CHEVROLETTER June 2020
CHEVROLETTER June 2020 Vol 2020 Issue 6.0 Director’s Report June 2020 I hope the beginning of June finds all our members in good health and managing the sheltering in place restrictions. New Covid-19 rates on Long Island are down over 90% compared to our worst times so we must be making a difference. I do not know how the lower infection rates and Cuomo’s planned phases will affect the remainder of the 2020 car show season. The AACA has cancelled their major event at Hershey in October. this is the first time since Hershey will not be having a swap meet and car corral. I am told there is still a possibility of having the vehicle judging on Saturday. Carlisle rescheduled their spring event and are hoping to hold more swap meets as soon as conditions allow. People are getting very innovative to enjoy their cars in a safe a responsible way. I have seen groups of cars at Sunken Meadow Park with a circle of guys socially distanced and chatting. My Wednesday Bagel Chalet group now meets in the parking lot with their cars. I have been in a few rolling car shows thru local neighborhoods to give the residents a bit of a lift. Our club member, Peter Sarros planned a commemorative run thru Huntington Hospital to thank all the front line workers. What started as a small event quickly grew into a multi club event and food drive for the Huntington Cares foundation. There were over 80 cars in attendance, a motorcycle color guard and a police presence to control traffic. -
1941 Buick Roadmaster Sedan from North Carolina by Earl D
The Story of our 1941 Buick Roadmaster sedan from North Carolina By Earl D. Beauchamp, Jr. If I had to go back to the very beginning, it would be 1952 when I was 14 years old. That is when I first became virally interested in old cars. Now old cars, to me, were the years I remembered during my short lifetime, which was the 1930s and 1940s. Most of the books and magazines of the time, specifically MOTOR TREND, dealt with cars specified as “Classic Cars”, as defined by the fledgling Classic Car Club of America (CCCA). I religiously read Robert Gottlieb’s monthly column called “Classic Comments”. Around 1953 Mr. Gottlieb wrote and published a book called “Classic Cars”. I believe it was in that book where he made the statement that “no Buick was ever a “Classic Car” or something to that effect. Well, my family was a Buick family, or had been until hard times caused my parents to trade their 1939 Buick in on a 1951 Plymouth (in 1958 they went back to Buick for the rest of their lives). That statement by Mr. Gottlieb stuck in my young craw, and I never got over it. In 1955 I was allowed to get my first car, and it was a 1939 Buick Special sedan optionalized with dual sidemount fenders and a full pleated leather interior. It had belonged to a family friend. Now, I was convinced this car had to be a “Full Classic” and I wrote to Mr. Gottlieb and asked him. Then, in 1956 he wrote a second book called “Classics and Special Interest Cars.” Although he never answered my letter; in that book he mentioned a car like mine and said it was not a “Classic” but would be considered a “Special Interest Car”. -

As part of its mission to reduce fatalities and injuries, since model year 2001 NHTSA has included rollover information as part of its NCAP ratings. One of the primary means of assessing rollover risk is the static stability factor (SSF), a measurement of a vehicle’s resistance to rollover. The higher the SSF, the lower the rollover risk. -

Jack & Lynne Heacock's 1957 Oldsmobile
www.sandiegoregion.aaca.com Jack & Lynne Heacock’s 1957 Oldsmobile ‘98 Holiday Coupe March, 2021 Volume 59 Issue 3 Tale of an Oldsmobile by Jack Heacock Jack presented more of this story and more photos on our February Zoom Meeting. In order for the rest of the region to hear this “tale” this version is presented here. While perusing Craigs List early last year (2020), I came across a listing of an original unrestored 1957 Oldsmobile in a 47-year hibernation in the family’s garage in Billings, Montana. To say the least, I was intrigued. I found the owner (living locally in Escondido, CA) to be very pleasant and straightforward in his description. The car had been purchased by his late father as a 1-year-old car that had been traded in by one of the dealership’s salesman. Interestingly, the new owner had traded in his 1953 DeSoto for $695. This owner (whose family I purchased the car from) had maintained excellent records of everything ever done on the car including the original dealer purchase agreement (just under $3,000). In 1973 the car had an engine failure and was parked in the family garage with 66,229 original miles showing (mileage confirmed by aforementioned receipts). The owner is the executor of his parent’s estate and we came to an agreed price and I attempted to secure a transport for delivery of the car from Montana. My attempts were unsuccessful and because there was a short window to get the car from storage, I transported the car myself with help The owner and his son who I from my son in law and grandson. -
