Congratulations to our CHVA of GA
President and first lady

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!

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.

Political Satire

(Warning: If you don't like freedom of speech maybe your the problem!)

"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."

Rush: omni-ignorant (ignorant on all subjects)

Rush: a kinder and gentler Nazi

"Pat Buchanan wants a blinder, more Gentile nation." - Dennis Miller

"The Religious Right scares the *hell* out of me." - Sen. Barry Goldwater
(R-AZ, ret.)

"A conservative is a man who wants the rules changed so that no one can make a
pile the way he did." - Gregory Nunn

"Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are
conservatives." - John Stuart Mill

"If guns are outlawed, how will conservatives win any arguments?" - Unknown

"Guns don't kill people -- it's those nasty little bullets!"


"I'm not worried about the bullet with my name on it... just the thousands out
there marked 'Occupant.'" - Unknown

"The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for
selfishness." - John Kenneth Galbraith

"If the Republicans will stop telling lies about the Democrats, we will stop
telling the truth about them." - Adlai Stevenson (1900-1965)

The conservative credo: "Mister, we could use a man like Herbert Hoover
again..."

"The Republican Convention opened with a prayer. If the Lord can see his way
to bless the Republican Party the way it's been carrying on, the the rest of
us ought to get it without asking." - Will Rogers, 1928

"Facts are stupid things." - Ronald Reagan

"I would have voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964." - Ronald Reagan

"If you've seen one redwood, you've seen them all." - Ronald Reagan

"Why should we subsidize intellectual curiosity?" - Ronald Reagan

"I still think Nancy does most of his talking; you'll notice that she never
drinks water when Ronnie speaks." - Robin Williams, _Playboy_, 1982

"Reagan's platform seems to be: 'Hey, I'm a big friendly guy and I need lots
of sleep.'" - Roy G. Blount

"Reaganomics, that makes sense to me. It means if you don't have enough money,
it's because poor people are hoarding it." - Kevin Rooney,  _GQ_, 1984

"I believe that Ronald Reagan can make this country what it once was--an
arctic region covered with ice." - Steve Martin, 1980

"Ronald Reagan was the least knowledgeable president I ever met." - Rep.
Thomas P. "Tip" O'Neill Jr. (1912-1994)

"If Reagan had run unopposed, he would have lost." - Mort Sahl

"Ronald Reagan is a triumph of the embalmer's art." - Gore Vidal

"If Reagan's the answer, it must have been a very silly question." - Anonymous

Republicans: "Only the SOS should happen."

W.H.I.N.E. - The Conservative Broadcasting System

Call the conservative hotline: 1-800-WHINE.

The NRA Loaner: because when you need a gun, 5 days is a LONG LONG time!

"By our readiness to allow arms to be purchased at will and fired at whim, we
have created an atmosphere in which violence and hatred have become popular
pastimes." - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
    
"With all the violence and murder and killings we've had in the United States,
I think you will agree that we must keep firearms from people who have no
business with guns." - Robert F. Kennedy, May 1968

I carry in my mind...a world with an unborn JERRY FALWELL!

"Rush Limbaugh stole my whole act." - Howard Stern

A gun kills a child every two hours. - The Children's Defense Fund
