Sometimes the wheels fall off. Best efforts notwithstanding,
even the best plans get derailed. Such is the case with our spring meet in Greenville, South Carolina.
Due to concerns with the corona virus, the meet has been cancelled. We will return to Greenville
for our spring meet 2021.
Our fall meet in September is coming along nicely. We will keep you updated on this meet
with each edition of the E-News.
Also in this issue are pictures of a barn find G convertible in Germany.
Look for it in the Members Say section.
This car had not been known to the club before and is in great condition. How wonderful
to see that cars like this are still out there waiting to be discovered.

Blasts From The Past
From newsletters of the 1970's, 80's and 90's, here are stories that haven't
seen the light of day for years and deserve another look.

We were lucky to secure a barn find in Germany, which belonged to the same family since 1963. It´s been sitting in a car port for the past 20 years, after the owner died. The widow sold it to us a week ago and we are about to bring it back on the road.
To our knowledge it was delivered to a dealer in Antwerps, Belgium. He sold it to a local lady. After having driven it for 1,400 miles she gave it back to the dealer as it was too big for her. The current family saw it when the had their DeSoto inspected and traded it. The following decades they had a good time driving it all over Europe. Click here for more pictures.

A while back someone asked about the position
of the H on the 62 trunk lid.
Here is a picture from an original car.
You can see this H is crooked.
On some cars it is straight.

January 23rd, Marnie and I arrived in Brisbane and were met at the pier by April and Mick Maxwell
who took us directly to Henry and Caroline Schleimer’s home
for a fabulous tea with great culinary treats!
We got to tour Henry and Caroline’s “American Garage” and see Caroline’s right hand drive
‘65 Mustang convertible and Henry’s C coupe. Both white and spectacular!
Then Mick took Marnie and I for a fabulous riding and walking tour of Brisbane.
Just a splendid day with Club members from Australia!
We are amazed at how our hobby is beyond borders!

I had the vibration dampener and the crank pulley on my 300F with AC rebuilt by
the Damper Doctor. Here are pictures of the finished product.
The AC section of the crank pulley is rubber isolated,
unique to AC cars.
I received my new AC hoses for the F rebuilt by Classic Auto Air. They did
a very nice job
and also rebuilt the original dryer.

The
restoration of E 292 continues with work on the interior. In order to
get the power seat
out of the car in one piece, I unbolted the seat from the floor, turned it over carefully in the car and built a skid that bolted onto the underside to carry it out in one piece. I bench tested it and determined the drive was faulty. Disassembly was easier than I expected, but took photos of each piece as it came off for easier reassembly. Thankfully, Murray Park had a used drive. It all cleaned up well for a fresh coat of paint and clear coat.
Interesting to note the stamp on the frame notifying that a patent was applied for, should the Club be recording such stampings. The seats and interior will be redone with a complete Goers interior (purchased in 2010 and kept in a climate controlled environment).
