Thoughts of Wright's Restaurant Tour, Frostbite Tour, and Thanksgiving are just a few of the "Good

Times" to come. It's all about the food and friends.

The tour season was a big success, thanks to Mike Doyle and all the tour leaders. Minuteman is able

to get so many fun events in one calendar due to the fantastic support of the membership. Not only

does it make the schedule happen, the enthusiasm brings fun and happiness to each event.

Don't forget the auction is the big event for the November meeting. So please bring some interesting

items for " JJ" to do his magic. Remember at an auction, there are no friends, so bid it up and make "

JJ" work hard.

See you all at the Holiday Party in December. It's a good time to celebrate the past 12 months and look

forward to the New Year. John

The Oil Leak

As we travel the back roads and highways in our antiques and moderns, we find ourselves in need of road

service. I am not referring to the type of road service AAA provides like running out of gas, a flat tire, or a

tow. Sometimes we are in need of major assistance.

Well, here at two examples of such extraordinary services. First, the antique scenario was provided by Min-

uteman Rich Batstone and third person edited. He had driven his "new" unrestored tudor to the meet in Hy-

annis last year. On the way home, unaccompanied by other A's, the generator bearing failed. He pulled over

right under the shadow of the Bourne Bridge. Within minutes, a gentleman came into the driveway where he

was parked and asked if he needed help. It turns out the gentleman was going to the shop owned by the com-

pany he worked for on a Sunday to do some personal work. He invited Rich to drive his car into the well

equipped shop.

Rich removed the generator and found it needed a new bearing and a few other things. The gentleman said

one of his co-workers owned a Model A and suggested he would call him to see if he could assist. That man

came right over and as soon as he understood the problem. He offered to remove the generator from his own

car (at home) and bring it back to loan to Rich, so he could make it home. Awesome! Rich installed the loaner

generator and drove home without any problems. The next day he removed the loaner and shipped it back to

his benefactor with great thanks and a few little gifts. This was a perfect example of the kindness and help-

fulness of the Model A community.

The second modern scenario was experienced by Jude and I and our recent road trip to the south for Auntie

Mae’s 94th birthday. The trip itinerary consisted of stops in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Caroli-

na South Carolina, Georgia, three locations in Florida, South Carolina, Pennsylvania and back home. While

leaving Virginia after an overnighter, our 2001 Town and Country Chrysler sedan stuttered one morning

while in reverse and in forward. The problem was only for a few minutes. No problems to and from or Fayette-

ville, North Carolina. This stop was not an overnighter. However, the problem returned as we were leaving

Myrtle Beach South Carolina, after an overnighter. The stutter was a lot worse this time, but it again cleared.

I called my mechanic back home and he recommended a shop in Myrtle Beach. Gary at C&G Auto and Truck

repair was absolutely accommodating. He took the car for a ride and analyzed the computer printout. Of

course, the car was running great right, by now. He had the car for about 45 minutes. He could not find any-

thing wrong with it. There was no charge for his time and effort. He didn’t want to work on something that

wasn’t broke. It was a five-star experience.

Next stop was Savannah Georgia where the car was valet parked for two days. Now it was stuttering badly,

the orange engine light appeared and did not go away. I googled for a local shop and found RPM Autoworx .

Luckily for us, owner Moira Sheehan answered the call and was happy to help. The spark plugs were shot.

The wiring to the plugs was frayed so badly they shorted out after a damp morning start.

We all know the chances we are taking having auto repairs done on the road far away from home. However, if

you find yourself in need of such assistance in Myrtle Beach SC or Savannah, GA I highly recommend these

two five-star repair shops. (See below)

Smart Model A travelers always bring a roster of Model A contacts on their long journeys. It is nice to build

such a list for modern cars as well.

Annual Minuteman Auction Tuesday November 4, 2014

Immediately after the

Minuteman Model A Ford Club Meeting

Featuring: A Live Auction and a Silent Auction

This is the time to get rid of, err, uh, make some of those unused auto parts and collectibles available

to your fellow club members. In our live auction, we’ll sell off your automobilia to the highest bidder, and

in our silent auction, we’ll put out anything you bring on tables – and club members can bid on each item

until the auction is closed.

For those new to the Minuteman Club, this is a fun event where members bring in things they want

to sell or donate to the club – and the club will split the proceeds with you. Past live-auction items have in-

cluded horns, tool sets, and an almost-new auto part that someone really, really needed. The silent auction

has included home-baked goods, house wares, books and you-name-it.

The management does reserve the right to reject any items it deems unsalable, and any unsold items MUST

be taken home with you.

PLEASE Remember to bring items to sell

The Oil Leak

This year's trip to Windham Junction in NH. was quite a treat. We had a total of

29 cars attending which included our own cars and that of the White Mountain Model A

Club from the Concord, NH area. Kay and Jon (owners of WJ) were able to handle this

large group easily and we were soon enjoying dining, shopping, admiring cars, and get-

ting to know each other. A big thank you to Leigh Green from the White Mountain club

who helped to arrange this combined tour.

We are planning to make this happen again next summer and hope to have mem-

bers of the Pine Tree Model A Club from Maine join us, also. Should be a fun gathering.

Thanks all of you for making this a wonderful day

Minuteman Outing 2014 New England Meet

Long Island, NY

Sept 11-14

9 members of the Minuteman club traveled to Long Island to attend the 58th NE Model A Meet in Hauppauge,

NY; hosted by the Model A Club of Long Island. The Lindens, Doyles, Adams, Martones and Bruce Mar-

shall made their way to New London, CT to take the ferry to Orient Point,

NY. Our Model A’s, along with others from CT and MA, were loaded on the

ferry for our 1 and half hour crossing. It was a very calm day which made it a

comfortable ride. Our group split up once we docked, with the Adams’ and

Pat M. going to the hotel; while the Lindens, Doyles and Bruce M. took

two additional ferries to get to the south island and visit the historic Mon-

tauk Light which was commissioned by George Washington. We arrived at

the hotel to see the parking lot loaded with Model A’s.

Friday was a self-touring day and we went to

the scenic Fire Island where we visited the

Fire Island Lighthouse. The weather was picture perfect and we took a walk on

the beach before heading to the lighthouse. We toured the various lighthouse

buildings and got to see the original First Order Fresnel Lens and the mecha-

nisms that turned the lens and kept the oil lamp lit. The view of the light was

pretty neat and we thought the Model A in front of the light would make a good

picture, so we convinced the staff to let us drive up for a photo session, once we

got the school kids on a field trip out of the picture. Lunch at a local diner was a

challenge, to eat all the food they served. One meal could have fed two people.

Friday night was a dinner with a Frank Sinatra impersonator who was pretty good.

Saturday was the Grand Tour. 150 Model As were dispatched on a route the was 35 miles long, which included

some planned “U” turns so we got to see the Model A’s coming and going, so to speak. The tour ended at Deep

Well Farm, the historic home of NYC Mayor Gaynor. Lunch was under the Big Top

tent after we viewed the Model A’s and visited the local country store. From Deep

Well it was only 6 miles to the host hotel, but a few of us continued to the quaint

town of Port Jefferson before making the return trip.

The evening banquet featured a Beatles group which was very good.

The event was the Sunday Awards brunch which was very efficient. The car awards

and the raffles went very smoothly and finished at 10:30, which allowed us to try to

get an early ferry back to New London.

Unfortunately the ferries were booked so

we had to wait for our scheduled reserva-

tion. The nice thing was the ferry had a

large number of Model A’s on board. Once off the ferry it was a

pleasant ride back home. Next year’s meet will be held in Mystic, CT

The Oil Leak

Tour to Martha’s Vineyard

17 - 19 October 2014

Minuteman Outing

The Minuteman Club took it's annual Fall Tour, traveling to the beautiful island of Martha's

Vineyard, a place they last visited as a group in 2006. The tour was led by Tom Zappala, and

included Minutemen (and women) Andy and Marilyn Adams, Rich and Linda Batstone,

Wayne and Susan Champagne, Vin and Nicki DelMastro, Mike and Grace Doyle, Rick and Anna

Gadbois, John and Shirley Jacobson, Jim and Laura Jacobson, Doug and Nan Linden, Bruce

Marshall and Cookie Smith, Craig and Karen Martin, Len and Peg Michalak, Bob Schenk, Jim

Anderson, Steve and Donna Smith, Jack Stokinger and Jo Johnson, And Tony and Jude Zeoli.

Lisa Zappala joined the crew on Friday evening, arriving on the island by alternative transport.

The tour got off to a slow start for the Jacobson and Zappala vehicles, and the Jacobsons responded

quickly, swapping out their Fordor for a more modern vehicle. Tom Zappala took the slower route, coax-

ing his woody wagon down to West Bridgewater before, hours later, pulling out the Triple-A Black card

and calling for a lift home. While the rest of the tour group (including the Jacobson clan) made it down

to Woods Hole in time for lunch and the 2:30 PM ferry, Zappala arrived on the island by days end, on the

8:30 PM boat and driving a Jeep Wrangler.

The Grand Tour of the island went off as scheduled and included a scenic and leisurely jaunt around the

islands six towns. The group stopped at the Martha's Vineyard Camp Meeting Association campground

and took in the beautifully decorated gingerbread houses surrounding the tabernacle. The 16-car caravan

then toured past two of the islands four lighthouses, at East Chop and at West Chop, in Tisbury (or Vine-

yard Haven). The group then proceeded up island, stopping at The Granary Gallery (an antique and art

gallery), Alley's General Store (in West Tisbury), and then for lunch at The Menemsha Fish Market,

where the group enjoyed the "Minuteman Special" of Lobster Rolls and Fish Sandwiches, and Clam Chow-

der is a seaside setting. The group toured to Menemsha and then on to Aquinnah through some of the

prettiest countryside around, past farms and beaches, and with the miles and limes of stone walls remind-

ing all of the vineyards agrarian past. At Aquinnah, the group took in the island's third lighthouse and

the gay cliffs that overlook the island's south shore. The tour finished up by the Edgartown lighthouse, a

stately affair, and the group took in the quaint shops and scenic beauty of Edgartown before returning to

The Island Inn, the groups home for the weekend in Oak Bluffs.

Model As were seen in and around Edgartown and Oak Bluffs all weekend as the group dined in and

around these two towns. On Sunday morning, the group toured collectively over to Vineyard Haven, in

order to catch breakfast at The Black Dog Restaurant and then, sadly, the ferry home. The weather was

fantastic, and the group found itself back on the mainland and back home by the end of the day - and

without event. It was a great weekend for all.

After having helped establish the Pinellas Model A Restorers (Pin-MAR) in 1964 and being drafted for the

Vietnam Conflict in 1965, Tony Zeoli attended his first club meeting in 49 years. He finally happened to

be in Florida on a club meeting date. He thanked the audience for keeping the club alive, for expanding

the interest to all antiques automobiles and for keeping the name Pin-MAR. He announced that he located

two other charter members in Brooksville, Florida, Pat and Buster Webb. Buster was Tony’s supervisor

at Publix in 1962. Buster introduced Tony to the Model A during that employment. Pat and Buster are,

again, members of Pin-MAR

.

President Ron Roberson and all members in attendance made Jude and Tony feel quite welcomed. It was

a pleasure for Tony re-meet fellow charter member Rich Fraze. They compared memory notes in which

Rich had more to contribute. Finally, It was special privilege to meet Tony’s club newsletter editing

counterpart Sherrie Roberson for , The Pin-MAR News, She has been his inspiration for the Oil Leak.

weekly meeting. There is usually something interesting

going each week.

For example, Don Ross brought a very nice such car to

our October 15, gathering. It is registered as a 1981 but it

is a cross between a 1928 Mercedes and 1935 Duesenberg.

for our discussion enjoyment. We meet at the Big Apple

begins at 08:00 and lasts until … Where business is boom-

ing and help is needed. Join us!

This quilt was on display at a quilt shop in western MA Tony Zeoli, self-appointed quilt critic, gave the quilt (on

the left) craftsmanship a rating of 78%. Now, look at the same styled quilt done by Joyce Croci that has earned

a 97%, by Tony. If you look closely at both quilts you will be able to see the superior quality of Joyce’s quilt. Nice!

MAFFI’s President on Model A Day IV

Dear Club Liaison Friends,

Model A Day IV is in the history books. It was a fun and successful event, as was the Annual

Trustee Meeting which took place on Thursday, September 18th.

At the meeting we had a full agenda, welcoming in new Trustees and saying a temporary goodbye

to departing trustees. New trustees Stan Braden, Gene Tallone, and Jim Thomas were sworn

in using a newly adopted oath of office, which all trustees present, chose to take as

well. Departing trustees at the meeting were Howard Truchot, Phil Ierardi and Randy

Sierk. Gene Tallone was elected as the new treasurer to replace Howard Truchot. Stan

Braden's wife Carol took notes for use in preparation of the minutes.

Each trustee was given an opportunity to make a report on their areas of responsibility. An in-

vestment committee was appointed with their first report due on Feb 1. Many other topics such

as storage, expansion, insurance, finances and future strategies were discussed and motions

passed. When ready, the minutes will publish the plans and decisions made.

Friday was a work day, doing museum upkeep projects and preparing for the big day on Saturday.

On Friday Night a live band played era music for the Cruise-In which was attended by people in

Model A's as well as a variety of there interesting cars. It was a beautiful evening - the Diner was

open, the Model A Museum was open, pretty much Heaven on Earth.

On Saturday more than 100 Model A's rolled onto the grounds and a crowd of several hundred

people enjoyed a day that threatened rain, but the rain stayed away until late afternoon. Special

display cars in front of the museum included the newly donated (Bill Edstrom) Taxi, the re-

cently donated Deluxe Phaeton and Roadster Pickup (Paul Fagan). Also a Model N, and two

Model K Fords and a Town Car were brought for the day by Tim Kelly. Inside was the recently

donated (Beckwith) '29 roadster. The Secrets of Speed Society held their annual gathering at the

same time and added a lot of interest to the overall event.

Seminars by Anne Neely-Beck; Ron Ehrenhofer, Dick Dorato and Rich Falluca were very

well attended.

The ceremony to induct the first two members of the Model A Ford Hall of Fame, Henry and Ed-

sel, went off well. A new display has been created so that every year new members can be induct-

ed and honored with a photograph on the museum walls.

Ken and Helen Ehrenhofer were presented with the annual Volunteer of the Year plaque for

their many contributions to the success of the foundation over the past years.

The Swap Meet was very successful with lots of good Model A items and other vendors mixed

in. A rebuilt engine was offered in a silent auction. It was a great start for what we hope will be a

reason to attend Model A Day at Gilmore every year.

We haven't tallied up the income from the gate, sales and swap meet, but that will be done

soon. It usually takes Gilmore a little while to determine the bottom line gate receipts. But one

thing is for sure; all these things do not happen without a lot of hard work by a lot of peo-

ple. Thank you all for your individual and collective efforts to make it a good event. We keep im-

proving and I know it will be even better next year.

Thanks,

Stan Johnson, President

Tech Talk WARNING: Be careful greasing throw-out bearing collar housing. Putting too much

grease can cause problems. I experienced such a problem first hand, after failing to notify my

mechanic about using too much grease. For a test ride, I took my 1930 Town Sedan the club’s

Breakfast Club gathering, a 28 mile run. I could not shift without grinding in all three gears

Fortunately for me, shifting during the ride back home was trouble free. Thanks to Jack

Stokinger and Pat Martone, I was reminded to read the following from the famous model A

Lubrication Chart:

Lubricate the clutch release bearing every 2000 miles (Pressure gun). This is done by re-

moving the hand hole cover and turning the bearing until the lubricating fitting ids on top, and

easy to get at. NOTE: The clutch is a dry disc type clutch and should never be oiled.
