Newfoundland Antique and Classic Car Club (NACCC) July - Sept Newfoundland Antique and Classic Car Club (NACCC) July - Sept. 2008 2007 / 08 Year End Report Or it could be called the “Rear End Report” Have a guess who? How many Newfie mechanics does it take to fix a car? President’s Message Where did the summer go? It will soon be time to put our cars away for another winter. Although the weather wasn’t very cooperative few shows were attended in and around the city. Classic Wheels 2008 was a success as in past years. From the proceeds, presentations will be made to Easter Seals and the VOCM Cares Foundation. Two scholarships were awarded as part of the 1 st . Annual NACCC Scholarship Program. The Bergs Run was attended by more than a dozen children with their parents or chaperons from Easter Seals. Before the season comes to an end we have another chance to show our cars at the 2 nd . Annual Ladies Show and Wheels of Summer in Clarenville. As NACCC President for 2007/08 I would like to thank the NACCC Executive for their dedication and hard work. It has been my pleasure to represent the NACCC and its members. I hope you enjoyed the cruisin’ season. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Newfoundland Antique & Classic Car Club 1 NACCC Committees – 2007 / 08 Executive Committee: President: Jack Hill Vice President: Harold Howlett Treasurer: Moira Farrell Secretary: Moira Farrell / Brenda Hollohan Social Director: Cindy Howlett Past President: Connie Hilliard Newsletter: Moira Farrell Sick Committee: Richard Kearley Merchandise: Ron Snow Webmaster: Ed Farrell, Jr. Year-end Financial Report NACCC had a successful year with 145 paid members six of whom were new members.

We hope to receive applications for 2008/09 by December 2008 for presentation in early 2009. A copy of the application form is attached to this newsletter. Gallery Pictures from the various events are too numerous and would be too costly to print for this newsletter.

The presentations gave everyone a clear understanding of the goals and successes of each charity. Jack expressed his thanks and said NACCC is proud to be a supporter of the great work being done by both organizations. New Secretary Jack informed members Brenda Hollohan has volunteered for the position of club secretary and he thanked Brenda for her support. Brenda will begin these duties at the June meeting. Social Events Update Cindy Howlett said ticket sales seem to be slow for the Classic Wheels. Easter Seals took 250 tickets to help with sales. Cindy said she has applications for the Marystown and Southern Shore Shows. She reminded members that donations of soup, chili, etc. would be very welcome for the hospitality room at the Glacier. Orders are being taken for the golf shirts with the club logo at a cost of $20 each. Sick Committee Jack offered condolences to the Kennell family regarding the passing of their daughter. Due to the late posting in the newspaper Richard was unable to attend the funeral services. He asked to have a donation forwarded to the SPCA on behalf of NACCC. Richard also informed members of an award received by Jim and Helen Ryan’s son. This was a bravery medal for service in Afghanistan. Congratulations and thanks were extended by Jack for NACCC. New Business Applications for five new members were submitted. All were accepted. Jack says there are only 3 booths reserved for the car show this year. He asked if anyone was interested in a smaller advertisement such as a banner or table. The use of the A&W bear costume has been confirmed. He thanked John and Eileen Dwyer for their generous donation of a pair of earrings to be put on tickets. A neon sign donated by Scott Bartlett of A&W, Mount Pearl, will also be put up on tickets. Unfortunately, Black River will not be available to play at the show this year. Jack thanked the band for their support in previous years. Wayne Tucker and Albert Ford agreed to be ticket counters again. Ken Guest asked if antique bikes would be welcomed at the show. He said John Meaney has several old bikes too that might be of interest. There were no objections. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Newfoundland Antique & Classic Car Club 4 Jack informed members of a sick child who wanted to involved in the show this year. To ensure the privacy of the child’s medical condition, Jack did not go into detail. More information will be forthcoming. Adjournment There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:40 p.m. on a motion from Albert Ford, seconded by Ed Farrell, Sr. ______________________________________________________________________________ Newfoundland Antique and Classic Car Club Regular Monthly Meeting June 11, 2008 Executive in Attendance President John Hill Vice-President Harold Howlett Treasurer Moira Farrell Social Director Cindy Howlett Past President Connie Hilliard The meeting opened at 8:10 p.m. with 29 members in attendance. Minutes of the May 14 th . meeting were read by Jack Hill. These were adopted on a motion from Dave Percy, seconded by Bill Aiken. Opening Jack gave an overview of Classic Wheels 2008. He said that although there were only a couple of booths this year the show was still a success. This was partly due to the donations of the A&W sign and the Coke cooker both of which were put up on tickets. Jack expressed gratitude to those who prepared food for the hospitality room and to all members who helped with ticket sales, etc. Special thanks were given to Albert Ford, Ron Snow, Tom Hollett and Connie Hilliard. New Members Applications were received for 2 new members: Gerald and Lynnette Biddiscombe Jerome and Christine Quigley. Both applications were accepted. Other Business Some members questioned if the show next year could be held earlier. Albert Ford thought we should try to get a better price for the rental of the Glacier. Richard Kearley spoke about the problems encountered with the music for the bbq. Thanks were extended to Harold Howlett for operating the music system to make the dance a success. Richard and others said the club should not book Smart Sound for any future events. Harold offered to play music for future events _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Newfoundland Antique & Classic Car Club 5 using his own laptop. Tom Hollett said the club could buy their own speakers. This will be checked into and brought up again a future meeting. Harold said in the future there will be cost agreement will be signed for hall rental and drink prices. Members suggested the Legion as the location for future bbqs and the car show dance. This will be looked at pending the date of the show. Jack said for future car shows a special feature and canvassing for sponsors would be a good idea. Members should consider this and come up with suggestions. Sick Committee Richard did not have any illness to report at this meeting. Adjournment There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:05p.m. on a motion from Ed Farrell, seconded by Tom Hollett. No meetings were held in July or August.

  • NSN June 2019 B
    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.
