From The President
David Sander

I was 14 when I joined the VAE. I'm 42 now. I've seen a lot happen in the club during the
last 28 years. Most good, some bad. I can remember feeling upset when I saw 1955-57
Chevys at Stowe for the first time. Somehow they did not look like antique cars to me. At the
time I thought antique cars had brass lights and button tucked leather seats. Anything newer
just looked like an old car. Now, my 1987 Saab is eligible for Stowe, but that does not upset
me. Why? I am actually missing the cars of the '80's now. We just don't see them anymore,
and I actually enjoy the rare spotting of one on the road today.
We have had some great years, And some bad ones too. We have also lost a lot of great
people. Really great people. Some lived long healthy lives, others have had their lives cut
tragically short. Some have moved away, others have drifted away from the club. Some of these people may not be with us anymore, but
I will never forget what I learned from them.
I never would have been able to learn how to rebuild an engine, shoot paint or restore a car without a lot of help from some special
VAE members.
It's the people who are the heart and soul of any club, and our club is no exception. Our membership is the most valuable asset this
club has. We are a very special group of people. As president, I will go out of my way to make myself available to our members, and to
conduct club activities in a visible, fair, respectful and transparent manor.
I've learned a great deal over the years, and I have some strong feelings that were formed by what I've learned.
First and foremost, I want every member to feel welcomed and appreciated. It doesn't matter if your vehicle of choice is a kit built
fiberglass kit car with a fuel injected small block Chevy crate engine, or if your car of choice is an all original 1906 curved dash
Oldsmobile. We are The Vermont Automobile Enthusiasts, and I don't want people to feel excluded, discriminated against or unwelcome.
We all have an enthusiasm for automobiles, all automobiles, and that is simply great. Everybody has something to offer. We have an
eclectic group, with many experiences, memories, tastes and of course, a love of cars. I want our members to feel welcomed at all of our
functions and events. Our events are a great forum to share this enthusiasm for automobiles.
Second, I care deeply about the success of our club, and it's future. I get really nervous about the weather in mid August... As this can
have a disastrous effect on our Stowe Show attendance. We can't control the weather, but we can control our finances. I feel it is
critically important to have a reserve fund, should we have a disastrous event again at Stowe. We got lucky this past year. A few days in
either direction and we would have been rained out, again. If we have two bad years in a row, we could easily be broke, again.
I think we should also be thinking about the future of the club. I would love to see our club obtain a building with a library of VAE
history and a rotating group of member cars on display. Not a priority of mine for this year, but something to think about for the future.
We will also have some challenges this year. In May we will be providing vehicles for the Champlain Bridge Dedication and
Celebration. Not an easy undertaking. Stowe 2012 will need a great deal of time, effort and hard work, all with volunteers. This show
has always been a success, yet every year it just gets better and better. We will need your help to make these events successful.
I am very fortunate to be president this year. Our finances are good, our membership is strong, and I have a great relationship with our
officers.
We have been very fortunate to have very talented members stepping up and serving as officers. Wendell is going to be a tough act to
follow as president. Fortunately, we still have Wendell as our board chairman. We have a great team, and a great club. I am looking
forward to continuing our excellent working relationship throughout this exciting new year. If you like what you see, tell a friend and
ask them to join the club. If you don't like what you see, please tell me.

The Goodrichs and Their E-Type Jag from page one

While spending the winter in Florida in 1995 my wife and I drove by a garage in
St Petersburg where they did antique car restorations. It looked like an interesting place to visit
so we stopped in to meet the owner who gave us a tour. Among disassembled Bentleys,
Studebakers and the pieces of a 1939 SS100 Jaguar was a 1968 blue Jaguar E-type which was
receiving the finishing touches of a refurbishing.
My wife, who usually is not enthusiastic about visits to car garages, thought that Jaguar
was, as she put it "art in motion". I seized the moment and immediately asked the owner if the
car was for sale. It turned out that it was his wife's car which they had reluctantly decided to sell. We left the shop, talked it over and
decided that if he would repaint it red, we would negotiate to buy the car.
A few weeks later we were the proud owners of the 68 Jaguar which we drove to our first car show in Tarpon Springs. After winning a
first prize we were returning to our condo in Largo when true to Jaguar reputation, first the horn failed, then the radiator cooling fans fol-
lowed by the car overheating. We pulled off the road and were soon passed by two model A's and a model T!
I mentioned the car to my son who lives in Nashville, TN. He said that he had a friend who had owned a similar car years before but it was
blue. The friend mentioned that he had sold it to an antique car restorer from St Petersburg, FL! On a visit to Nashville a few years later
I met the previous owner who said that he had to sell the Jaguar to finance his new business. It was the same car.
Since then we have enjoyed the Jaguar, taken it to many shows where it really is: Art in Motion (at least most of the time!).
I grew up in Sheldon, VT & while in college I worked summers at the state park at Lake Elmore and the Tyler Place in Highgate
Springs. At Elmore in the 1950's I met Adrian West (deceased but long time VAE member) and we enjoyed our mutual interest in old cars.
After college and marriage, work took my wife and I permanently from Vermont in the late
1950's. We kept a camp on Fairfield Pond in the family and have returned there for a few
weeks each summer since. After retiring my wife and I became reacquainted with Adrian
and joined VAE about 15 years ago. We have enjoyed attending the VAE shows.
We keep a house in Lake Forest, IL where the Jaguar E-type and my son's 1967 Jaguar 420
currently reside; the 1963 MGB now being in Florida. My son and I brought his Jaguar 420 to
the British Invasion at Stowe two years ago where it won second place in the Concours class.

VAE Gossip By gcf

My friend, Arnold Ruch, told me when he was 16 years old the farmer he was working for, in the NE Kingdom asked him to get the
tractor and haul the combine down the road to the neighbors. He was also told not to use high gear. This was in 1947 and the name on the
tractor was Plymouth. I never knew Plymouth (Chrysler) made tractors and I found out they didn’t. I found this 1934 Plymouth Tractor
picture on the internet…..
A company named Fate-Root-Heath in Plymouth, Ohio started building Plymouth tractors in
1934. When the economy went bad from the ’29 crash the Ohio company decided to rework their
locomotive yard tractor into a farm tractor since they were in the center of farm country. Chrysler had
been using the Plymouth name since 1928 for automobiles and it bothered them when they started
seeing these tractors zipping down the road at 25MPH (one of the fastest tractors built at the time). In
1934 Chrysler had had enough and went to court to make Fate-Root-Heath stop using the Plymouth
name but it turned out the little Ohio company had built a single automobile back in 1910 and called it
a Plymouth. Chrysler lost in court and ended up paying $1.00 for the Plymouth name in 1934.
Fate-Root-Heath, that year, changed their tractor name to “Silver King”, they had built 314 tractors
using the Plymouth name.
So….back to my friend’s story. He knew the tractor’s reputation of being “fast” and as soon as he got
around the corner and out of sight of his boss he shoved that Plymouth into high gear. He said he made it to the next corner and that was all.
The tractor and the combine flew off the road into the ditch and up onto the bank with the combine landing on top of the tractor. Arnold
went flying also…. into the brush many feet away and ended up with only a broken ankle. The story goes that Arnold kept his job but his
boss had nothing to do with him for a few weeks until the boss’s wife help make the peace. The afternoon of the accident the Plymouth
tractor was back in the field pulling the combine through a field of oats doing the job it was built for with little damage to both.

Don Rayta’s Monthly Mini-Feature
“Doris Bailey and her Camaro”
I’ve had 3 extra cars (ones that weren't just family station wagons)... an MGTC, a London taxicab, and a
l968 Camaro RS convertible. I got the Camaro outside of the Rhoades junk yard in Milton and had it
trucked down to Tamarack Garage on Sears Lane here in Burlington. I bought it because I wanted to
build an engine. I had spent the previous year in the automotive mechanics course at Burlington High
School and now wanted to see if I could really implement some of the year’s learning. Upon taking
it apart, pieces of the rings fell out in my hands, the cylinder bores were scored and had to be bored 60.
over, the crank needed turning, etc, etc.
There wasn’t room at Tamarack to rebuild it, so, by secret arrangement, I was allowed to use an engine
stand in the back of Angell’s Machine Shop (which preceded Maynard’s) on Pine St. Whenever Mr. Angell
came up from Brattleboro to check out his shop and parts store, I was advised to go out front and stand
around as though I were a customer so as not to brazenly flout insurance regulations. I couldn’t work on it full time, so it took me 2
months to build it. I sought and received very good advice from various shop personnel, and I tried to be very meticulous and fussy about
having everything very clean and checked and double-checked torqueing the mains, the rod bolts and the head bolts and I worried all the
time that I would leave out some critical part of the assembly . Finally it was done. Back to Tamarack, we installed the engine back in the
car. Now it was time to start it: what if it wouldn’t start? What if something was terribly wrong with it? I couldn’t stand it so I asked Bill
Valyou, who worked there, to start it, I went and sat in the office with my hands clenched. He turned the key and it began to crank, the
engine stumbled, coughed and sputtered and then suddenly roared into life. I ran out shrieking “It’s running, Bill, It’s running!” Bill cut it
back to a nice loud hum and after we checked everything I was able to drive it home…….
I drove the Camaro to Florida 3 times and it always ran like a top. One time I stopped overnight in a motel in North Carolina. The next
morning I was about to leave when a man came up to me and said, “That’s a real nice Camaro you have there lady, is it your son’s, - or your
grandson’s?” “It’s mine!” I snarled, as I floored it going out of the driveway and back up on good old I-95, going south.

I couldn’t find a picture of the Camaro, but it was a pretty car, being dark blue, with a white top. I got picked up for speeding a couple of
times. I always felt if the

Dave’s Garage by Dave Sander
This column is a Q & A column with you asking me questions
and after researching the answer I will reply.
Any questions ‘automotive’ is fare game, I might not know the answer
but hopefully I will find someone who does know.
Please send all inquiries to dasander@aol.com or 32 Turkey Hill Road, Richmond VT

Recently I got a question about the many different types of antifreeze availa-
ble today. Specifically, what type to put in a new Honda with blue coolant.

So, here it is: COOLANT 101 TYPES OF COOLANT (ANTIFREEZE)

Today's coolant market is confusing. In days past all coolant was the green ethylene glycol variety, one type of coolant for
every car. Now it seems that every car manufacturer has at least one color of coolant. What Type of Antifreeze Should I
Use?.....All Makes and Models?...Extended Life 150,000 Miles?.....Green, Red, Yellow, Orange, Pink, Blue?
There are a lot of choices of different automotive coolants today. So, which one should you use in your car? You should use
what your car was made to have. However, sometimes it may be difficult to decipher what the original equipment manufacturer
(OEM) used, especially if you purchased your car used.

Basically, there are three basic types of automotive coolant:
Inorganic Acid Technology (IAT), Organic Acid Technology (OAT), and Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT).

IAT coolants are the "traditional green" variety used in virtually all American vehicles from the late 1920s to the mid to late
1990s. Like all antifreeze, it is naturally clear; its color comes from dye. Unlike the other types of antifreeze, it uses silicate and
phosphate corrosion inhibitors to protect the metal parts of the engine and cooling system. However, these inhibitors wear out
quickly, so IAT type coolants need to be flushed every two years or 30,000 miles.
OAT coolants typically do not use silicate and phosphate corrosion inhibitors. Different manufacturers use different
chemical additives to battle rust and corrosion, and they all dye their coolants different colors. GM's ubiquitous DEX-COOL
coolant is an OAT antifreeze dyed orange. Toyota, Volkswagen, and Audi all use their own formulas that happen to be dyed
pink. Honda uses a dark green (blue) dye. OAT coolants have longer service lives than IAT coolants, needing to be flushed
every 5 years or 150,000 miles.
HOAT coolants use different additives than OAT, but also use some silicate to protect aluminum surfaces. Modern Ford,
Chrysler, and most European vehicles use their own HOAT coolant formulas. Ford's is dyed yellow and Chrysler's is orange
(not to be confused with DEX-COOL). Both use the marketing name of GO-5. HOAT coolant has the same service interval as
OAT (5 years or 150,000 miles).
Summary:
IAT - Used in early to mid-late 90's Domestic vehicles…….This type is good for
our antique cars
OAT - Used in late 90's GM and most Asian vehicles
HOAT - Used in 2000's Fords, Chryslers, and most European vehicles.

Although you can mix coolant types without harm, it is highly recommended
against. If you mix an OAT or HOAT with an IAT, you will lose the extended ser-
vice life of the OAT or HOAT coolant. Some people say that if you mix these
types of coolant it can result in the coolant gelling, but if you keep your cooling
system well maintained, this should not be a problem.

And finally, what about the "Universal, All Makes, All Models" coolant you see
stuffing store shelves? Basically, those are OAT DEX-COOL clones. I would
personally steer well clear of them unless your vehicle is de-
signed for OAT coolant. You should always check your own-
ers manual, and make sure the coolant you add is the same
ve
a–Sha type of coolant your car requires.

The Summer No Lawns Were Mowed
By Gary Olney….wife of (“Softer Side”) Nancy Olney

Not mowed by me, anyway. I did hire someone to mow at the house and I would
do the trimming. But, I never did - not once! Even though there’s not much for a
lawn at camp, it does need mowing. I mowed it once, but only after the grass was
knee high.
What does this lack of lawn care have to do with cars? This being the most
active “car season” I’ve experienced, there
wasn’t time for much else! There were car
tours, car shows, car auctions, car flea mar-
kets, along with parades to join, seniors to
give rides to (more “senior” than me), “car VT. Maple Festival Queen & Entourage with Mary and
people” to search out and visit all across the Wendell Noble’s 29 Plymouth Roadster
U.S. and Canada. This, of course, includes
auto related landmarks to explore, such as highways, bridges and gas stations. Along with antique
shops and malls to look for those auto related treasures I can’t resist. Oh, did I mention a “car related”
almost divorce?
The car season began much earlier than usual, at least for me; April 17 was the date of the Vermont

Stowe. This was a new experience, never having entered a car in a National meet before. It was
also a near disaster! The owner of a newly acquired 1906, one cylinder Cadillac with little or no
experience operating it and not wanting to wait for the driver, decided to give it a go on his own!
As he tried to drive away, the car “leaped” forward into a ditch. Angry, frustrated and probably
more than a bit embarrassed, he tried to back up. It “leaped” out of the ditch with the wheels turned
directing it on a coarse straight into Nancy and the ’37 Ford. He was clearly “out of control”! For-

GM car dealership, has much more than literature. There’s a small, very nice car

have a very nice truck museum
as part of the complex there. Throughout Iowa we explored parts of the Lincoln High-
way, which was dedicated in 1913. This was the first road across the U.S., crossing 14
states from New York City to San Francisco. Then through part of Nebraska, dodging
floods along the Missouri River and into South Dakota.
In the Black Hills, we looked up Jim Lay, who had called me previously looking for ’31
Plymouth parts. His Plymouth is a roadster that his father had restored years ago when
the family lived in Iowa. While looking his Plymouth over, he asked his wife to get out
a certain photo. She came back with a photo of my ’31 Plymouth convertible coupe! It
seems my father had sent his father this picture, perhaps 50 years ago! It was marked on
the back “please return to…” but never was. It had gone from father to son, Iowa to
South Dakota, surviving many decades before being returned to the son of the original
sender. Amazing! I’m very grateful to have it back since it’s the only photo I have of The original Lincoln highway Bridge in Iowa
the car when my father brought it home to Springfield, VT in the late ‘50’s.

SEE THROUGH TIRES …….Radical new tire design
by Michelin.
The next generation of tires.
They had a set at the Philadelphia car show.
Yes, those are 'spoke'
like connections to the inner part of the tire from the outside tread 'wrap!'
The next picture shows how odd it looks in motion...

Makes you wonder how the ride feels. These tires are airless and are scheduled to be out on the market very soon.
The bad news for law enforcement is that spike strips will not work on these.
Just think of the impact on existing technology: A. no more air valves... B. no more air com-
pressors at gas stations...
C. no more repair kits... D. no more flats... These are actual pictures taken at the South Car-
olina plant of Michelin.

VAAS Board meeting Minutes November 14, 2011

Board members Present: Gael Boardman, Bob Chase, Leo Laferriere, Jan Sander, Dick Wheatley
Others Present: Gary Fiske, Gene Napoliello, Wendell Noble, Jim Sears
The meeting took place at Dick Wheatley’s office at 1 Market Place, Unit #31, Essex Junction, VT. The
meeting began at 1:30 PM.
All motions passed unanimously.
1. Welcome: Everyone shared a Motoring Moment.
2. Secretary’s Report: Leo motioned to accept the minutes of the Board meeting of October 17 as amended. Dick seconded the mo-
tion.
3. Treasurer’s Report: Dick reported that there is currently $3,625 in the account. There was a $1, 300 contribution from a member with
instructions that 50% was to be placed in the Scholarship Fund. The remaining 50% is to be put into the Long Range Fund.
4. Report on on-going Horseless Carriage Club of America (HCCA) situation: IRS has revoked the HCCA’s 501-C3 tax exempt
status. The HCCA has appealed the decision. IRS has challenged the percentage of time that HCCA has actually devoted to educa-
tional activities. Gael updated the Board on this situation. We as a Club need to be very vigilant on this issue. We need to document
that VAAS spends a significant amount of time and money to promote educational activities that are accessible to the public.
5. Web Site: The administrator of our web site, Rachel Smith of cR Web Development, was a guest at our meeting. Rachel informed the
Board that our web site gets a lot of traffic. There have been 17,000 hits in the past 12 months. We discussed ways to make the site more
appealing and more user friendly. As most visitors are interested in information about the Stowe Show and club events, we should make
this information more accessible. There should be a separate page for the Stowe Show. It was decided to shorten the list by moving and
consolidating items to make it easier to find specific information. The car photo should change each month. On the Events page, there
should be a statement “Any public event sponsored by VAE or VAAS is an educational event whose purpose is to educate the public about
the history of antique automobiles and to preserve and protect that history and those vehicles.” Rachel pointed out that frequent updates
on Face Book can be used to send people to our web site. Updates to the web site are in progress.
6. Wheel Tracks: Gary Fiske, Wheel Tracks editor, will be mailing copies to libraries and technical centers around the state.
7. Scholarship program update: There will be monthly updates in Wheel Tracks.
8. Guest Gene Napoliello: The VAE Judging Committee is proposing to establish a program of lessons on antique vehicles that
could be incorporated into automobile technology programs at schools. Gene proposes working with the instructors to make this
part of the curriculum. Bob suggested that we begin by working with the Hagerty Insurance people at the Stowe Show. Hagerty
has a junior judging program. This could be written up beforehand in Wheel Tracks. We should ask Hagerty if they are interested
in joining with us in this program. Gene will be in communication with Gary.
9. Guest Jim Sears, in-coming VAE 1st Vice President: Jim outlined upcoming VAE meetings. In January, Gene and Lucille Napoliello
will once again host a Memorabilia and Collections meet in Waterbury. February will be a movie matinee at Wake Robin. Lloyd Davis will
supply the movie. Wake Robin residents will be invited to attend. The May meeting will be the Champlain Bridge Festivities.
10. Report from Dick Wheatley on possible donated car: Dick reported that David Sander contacted the possible donor and told
him that the car would need to be appraised. To date, David has not heard back from this individual.
11. Ray Unsworth’s estate offer of automotive books: There are 4 boxes of books. Gael will pick them up and store them until a decision is
made as to what the club will do with them.
12. Annual Meetings: Fred Cook expressed his sincere thanks for the club having named the VTC scholarship in his honor.
13. General discussion of the VAE/VAAs organizational status: Bob moved that after January 1, 2012, the VAE will put $30,000, which is
the amount that VAE voted to allocate to the VAAS at the Annual Meeting, into a VAAS money market account for the year’s expenses.
Jan seconded this motion.
14. Other business: Gary suggested that there should be an Editorial Committee established to ensure the continued publication of
Wheel Tracks. At present, the editor is solely responsible for Wheel Tracks. If for some reason the editor should become unable to
carry out his duties, there is no one to take over the monthly publication of Wheel Tracks.
Next meeting: Monday, January 16 at Dick’s office, 1 Market Place, Unit #31, Essex Junction, at 1:30 PM.
16. Adjourn: At 5:03, Bob motioned to adjourn. Jan seconded the motion. The meeting adjourned.
Respectfully submitted: Jan Sander

Minutes of November Stowe Committee Meeting, November 16,2011
The Stowe Planning Committee met at 7:00 p.m., Wednesday November 16, 2011 at the conference room of the
Commodore Inn in Stowe.
The meeting was called to order by chairman Bob Chase. Bob announced that the show dates for 2012 would be August 10 -12.

Vermont Crafters: Duane Leach said that a 40’ x 40’ tent has been reserved for the coming show, which is 10’ wider than last year.
Bob Chase said that he would work on getting electrical power to the tent. Hal Boardman said that the last years event was very
well received . There was a discussion of possible fees for space rental. Hal will come back to a future meeting with a proposed fee
schedule following a discussion with participants.
Judging: Leo Laferriere mentioned that car classes need to be set. Bob Chase reported that he had received a request that a “Firebird”
class be designated. The person requesting it felt that he could get others to participate. Leo said that at least eight entrants would be need-
ed to justify a class. A discussion ensued of other entrants who do not fit an existing class.
Sponsorship: Bob Chase stated that he had already received a sponsorship from a local insurance agency. Following Bob’s sugges-
tion, it was generally agreed that sponsors should be included on our web site for a year. Bob will relay this to Gary Fiske.
Brochure: Duane Leach suggested that another panel be added to the brochure to allow more prominent space for advertisers. Duane will
contact Bill Sander about this. Jim Sears suggested that the show hours and admission charge be included on the poster.
Special Events: Bob Chase stated that Stowe F.D. suggested a special event be held on Sunday to maintain attendance. Several
possibilities were discussed, such as a “Tuners” event or an antique tractor pull. Andy Barnett will investigate the possibility of a
Tuners event.
Contracts: Bob and Duane reported that the Stowe F.D. have agreed to be food vendors again. They have agreed to a price of $3,500 (up
from $3,000). The Nichols contract is still being negotiated. Agreements need to be reached on allowed hours of entry (late night) onto the
field and needed improvements to the entrance road near the barn. We do have a $1,000 retainer on the field.
Clothing: Andy Barnett asked about the desirability of another color such as denim for aprons. He will find out the price for
twelve of them as well as the last year’s white when the new prices are available in February. Several people stated that they would
very much prefer 100% cotton shirts, even at a higher price. Andy will also get prices for the shirts.
Department Comments: None made
On Line registration: It was agreed to maintain existing fees for car corral, flea market and admission.
Appreciation Dinner: The committee agreed that they would like to have an appreciation dinner in the spring to recognize 2011 contribu-
tors as well as in the fall following the 2012 car show. This recommendation will be taken to the board of directors for action.
Other Business: Anderson Auto Glass would like a place in the flea market and also intends to join the VAE.

Respectfully submitted,
Wendell Noble, Acting secretary

How to Lock Your Car and Why …….A message sent to VAE member Bill Billado
I locked my car. As I walked away I heard my car door unlock. I went back and locked my car again three times. Each time, as
soon as I started to walk away, I would hear it unlock again!! Naturally alarmed, I looked around and there were two guys
sitting in a car in the fire lane next to the store. They were obviously watching me intently, and there was no doubt they were
somehow involved in this very weird situation . I quickly chucked the errand I was on, jumped in my car and sped away. I went
straight t o the police station, told them what had happened, and found out I was part of a new, and very successful, scheme
being used to gain entry into cars. Two weeks later, my friend's son had a similar happening.
While traveling, my friend's son stopped at a roadside rest to use the bathroom. When he came out to his car less than 4-5
minutes later, someone had gotten into his car and stolen his cell phone, laptop computer, GPS navigator, briefcase.....you name
it He called the police and since there were no signs of his car being broken into, the police told him he had been a victim of the
latest robbery tactic -- there is a device that robbers are using now to clone your security code when you lock your doors on
your car using your key-chain locking device..

They sit a distance away and watch for their next victim. They know you are going inside of the store, restaurant, or bathroom
and that they now have a few minutes to steal and run. The police officer said to manually lock your car door-by hitting the lock
button inside the car -- that way if there is someone sitting in a parking lot watching for their next victim, it will not be you.

When you hit the lock button on your car upon exiting, it does not send the security code, but if you walk away and use the door
lock on your key chain, it sends the code through the airwaves where it can be instantly stolen.
This is very real.

“A VAE Member meets Elvis”
It was a beautiful Fall day in November when I joined a small group of VAE members on a journey to the Northeast
Kingdom area of Cambells Corner not far from Lake Eligo. The group had heard about a fellow VAE member deciding to
sell off many highly valuable old car parts and we wanted to be at the head of the line. So with pockets filled with cash
(they trade in only cash or car parts in that area)
we traveled East. The driver decided we should not
waste time so with no pee stops and nearly running
off the road at a couple of unexpected corners we
arrived at Dave Maunsell’s yard with ladened tables
of cars parts .
That is when I saw him, Elvis was sitting on the
table guarding the cash box. I ran to get my
camera for the picture of a life time….. you can see
him there, way to the right, gazing into the valley
below.
It seems Elvis came to Dave’s area looking for
accommodations for a few weeks but found all the inns filled. He also learned they never did have mangers in that area
of Vermont, they just kept their car parts in old barns or outside on tables. The towns folks told Elvis about a fellow
just out of town who was good at samaritizing and that is how Elvis found Dave’s place. Dave had no room in his home so
he allowed him stay in the hen house. All was good for a time.
The day before we showed up at Cambells Corner Dave had to tell Elvis it was time to move on. Elvis had made a nice
place for himself but the chickens refused to go in when Elvis was home and Dave was getting
tired of picking the eggs off the lawn. The VAE group had some
discussions and decided there was room if Elvis wanted to ride West
with us on the assumption the Champlain Valley just might be a little
more accommodating. Elvis agreed as long as we chose a different
driver going home (he had heard us talking about our harrowing ride
to get there).
So, Elvis did find accommodations, I agreed to allow him to stay in
my 1933 Franklin Olympic. Very little time had past when he told me
he felt at home, but that before the winter cold sets in he would
have to leave. He is pictured here to the left watching the scenery
of Franklin County passing by. I also often found him outside
(pictured to the right) waiting for the next apple to drop while
humming his tunes. I even spent some time helping him clean up from
his time in the chicken house….it was a bonding moment for us. A tooth brush worked real well
cleaning the deep waves of his hair.
I went to my shop a few mornings ago and found that Elvis had left during
the night. He left a note on my bench thanking me and said he would have a
blue Christmas without the Franklin but he was moving on.
Not long after that I attended a Christmas party and you would not believe
who I met again. Elvis had hooked up with another VAE member. He told me
he loves the Vermont Automobile Enthusiasts folks and he hopes this one was
planning on heading South for the winter. You can see the happiness that Elvis
has brought to his new VAE friend, Michael Chase, in this VAE Christmas
Party photo. I wonder if Elvis knows that Michael lives in Stowe all winter?
( A note from the editor: The member who met Elvis has asked to stay anonymous , he
is concerned the press would be at his house at all hours with Elvis questions.)


New…..from Wheel Tracks

****The VAE Yellow(ed) Pages****
Every month from now on Wheel Tracks will be collecting listings from you and building (we hope) hundreds for our
VAE Yellow(ed) Pages on our website...vtauto.org. How many times have you tried to remember who told you about that carburetor
rebuilder they used now that you need one yourself? How about that place where you can get ‘slotted screws’ without having to pay a
fortune? If you read about or drive by a shop or a vender that you would like to try, what is the first thing that comes to mind…..Yup you
have it….. “I wonder if they are any good and can I afford them”? Hopefully the VAE Yellow(ed) Pages can help, because for as many of
the listings as possible we will get the VAE member’s permission to add their name if the member has used the service. The member’s
name will be in (italics and in parenthesis) at the end of the listing. Now you have someone in the VAE Family to call and get straight
answers before you make an investment.
So…..please send Wheel Tracks listings of the ‘shops and venders’ you have done business with...the ones you trust.
Send them to gafiske@gmail.com or give me a list when I see you at a meeting.
Give me …..THE CATEGORY ….THE NAME….THE ADDRESS….THE PHONE NUMBER. Plus your name if I can list it.

All new listings will be in Wheel Tracks each month before they are transferred to our website.
