Hi gang!

We came close to getting the club participation award for the

most cars by a club. As you know many of the members belong to

multiple clubs as do I. If all members that registered as both clubs, I

think we would have been the top club at this event. We can still

make it happen at the All-American car show coming up this month.

We have had a strong showing in the past for this show so let's give it

another shot.

Keep on cruisin’

Your Prez.

HOW AN AUTOMOBILE GOT ITS NAME

FORD Until Henry Ford gave the world its first affordable car, the Model T,

automobiles were playthings for the wealthy. The T changed that. Fif-

teen million were built from 1908 to 1927. Prices dropped to $290 in

1924 from $850 in 1909.

Oddly enough: Ford Motor Co. was Henry's third company. The sec-

ond was renamed Cadillac after Ford left.

CHEVROLET

William C. Durant created GM in 1908 and lost the company to bank-

ers in 1910. To get back in the game, Durant had a member of Buick's

racing team create a new car. Louis Chevrolet obliged but left the

company shortly after the car was launched in 1912.

Oddly enough: The first V8-powered Chevrolet was produced in 1917,

not 1955 as is commonly thought.

CHRYSLER

Walter Percy Chrysler rose through the ranks of GM until 1919, when

he quit his job as Buick's president. Walking out with $10 million, he

landed at Willys-Overland before taking over Maxwell Motors. There,

in 1924, he launched the Chrysler.

Oddly enough: Willys built the Jeep during World War II. Jeep is now

owned by Chrysler.
