NMCCC ALL CLUBS PICNIC

CHANGE OF VENUE

SUNDAY, AUGUST 12, the New Mexico Council of Car Clubs will sponsor the Annual All Clubs Picnic. Due to the uncertainty of fire restrictions in the forests, the picnic has been moved to Coronado Campgrounds at Bernalillo. The cost is $5.00 per car. Hours are from 10am-3pm. Hamburgers and hot dogs will be served at noon. Bring a side dish to share. We are asked to use marked recycle containers for plastic bottles, aluminum & steel cans, clean paper and cardboard. There will be a 50/50 cash raffle, with 50% going to the winner and the other 50% to the charity of the winner's choice. A few door prizes will be raffled. The Duke's Car Club is collecting school supplies for Albuquerque students, and donations from pencils to backpacks are requested. The campground has restrooms and cool picnic shelters. To get there, take I-25 to the Bernalillo Exit, #242, and go west on Hwy 550. In about 2 miles, turn right onto Kuana Rd, and the area is on your right. Alternatively, go north on 2nd or 4th St. and follow old Rte 66 into Bernalillo. Turn left on Hwy 550 and go about 1 mile to Kuana Rd. There is a great view of the Rio Grande valley from the site. It should be a relaxing and peaceful day.

 AUGUST PRESIDENT’S LETTER - R. Jeff Jackson

 

This will be a short president’s letter since I am now pretty sure no one reads them.  Kinda like in WW2 movies where you hiss squeak crackle buzz no don’t enter that area we are about to hiss crackle buzz static please respond I did not understand did you say squeak hiss crackle buzz static yes, I said don’t enter hiss buzz crackle ok I understood yes hiss squeak buzz boom.   

 

Lately we discussed how Edsel Ford was over shadowed and bullied by his father Henry Ford.  Despite his father’s influence Edsel Ford did manage to influence Ford Motor Company in a positive manner.   After Edsel’s life, cut short by poor health, Henry Ford was reinstated at the helm of Ford Motor company for a short period during World War II.  By that time the aged Henry Ford had “inconsistent mental faculties”.   

 

Edsel’s oldest son Henry Ford II or ‘Hank the Deuce’ returned from WW2 ill prepared to handle Ford Motor Company.  He had minimum time to prepare and he recognized his need for help. Nevertheless, he adopted a strong management style and hired experienced business leaders from other companies to help him.  

“Additionally, Henry Ford II hired ten young up-and-comers, known as the "Whiz Kids". These ten, gleaned from an Army Air Forces statistical team, Henry Ford II envisioned as giving the company the ability to innovate and stay current. Two of them, Arjay Miller and Robert McNamara, went on to serve as presidents of Ford themselves. A third member, J. Edward Lundy, served in key financial roles for several decades and helped to establish Ford Finance's reputation as one of the best Finance organizations in the world. As a team, the "whiz kids" are probably best remembered as the design team for the 1949 Ford, which they took from concept to production in nineteen months, and which re-established Ford as a formidable automotive company. It was reported that 100,000 orders for this car were taken the day it was introduced to the market.” (From Wikipedia)


It appears that in two years with the 1948 pickup truck and the 1949 car Ford Motor Company reestablished itself.   The leader was the grandson of the founder who recognized his need for experienced help and found it.   Whew, a long lead in to a key reason why our club exists.   No one knows everything about every Flathead Ford but collectively we know a bunch.   Some of our newest members say the experience and knowledge in the club attracted them to join.   With the tour upcoming, let’s continue to share our knowledge and help everyone get a car ready for a wonderful adventure.  We still talk about the great time we had on the last tour, believe it or not 5 years ago.  Time to build new memories.  Please remember you need interest in Flathead Fords but you can drive a modern car on the tour if you want.

This is a second test, does anyone squawk, buzz, static read these President’s letters? squawk, buzz, static........

 

Minutes of the July 3, 2018 Meeting

Beth Jackson, Secretary

   President Jeff called the meeting to order.  There were 13 members present and 3 guests.  Mary Dierschke, Frank Corey’s sister, was present and is now a new member.  Welcome, Mary and husband Gene.  Sid Anaya, the “lead” man was back and is also a new member.  Welcome, Sid.  Eddie Corbin, our presenter of the evening was also present.  Treasurer Dave said the budget is on track and we are solvent. 

Happy Birthdays were wished to Beth, Max, Larry Bost and Jim Kontny.  Happy Anniversary greetings were made to Jay and Helen and the Catchpoles of Farmington.

   Thank you for refreshments, Joyce.

   For Sale/Wanted ads were passed around for corrections, additions and deletions.  Ads are generally deleted after three months unless a request is made to leave them in the newsletter. 

   Old Business:  Joyce reported for the New Mexico Car Council.  Collector Car Appreciation Day is July 14 and will be celebrated with a drive in movie “American Graffiti” at the Enchanted Trails RV Park.  Sunday, August 12th is the All Clubs Picnic held at Oak Flats Picnic grounds if there is enough rain before then.  Stay tuned for details.  The Los Lunas swap meet is September 28-30 and reservations are being taken for spots.  Kathleen McCaughey will be at the Gallery at Hoffmantown Center on July 21st where there will be a display of car art.

   The recipe of the month for July was provided by Larry Bost.  George and Jackie Abernathy agreed to provide a recipe for August.

 

   This meeting’s program will be on sparkplugs provided by Eddie Corbin.  He brought samples from his extensive collection.

   Joe had his trailer stolen from his lot on Acoma.  He has surveillance photos from a neighboring business showing the perpetrators.  There was a general discussion on how to prevent trailer theft with some suggestions of better trailer locks and removing wheels.  Joe said a suggestion for home security includes “doors, dogs and decals.” Jeff asked Joe if he can give us an Albuquerque crime report at each meeting.

   New Business:  July’s breakfast activity will be held on Saturday, July 21st, 8:30am at the Mustang Café at Rich Ford.  This location was chosen by Demetrio.  Joe chose La Peep on Louisiana for the August 18th breakfast. 

   The July 4th parade in Corrales will be followed by a BBQ at Azevedos.

   Surprise announcement- the Jacksons are having a party on Sunday July 15th at 4pm, food and drink provided and the swimming pool open.  All are invited.

   The next meeting is August 7th and we have several programs to choose from: gardening, special teas, special watches.  Because gardening is appropriate this summer, the membership voted to have that as the August meeting topic.  Pat Bost, a master gardener, will be asked to speak. Demetrio Lee has volunteered to provide refreshments.

   The featured member for July was Larry Bost.  Jeff asked Jay Hertz if he would consent to be interviewed for August and he agreed, albeit reluctantly.

   Dave told us about an interesting trip he took to the Nevada Test Site, where nuclear testing was ended in October 1992.  He said it was an unbelievable tour of over 250 driven miles.

   Joyce informed us that there will be an auction on September 8th of the Gab Joiner collection of project cars and parts (no museum items).  Eugene Doty will be the auctioneer.  Joyce will update the club on details.

   A break was taken, refreshments and conversation was enjoyed and then Eddie Corbin regaled us with stories and information on spark plugs. Did you know until the mid ‘50’s most spark plugs were 3 piece units? We learned this and more from Eddie’s talk.  He said at one time everybody and their brother produced spark plugs so there are lots and lots to collect and identify.

Featured Member of the Month

Jay Hertz

 

Jay is an Albuquerque native whose parents came from Ohio because they liked the area. He’s the 2nd of 4 children and attended New Mexico schools through a degree at UNM before traveling to the University of Wisconsin to attend law school.  He practiced commercial litigation (business disputes) for 40 years at the local firm of Sutin, Thayer and Browne. Jay has been married to wife Helen for 29 years.  He also has one daughter Abigail who provided him with twin grandchildren, now age 7. He visits them in California frequently and will be camping with them this summer near Magdalena.

Jay became hooked on cars at age 15 when a Boy Scout friend acquired a ’34 Chevy Coupe and took him for a spin. We weren’t old enough to drive but we cruised around the block for fun.  He had several other friends who were car people and a neighbor helped him purchase his first “old” car, a ’36 Chevy 2 door sedan.  His first Ford was a ’36 Cabriolet, purchased in pieces, that he restored and still owns today. He has an extensive collection but says he bought his last “old car” a couple of months ago. Yea, we all believe that ha ha. It is a 1931 Chevy Woody station wagon that he is now working to restore.  He still has 6 or 7 unrestored vehicles to finish.  Jay goes to his shop and works 5 days a week on his cars.  He says some of his best friends are from old car clubs and he often helps others with parts and knowledge.  It makes him feel good to be able to help.  We are lucky to have his knowledge and willingness to share that knowledge in our club.

Story from FORD TIMES, February, 1982

by William Loving of Bluefield, Virginia

 

On vacation at Virginia Beach, Virginia, a few summers back, my wife, my 7-year-old daughter and I decided that an afternoon movie would be a great way to spend a rainy vacation day. The second feature was a Zorro film from the 1950s. As the sound began and the blurry, black-and-white images appeared on the screen, I leaned over to my daughter and whispered that this was from back when I was her age. A look of concern came over her face as she asked, "Daddy, what was it like back when the world was black and white?"

 

 

Jokes of the Month

 

Why does Humpty Dumpty love autumn?  Because Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

Who earns a living driving their customers away?  A taxi driver.

Never criticize someone until you have walked a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you’ll be a mile away, and you’ll have their shoes.

What is heavy forward but not backward?  Ton.

What happens if you eat yeast and shoe polish?  Every morning you’ll rise and shine!

What is red and smells like blue paint?  Red paint.
