August 2010 Page 6 Rally August 2010 Page 7 Rally August 2010 Page 8 Don Townsend Just a few bits about Dad. He purchased his first Harley in 1943, it was a 1923 model, and so started quite a collection of bikes and cars over the next 67 years. A total of 49 cars, 15 Harley’s, 25 Caravans, 10 Trailers and a couple of boats. Yes he left a detailed list in order of purchase, cost price and sold price. (Dad should have been an Accountant) Listed below are some of the classic’s he has had in Don Townsend his stable at some time. (Not in purchase order) ‘26 Packard Sedan, ‘27 Morris Cowley Roadster 13.9, ‘27 Cowley Tourer 11.9, ‘28 Chev Tourer, ‘28 Fiat Sedan, ‘28 Essex Super 6 Buckboard, ‘29 Reo Sedan, ‘34 Fiat Coupe ‘34 Chev Roadster, ‘35 Chev Master Tourer, ‘35 Oldsmobile Sedan, ‘37 Morris 8/40 Sedan, ‘37 Chev Sedan, ‘37 Austin 7 Coupe, ‘39 Dodge TC Ute, ‘40 Ford 10-10 P/Van, ‘40 Morris 8/40 Roadster, ‘47 Vauxhall Sedan, ‘50 Anglia Sedan, ‘51 Anglia Tourer, ‘52 Austin A40 Devon Sedan, ‘52 Prefect Sedan, ‘52-53 Hudson Sedan, ‘56 Dodge Sedan. 1942 Harley Davidson There were also many Holden’s, Commodore’s, a Valiant or two and a couple of Toyota’s. At the end Dad still had his original 1955 FJ, which he purchased brand new, His ‘27 Essex Tourer, handed down by the original owner in 1963 and used in original trim in the first Bay to Birdwood and his ‘42 WLC Harley outfit purchased in 2001. Dad used them all on a regular weekly outing subject to the weather. Dad’s life revolved around his family and his uncanny ability to see a dollar and a lot of fun collecting these cars over the years doing them up and then turning them into a profit to help support his family along the way. As a family 1955 FJ Holden we had many an enjoyable moment and memorable trips in some of these vehicles over the years. Dad’s health started to decline in 1995 and I honestly believe that if it were not for his love, interest and involvement in his cars, bikes and the AAA Club he would not have lasted as long as he did. On Behalf of Joan, Jennie, Colin, Myself and our Fami- lies I would like to say “Thank You” to the Members of the AAA Club for you friendship and support for Dad over the last 25 years and kind words recently with Dad’s passing.

  • Introduction to R&C Database Compilation & Index
    Introduction to R&C Database Compilation & Index I have a long history and fondness for Rod & Custom magazine. This is the first magazine I purchased at age 10, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I often refer back to my collection, but find it hard to quickly lay my hands on a given article. This is for fellow HAMB members who share a love for this little magazine. This Index covers Rod & Custom Magazine from May 1953 through May 1974. I stopped at 1974 since R&C went out of print then. R&C was restarted in December 1988 and lasted until October 2014. This index is created for general reference, technical reference, research, tracing automobile histories, and genealogy. I have attempted to use a consistent categorization or article grouping scheme across all 20+ years, even though editors or previous compilations may not have used this convention. This index contains the following specific information: Title of each article along with a descriptive supplement such as club affiliation, noted customizers, past owners, professions, etc. The author’s and/or photographer’s name where space allowed. Featured vehicle year, make, model, & engine and/or engine displacement where available or where space allowed. Vehicle owner name, city and state. Where the country is other than the United States, I listed the country Product manufacturer name, city and state. Address may be included if space allowed. The month and page number of each feature article or photograph. The index is sorted by year, and a title at the top of each page indicates which year.

I believe Rick said that Studebaker was the most prevalent marque at the show. As Rick no longer wants to chair the show he is looking for others to step up. The Opel Club has volunteered to help, but wants to co-host with another club. It was brought up that the North Georgia Club may be willing to be that co-host. I think that we need to discuss this at our June meeting along with the hosting of the next State Meet. We need as many of our members to be present for this discussion and vote. Other business that we need to discuss will be a Club golf type shirt and how many are interested. We also need to start a new meeting calendar for the 2009. As I look at the Club Meetings and the Other Event Opportunities, it looks like we are going to have a busy summer.

  • A Brief History of Studebaker Trucks: an Analysis of Production Records
    A Brief History of Studebaker Trucks: An Analysis of Production Records By Skip Lackie Introduction This history of Studebaker trucks is an attempt to bring together in one document a reasonably comprehensive chronology of Studebaker truck developments and production. It will focus on such information as model and series numbers, engines and tonnages in each model, major developments and improvements, company developments that affected truck production and design, unique identification features, and production quantities. It specifically will not address such details as colors, optional equipment, or authenticity concerns. Studebaker offered around a dozen different truck models each year during most of the post-War period, and also offered an ever- changing range of different transmissions, axle ratios, tire sizes, and wheelbases in most of them. The list of available optional equipment, sparse before the War, became very extensive during the long production of 2R-series trucks, and stayed that way thereafter. Many of these options were available for several years, but some transitioned back and forth between being standard equipment and optional at extra cost. Color combinations often were revised every year. Keeping track of exactly what could be ordered on a given model of Studebaker truck is beyond the scope of this history. Fortunately, however, this type of information has been described in considerable detail by historian Fred Fox, who authored a series of articles that describe each Studebaker truck model and series in the Studebaker Drivers Club’s monthly magazine Turning Wheels. Those wishing information on one particular year or model of Studebaker truck should purchase the particular copy of TW that describes their vehicle of interest.
