Splinters From The Chair he Klondike Day’s Breakfast was held last Sunday. I was

away in Florida on business however Mary went and said

we had another great turnout. I spoke with Lorne tonight

to confirm there were 51 people for breakfast and about

22 stayed for lunch. Thank you to all the cooks, helpers, and

the Schmidt family for hosting this event at their home once

again.

If you have not already done so it is still not too late to regis-

ter for our “Exploring the Lake Region” Oldies Tour coming up

on August 15th through the 18th. The cut-off for giving the

various meal venues final numbers is August 10th so don’t

hesitate if you are thinking about what to do on that weekend.

We presently have 20 registrations with 39 people planning to

attend. If you cannot make the tour you might want to see the

cars off at 9:30 AM on Thursday, August 15th. We will be

leaving from the Country Roads Tempo on the Yellowhead

Highway just East of Highway 21 in Strathcona County.

Another couple of events coming up are the Mystery Tour on

Wednesday, August 7th departing from the Old Timer’s Cabin

@ 7:00 PM and a tour to the Reynolds Alberta Museum on

Sunday August 11th. Additional information on both of these

events is included under the Schedule of Events in the Running

Board.

While we are still in summer and looking forward to at least

two months of good touring weather I would like to remind you

that with the fall approaching the club will be looking for candi-

dates to run for the board for 2014. We will be commencing

The Edmonton Antique Car Club

he Edmonton Antique Car Club is registered in the Province of Alberta as a

nonprofit society, interested in historical motor vehicles and related collectible

items. Our club is dedicated to the acquisition, restoration, preservation, sal-

vage, maintenance of and promotion of interest in cars from the following

categories.

The Horseless Carriage Era (1892 to 1905)

The Brass Era (1906 to 1915)

The Vintage Era (1916 to 1927)

Early Production (1928 to 1935)

Late Production (1936 to 1948

Classics (1925 to 1948) (Defined by The Classic Car Club of America.)

Our objectives also include encouraging the retention of such vehicles in Al-

berta, promoting driving tours, displays and other activities our vehicles can

participate in, and educating the general public in the historical contribution of

the automobile in the development of our Canadian heritage.

Our membership is varied as to careers and cars, and extends country wide. To

qualify as a member, new applicants must be at least 14 years of age; must

complete an application form (which is submitted to the club executive for

approval), and pay a nominal membership fee of $40.00 per year (spousal,

additional $20). It is not necessary to own a vintage car, but merely to have an

interest in antique auto memorabilia.

In the club discriptor on the lower half of page 2, please add back in the first two categories of auto-mobile: The Horseless Carriage Era (1892 to 1905); The Brass Era (1906 to 1915).

Please add the following to the Schedule of Events for 2012:

Sat. May 26, Fort Assiniboine to Bar-rhead Run (contact Steve Bemount) Sun. Jun 3, EACC 50th Anniversary Picnic at Leduc West Wed. Jun 20 thru Tue. Jun 26, EACC 50th Anniversary Tour

General Meetings are usually held on the first Wednesday evening of each

month, with tours and events being dispersed throughout the calendar year. The

Annual General Meeting is held each year in January.

Our club members participate in a variety of events and activities which pro-

mote social interaction among members, and give them an opportunity to drive

their cars and display them to the general public. Annual events include the

Klondike Breakfast, the Corn Roast, and mystery tours. Senior visits are a

way for our club to give back to the community. Members also participate in

community events such as Sunday in the City , Father’s Day in the Park, Crys-

tal Kids, and harvest festivals. Our club participates in the annual International

Meet in which members from all corners of Western Canada and the North-

west United States come together for a wonderful exchange of camaraderie,

trophies and good old-fashioned fun.

Our club publishes a monthly newsletter, The Running Board. Members are

encouraged to submit articles and other items of interest to the editor for publi-

cation. As a member you are entitled to receive a copy of each issue and to run

free classified ads in the “Swap Meet” section.

Club members as a group have a wealth of experience and knowledge of all

aspects of the antique car hobby which they will share with you. Bring your

particular problem to our membership and you will be probably be directed to

an expert in that field.

with nominations to fill the board positions being vacated at the

end of this year at the October General Meeting.

Please give the opportunity to serve your club some serious

consideration over the next couple of months – I know from

first-hand experience becoming involved on the board and tak-

ing an active role in running the club is very rewarding and

gives you an opportunity to work with a fine group of dedicated

individuals. I would particularly recommend this to our newer

members as a term on the board is a great way to meet many if

not the majority of the membership over a relatively short pe-

riod of time.

Until Next Month - Happy Motoring

Senior Visits by Ken Huff

Pilgrim’s Hospice Society July 3 The afternoon of July 3rd was a very nice warm day to visit the

Churchill Manor Retirement Residence July 12 Friday July 12th turned out to be a great day for a Seniors Visit

to Churchill Manor located on 34 Ave in Millwoods. This was

the largest turnout we have had so far this year. It must have

something to do with the rumour of a BBQ. Yes, it did happen

Another bright sunny day to visit this facility located on 140

52nd Annual International

Antique Car Meet by Steve Bemount

The 2013 International was hosted by the Central Alberta

Vintage Auto Club of Red Deer and was based at the Olds Col-

lege in Olds, Alberta, from Friday June 28 through Monday

July 1. The weather was beautiful, the fellowship outstanding,

and the automobiles provided plenty of eye-candy for the

heartiest of enthusiasts.

The cars arrived on Friday afternoon. Following registra-

tion, all assembled for a Show and Shine between 6 and 8 p.m.

in the parking lot at the College. Participants were divided in

their choice of lodging and you picked one touring activity for

each of Saturday and Sunday from three touring choices. So

the Show and Shine was really the only time that the cars were

all together in one place, and what a fine sight it was. This is

also when most of the voting went on for the various people’s

choice awards. The Show and Shine was followed by the tradi-

tional Wine and Cheese Reception.

The three touring choices for Saturday and Sunday were the

PaSu Sheep Farm, the Discovery Wildlife Park and Innisfail

Historical Village, and the Weidner and Gilmour Automobile

Collections. We picked the Innisfail attractions for Saturday

and the automobile collections for Sunday. I must say that the

bear show at the Wildlife Park is quite remarkable. It is really

amazing how those huge animals have been trained to star in

movies and commercials. But of course the true highlights for

this incurable addict were to be found in the two automobile

collections. Robert and Dave Weidner had their collection

beautifully displayed out in the sunshine. I particularly enjoyed

seeing the 1936 Auburn Roadster, the 1930 Cadillac Fleetwood

V8 Roadster, and two Cords: a 1931 L29 Sedan and a 1937

Supercharged Convertible that once belonged to movie actor

Dick Powell. Lois Gilmour and her son Parker were our hosts

for the Gilmour collection. Lois is Charlie Parker’s daughter

and she has some beautiful pieces collected by both her late

father and her late husband Harold Gilmour. Charlie’s legen-

dary 1913 Lozier is quite exceptional; Charlie drove this car

across Canada in the first Coast-to-Coast Tour in 1967. Also of

special interest was Harold’s 1932 Stutz 8 Cabriolet, the 1922

Kissel Gold Bug, and the 1925 Pierce-Arrow Touring that is

believed to have originally belonged to silent screen legend

Mary Pickford.

Saturday night’s banquet had a Roaring Twenties theme and

a number of participants dressed the part. Once again, Lillie

Quinn of Lethbridge and Ted Weale of Calgary were recog-

nized for perfect attendance at all 52 Internationals. The Fur-

thest Driven Award went to Doug and Karen Winz who drove

their 1966 Chevrolet Caprice from Missoula. The Oldest

Driver was Myrl Goddard, age 86, of Olds who drove a 1931

Ford A Convertible Sedan. The Youngest Driver was Cheryl

Cass, age 44, of Okotoks who drove a 1971 VW Superbeetle.

The Hard Luck Award went to Boyd Lampman of Calgary who

had fuel pump problems

with his 1952 Studebaker

Commander. The Club

Participation Award for the

club with the greatest per-

centage of its members at-

tending, other than the host-

ing club, went to the Alberta

Pioneer Auto Club of Cal-

gary.

In addition to the three

traditional International

Awards (the Ed Pargee,

Floyd Skogen, and Leah

Robertson Awards), the

hosting Red Deer club, at its

discretion, offered five addi-

tional awards for this year:

Best Pre 30, Best 30s, Best

40s, Best 50s, and Best 60s;

all were done by popular

vote. The Best Pre 30

Award went to Rod Doupe

Best Pre 30 - Rod Doupe's 1929 DeSoto Touring

Supercharged 1937 Cord Conv. from Weidner Collection

Charlie Parker's 1913 Lozier from the Gilmour Collection

Ron and Danin, People's Choice

Award Winners

7

Calgary. Best 40s was a 1947 Studebaker Champion Converti-

ble owned by Randy and Joan Ross, Lethbridge. Best 50s was

a 1951 MGTD, Jim and Linda Herbert, Calgary. And the Best

60s was a 1962 T-Bird Landau, Alf Johnson, Calgary.

This year’s winner for the Ed Pargee People’s Choice

Award, 1948 and older, went to EACC’s own Ron and Danin

Bodnar for their 1932 Franklin Dietrich Speedster. The Floyd

Skogen Award for People’s Choice, 1949 and newer, went to

Malcolm and Sharon Fischer of Stettler for their 1958 Buick

Roadmaster. There were two winners for this year’s Leah

Robertson Award for the oldest car driven on the tour: Walter

Bushfield of Calgary and Martin and Sylvia Mathon of Innifail;

both arrived with a 100-year-old 1913 Overland 69T.

Things wound up on Monday morning with an omelet-in-a-

baggie breakfast at the Saby Ranch west of Olds. There were a

total of 97 vehicles and 197 people participating in this year’s

International with 222 attending the banquet. There were 16

EACC vehicles in attendance. The members of CAVAC are to

be commended for a job very well done!

The 2014 International will be held in Missoula, Montana,

from Friday June 27 through Sunday June 29. The Missoula

Pioneer and Classic Auto Club have set a new standard by dis-

tributing their 2014 registration forms at this year’s Interna-

tional. The International will be in Lethbridge in 2015, Great

Falls in 2016, and here in Edmonton in 2017 (it’s not too early

to start thinking about 2017). These are great events. Where

else can you meet fellow enthusiasts from across the Canadian

prairies and the northwestern U.S.? The International Tours

deserve your support.

The International

by John Eggertson

The Pasu Farms has been on our list to go to for years. We

were always too early or too late going by but thanks to the

International we made it. We had a great deal of fun at the Pasu

Sheep Farm. The lady who owned the farm gave us a great talk

on the history of the farm. They had no intention to get into the

sheep business but as time went on they found themselves in

the business. They created a fabulous Gift Shop. My wife had a

ball there, many trinkets. Their restaurant was great we had a

Mediterranean sandwich and it was very tasty and right on

track.

The banquet was a great success and great food and we got

our second table decoration from an International Meet, and

proudly display them together.

The next day we went to Innisfail Game Farm. The pictures

show some of the animals there. I had to be careful to stay

down wind on the predators as we had our little Shih Tzu with

us, but got some good pictures of the undulates and BIG BIRD.

The next day we went for breakfast at a club members farm and

had a great time. Breakfast in a bag? Yes and it was a great

omelet. A lot of good fellowship followed by good byes.

The Lady Michelle and I had the pleasure

of hosting the Model T World Tour folks for

three days in late July as they passed through

Edmonton on their way around North Amer-

ica. The brainchild of Dirk and Trudy Reg-

ter, this remarkable journey began in 2012

with a run from Holland through the Middle

East and down to South Africa. After a

Christmas break during which their 1912

Ford T Touring and 2006 Land Rover De-

fender support vehicle were shipped to Hous-

10

ton, TX, the tour resumed with a circle

around North America. For 2014, their goal

is the bottom of South America and back up

to Brazil. In 2015 they continue on around

New Zealand and Australia, then up through

Asia and home to Holland. See map above

for more details, and be sure to visit their

website at www.tfordworldtour.org.

When I asked Dirk his preference for high-

way or gravel roads before driving to Leduc-

West, the answer was an emphatic “gravel!”. A

man after my own heart, and very much in tune

with the route we developed for the next leg to

Thunder Bay, right. Just 2,100 km by the Yel-

lowhead and Trans Canada, the team will actu-

ally travel 3,600+ km by way of Fort

McMurray, Edam SK (the Regters hail from

Edam, Holland), Prince Albert, Flin Flon and

The Pas.

They pick up a fresh crew in Thunder Bay

on August 20th (and also Trudy, who has been

home with the kids and grandchildren since mid

-July) and make for Atlantic Canada before

heading back south to the massive AACA

Swap Meet in Hershey, PA on Oct. 9-12.

Scenes From The Road

Camel pays homage to the Mighty T Ford

near Atbara in Eastern Sudan.

A broken king pin turned the T into a tricy-

cle, and prompted this 4-hour repair session in

the 45°C Tanzanian sun. Dirk and Trudy’s son

Dirk-Jan (at left) and daughter-in-law Inge were

a heavy fitted tarp if there are any concerns

about prowlers.

The cracked wishbone brace gets welded

in Tanzania. Dirk and Trudy drove this car

from Peking to Paris in 2007 and learned

much on that trip about vehicle preparation.

I had the pleasure of driving the T a few

miles and was blown away by how tight

and solid it felt and drove despite all the

miles and roads it has seen so far this trip.

problems of note during the Africa leg were

two flat tires, a broken wheel and failed

The Foothills Model T Ford Club in Cal-

gary is an active group of over 90 members

admitting to, depending whom you ask, some

200-300 cars. Jerry de Jong and I joined five

Ts from Calgary for their second annual

camping tour, happening last month in North

eastern Alberta…

Photos top to bottom, left to right:

The high point for most of us was a visit

to CFB Cold Lake and a tour of a real live

CF18 Fighter Jet, including a photo-op on the

tarmac and a few minutes each in the cock-

pit. We totalled six cars but two stayed at the

campground, one with a broken crankshaft

and the other all set up for sleeping. Folks in

the middle are Rhonda Ireland, our base host,

and CF-18 pilot and tour guide Captain

Craig “Waldo” Reidiger (credit Cpl Audrey

Solomon, 4 Wing Imaging).

Captain Craig excused himself after al-

most an hour as he was due for a training

flight... and we saw this jet and several others

take off an hour or so later (Robb Wolff

photo).

Those Calgary sissies all trailered their

cars to Vegreville while Jerry and I motored

right past Veg to Mannville the night before

to visit a friend. We met these Hutterities at a

crossroads and had an impromptu car show

on the way.

Robb Wolff had a lovely period-look

camper and canoe on his T plus a variety of

vintage cookware — breakfast on Day 2 was

enhanced with fresh “cinnamon cake a la

Robb” baked in a 1920s camp oven on the

Coleman stove. Breakfast and most suppers

were communal meals in the campgrounds,

and lunches were group or on-our-own affairs

at local restaurants.

pot Hack, with full side curtains and uncom-

mon but very striking barrel-sided body (RW

Rose Lillo brought this cute little portable

gramophone and a selection of vintage 78s.

Tom van Dijk’s wife stayed home in Cal-

gary but he brought Daisy, one of two pups on

tour, who seemed to really enjoy the trip but

never did catch any of those squirrels.

Our first lunch stop was in St. Paul to visit

the 1967 Centennial UFO Landing Pad and

where Team Bamfords Garage picked up a

third member, “Paula” the Inflatable

Alien (RW photo).

The Calgary cars travelled 389 miles over

five days, trailer to trailer. Jerry and I

clocked 640 miles total at an impressive 27

mpg (and an all-too-typical 300 miles per

quart of oil).
