From the President Cover Car FROM THE PRESIDENT Whatever happened to 55? Everyone probably thinks I'm referring to someone's age. Nope that’s not it. Not the number of pennies in a roll either. I’m referring to the speed limit on most of our major highways. It won't be long until you will get a ticket for driving too slow at 55. The old 55 has evolved into the new 75 or faster. Most of us travel down the 30 bypass daily only to discover we are being passed by everyone and everything at warp speed. I am even starting to see dogs wearing crash helmets, their slobber hitting cars at least 3 miles back because of the excessive speed their owners travel. I noticed there is now a push button option offered on all new cars able to start a rocket booster just to help you merge into the flow of traffic on those new and improved ramps. They have also eliminated all the yield signs and replaced them with new signs that say ‘enter at your own risk.’ Another thing I was wondering, is there a new law that says you can now pass on the side of the road? It doesn't really matter where you pass just don't slow down when you do. The only real problem is that in the future what is going to replace 75? Have a great day and happy motoring! COVER CAR – 1936 PACKARD 120 CONVERTIBLE SEDAN Restored under the direction of former owner Peter Grace, of Drexel Hill PA. First Junior Winner; AACA show; Hershey PA 2011. The 120, brought out in 1935, was Packard’s first entry into the mid-level 8 cylinder car market. Features include: In Line 8 Cylinder engine 120 BHP 282 cubic inches, 3 speed synchromesh transmission, Safe-t- Flex independent front suspension, Wheelbase 120”, Weight 3660lbs. The most expensive of the 120 models, The Convertible Sedan, was priced at $1395.00. Currently owned by Louis and Barbara Mandich. As a Boy scout with troop #74 in Coatesville PA in the late 1950s- our troop vehicle was a 1934 Packard Hearse/ Ambulance which had been donated to the troop by S. Paul Roberts Funeral Home. As may be imagined - I was always ready to collect old newspapers from our leaning garage warehouse fill the back of the hearse with them and go to Downingtown in the Hearse to recycle them at the paper mill. Just about the time we moved from Coatesville- the Hearse was sold to Coatesville Scrap Iron Co. for $14.00 as it had blown several tires and (apparently) they were not easily obtained. I was 15 at the time and as we shuttled back and forth from Coatesville to our new home outside of Kennett Square we would pass the old girl sitting forlornly there awaiting a rescue that never came despite my entreaties to my parents. It seemed I would never own a Packard. All these years later, through the generosity of my friend Peter Grace, I was able to sell my MGTF and buy this Packard. I did not think my wife would mind as it followed the one in- one out- rule- and her grandparents had owned Packards. As most of you know this car is out of character for me, far too nice and nearly a “trailer queen” but I don’t have a trailer. My intentions are to maintain it while enjoying it. It drives as it must have when new. So I’ll be careful.

Jack & Joyce R/L ANTIQUE AUTO TRUNK I would like to tell you about an Antique Car Trunk that is in my booth at the Milkhouse. I believe it's around 1920-30 vintage. It's black, original lining, opens on the front - top and bottom flaps, rivets on the outside. Attaches to a rack at the back of the car. Very, very, good condition. I thought some of the club's antique car owners would like to take a look at it. My booth is in the middle of the third elevated row, anyone can direct you to it, Booth HOP.

  • Tesla Electric Roadster – Powered by Copper GONE but NOT
    Tesla Electric Roadster – Powered by Copper Electric-powered cars have long been a dream for sci-fi writers, energy producers and automotive enthusiasts. In concept, this goal seems easily attainable, but for years inventors, entrepreneurs, and manufacturers alike have tried and ultimately failed to design a reliable and economically attractive electric vehicle. While the recent introduction of gas-electric hybrids has brought the vision closer to reality, the all-electric automobile has steadfastly remained a distant point on our automotive horizon. This may be about to change. In July, Tesla Motors, a three-year old startup company based in San Carlos, California, introduced a prototype of its first all-electric automobile, the Tesla Roadster. A true sports car, the Roadster is hand-built, sleekly designed, fast and nimble. It boasts a range of 250 miles with a top speed of 130 mph. The company plans an initial production run of 100 vehicles at a cost of $100,000 per car, with the first automobile slated for delivery in the summer of 2007. Tesla Motors is the first of a number of enterprising companies who are bringing electric automobiles to the marketplace. The Tesla Roadster is also the first commercially available automobile to incorporate an electric motor powered by a copper motor rotor. This innovative advancement in metallurgical technology increases efficiency, resulting in greater overall power and longer operating distances between charges. GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN Tesla Motors takes its name from Nikola Tesla, a brilliant pioneer in electrical research. Tesla was fascinated by the potential of electric automobiles, and in 1930 he tested his theories with a car that achieved a top speed of 90 miles an hour.

  • 2021 Thunder Roadster Rules
    Thunder Roadster Official 2021 National Rules (Rules subject to change) May 18, 2021, Version 2.2c © 2019–2021 (Note: Latest revisions are in blue font, and all previous revisions are in green) 1. Introduction The Thunder Roadster Series was created to meet the needs of competitors seeking a low-cost platform utilizing the purpose-built Thunder Roadster chassis and specified parts designed and manufactured by U.S. Legend Cars International. The series focus is on fun, safe, and affordable racing while encouraging driver development, close competition, and comradery between its competitors. 2. Intent The intent of the rules is to establish a clear precedent for discouraging creative interpretation and instead encouraging a ‘showcase’ of driving skill. The series rules seek to eliminate frivolous spending by utilizing specified parts from U.S. Legend Cars International including chassis, body, suspension, brake and engine parts available through authorized dealers or aftermarket suppliers. Other than the modifications specifically allowed in these rules, every part of the car must remain as it came from the factory. The Thunder Roadster is intended to be raced in its preferred class, Thunder Roadster (TR) and may also compete in the appropriate Super Touring (ST) and Time Trial (TT) classes. 3. Sanctioning Body The National Auto Sport Association (NASA) sanctions the Thunder Roadster Series competitions. All decisions made by the series administration are final, except under certain Thunder Roadster Rules 2021 2.2 1 conditions, as specified by the NASA CCR. It is also mandatory that all Thunder Roadster Series competitors have both a current copy of the CCR and the Thunder Roadster Series rules with them during all race events.
