PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

We had a great time at the After-Christmas dinner at Luciano’s thanks to Jack Swaney and his helpers. To those of you going to Walnut Creek, Ohio in March, have a safe and exciting weekend. Good luck to Joe and Acela DiSalvo on their move to Florida. We thank you for all the years you prepared the show booklet for the annual car show. Thank you, Sean O’Neill, for stepping up to take Joe’s place. It’s not too early to start planning summer car trips. I am sure there are places you would like to go and things you would like to see. See you in March. Michael

Car Trivia ————-

See answer on

page 11

Q: In what model year did Cadillac introduce

the first electric sunroof?


BEAUTY RESTORED Bob & Marty Goetz’s 1956 Thunderbird was worse for wear after their acci-

dent while on the club’s Kalamazoo trip. Luckily, they were not hurt. Here is

the transformation of the car from bruised and battered to beautiful and

shiny again. Thanks to Jack Swaney for the photos.

Jack presented this trophy to

Bob at the After Christmas Party

in honor of his adventure.


Annual NHHAC After Christmas Party

Many thanks to Jack Swaney for organizing this year’s party, held at Luciano’s Italian Brick Oven in Mars.

There were party favors for everyone.

Thumbs up all around!


The shrimp and zucchini were big hits.

The food was plentiful and delicious.

Steve savored the chocolate mousse cake.

Jack pitched in to help. Antoinette wondered if he expected a tip.


Everybody enjoyed their beautiful decorative plates. Thanks, Jack!

Steve was the first member to register for the party

Bob with his award for the most exciting adventure of the year.

A wife was curious when she found an old negative in a drawer and had it made into a print. She was

pleasantly surprised to see that it was of her at a much younger, slimmer time, taken many years ago on

one of her first dates with her husband. When she showed him the photo, his face lit up. "Wow, look at

that!", he said with appreciation,

"That's my old Ford!"
