The candidate Kamlitz, Brian Specht, Gary & Margaret must be a natural born citizen of at least 35 years of age. P a g e | 4 However, one girl in the class immediately started in on how unfair it was of the requirement to be a natural born citizen. In short, her opinion was that this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming president. The class was taking it in and letting her rant, and not many jaws hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by stating... "What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by C-section?" Yep, these are the same kinds of 18-year-olds that are now voting in our elections! They breed, and they walk among us. Lord, we need more help than we realized!!! 2016 JAMES VALLEY STREET MACHINES 103 Members in attendance. Every year CHRISTMAS the party gets bigger & bigger.

    AUTOMOTIVE HISTORIES DRIVING FUTURES Inaugural conference of Automotive Historians Australia hosted by RMIT Design Archives RMIT School of Architecture and Design, Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture Monash University Melbourne, Australia 1– 3 September 2016 CONFERENCE PAPER ABSTRACTS OIn conference program order Laura Belik - Parsons: The New School for Design, USA Cities to whom, by whom? The Minhocao elevated highway case study in São Paulo/ Brazil Abstract São Paulo of the 20th century was a city built for cars. The Avenue Plan ruled how the city would grow, and consequently, how its population would live. Amongst other consequences, the city slowly lost access to public spaces and to a more humanized scale. Nowadays this situation has been facing some changes: people started to claim for new uses of the built environment engaging with concepts of spatial democracy. This paper will explore one case study within São Paulo (Brazil): The Minhocão, a soon-to-be deactivated elevated highway, and the debates involving a range of actors over the future of the structure. Considering urban land as a commodity, especially when it comes to its road system, it is difficult to separate the uses of any space without understanding them as a repercussion of the power of capital or governing influences. The main challenge is to understand how to make public spaces and the cities more democratic, and, in this sense, how to recognize the potential city spaces can have. A city that was once ruled by the automotive planning, today is repurposing itself through popular demands. But the palimpsest of an era will prevail in its landscape.

Nicholas Moran 11/25/16 The American Nightmare: The Ford Edsel Flop and Sputnik Terror With fears mounting that Communism would establish a foothold in the Americas, American officials stood in horror as a communist-led attack on American tariffs in 1958 caused “US prestige [to become] extremely low [in Peru] lately.” Trying to calm the raging storm, Vice President Richard Nixon travelled to Lima, Peru to clear up a “shocking misunderstanding of United States policies.” Hoping to showcase “US prestige,” Nixon decided to parade through the streets of Lima in the car of the future, the Ford Edsel. Instead Nixon was greeted by “2,000 jeering, fist shaking youths and adults,” as Nixon’s Edsel was pelted with “a Communist barrage of…stones, eggs, and oranges.”1 When reporters asked about the incident later, a bruised and bloodied “Nixon joked ‘they were throwing eggs at the car, not me.’”2 Ironically there was some truth to this joke, but the reason why would horrify the Vice President.

  • Chrysler Brand Heritage Chronology
    Contact: Brandt Rosenbusch Chrysler Brand Heritage Chronology 1875-1912: Kansas-born Walter Chrysler, son of a locomotive engineer, was connected to the transportation industries throughout his life. His love of machinery prompted him to forsake a college education for a machinist’s apprenticeship, and his early career comprised numerous mechanical jobs in the railroad industry. 1912-1920: In 1912, Chrysler joined General Motors as manager of its Buick manufacturing plant, becoming president of the Buick division four years later. After parting ways with GM in 1919, Chrysler began a second career as a “doctor of ailing automakers,” strengthening first Willys-Overland, then the Maxwell Motor Corporation. 1920-1924: Chrysler teamed up with three ex-Studebaker engineers, Fred Zeder, Owen Skelton and Carl Breer, to design a revolutionary new car. They defined what the products of the Chrysler brand would be – affordable “luxury” vehicles known for innovative, top-flight engineering. 1924: The first was the 1924 Chrysler Six, an all-new car priced at $1,565 that featured two significant innovations – a light, powerful, high-compression six-cylinder engine and the first use of four-wheel hydraulic brakes in a moderately priced vehicle. The well-equipped Chrysler Six also featured aluminum pistons, replaceable oil and air filters, full- pressure lubrication, tubular front axles, shock absorbers and indirect interior lighting. 1925: After securing a $5,000,000 loan to start production, Chrysler sold over 32,000 units of the Chrysler Six in its first year. The Maxwell company soon had a new name: Chrysler Corporation. In 1925, the firm boasted more than 3, 800 dealers, sold over 100,000 cars and ranked fifth in the industry.

  • Generations R7
    Chrysler 300 History First Generation: 1955-1956 Officially offered for sale on February 10, 1955, the first Chrysler 300 was athletic- looking, but it didn’t have a letter at the end of its name. With 300 horsepower aboard, it was among the quickest cars of its time, getting to 60 mph in just 9.8 seconds, according to a test in Mechanix Illustrated by “Uncle Tom” McCahill, who also spurred the car up to a full 130 mph. Tom McCahill and others in the contemporary automotive press used the term “Beautiful Brutes” to describe Chrysler 300 series cars. But beyond being the most powerful production car of its time, the first Chrysler 300 was also among the best handling thanks to a heavy- duty suspension and can be considered one of the muscle car's ancestors, though much more expensive and exclusive. It was also very luxurious and handsome in a bulky linebacker sort of way. But the most prominent display of the first 300’s attributes didn’t come in any showroom, but on racetracks around the Southeast. Back in ‘55, NASCAR stock cars were in fact stock production vehicles and, except for some crude safety equipment and numbers on the doors, almost indistinguishable from the cars the public could buy. With absolutely no support from Chrysler, Mercury Outboard founder Carl Kiekhaefer campaigned a fleet of white 300s during the 1955 NASCAR Grand National season with drivers like the Flock brothers (Tim, Fonty and Bob) and Norm Nelson behind the wheel. The Kiekhaefer 300s were spectacularly dominant and overwhelmed the factory- backed Chevrolets and Fords.
