EDITOR’S NOTE: It’s that time of the year when car show season draws to a close. 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 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!

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 . This was the design (especially the ) that got Bill his big promotion to . Thanks Bill and Betty, it was great!

By 1966 AMC had fit the new 290 into a slightly elongated American, but by then the Marlin was in the second year of its unsuccessful run.

GREAT LAKES CLASSIC AMO MID-WEST REGIONAL -Casey McGowan The Great Lakes Classic AMC Club’s AMO Mid-West Regional Meet was once again held at Greenmead Historical Park in Livonia, Michigan on August 21. The location is easy to find. The park is near 8 Mile Road and I-275. It is a perfect place to have a car show, which has much to do with its continued success. Christine and I attend this show every year and urge all OAMC members to do the same. To their credit, there were quite a few Ohio- ans at the show. I will admit, it is not easy to get up at 5:00 AM to drive several hours for a one day show, but it is well worth the effort. Greenmead is supported by six area AMC clubs - American Motors Cruisers, Great Lakes Classic AMC Club, Hoosier AMC Club, Glass City AMC Club, Ohio American Motors Classics, and North Coast AMC. Attendance is always good, and pushes car totals past the eighty mark. The first thing to do once parked on the field is hit the swap meet. Greenmead’s swap meet is the area’s largest and had about 30 vendors this year. Many people attending this show worked at AMC headquarters in nearby , some of them are vendors now, selling items they have collected over the years. After covering the swap meet, spending all the money I brought, I made the rounds, talking with all the AMCers I am ac- quainted with. This is where the fun is...networking. One of my goals this day was to meet as many former AMC designers as I could. I was not disappointed as a conversation with one would lead to my meeting two or three more. At one point, I had three of the gentleman speaking with me at the same time. What an honor! Some of the men I have met before - Bob Bristow and Jim Pappas. I had interviewed them at Lew Brown’s show. They led me to Jim Alexander, whom I had not met. Also at the show were two clay modelers - Frank Pascoe and Keith Goodnough. They in turn helped me locate others. In the swap meet area, I met Bill Norgrove who sold me some ‘79 AMX parts from a car once owned by . Norbert Vance was parked next to me with his Mellow Yellow Javelin. Norbert’s father worked for AMC. He had on display, a large story board with many pictures and articles about his father. His display made it easy for me to explain to the de- signers what I expect of them at the 2006 AMO International Conven- tion. AMO 2006 CONVENTION UPDATE AMC’S FOREIGN RELATIONS After the 24th Annual Teague Meet, we held a planning AUSTRALIAN MOTOR INDUSTRIES committee meeting for the AMO Convention to be held July 27-29, Australian Motor Industries produced many right-hand-drive Rambler 2006 in Carillon Historical Park in Dayton, Ohio.

CONVENTION MEETING

SEPTEMBER 24, 2005 CARILLON HISTORICAL PARK

IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE ED ANDERSON AMCRC REGIONAL

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

Volunteer positions are available for many different tasks. Here is a list of most of them:

Sign and tent set up: 8 - 10 people Vehicle registration: 2 - 3 groups of three people each for three hour shifts Parking: 8 - 10 people Vendor/Swap Meet: 4 - 5 people Photography: 2 - 3 people Banquet facilitators: 5 - 7 people Club Sales: 3 - 4 people Tear down/Clean up: 10 - 12 people

You can see that there are at least 60 positions available for volun- teers, and these are just during the show! There are countless posi- tions available for volunteers in preparing for the show: each com- mittee needs help in the preliminary work to be done - registration, publicity, hotel, park, activities, and finance.

We are also in need of some really good door prizes. We will want to give some out during the show, and some at the banquet. If you have access to some great door prizes, contact Mike Turner, and he’ll be happy to get them from you.

We are also looking into some corporate sponsoring. There are often companies that will be happy to make a donation to the cause, most of the time in return for advertisement of some type - either in our tent, or announcements. Go around to local business or auto - re- lated stores, and see if you can get a donation of $25 - 100 from them. See what they want for their money, and if it is reasonable, contact Mike Turner.

One last thing we are always on the lookout for is material for the “goody bags”. These are usually items that are small and can be placed in the bags given to each participant. You will need a large quantity: 300 - 500 of each item. Hit up your local business for some goodies - it’s great advertising for them too!

The big surprise for me was the record number of cars - 13 - in the AMO GOES TO “HOTLANTA” IN 2005 American Cup Class. This is the most I have ever seen at any AMO -Casey McGowan National meet.

The swap meet was pretty big (I would estimate 30 vendors) and provided some good buys for all. Mark Jasinsky was there with wife Lisa manning their space most of the day. They had for sale two NOS quarter panels for a Gremlin. Jeff Kennedy was set up and busy all day. Fellow club members Pete and Laura Vaughn were set up next to me and sold a 390 short block from their space. I did pur- chase a couple of items - a set of eight-slot wheels in primer from Bob Hodson (Florida), a nice ‘72 shop manual for my three ‘72 AMCs, and an idler pulley for Chris’s “Mary Kay” Javelin - found by sharp-eyed member Joe Fougerousse from Indiana. Thanks Joe. Saturday morning we all headed down to the show, about a five mile drive. Photos were taken quickly and we were directed to our row on the show-field. “Mary Kay” ran great and drew much at- tention next to our red/white/blue sun shade. The temperature on Saturday hit 100 degrees. Most people huddled under their sun shades or next to the wooded area on the edge of the field. Chris and I braved the heat long enough to pass out flyers and take some pictures. I also volunteered to help judge the cars. My team worked well together and got through our class in about an hour. The cars on the field totaled 149. Stock AMXs and Javelins were in short supply as non-stock is the favored way to go today.
