AACA and CHVA Friends, We returned late
last night from the AACA Grand National Meet in New Bern, NC where we had a terrific weekend! The old colonial city
right on the Neuse and Trent Rivers was lovely, the seafood was delicious, the weather was nice and we had about 515
near-perfect cars to judge on Saturday morning. What more could you ask for? Well, Ken and Lori Barrett drove
the distance from Kennesaw hoping to receive a First Place Grand National on Ken's beautiful Buick GS 400 and this time
Barrett's "bad luck" didn't affect the car (only their reservation in a bed and breakfast inn which closed
recently without notifying them - I'll let them tell you that story). Ken found out quite late Saturday evening
at the Awards Banquet that he had earned the award he was anxious to receive. He called just as we were appropriately
in view of Barrett Parkway on our drive home and you could hear the excitement in his voice. The competition was
stiff, but Ken's tireless efforts to prepare the Buick GS paid off. Congratulations to Ken and Lori!
Sorry we couldn't be there to "hoop and holler" for you at the banquet. In case you missed the announcement at the May meeting, Mark
Reeves also is the proud owner of a blue Buick GS convertible that received its AACA First Junior Award at the Charlotte meet
in April and then its Senior Award at the May show in Metropolis, Illinois. (Get Robert Tucker to tell you about hauling
the car in an enclosed trailer through the floodwaters of Nashville on the way back from Metropolis and arriving home at 3:00
AM)! If Mark doesn't sell it before then, his Buick GS can compete for its Grand National Award
next year in Santa Rosa, California. And we thought 9 hours to New Bern was a long trek! Congratulations to Mark
and Wanda on this major achievement as well! If you have questions about preparing a car for an AACA show, obviously
these guys can help! David & Sally Black

Cartersville Georgia Home of the CHVA Founded
in 1967 "The fun car club."
History of Our
Club
The Contemporary
Historical Vehicle Association (CHVA) was first presented as an idea in December 1966. By March 1967, through small advertisements,
enough nationwide interest had made it clear such a club was wanted by many old car fans. CHVA was born at that time, and
endeavors to give all the benefits of a large, all-encompassing club dedicated to the preservation of the Depression/World
War II era and later vehicles. CHVA has by-laws, which assure democratic operation, both now and in the future, and is a non-profit
organization incorporated in the state of Virginia. The
purpose of the club is to provide a place where publications and activities will be designed to cater to this particular era
of vehicles and auto-related memories. We feel these vehicles deserve a place where those people who consider them to be of
historical and sentimental value, can follow those convictions in fellowship with people of similar interest. At the time
of its founding, CHVA considered 1928 as its earliest historical boundary, and included all vehicles manufactured through
1948. By exception, the 1927 LaSalle, was and is included. These passenger and service motor vehicles are known as "ACTION
ERA VEHICLES," or AEVs. The year 1928 was
selected because it marked the end of the famous Model "T" era, chrome plating was beginning, and the first Plymouths,
DeSotos, and Chrysler-built Dodges were introduced. These and other things make 1928 quite a year of change in the automobile
industry. Beyond that, 1928 was just one year before the stock market crash, which brought on the great depression that marked
the early historical boundaries of the club. The
year 1948 seemed to be a logical stopping place, at the time, because almost all vehicles through that year were carry-overs
in design from the pre-war era. Further, they are well remembered as part of those first three years of the return to normalcy
when new post-war cars were purchased after the buyer's name had worked its way up a long waiting list, often taking years
to do so. In 1974, cars were recognized as they
became 25 years old. By member vote, CHVA currently recognizes all highway vehicles from 1928 thru 20 years of age.
The
Georgia chapter of the CHVA is called the Etowah Bartow region with over 90 current members. We enjoy all kinds of activities
from cruise nights, judged car shows, day trips, weekend tours, and national tours.
To join our club you do not need
to own a classic car the yearly dues are only $40. Simply call Brenda Morris at 770 386-4437 for details.

"Anti-GOP
Taglines"
"The elephant is the perfect symbol for Republicans: they never forget, lead
each other
around by the tail, and think everyone should work for peanuts."
"Republicans are good for one
thing: getting elected every 30 or 40 years so
people can be reminded how terrible they are." - Bob Shrum
Little kid got on the school bus today wearing a T-shirt with the slogan
"Proud to be a Democrat." Bus driver
asked why he was a Democrat and the kid
said "Because my parents are Democrats." "So," said the bus
driver, "What if
your parents were lying, biblethumping, perverted hypocrites? Then what?" The
kid replied:
"Then we'd be Republicans."
Nostradamus Quatrain #652: "From out of the west there will
come a great conqurer
who struggles to master his own native tongue. When he nearly chokes to death on
a pretzel,
beware...for he will force the masses to accept his mark on the
forehead...that mark is a NASCAR logo."

because poor people are hoarding it." - Kevin Rooney, _GQ_, 1984

arctic region covered with ice." - Steve Martin, 1980
