2024 Alamance Region Antique Auto Show – May 18, 2024 

We had an absolutely wonderful show for a day with a questionable weather forecast!  We actually did get the 75 degrees and (partially) sunny skies before the rain hit just after our show concluded.  Thanks to all who came out and enjoyed great fellowship and beautiful cars!  Pictures will be uploaded soon.

May 11:  The May meeting was held at the Shiloh Pres. Scout Hut.  Preparations were finalized for our May 18 Antique Auto Show, and updates were made for progress on our land and clubhouse planning.  Ande Shoe was appointed as Project Manager for the clubhouse project, and the contractor for the building was selected.  Problematic trees were removed on May 13, and clearing of the building site is being managed by Butch McKenzie.

January 12 & 13   NC Region Annual Meeting & Seminars, Raleigh, NC.    Several Alamance Region members attended, including Elizabeth and Larry Coble, Rick, Richard, Judy, and Hannah Holmes, Stuart Brandt, and Bill Cox (pulling double duty!).  Our own Stuart Brandt presented  “When is a Jeep not a Jeep?”  (When it is a Ford GPW of course!).  Hannah Holmes won the ladies division of the popular “What Is It?” contest, identifying several automotive related items.  We all enjoyed the National Judging Class and CJE classes put on by Dain King.

 

 

Rick’s Model A update: Engine is out!  Richard Holmes shows Rick and Matt how to determine if it needs honing or boring…  Needs boring,  of course!
