Not been going through some changes and challenges in the past so much fun that we can’t get our cars out and enjoy them, but year or so. We’ve had some great people step back from their a time where we can enjoy the hobby in different ways. roles leaving some positions to fill, had some great new people step up to learn their roles, and of course everyone has their It’s this time of year for me where I get to enjoy another – maybe own lives that can get in the way of the hobby at times. even bigger – part of the hobby. I enjoy getting Christmas cards from ‘car’ friends, and seeing photos posted online of my None of this is meant to be an excuse, but rather an friends with their families. We are so used to seeing everyone in acknowledgment. I can assure you that the Board and executive a car show context that getting to see each other in other facets leadership have not been sitting idle during all of this; in fact, of life is very nice. There are a few chapters that still do nice we’ve been pretty busy working on a few projects that will help Christmas dinners and share photos that I love seeing. move the club forward in the coming years. The truth is - AMO needs to grow and adapt with the times just as we all do. Our This is a time of year where I find myself reflecting on the past members communicate differently now than they did even 5 year and counting my blessings more often than I do at other years ago, and it is up to the club to keep up. times of the year. I count all the great friends I’ve made in this hobby among those blessings, for sure. From letters, to email to Another area which always draws a strong response is judging. text messages of encouragement and life updates throughout I know there are issues with judging, and not all of them are the year, the people of the hobby are a family, and it goes much easily remedied. The Concours rules have been updated over deeper than our shared love of the hobby. the past several years and addressed a lot of issues, and I suspect there are more changes coming to help make the judging process smoother and more consistent. I know we say it all the time, but the best way to make these changes and grow the club is with your involvement. It can be in many forms – submitting articles for the newsletter about your car or an event your club put on, running for a Board position, offering ideas to the club for ways of improving meets, reaching out to see how your particular skills could benefit the club... the list goes on and on. We have several positions open for members willing to help in different areas, and I’d be happy to discuss the requirements with anyone interested in learning more. No positions are lifetime appointments, and we all understand that the work of the club isn’t your first and only concern. So, as we move into 2018 and plan to all meet again at club meetings, regional meets and the International Convention in Auburn, take a moment to consider how lucky we all are to have this great hobby that ties our lives together!

    “Kaiser Flyer # 5” Joseph W. (Jeeps) Frazer Joseph W. Frazer was the automobile “expert” part of the Kaiser-Frazer Corporation. He was respected by the Detroit “in” crowd and was well-known as an outstanding automotive expert and salesman. He was born in Nashville, Tenn in 1892 into a well-to-do family. His brother operated a Packard Agency in Nashville and young Joe would doodle with drawing pictures of cars during his school days. He could have started his working career at various high- salary jobs in an executive position in other industries but chose instead to begin work at Packard as a mechanic’s helper at less than 20 cents per hour. He wanted to be close to his love - Joseph W. Frazer in his Willow Run Office early 1946 automobiles. Although he was very successful in several aspects of the automobile business, including starting the first technical school for automotive mechanics, his heart was always in sales and promotion. He sold Packard motor cars in New York and at his brother’s Nashville dealership and by the end of World War I he was ready to begin his quest for making his mark on the automobile industry. He first took an opportunity at GM’s Chevrolet Division in sales. He was soon promoted into the GM Export Division as Treasurer and helped to organize the General Motors Acceptance Division, one of the first strictly automobile credit agencies established in the country. GM later loaned Joe to Pierce-Arrow to assist them in creating their own credit agency.

    1968 AMC AMX Rally Car PRICE £100,000

    1968 AMC AMX Rally Car PRICE £100,000 ABOUT THIS CAR IDEAL FOR USE ON: Flying Scotsman, Himalayan Challenge, Trans America, Rally Round Africa, Paris to Amsterdam, The 4th Alpine Trial, Slartibartfast, Maharaja Marathon, Peking to Paris, Flight of the Condor Rally Preparation Services is pleased to offer this 1968 AMC AMX classic car for sale. This long-distance endurance rally car was stripped to a bare shell before being purpose built for the 2016 Peking to Paris Motor Challenge, a now famous endurance rally. There is no doubt that in the right hands, this is a potential rally winner. AMC (American Motor Corporation) was formed by the merger of Nash Kelvinator (as in fridges) and the Hudson Motor Co. in 1954 and soon competed with the big three despite being a much smaller company. Innovative engineering such as tandem master cylinders and manufacturing practices such as shared componentry helped the company compete along with the far-sighted purchase of Jeep. A largely unsuccessful merger with Renault followed the eventual absorption by the Chrysler Corporation which phased out the AMC brand by the late 1980s. The AMX was a mix of sports car and muscle car. Production ran for just three years from 1968 to 1970 and was unique in being the only steel constructed two seater car made in America at the time and voted ‘Best Engineered Car of the Year’ in 1969 and 1970 by the American Society of Automotive Engineers. Rally preparation includes a bespoke roll-cage which follows modern practice of reinforcing the bodyshell and suspension pick up points.
