2 Memorial Drive, KCMO 64108

The Great Car Show at the National WWI Museum and Memorial

www.thegreatcarshow.com

Registration was opened May 1st and they typically “sell out” of the 450 allotted spaces. This will likely

be the biggest and best traditional car show of the year. We want to make a big showing of our Chapter

so let’s get out there and register lots of our cars. When you go on line to register, use our Car Club

Code MAAACA19 for a $4.00 discount. Eight members signed up at the May meeting. Even though

as of June 28th there are still apparently spaces available - DO NOT hesitate—it will sell out,

We are still asking for a few members to assist with show layout beginning at 5:30 am July 21st. Roscoe

is coordinating this portion of the show, please contact him if you can help.

The show is presented by Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City. Additional sponsors include Santa Fe Tow,

Hagerty Classic Cars, Pete & Jake’s Hot Rod Parts and numerous other businesses.

Proceeds from the show benefit the WW1 Memorial and Museum as well as the Kansas City Auto Mu-

seum. For more information contact Jack Boyle at [email protected]

Jack & Penny’s Chrysler

McPherson College C.A.R.S. Show

On May 3, 2019 Penny and I headed to Lawrence, Kansas to do our duty directing traffic and taking

money for swap meet parking. We then headed straight for the McPherson College C.A.R.S. (student)

Auto Club show in McPherson Kansas. It was a wonderful day and we enjoyed driving our

1955 Chrysler 300 on its last trip before restoration begins.

It was a beautiful partly sunny day for a drive across central Kansas through the edge of the Flint Hills

and the tall grass prairie. We intentionally took the 2-lane highways off the beaten path in our route plan

to McPherson.

The show weekend begins on Friday night with a cruise in downtown. Three city blocks of Main Street

are blocked off and cars from the surrounding area, student’s cars, show cars and many unusual creations

show up. People wandered through the cars in period costumes or what might have been an attempt at

period costumes.

The show happens only on Saturday which is also unfortunately the big day for the Lawrence swap meet,

I wonder what kind of conflict this causes for both events to have 2 major collector car events within 100

miles of each other on the same day? The day of the show was foggy in the morning, but the fog burned

off early in the day and it was a spectacular sunny day with temperatures in the 70s.

Hundreds of cars graced the grass fields in the central quad of the campus with cars ranging from the

1900’s to the 1990’s and everything in between. Of particular note was a Dietrich bodied Franklin that

was shown by a member of the long-time owner's family. It was a spectacular car with a spectacular res-

toration.

Other highlights included a

fantastic, highly optioned

1955 Mercury convert as well

as the feature cars around the

gazebo at the center of the

show field.

NOVI Indy Car

All through the show the jazz band and the orchestra from McPherson college played songs and dance

music. The majority of the musicians are enrolled in the auto restoration program. When it came time for

the national anthem the band performed it flawlessly and the vocals were provided by the show’s guest

of honor, noted car collector and appraiser Donald Osborne. Another noteworthy attendee at the show

was Tom Cotter. Many of you may know from the Hagerty insurance video series Barn Finds. Tom was

there with his cobra roadster, but he was also showing a recent restoration and modification project from

a school in Texas.

There was also a speech given at a banquet by

Donald Osborne, which we did not attend but

we did see Mr. Osborne several times during

the day at the show on Saturday. By the way,

as proof that Penny is really a “car guy” at

heart, the show on Saturday was also our 45th

wedding anniversary.

Sunday morning on our way home we decided to take a different 2-lane

route up through Abilene and visit the Eisenhower museum and library.

We also stopped by an antique store to check out what central Kansas

antique stores have to offer. We did see one interesting artifact. How

many of you remember these “think” signs and what their purpose was?

We also stopped at the Brookville Hotel in Abilene for a fried chicken

dinner and then headed home on the Interstate (boring) then jumped

back on the 2-lane at Topeka.

I plan on writing a letter to the McPherson Car Club and mention to

them that we enjoy their show a great deal and it already attracts a great

number of interesting cars and interesting people. But it is unfortunate

that the show occurs on the same weekend as the swap meet in Law-

rence. As you know the swap meet in Lawrence has been going on for

more than a half a century and I wonder if maybe the McPherson show

could move their date by a week and avoid the conflict.

We had a great time and plan on attending again in the future including swinging by the old Swedish

town of Lindsborg to see the 100-year-old flower mail run on the same weekend.

AACA Annual Grand National Preparation

Getting ready for the Annual Grand National can be a daunting task. The award process on the road to

Grand National is interesting: There are three Junior award classes: 3rd, 2nd, 1st. You must secure a 1st

Junior to move to Senior judging. Once you receive Senior status (only one class) you move to Grand

National, judging where again there are 3rd 2nd, 1st place awards. When you secure a 1st Grand Na-

tional Award, you can then move to Senior Grand National Award—the highest trophy awarded. After

that you receive brass stamps to add to your trophy for maintaining your car’s restoration.

The preparation, time and labor of love that goes into Grand National readiness is a story in itself. Here

is the story of one little 1940 Plymouth’s journey.

2014: Cedar Rapids, Iowa AACA Regional

Bonnie Johnson attends Judging School. She is shocked by all the deductions her car could receive. She

decides to keep her Plymouth in the trailer. Herb Oakes, National AACA President (since deceased) and

Hulon McCraw, Vice-President Class Judging, urge her to enter. She does and the result is a 2nd Junior.

2017: The Johnsons ask Radfords (AACA Judges for many years) to pre-judge the Plymouth. David

Johnson (son) corrects the deduction list and Dennis Roberts, pulls the engine and removed, sandblasted

and painted everything from the radiator to the rear bumper.

2017: Auburn, Indiana AACA Regional

Plymouth wins 1st Junior. Bonnie was so excited she left her purse in the banquet room but, of course,

she remembered her trophy. Rumor is the trophy slept between Bonnie and Bill that night.

2017: Bettendorf, Iowa AACA Regional (yes, 2 Regionals in one year—now that’s commitment)

Hurray! Plymouth wins its Senior AACA Award

2019: Auburn, Indiana Annual Grand National

… and now the rest of the story.

1958 Austin Healey on the show field

Bob Ehringer & friend, Ruth Blick

On Thursday May 30, 2019, Bill/Bonnie Johnson with Jerry Rau driving, Dennis/Linda Radford, Ron/

Sarah Jury and son headed to Auburn. Jerry and Dennis checked to see that I-70 was clear and deter-

mined we could make the trip in just under 10 hours. Since Roscoe was picking up friends in St. Joseph,

he decided to take Highway 36. With over 400 Missouri high-water road closures and GPS clueless

about the closures, Roscoe and friends toured Iowa and Illinois, making the trip in 16 hours. Their saga

was hilarious. We had some good laughs at Roscoe’s expense.

Friday was registration. We had our choice of things to do right on/near the show field. With 361 entries,

every row was a new adventure. Next to the show field RM Auction was a fun spot to drop in to see cars

being auctioned. The huge swap meet was most interesting.

We were all thrilled that all 16 Zenith cars were on display. So what is a

a Zenith car? Each year a special National judging team attends every

AACA show during the season. Out of the 3,300 cars, the National

team choose 2 cars from each show and then narrow it down to the 16

best restorations of the year. The team then chooses the number one

Zenith winner. Friday afternoon at Auburn the winner was announced.

The top Zenith was awarded to a 1931 Buick 8-94 Sport Roadster. We

all agreed picking the winner was quite a task.

Bob Ehringer & friend, Ruth Blick

Friday everyone landed at Bonnie and Bill’s hotel room for socializing That evening we made a pack

that what ever happened, we would celebrate Saturday night. Saturday was hot, humid with a good

chance of rain. However, the rain held off and the humidity didn’t spoil our good time or help our nerv-

ous excitement.

Saturday night at the RM Auction barn, the banquet

was a barbeque dinner (not our hometown barbeque)

so some of us opted for the Radford’s recommenda-

tion - Sandra D’s family owned Italian restaurant.

Sandra manages the restaurant and her husband does

the cooking.

Momma Mia delizioso!!!

After dinner, we headed back to the auction barn for the award presentation.

And the winners are:

Church of the Resurrection Car Show 2019

In the wee hours of Saturday morning June 22nd the rains came. However, the skies cleared by 9:00

o'clock and the Church of the Resurrection car show went on as scheduled. Eight hardy members braved

the elements of the ten MA-AACA members that had registered for the COR show. In fact, late in the

day as the clouds cleared completely it got very warm and very humid. Those that showed their cars in-

cluded Jerry Cygan, Karl Roscoe, Paul Williamson, Tom Webush, Jack and Jane King, Barry Herbert,

Gary Crispin and Jack Boyle plus a mystery Studebaker pick-up.

Much of the day was spent discussing the world's problems including old cars with those in attendance.

We also discussed at length the best pork tenderloin in KC – with no clear winner although Jack and Gary

went on a fact-finding mission later in the day.

Those present passed out membership applications and free copies of the AACA Antique Automobile

magazine to prospective members throughout the day.

The report on the awards presentation for MA-AACA participants will be short and sweet as none of our

cars exhibited signed up to be judged – so none of them won. What a surprise.

All-in-all it was a nice day with nice people, nice cars and to those that didn't make it we understand how

daunting the weather can be and changes from one part of KC to another.

We hope to see you all at the WW1 show on July 21st.

REMINDER: Please visit our new web site www.midamericaaaca.com We still need a volunteer

who will be the club Web Coordinator. This involves updating our meeting date, uploading The Gen-

erator each month, adding/deleting pictures. It isn’t a difficult task and won’t take much time. Jack will

go over the process for the site and will be available to answer any questions. PLEASE HELP! Contact

Jack at [email protected] or call 913-544-4650.

Hi Members—well I am still working on the survey. It will be a short survey that is why it is taking me

longer than expected. Please watch for it. Thanks for your patience Martie Kernodle

Classic Motorsports magazine did a comparison of spray detailers. I am sure we all have our favorites.

Can you guess which spray detailers were the top three? Well here they are:

Griot’s Garage Speed Shine - best for price and availability

Available in most auto parts stores in addition to Griot’s online shop and print catalog.

Qualities: Now in a clear bottle so it’s easier to see how much product remains. It has a pleasant, clean smell–

maybe cherry.

Cleaning: Cleaned well, leaving behind a smooth finish. Clearly the glossiest detailer we tested.

Who’s Magic Solution - available on line Sold in a white, generic bottle, this is not a flashy product. Sales are handled through their website.

Qualities: No scent at all. Sprays on with a waxy feel.

Cleaning: Superior gloss with some scratch-filling quality. The most surprising product of our test.

Meguiar’s Ultimate Quik Detailer Mist & Wipe - a little bit more expensive

The old standard in the maroon bottle.

Qualities: Blue liquid with a bubblegum scent.

Cleaning: Worked well, leaving an average shine. Harmless. Average gloss.

REMINDER: Membership for National and Local AACA, beginning June 1 is 1/2 price —$20 for Na-

tional and $12.50 for local dues This is a great time to get friends/acquaintances involved in AACA.

October 1 - December 31 is full cost ($40/$25), but this includes the following year. Please remember that 1st

time members who are Veterans get National & Local dues paid the first year.
