PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
As I sit here typing this newsletter, the world is a different place. Life as we know it is different and shocking. I was worried about our members in Australia who were battling the terrible wild fires and wondering how many old cars were destroyed. Little did I know a month later I would be thinking about all the older Plymouth owners with antiques who might be lost to this pandemic along with their knowledge.
On the bright side, if you are quarantined, it doesn’t mean you can’t take that old car out for a ride into the country for a walk in the fresh air. Then again, working in your garage on that occasional “problem” will actually “get you out of the house” ! We all hope to be able to get back to our fun meetings soon.
In the Detroit newsletter, Russ Nardi reported on the National Board meeting. They are considering changing the National constitution from 3 meets per year to one, thereby providing more money to help the club that hosts the meet. Some modified class changes were also discussed, Specifically regarding non-Mopar engines. After the board updates the national constitution, we will update our by-laws. Right now, we welcome all Chrysler product cars and trucks.
APRIL 19th = Trip to Springfield museums cancelled .
MAY 17 is still planned as a tech day at Bruce Nichols. We all hope that things have improved by then.
If any of you have some interesting vehicle problems, stories, etc. get on your email and tell us about it and ask for comments. People have plenty of time to answer. As for us, Don has been working on his 1919 Dodge Bros. touring car. He found lots of burned wiring , the ignition switch installed backwards, no emergency brake and the horn was falling apart. It is a big project with scant helpful knowledge , but he is making progress. He also bought an old David Brown tractor from a retired farmer and is trying to get it working again. It might be from the 60s or 70s and a major project, but he loves a challenge.
Keep safe, Judy
