Although I love the fall weather, it is always a little sad to know that soon our babies will be put away in storage for the winter. I hope you all were able to get your show cars out this summer and enjoyed the great weather we had. It was hot, yes, but for the most part, dry. Casey and I hit just about every show we wanted to this year (except we would have loved to go to California for the AMCRC Nationals and couldn’t). Because there are so many shows now, they are starting to conflict with one another, so it is getting harder to fit them all in. Of course, though, we all have INSIDE THIS ISSUE! • 40 TROPHIES! our favorites. • ORPHAN CARS Officer’s Review/Editor’s Note page 2 I have been saying that I never get enough classified ads for the newsletter, and this time • HISTORICAL BUILDINGS 24th Annual Teague Meet page 3 I received enough to fill one and one half • FOOD Teague Award Winners page 6 pages!

Teague Midwest amo regional meet -Casey McGowan The 24th Annual Richard A Teague Regional Meet was held July 10, in Dublin, Ohio. This show always follows the Arthritis Foun- dation’s cruise-in and auto show - held Friday and Saturday - at the Dublin Metro Place complex. This year, the weatherman cooperated and provided a warm, sunny day for this premier AMC event. A total of sixty two cars regis- tered to either be displayed or judged by AMO standards. We had six or seven vendors on the field who provided many parts and other merchandise for show attendees. Sadly, our records show that only two vendors paid for their space at our registration tent. If you are one of the folks who didn’t pay, kindly send OAMC a check for $20.00. Thank you! The registration breaks down as follows: pre-registrations were sent in by thirteen people, fourteen elected to display only, and thirty four folks registered at the tent to be judged. OAMC wishes to thank every person who attended this year’s show for being so loyal to the Richard A. Teague Meet. Attendees traveled from all over Ohio, as well as Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. It’s great to host a show that draws from seven states. This year, we photographed every car and owner in front of the club banner. We don’t have room to post every photo in this newsletter, so look for yours on our club website: http://clubs.hemmings.com/clubsites/ohioamc/ As always, everyone had a great time over the weekend, and as usual, it went by lightening fast. My only regret is that I didn’t have time to get out and chat with everyone, but I trust everyone networked with each other. You can always make a new AMC friend at a re- gional meet. I wish to thank all our volunteers who make it possible for you to have a venue like this to attend. Chris McGowan, Dorothy Turner, and Tom Bunsey took care of registration. Matt Haas and Chris Maples directed traffic while I shot the photos. Also, thanks to all the judges for taking time out of their day at the show to inspect your pride and joy. AMO judging stan- dards are tough, so if you got a bronze, silver or gold award - Bravo! You did a super job cleaning and detailing your car. Thanks to our fabulous DJ, Roger Bishop, who kept us enter- tained and made our announcements. Also thanks to Steve Pierce of Weldon’s Ice Cream for serving us great food and providing ice cream cones for our judges. We appreciate everyone who helps make this the great show that it is, and we invite everyone back again next year for our 25th Anniversary Richard A. Teague Meet. (Continued from page 19) Betty have been made honorary members. They have also been made honorary members of OAMC. Accomplishments include Navy pilot, Pratt Institute graduate, advanced designer at Ford, right hand man to Ed Anderson, head of AMC design studio, and head of the design and planning staff at Kel- vinator Appliance division. He later became VP of Engineering - heading up the manufacturing division in Grand Rapids and became Division President at White Consolidated. After a whirlwind career of 35 years at AMC, Bill and Betty (a Michigan educator), retired to Petoskey, Michigan where Betty worked with the local historical society, and Bill served on town coun- cil as well as many years on the ski patrol. Bill still skis to this day. (See Bill’s story in American X-Press issue Volume 26, Issue 1 - January/February 2005). The weather on show day was pleasant, everyone had a great time chatting with each other and choosing their favorites for the People’s Choice awards. Following the awards presentation, Mr. Reddig spoke to the crowd and presented his award for favorite pick. The award happily went to John Beam of Newport, Kentucky for his beautiful 1959 Ambassador gold and black station wagon. This was the design (especially the roof rack) that got Bill his big promotion to Kelvinator. Thanks Bill and Betty, it was great!

  • 1968 AMC AMX Rally Car PRICE £100,000
    1968 AMC AMX Rally Car PRICE £100,000 ABOUT THIS CAR IDEAL FOR USE ON: Flying Scotsman, Himalayan Challenge, Trans America, Rally Round Africa, Paris to Amsterdam, The 4th Alpine Trial, Slartibartfast, Maharaja Marathon, Peking to Paris, Flight of the Condor Rally Preparation Services is pleased to offer this 1968 AMC AMX classic car for sale. This long-distance endurance rally car was stripped to a bare shell before being purpose built for the 2016 Peking to Paris Motor Challenge, a now famous endurance rally. There is no doubt that in the right hands, this is a potential rally winner. AMC (American Motor Corporation) was formed by the merger of Nash Kelvinator (as in fridges) and the Hudson Motor Co. in 1954 and soon competed with the big three despite being a much smaller company. Innovative engineering such as tandem master cylinders and manufacturing practices such as shared componentry helped the company compete along with the far-sighted purchase of Jeep. A largely unsuccessful merger with Renault followed the eventual absorption by the Chrysler Corporation which phased out the AMC brand by the late 1980s. The AMX was a mix of sports car and muscle car. Production ran for just three years from 1968 to 1970 and was unique in being the only steel constructed two seater car made in America at the time and voted ‘Best Engineered Car of the Year’ in 1969 and 1970 by the American Society of Automotive Engineers. Rally preparation includes a bespoke roll-cage which follows modern practice of reinforcing the bodyshell and suspension pick up points.

  • Gordon Davis- Forward Look Designer
    Gordon Davis- Forward Look Designer G. Gordon Davis was born and raised in Ludington, MI during the Great Depression. As soon as he could hold a pencil, he drew cars. He was still drawing cars when he was accepted into the University of Notre Dame in 1953. His sketches from that time were discovered by Bob Bourke, then Director of Design at Studebaker in South Bend, IN. At Bourke’s suggestion, Davis transferred to the Art Center School in Los Angeles (now the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena CA) where he studied automotive design. As an Art Center alumnus, Davis was hired by Director of Design, Virgil Exner, at Chrysler Corp. It was fortuitous, as it was the dawn of the legendary Forward Look era. First assigned to the Advanced Design Studio, Davis contributed to Chrysler’s turbine concept designs. He was soon transferred to the Chrysler Studio where his 1957 Forward Look that visualized future concepts inspired Exner’s Ghia-built XNR prototype. The XNR in turn influenced Chrysler’s early 1960s product lineup. By late 1957, Davis was assigned to the DeSoto Studio where he designed the exterior trim for the 1959 DeSoto. Although the ’59 DeSoto’s sheet metal had been approved by 1957, the “jewelry” had not. Davis designed the eagle medallions that appeared on the front bumper and deck lid, the DeSoto lettering, the Firesweep side moldings, the “turbine” wheel covers, and the optional bumperettes. Davis was one of three Chrysler designers recruited by Exner’s second-in-command Wm. Schmidt, when Chrysler management gave Schmidt a contract to design concepts independently of Exner.
