APRIL
BIRTHDAYS
Hello
Our old cars are close to getting back
on the road again. I still have about
300 feet of foot high snow before I get
to mine but there’s hope. It will be
nice to get some current club activity photos and
events to include in this publication. I hope to get
some from the Pancake run coming up April 8th. In
the meantime get out to the barn and see how your
pride and joy survived the winter.
At the last club meeting I received a pleasant
surprise. President Pat announced that the club had
received an award for our publication “The Brass
Lamp”. I was happy to receive this award but have
to say, it was because of you, the members, that this
happened. Without all the material furnished by you
this would not have taken place. Thank you.

THE BRASS LAMP -
APRIL 2015
THE presidents REPORT
As you’re reading this, the March meeting is now over, and I’d like to thank the Karr’s & Kier’s for
hosting the March event.
As I’m writing this, I am just returning from the AACA Annual Meeting in Philadelphia. We left
Bloomfield at a blistering hot 11 degrees and arrived in Philadelphia at a sweltering 40 degrees.
To sum up the annual meeting, the annual report revealed that AACA is in very good shape. Despite the
economy, in 2013 AACA’s membership on the national level didn’t see any major growth, but they did
manage to gain members to keep up with the ones that had been lost. The AACA Museum increased its’
debt by nearly $65,000, but you have to remember that a considerable amount of time and money was
spent on building the Tucker Exhibit. Even though the debt increased, bear in mind that sometimes you
have to spend money in order to make it. The one thing that surprised me was that a majority the people
that visit the AACA Museum are common folk instead of AACA members. AACA ended the year with
a profit of $118,138. Although there is a profit, profits were down $4 from what they were in 2013.
On another positive note, I am not aware of any resignations from the AACA National Board. Three
directors (Hillary Becker, Harvey Eager and Jeff Stumb) chose not to seek reelection. For several years,
every year when I went to Philly, someone would jump ship at the Annual Meeting. This year the
tradition was broken in which I’m very proud to announce.
As for the AACA judging system, the report that was submitted was extremely vague as to whether they
lost or gained judges. In 2013 we lost 150 judges, but in 2014, the numbers were not posted. If you were
an AACA judge and have left, I will tell you that the school has improved and they finally got a Judging
Manual that is good. The 2014 manual was so bad that I refused to use it and went through 2014 using
my 2013. The only bad thing about the new manual is that it doesn’t list out the rule changes. Without
the rule changes being posted, you increase your chance of having a judge miss the new rule changes and
seeing vehicles being improperly judged at the expense of the car owner. A lot of headaches could be
avoided by printing all the rule changes on one page.
For most of you, you’re probably not aware that AACA has a new national President for 2015. I am very
proud to announce that Don Barlup from New Bloomfield, Pennsylvania is now our new national
president. Don has chaired several national meets and tours and had been the President of the Gettysburg
Region. Some of you may or may not know Don, but he was the one who did the blessing before our
awards banquet at the 2010 meet. He came to our meet driving Conrad Hilton’s old Lincoln Continental
Limousine. For the first time during my years with AACA, we finally have a president who has his own
limousine. Now that our national president has his own limo, don’t expect the president of this region to
follow suit.
As for the rest of us who have had enough of cabin fever, in a few short weeks it’ll be time to dust off the
cars and get them out for the year.
In the meantime, before it gets warm enough to fire up your old car, now is the time to submit an article
of your car so that Jim can have a car of the month. If you’ve already had your car featured in the Brass
Lamp and it’s been a while, dust off your article and resubmit it. The car of the month is how we
promote our hobby as well as become acquainted with the newer members, and I’m sure that the newer
members would love to hear the story about your car.
Pat - PS. The April weather forecast….. Cold, maybe hot, possibly sunny or not….

AMERICAN PICKERS To Film In Canandaigua, New York
The Canandaigua Chamber of Commerce recently received a call from the television show,
American Pickers advising them they plan to be in their area for a taping of their show. We are
helping to spread the word and highlight Canandaigua in advance of the taping date.
Canandaigua is excited to welcome Mike Wolfe, Frank Fritz and Antique Archeology to the area.
The team will film episodes of their hit series AMERICAN PICKERS throughout New York. Filming
will begin next month.
AMERICAN PICKERS is a documentary series that explores the fascinating world of antique ‘picking’
on History. This hit show follows two of the most skilled pickers in the business, Mike Wolfe and
Frank Fritz, as they embark on an epic road trip across the U.S. in search of America’s most valuable
antiques from motorcycles, classic cars and bicycles to one-of-a-kind vintage memorabilia. Mike
and Frank are on a mission to recycle America, restore forgotten relics to their former glory, and
learn a thing or two about American history along the way.
Filming is scheduled to start next month. AMERICAN PICKERS is looking for leads and would love
to explore what you may have. They are on the hunt for interesting characters with interesting and
unique items. Some of what they look for: vintage bicycles, toys, unusual radios, movie memorabilia,
advertising, military items, folk art, vintage musical equipment, vintage automotive items, early
firefighting equipment, vintage clothing, pre-50’s western gear.
A Eblast notice will be sent out when the actual dates are known.
AMERICAN PICKERS is produced by Cineflix Productions for History. New episodes air
Wednesdays at 9pm ET on the History Channel.
Pancakes! Pancakes! Pancakes!
Save the date! Wednesday, April 8th! We will gather for our 3rd annual pancake outing to Cartwright's
Maple Tree Inn in Angelica. We will gather at 8:30am in the Lowe's parking lot, Hylan Drive, by
Marketplace Mall.

THE BRASS LAMP -

GVACS Car of the month - 1930 Model A Ford
Owned by Jim Burlingame
I started out my old car restoring career with a 1924 Model
T Ford that I bought in 1962 from John Clifford in Fairport.
After finishing the body off restoration and driving it for
a couple of years I grew tired of the all the little
idiosyncrasies of the car and wanted a more conventional
vehicle.
At that time prices on old cars were a lot cheaper than now
and I found a fairly decent Model A Deluxe Roadster for
$500. My dad and I drove it back from Syracuse on a cold
(25 degree) day. We took turns as the car had no top. Again
I did a body off restoration and enjoyed the car for many
years.
During this time I was a member of the East Rochester Fire Department and had the opportunity to purchase
their old 1925 American LaFrance Pumper Truck. This was featured in a past Car of the month article so I
will not go into details on that experience. It was also featured on the covers of both the AACA Antique
Automobile magazine and Hemmings Motor News in 1968.
When my first child came along I sold the Model A, donated the fire truck back to the fire dept and bought
a station wagon. I’m sure all you parents are familiar with this story.
Many years later I got the bug again and bought the Model A pictured above from a man in Penfield. It was
restored but I added some extras to make it more of a touring car. It already had hydraulic brakes, alternator,
and sealed beam headlights. I added an electric wiper motor, turn signals, push button starter, converted the
trunk to a rumble seat and also added a synchromesh 4 speed transmission built by fellow club member
Paul Kron. As the trunk was now a seat, I added a rack and real trunk to the rear of the car. After replacing
the bumpers that were, for some reason painted black, with chrome ones I was ready to go. After all these
modifications the car will never win any prizes for originality but drives well in any kind of weather.
I forgot to mention that the car has a feature not found in many (if any) other Model A’s, a solid steel roof.
The technology to punch out a sheet of steel large enough to be a roof was not available in those early times
so they used a canvas like material in the center of the roof. This most always leaked after a couple of years
and had to be replaced. My car has a solid steel roof made from a Buick hood and welded into place. Needless
to say it doesn't leak. No evidence of this renovation is evident. It is indeed, a unusual Model A.
There you have the story of my Model A and other restorations. I am looking forward, as we all are, to
warm weather and getting out on the road again. - Jim Burlingame

Did you agree to write a Car of the Month Article ??? I need some more car
articles to refill the “Can”. Some of you promised Nancy that you would write
one. It is not hard. Look at some of the past Brass Lamps and see what
others have written and pound one out.

At its March 13, 2015 meeting, the Board of Directors.....
....congratulated Editor, Jim Burlingame on receiving the AACA publications Award of Excellence for 2014. Pat
Thorpe will present the award at the GVACS meeting tonight.
...heard a report from Jim Burlingame on his conversation with AACA Publication Chair, Fred Young, regarding the
AACA Newsletter Achievement Awards Program (NAAP)
...heard a report from Membership Chair, Nancy Huffman that current membership stands at 144 members. (21
members from 2014 did not renew for 2015). The 2015 GVACS membership roster has been verified by AACA
which assures that our Region members are also current AACA members.
...heard a report from N. Huffman that the 2015 GVACS Membership Directory and the Listing of Members' Vehicles
has been sent electronically to all members who have email addresses. It was sent via US mail to those 27 members
who do not have email capability.
...reviewed and updated the Activities Calendar
...discussed the 2015 Annual Show.
This is the last year the Dears and the Huffman's will Co-chair the Annual show. To date, no one has
volunteered to work with this year's co-chairs and take over the show planning and execution for 2016.
The Annual Show is a major source of income that allows us to subsidize many of our activities throughout
the year such as free memberships, reduced prices for dinners, provision of free badges for new members,
costs for printing and mailing The Brass Lamp, etc.
Jerry Huffman provided a detailed tracking of expenses and income for the past several years. Net profit has
declined significantly over the past 6 years. Without income from our Annual Show, our $20.00 per year dues
would not support our activities. As noted, no one has responded to the request published in the March issue
of The Brass Lamp to take over the Annual show leadership and planning. Thus, the 2016 Show and future
shows are in jeopardy. The cash reserves on hand would continue, as in the past, to subsidize GVACS events
until reserves are depleted.
Because of heavy work load over a period of months, and a reduction in volunteers available to run the show,
and work on the show (field set-up the day before the show, day of show set-up, registration, parking, raffle,
computing judging results, and clean-up), there will be changes this year to include, but not limited to, the
following:
1. There will be no program booklet full of ads, pictures, etc. It will be replaced by a 1-2 page handout.
2. Class sponsorships will continue and Sponsors will be publicized on show day via the 1-2 page flyer
banners, and announcements throughout the day.
3. Trophies/gifts to owners of National Winner entries will be discontinued.
4. There will not be a Worker's Picnic (which is typically organized by the Show Chairs.)
...approved the 2015 budget considering changes in 2015 show planning.
... approved continuing to participate in the AACA newsletter Achievement Awards Program (NAAP.)
... Board approved discontinuing participation in the Old Cars Weekly, "Golden Quill Award" program
...discussed currency of website information and website maintenance.
...established the next meeting of the Board of Directors to be Tuesday, May 12, 2015 at 7 PM at Dick Barrett's home.
(21 Hallmount Circle, Penfield, NY 585-377-4379 )
Respectfully Submitted, Nancy P. Huffman, Secretary

79th ANNUAL MEETING OF AACA
Philadelphia, PA
Friday and Saturday, February 13th and 14th, 2015
By Bill Boudway
This year’s AACA annual meeting was again held in Philadelphia at the Sheraton Downtown
Hotel.
Over 1040 attendees had a wide variety of interesting and informative hobby related
activities in which to participate or attend. GVACS members there included Don
Kittleberger, Ron, Judy, and David Devine (Dave is our GVACS webmaster), President Pat
Thorpe, Joyce and Past President Doug Drake, and yours truly.
We traveled to Hershey, PA on Wednesday to visit the AACA Museum. The special exhibit
there was the Cammack Tucker Gallery. Well worth the trip.
Also seen were two vehicles donated by GVACS members: Don and Virginia Brush’s Brush
and Doug Susat’s Ford Model T pie wagon.
Early arrival on Thursday meant time for visiting Philadelphia tourist and historical
attractions. The US Mint, Independence Hall, Betsy Ross Home, and a tour to the top of
Philadelphia city Hall. A great view of the city skyline.
On Friday, there was the ladies breakfast, and the Philadelphia city tour. 57 trade show
exhibits were open for visits and questions. Exhibitors included regions hosting tours in
2015, restoration material suppliers, restoration shops, the AACA Library, Museum and
club sales. During the day, there were 49 seminars with topics ranging from “Restoration
Experiences”” to “Your Car And The Law”. Doug Drake and volunteers held a continuous
“seminar” for the younger members in attendance. Friday evening was the AACA Museum
benefit auction. This year I was able to resist the temptation to bid on the many
interesting items offered. - Continued on the next page.

In February as we were receiving record amounts
of snow I put out a call for photos of club members
old cars in the snow. I received one from Howard
Eckert that not only showed his old car in the
snow but it also had an added bonus of having a
image of him at 16 years old with it. So at the
left is a photo taken in 1943 with Howard and his
1934 Studebaker. Jim B - Editor
Bob and Connie Dilger’s visit with Jay Leno
Jay Leno, a frequent customer of Jim Davis, owner of Davis garage in Egypt,
NY called to inquire if he could stop by his shop and take a look at the Model
T Fords being restored at his shop by a number of Horseless Carriage Club
of America members. He also wanted to pick up a number of Turning Signals
for antique cars that Jim manufactures. Jay was staying at the Strathallan
Hotel during his show appearance in Rochester and wanted Jim to pick him
up and bring him out to his shop.
Jim then called Bob Dilger and asked him to shop for Zweigle’s Hot Dags
that Jay had requested for lunch. Upon arrival Jay spotted Jim’s topless old
blue Jeep Cherokee and of course had to try driving it over and through the parking lots many snowpiles. After
treating the jeep like a snowmobile the guys came in to meet Bob and Connie. Bob had previously told Connie
she was in for a surprise on Valentines day. As Connie saw this heavily dressed for winter man she thought “ I
know this man from somewhere”. It was a surprise she would never forget and she got a hug she also will never
forget, (see photo). That evening Bob and Connie attended his show at the Auditorium Theater that was everything
they expected and more. The tickets were a gift to Bob at Christmas from his daughters and their families.
Lunch was lots of fun getting acquainted, much car talk while eating the hot dogs, etc. Jay ate three of them,
even tried one of the pork white hots and liked it. For dessert Lynn Davis, Jim’s wife, had arranged for them to
have some delicious Italian cookies. Jay is part Italian and part Scottish. After picture taking, more car talk, Jay
asked Jim to take him over to see a friend in Pittsford who was 94 years old. That was it…we hugged good-by
and thanked him for his invitation to come to California and visit his collection some day.
Connie said THANKS HON!!! To Bob, and also the Davis’s, it was a Valentines day surprise she will never
forget.

What’s going on at the neighbors
By Pat Thorpe
From time to time, we always want to wonder what the neighbors are doing. While attending one of the region
development seminars, I found out what the neighbors are doing.
Our neighbors to the south (Chemung Valley Region) have joined up with Alfred State College to create a
student chapter of AACA. They have an automotive technologies program and they are in the process of restoring
a 1953 Dodge Power Wagon wrecker. The plan is for them to run the 2015 Great Race with the Power Wagon.
I am not suggesting that we go create a region with a college closer to us, but I do encourage all of you as
members to sit back, watch, and learn. If we can put on a national meet, we have the means to do the same thing
in our area. If we don’t want to do anything in our area, the least that we could do is help the Chemung Valley
Region become stronger.
Of course with those kids racing a Dodge Power Wagon Wrecker brings up images of actor Jonathan Winters
chasing after the money in the 1963 film It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. If you recall, Jonathan chased the
money in a white Dodge Power Wagon Wrecker with a red boom. To our good fortune, the students at Alfred
State College plan to run the race in a wrecker painted blue.
Congratulations to the Chemung Valley Region in working to preserve the hobby, AACA and for bringing the
youth into our hobby.
