PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Greetings Fellow Old Car Enthusiasts!

Really looking forward to seeing everyone at our meeting on Tuesday, June

8 at 7 p.m. at the Mars Historical Society Train Station.

If you go to any cruises in the area, let us know at the meeting. It would be

nice if NHHAC members could park together, fly the club banner, and get

the word out about our wonderful club.

With much of the pandemic

sanctions lifted, my calendar is

filling in quite nicely for the sum-

mer with car events. Two that I

am really looking forward to are

the Mars Rumble and Rockabilly

Ruckus.

July 31 is the second Mars

Rumble from 3-9 p.m. We have

reserved space for the Club at

the Mars Library. You can stay for

the entire time, or whatever fits into your calendar. Cars can arrive at 1 p.m.

Another favorite show of mine is the Rockabilly Ruckus August 6-8 at the

Trumbull County Fairgrounds. We'll be there on Saturday August 7 for the car

show. Lots to do and see at this one! Folks taking their cars for a spin around

the dirt track, pinup girl contest, vintage displays, music, food trucks, and

about 1000 antiques, custom and just plain cool old cars and trucks and

travel trailers.

Hope to see you at the meeting!

The Corvette A retired older coupled returned to a Corvette dealership where the salesman had

just sold the car they had been interested in, to a beautiful, leggy, busty blonde in a

mini skirt and a halter top. The old man was visibly upset. He spoke to the salesman sharply, “Young man, I

thought you said you would hold that car till we raised the $85,000 asking price. Yet, I just overheard you close the deal for $72,000 to the lovely young lady there. And if I

remember right, you had insisted there was no way you could discount this model!” The salesman took a deep breath, cleared his throat and reached for a large glass of

water. Grinning, he sheepishly replied, “Well, what can I tell you? She had the cash

ready, didn’t need any financing help, and Sir, just look at her…how could I resist?” Just then the young woman approached the senior couple and gave the car keys to

the old man. “There you go,” she said. “I told you I could get that idiot to lower the

price. See you later, Dad, Happy Father’s Day!”

Once again…don’t mess with seniors. Thank you Hope Illsley for the submission!


Another Look-back Members were very active participating in many parades by invitation. Early year parades at

Perrysville Firemen, Berkley Hills Athletic Association, Laurel Gardens, and many others. In

addition to producing the NHHAC Show they attended shows in New Castle, Butler and Etna

to name a few.

Touring began about 1977. One of the earliest was by invitation with The Veteran Motor Car

Club of America to Hovis Museum.

In 1982 a Mystery Tour was held.

Excerpts below. What a creative tour!

Some answers: 2. fire hydrant, 3. 1912, 4. Federal, 7. Monterrey Inn, 6. Belt, 8. 15101, 9. Royal Oak School, 12. Railroad Tracks


Steve Illsley’s 1st Lunch/Garage Tour was held on Thursday, May 13th. The

sky was absolutely beautiful with fluffy white clouds and the temperature

was perfect. The back roads made it relaxing and the company was great.

Thank you to Cathy Paine and Judy Coco for the photos!
