From 1994-1996 the club saw many transformations and in 1996 the O.A.N.A. was formed in its current form for the purpose of providing a source for locating parts, service, tech-help and a forum to exchange information with other owners of all Opel models from the 1957 Olympia to any gray market imports that are in North America; with a special emphasis on the Opel GT, Manta and Kadett models. Our ultimate goal being to keep the Opel marque a presence in North America, improving the collectiblity of all Opels in North America and most of all have fun doing it. The North American Bitter Registry was formed for the same reasons as The Opel Association, but with the small number of Bitter SC coupes imported into the U.S. and the non-existence of any club to help the owners of these rare and exotic cars, it was determined that our club would be the right place to give assistance to our sister make and help their owners have a place to become interconnected. · Club membership dues: Regular Newsletter membership for U.S. and Canadian members are $30 for a 1 yr ($60 for 3 yrs) Net Only Membership (Members do not get a mailed newsletter, but download it from the net) is $20 for 2 years. · Mail all membership dues and advertising to: The Opel Association of North America - c/o Membership 394 Mystic Ln.

Some had moved and, according to the Post Office, left no forwarding address. So far, although the response has been far from overwhelming, I have received slightly over 10 percent renewals. On 1 March 98 I sent reminder postcards to all members whose membership expired during the month. I plan to continue this procedure in order to remind our members to pay their dues. Our club needs, among other things, our financial support if we are to succeed. Although I started with a zero balance, we had no outstanding bills facing us (except the past generous support provided by Charles). Specifically, we stand as follows: Receipts Expenses Contributions received: $ 100 Paid: Advanced Web Creations $ 74.55 Dues received (renewals): $ 255 (Quarterly Web Site Fee) Dues received (new members): $ 45 Total receipts: $ 400 Total Expenses: $ 74.55 Balance: $ 325.45 Membership renewals New Membership Contributions Fox, Donald C.

(Net-only) Desroches, Thomas Contributions from 1/98 Thomas, Ed Conklin, Chester Rodney A. Misch Branston DiBrell Sincerely, Erik Larsen – OANA Treasurer LETTER FROM THE PREZ Well, since last time we spoke I have gotten a lot of surveys back, had a pow-wow with a good bit of our chapter presidents and club supporters. In that time a lot of decisions have been made. So let us start with the good news. Good news is that it looks as if the treasury is on the mend. Most of this is thanks to our new treasurer, Erik Larsen. Erik should be thanked a million times over for doing this for us. He has not only been great in making sure all that goes into running the financial side of the club is done, he has even gotten us a checking account and our full blown non-profit status. Two things I have been needing to do, but have put off for years. With someone else now controlling the membership list, I won’t be able to let members that have paid their dues support members that haven’t. I had a bad habit of letting unpaid members, especially ones I knew personally, ride for a while until they got around to paying their dues. This was not only wrong but also cost the club money. Also he wont let me make the mistake of thinking the treasury is fat so I can go blow money on such frivolous things as T-shirts, etc. A good number of survey responses mentioned making club merchandise as a cash raising sort of thing. The problem is, that we have done that and not once have we done much better than just breaking even. The Medium news, not good but not bad, is that net memberships will not be life-time as I intended to do. Most of the membership thought that was a bad idea, as did the treasurer. So as of the next newsletter I will go back to changing the password to the website regularly. The good side of this is that net membership will now include a downloadable newsletter. Which in many ways is going to be better than the printed one you get now. This is because the pictures, etc. will be in full color and if you have a color printer, you will get a color newsletter. Also Net members will only cost $20 for 2 years. Which in of itself is a real bargain. The Bad news is that the dues for the newsletter will stay at the $30 per year rate, mentioned last issue, (with a $60 for 3 year option). This way we can keep everyone happy. Most members thought $30 a year was high, but acceptable and a few thought it was too expensive. You can make your choice now as to which way you want to pay and save yourself a few dollars. OR if you lack faith in us living out the next three years, you can just pay in the ordinary one year at a time fashion. On to other news, Carlisle is only two months away. This show is looking to be as big as ever. The show keeps growing and growing and I am sure the weather will be perfect for this show, which will make it even bigger. For those that haven’t been yet, this is a great place to find Opel memorabilia, parts, and camaraderie. Not matter the weather, and there has been some during the show at times, we all still find a way to have a great time. I have been to OMCs picnic the last two years, and it in itself is a great time, put on by a lot of great folks and is a blast. But the Carlisle meet is not like any other meet held by anyone, Opel club or not. Carlisle productions puts on a show that is so much different than and any other kind of car show, it is hard to compare it to anything else. Lets just say that you would be hard pressed to not have a good time at the show. There are over 400 vendors and over 20 different car clubs of various different import makes.

Mr. Hatz, head of transmission and engine development at the Volkswagen Group, was suspended in September. CreditDenis Balibouse/Reuters LONDON — A few months after taking over engine development at Volkswagen in 2007, Wolfgang Hatz faced a potential challenge that he considered insurmountable. It was the State of California. Regulators there were seeking to limit global warming gases released by automobiles, a step never directly taken before in the United States. “We can do quite a bit and we will do a bit, but ‘impossible’ we cannot do,” Mr. Hatz said during a trip to San Francisco that year, where he http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/22/business/international/vw‐executive‐had‐a‐pivotal‐role‐as‐car‐ maker‐struggled‐with‐emissions.html?_r=0 The New York Times 12/21/15 Page | 2 took part in a technology demonstration hosted byVolkswagen. “From my point of view, the C.A.R.B. is not realistic,” he said of the California Air Resources Board, in remarks filmed by an auto website during the event. Of the proposed regulation, he said, “I see it as nearly impossible for us.” In September of this year, Volkswagen, then the world’s largest automaker, admitted to installing software designed to cheat on emissions tests, setting off one of the largest corporate scandals in the industry’s history.

  • Wereldpremière in Detroit
    Persinformatie Opel KAD-serie tentoongesteld op Techno Classica in Essen 50e verjaardag ‘drie groten’ van Opel: Kapitän, Admiral en Diplomat In de jaren zestig en zeventig waren de Kapitän, de Admiral en de Diplomat (de KAD- serie) de drie grote namen in het Opel-gamma. Opel is trots op zijn rijke erfgoed en viert de vijftigste verjaardag van zijn supertrio op de 26e Techno Classica in Essen (26 tot en met 30 maart 2014). Het KAD-gamma verscheen in maart 1964. De drie auto's hadden dezelfde moderne carrosserie, maar elk met zijn eigen uitrusting en motoren. Na vijf jaar werden ze opgevolgd door de B-serie, die toonaangevend was in zijn klasse dankzij geavanceerde ondersteltechniek en nog meer gestroomlijnde vormen. Op de komende Techno Classica legt Opel de link naar het heden met de Insignia Sports Tourer OPC, het huidige topmodel. Opel werkt voor de show samen met de Alt Opel IG, de grootste Opel-club ter wereld. Tien modellen uit twee generaties De tien KAD-modellen die in Essen te bewonderen zijn, vertegenwoordigen de volledige A- en B-series. Met de 2,6-liter zescilindermotor van de Kapitän A betrad Opel in 1964 de premiumklasse. Van de zeldzaamste versie in het gamma, de Kapitän met de 4,6-liter V8-motor uit de Diplomat, zijn slechts 113 exemplaren gemaakt. Ook een zeldzame Admiral V8 is te zien in Essen. De Diplomat A V8 Coupé was een van de snelste auto’s die in 1965 in Duitsland in productie waren. Deze tweedeursversie kostte 25.500 Duitse mark en is gebouwd door carrosseriebouwer Karmann, die zich met de auto richtte op een publiek van 'reizigers met klasse'.

FLANERY ABSTRACT Midcentury American life featured a post-war economy that established a middle class in which disposable income and time for leisure were commonplace. In this socio-economic environment, consumerism flourished, ushering in the Golden Age of the automobile: from 1950 to 1960, Americans spent more time in their automobiles than ever before, and, by the end of the decade, the number of cars on the road had more than doubled. While much critical attention has been given to the role of the automobile in American novels, less has been given to its role in American short stories.

Ils ont reçu le prix des mains des rédacteurs en chef Marion Horn (Bild am Sonntag) et Bernd Wieland (Auto Bild). Le « Volant d’Or » est décerné conjointement par les deux publications.
