Staley, of Mzl's A Parts, 10 El Rancho Drive, Pleasant Hill, still has a few of the Ford V-8 Cars and Trucks by Page. The book contains 896 pages of pictures, facts and info. Check it out.

That there was a big sale within the club? It took place between fellow members Steve Castelli of Petaluma and Mike Carlston of Concord. Mike bought Steve's 1940 Ford &-door Sedan with 80,000 originals on it. Both parties seem to be very happy about the deal. OPEN HOUSE

THE REVOLUTIONARY 1937 FORD by Mike Donovan Esq.

In a937 Ford came out with it's first "spectacular" change in its production line since 1932. It could be called a revolution in the Ford V-8 line, at least I consider it so. Wnat is different about the 1937 model? Well one might szy that it is' its overall design or appearance. Why my '37 Ford or Sedan has bee9 called everything from a '32 Ford to a '47 Ford by many people; it was even though to be a '48 Dodge once. Of course I have called it many different names myself. But this was not the only change that was made to the Ford line that year. Among the revolutionary changes were the brakes, th body (basic style) and roof, headlite placement, engine compartment, hood, and some smaller additions. Let's explore these improvernnts that came about in the 1937 Ford.

Probably one of the biggest mechanical improvements brought about this year was a newly designed braking system. In the past all Fords had the well knotn rodd actuated stoppers. This was changed to a cable-type mechanisg, although still remaining of the mechanical nature. The pre-'37 brakes were hard to keep adjusted because the rods would tend to twist and bend; ah, but no need to worry about that with the new design, no sir. These cables would just fray and break. A better brake than the "rod" type we certainly needed.

In 1937, Ford brought out what was known as the all-steel body, (don't you believe it, have you ever seen my station wagen?). The body included an all-steel roof or turret-top, no more fabric inserts. That meant that there would be no more leaks an no more replacing torn fabric, just a little extra waxing but well worth it.

If you had a Ford before 1937, I bet you thought that the headlites were awfully dim and inadequate. Well, they were different in 1937. No, they were still lousy as far as vision goes, but the position was changed. Instead of being on a stand, they were placed smoothly in a contoured fender. .:Big deal, you might say, so they are still lousy headlites. But look, at it his way, you gotta make chanqes, that's progress. Big changes came under the hood this year also. Still available was the familiar 85 horsepower engine, but now for the first time a person uas . able to have a choice of V-8's. This new size engine was the 60 horsepover V-8 which enjoyed overwhelming success. Tne battery was now exposed sitting on a shelf in the firewall, instead of resting beneath the floorboards as in the past. Speaking of under the hood, the hood itself was different. Yes, instead of being hinged down the center so that one could work on both sides of the engine with no problem, it was now hinged across-the back so that one could work on the top of the engine with no problem. So now it was easy towork on the air cleaner, generator, . . . and generator and air cleaner . . . and . . . . These were probably the most sensational changes in the 1937 Ford which made it a revolutionary car among th early V-8's. There were some new additions to the car which are still being used on present day automobiles; like the exposed radio aerial (which was a boon to unemployed pretzel twisters) and a hood ornament which also served as a latch to hold down the hood when you were gpomg at a tremendous clip uphill in your 60 horse V-8. Most of the designs and changes have remained throughout the years. The hood remains the same, as dows the all-steel body and roof, battery placement and choice of engines. KO longr do automobile manufacturers employ the relector-type headlites, but sealed beams are best; and no more poor rnecahnical brakes, but dependable hydraulics (with leaky lines). Gentlemen, I give'you the 1937 Ford V-8, a revolution in itself, believe it or not. Well okay, don't believe it then.

DIDYA KNOW . . . that Larree Phelan is responsible for the eye-catching art work that has been gracing the covers of the V-8 TIMES . . . that. a staff is currently being set up to help publ'ish this humble publicatfon. The new staff will begin with next month's issue (May) and it is hoped that the new system will produce a more repreqentative type newsletter, rather than sim~lyas the sole product of one particular member as has been done in the past. Quantity and quality as well, should improve if cooperation is achieved among the newly organized staff. Don't be too surprised of you are asked to contribute some small effort to aid in the improvement of the newsletter and. club . . .

that Herman Broome (of Redlands) is planning to drive his '34 Ford Roadster to the big Swap Meet and Car Show on August 7 i 8. How about stopping by and showing it to fellow club members Herman?

that the second club tour of the year will be held on June 6. The tour will start at the public parking lot across from Capwell's in Walnut Creek, From there we will proceed up to the top of Mt. Diablo, then back down to the base of it. We will then go to Herb Keyser's home to vier his antiquescand shop. Cars of interest will be his '14 T touring and White steam caf, one of two or three known to be existence. The tangent trip to Herb's place will not be definite until about 30 days beforehand. ' . From this point we will continue on to the Lenz's on Norris Canyon Road for e picnic. The meeting time will be announced in next month's newsletter. This word from Chairman Mike Donovan, who hopes to see many members on this tour since the weather in June is usually pretty fair for this type of excursion . . .

RESULTS ARE IN FROM THE FIRST TOUR and from all indications the event was a success albeit a bit mixed up. Seven cars left Livermore High School at 9:50 am Sunday, April 11 and proceeded to Weibel Winery near Mission San Jose, where they arrived at 10:30. Meanwhile the San Jose contingent had arrived early at the winery and had decided to head off the larger group at the pass somewhere on their proposed route in the Niles Canyon. &It as luck would have it Tour Director Don Knopp erred on his pre-flight plans and missed th Niles Canyon turn-off, which inadvertently led to the group from San Jose running around in a big circle. bth parties finally met at the winery for a tour and picnic. No trouble of kind was encountered on the trip and no one got rowdy. Although the tour was short, it was nonetheless interesting and the wines helped warm up an otherwise cold day. Those in attendance were Mike ~ondvanand his '37 Ford or, Dick Green and sons in ther '36 Phaeton, Ken and Betty Keysr in their '36 Phaeton, Lsrree Phelan b Family in their '36 Tudor Sedan, Don Knopp and his brother and brother's wife in his '40 Merc convert, Eob b Dee NcCoppin & son in their '36 Pickup, Allen Very in his Lincoln Zepher, Loren and Edy Sorenson in their13C 5-vindov Coupe, Al & Ginger Mota in their sanitary '41 Pickup, Bob Lenz and Family and the Lloyd Derickson's, both in their family cars.

It was noticed by all that both Dick Green and Don Knopp had added new tops to their V-8's since last soon. Congratulations!

A man I knew restored a Ford But, alas with too much zeal, for his heart gave out and he collapsed, beneath the left front wheel.

And as he lay with failing breath, neath the product of his toil, his dying words were, "Don't forget". "Be sure to change the oil".

THE 1936 FORD DELUXE ROADSTER BODY TYPE 68-710

Of all the beautiful and endearing auto mobiles that Henry Ford built, none were more abused and destroyed simply because of their beauty and appeal to youthful hot rodders than the roadsters.

This view of a 1936 Ford Station wagon was available to travelers on the Oregon, Calif= ornia and Nevada Highways on this weekend. Its owners the Doyles' of Cloverdale, Oregon, had this loaded with "goodies" the likes of which you have never seen. Doug had just bought this wagon in Iowa shortly before the tour, so this car has seen quite a few road First Prize winner of the accessory show. A miles in a short time. 1934 Ford Luggage Rack owned by John Mota. THE 1936 FORD DELUXE ROADSTER BODY TYPE 68-710

The deluxe Banjo steering wheel, with its steel spokes, was standard equipment (road sters) and came in brown or grey only. The wheel was matched according to the color on the instrument panel, as were the brown or grey instrument knobs, lighting switch, and the gauges themselves having brown or silver dials. It was necessary also to have an acces sory glove compartment lock as the open car The Bolgers' early V-8 wasn't running, so they had no other means of protecting loose valuables brought their fenders anyway. What puzzles from theft. me is how they put them into the car. At 64-5/8 inches above the road, the 1936 Ford roadster was lowest of the Ford line for that year. Safety glass windshield wings and boot for the top were included as standard equipment and the rear curtain was attached to the top bow in the upright position by means of stud fasteners. Outside door handles on the early models were straight, being replaced by curved handles as the year ended. Inside door handles on the roadster and phaeton differed from the other models, in that they were retained by a screw directly through the handle and into the door mechanism rather than the side clip retainer used on other models. The top irons on the late roadsters were painted a neutral tan after being chrome plated As usual there was something for the perform during the first part of the year. ance lover! A McCulloch Supercharger of early Another unusual but necessary option was V-8 origin. the spare tire cover which had to be ordered in 6:00X16 or 6:50X16 sizes according to which size tire was installed. To further enhance the beauty of your car you could have a factory spot-light, chrome wheel rings, locking gas cap, license plate frames and either an 8 day or 30 hour clock and mirror assembly in either ben ton grey or brown. If you lived in snow country you would want a radiator winter front, in black or silver color, and a heater and defroster with nozzle to match the instrument panel finish. Of course some of these options and ac cessories were available for other cars of the 1936 line also, and most everything ordered on the roadster could be duplicated on the phaeton, its closest counterpart. Besides these basic Glenn Kreger is comparing parts of his 1939 Sedan to those of the Harrah's Collection.

Perhaps just as the hot rodders of days past enjoyed the 1936 roadster for its speed and as a beautiful model upon which to alter and experiment, now possibly the restorer may have his chance as an auto historian to gather up the broken and battered bodies, remove their Oldsmobile and Cadillac engines, their column shifts, and "Carson" tops, and out of the ruin will come new beauty upon which the eyes and nostalgic hot rodders will gaze as they mutter to their equally aged buddies, "I thought we torched the last one of those back !:$ii:jS:::j^ in '49".
