  • 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.

Sandy was kept busy organizing the food as it arrived and also giving tours. Nick showed up in one of his vintage cars and was whitelined on the back driveway where it created quite a stir. The “dining area” in the back yard was kept filled with people partaking of all the excessive amount of food, and thanks to our wonderful potluck providers, our serving tables with so many delicious choices, many of us made several trips back to sample more.

  • The Schulte Family in Alpine, California
    THE SCHULTE FAMILY IN ALPINE, CALIFORNIA The two things that have led to my connection and fascination with Alpine are my visits with my grandmother, Marguerite (Borden) Head or “Zuella”, and the Foss family in the 1950s, and the exquisite art work of Leonard Lester (see separate articles titled The Marguerite (Borden) and Robert Head Family of Alpine” and “Leonard Lester – Artist”). Most of the information on the Schulte family presented here is from 1) conversations with my father, Claude H. Schulte; 2) my grandfather, Christopher Henry Schulte, whose personal history was typed by his daughter, Ruth in 1942; and 3) supplemented by interviews with and records kept by my Aunt Ruth Schulte, including her mother’s diary. Kenneth Claude Schulte – December 2009 Christopher Henry Schulte, who immigrated to the United States in 1889, was born in Twistringen, Germany on 21 Dec 1874 and died 1 May 1954 in Lemon Grove, San Diego Co., California. In Arkansas he was married on 28 Jul 1901 to Flora Birdie Lee, born 16 Oct. 1883, Patmos, Hempstead Co., Arkansas and died 11 Jul 1938, Alpine, San Diego Co., California. Henry and Birdie had eight children: 1. Carl Lee Schulte b. 14 Oct 1902 Arkansas 2. Lois Birdie Schulte b. 07 Jun 1904 Arkansas 3. Otto Albert Schulte b. 29 May 1908 Arkansas 4.

    Volume 19 Issue 6 June 1, 2019 The 1958 - 1960 Lincolns, Interesting Automobiles A totally different Lincoln from the ones who came before it. Experiencing a shortage of articles from our members, we went back into the archives of Continental Comments for an interesting article; which you might enjoy. Lincoln models 1958 through 1960 were both interesting from a mechanical and stylistic standpoint. A lot of folks were not quite sure if the new look of these models was something that they would really like over a period of time. Compared to the 1956 and 1957 models, they really were quite different. Boxier and somewhat larger by most measurements. Now some 60 years later, they are sort of coming into their own. Nice examples will bring a lot of money today, especially if they are convertibles. We have several of these models owned by North Star club members, and they do speak quite highly of them. This article was written by Tim Howley and appeared in the July August 2002 issue of Conti- nental Comments. It is an interesting story, and it looks at these models in a fairly object fashion. Welcome to the We hope you enjoy reading it. Northstar News, the The late Fifties is a fascinating era in automobile styling. It produced the ultimate in ba- roque automobile architecture, especially in the biggest American cars. We think of the 1959 monthly publication of Cadillac and 1957-59 Imperial as being the most interesting examples. But when you set the Northstar Region them alongside the 1958 Lincoln, and to a degree the 1959 and 1960 versions, they don't even of the Lincoln and begin to compare in terms of uniqueness of design.

  • CONFERENCE PAPER ABSTRACTS In
    AUTOMOTIVE HISTORIES DRIVING FUTURES Inaugural conference of Automotive Historians Australia hosted by RMIT Design Archives RMIT School of Architecture and Design, Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture Monash University Melbourne, Australia 1– 3 September 2016 CONFERENCE PAPER ABSTRACTS OIn conference program order Laura Belik - Parsons: The New School for Design, USA Cities to whom, by whom? The Minhocao elevated highway case study in São Paulo/ Brazil Abstract São Paulo of the 20th century was a city built for cars. The Avenue Plan ruled how the city would grow, and consequently, how its population would live. Amongst other consequences, the city slowly lost access to public spaces and to a more humanized scale. Nowadays this situation has been facing some changes: people started to claim for new uses of the built environment engaging with concepts of spatial democracy. This paper will explore one case study within São Paulo (Brazil): The Minhocão, a soon-to-be deactivated elevated highway, and the debates involving a range of actors over the future of the structure. Considering urban land as a commodity, especially when it comes to its road system, it is difficult to separate the uses of any space without understanding them as a repercussion of the power of capital or governing influences. The main challenge is to understand how to make public spaces and the cities more democratic, and, in this sense, how to recognize the potential city spaces can have. A city that was once ruled by the automotive planning, today is repurposing itself through popular demands. But the palimpsest of an era will prevail in its landscape.

  • Preston Tucker: His Car and the Men Who Helped Create It by STEVE REPERGEL
    Preston Tucker: His Car and the Men Who Helped Create It By STEVE REPERGEL Recently, I had the privilege of speaking to Philip S. Egan, author of “Design and Destiny: the making of the Tucker Automobile.” Now 81, Egan, an industrial designer, helped make Preston Tucker's dream car a reality. This story outlines my conversations with Egan, presents findings derived from his book and offers insight into the minds of the automotive geniuses who worked so diligently behind the scenes. As a highly creative individual who possessed acute visionary skills and a refined sense of business acumen, Preston Tucker was without question a successful entrepreneur long before he envisioned the Tucker automobile. Much of his success is credited to his personality---he had the talent and gift to make people believe and invest in his ideas. Preston Tucker began his entrepreneurial triumphs during World War II with inventions of mechanical design. His involvement with military staff at Washington D.C. led to contributions on the Sherman Tank, the creation of the infamous Combat Car and the Tucker Turret which was used widely throughout the Second World War His interest in automobiles, especially with regards to speed, was sparked by his close relationship with famous racecar driver and designer Harry Miller. From his associations with Miller, Tucker spent much time composing concepts of mechanical ingenuity that could be applied to the inner workings of a revolutionary automobile. It was clear, however, that Preston Tucker would not be satisfied with just selling his ideas about automobiles. He wanted to produce a vehicle on the open market that he could proudly claim as his very own.
