A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Member:

By the time you read this, some of you will probably be on the way to Bellevue for Mustangs Northwest’s Roundup and the Mustang Club of America National Show that comes with it this year. I’m looking forward to seeing this biggest of Mustang shows for the first time. I’m also looking forward to getting the convertible over to Wendy’s on Friday evening for the first time. It’s good to be in the middle of show season!

We certainly had a productive June and early July! We had well over a dozen cars at the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life on June 11th. Seven of us with 4 cars made it to Thunder on the Island at Clover Island on June 16th to hear a good Blues band. Jack and Mary Esther Lippold managed to recruit 33 convertibles and 2 coupes for Pasco’s Independence Day Parade on July 3rd. They also hosted a barbecue at their home that afternoon and it was a good time for everyone who went. I can’t thank them enough for their efforts on behalf of this club.

Twelve days after the July meeting comes the month of August. The Ben Franklin Fair wants us on August 21st. Before that, we need to start the planning meetings for our October 3rd Fall Concours d’Elegance at Columbia Crest Winery in Paterson. As always, the more help we can get, the smaller your workload and the better the show will be.

See you at Round Table at Leslie and Gage on JULY 20th! If you can, come prepared to introduce yourself with a short story about your best or worst experience getting to/from an out-of-town car show.

FALL SHOW PLANNING

If this is the July meeting, you know planning meetings for our Concours d’Elegance can’t be far behind. The show is Sunday, October 3rd. Barring a vote for change by the planning volunteers, planning meetings will also be held at Round Table Pizza,

but on Monday evenings starting at 6:30. The starting date for the planning meetings is open for discussion, but starting on August 2nd would give us time for 8 meetings and still allow us to skip the Mondays that fall in the weeks of the regular monthly Tuesday meetings. The show planning meetings have been starting at 6:30 in the past with most people showing up earlier to get dinner ordered.

A starting point in the planning is the selection of a theme, if any, for the show. Please bring some ideas to the first planning meeting – or send one via somebody else if you can’t attend. We’ll also need general ideas for the T-shirt color and design and a volunteer to work with the shirt printer on the details.

Kim Ziemer has also printed some Save the Date reminders to be passed out at businesses and car shows. If we continue to have pre-registration for the Fall Show, we’ll need to get all the relevant details into a pre-registration form quickly.

We appreciate all the help we can get and we’ll need a lot of it. Thanks.

MUSTANG OFTHE MONTH

This '66 Coupe was a one-owner (family) and a daily driver. A woman at church had it for years after her father gave it to her. It was a daily driver, even after a full restoration (one of Harlan's first) back in 1989. She is a woman of diminutive stature and after a while, wrestling the Pony with no power steering or brakes became too much and her husband convinced her that a Mini-Cooper would be much more to her her liking. This was 2006 and I had first started asking them about selling in in 2001. The time finally came and gave me the first chance to buy before putting it out to the public - I wrote the check on the spot.

It is all all stock, a 200 CI six cylinder automatic. What is different from the factory is the interior was changed from black to red and a an after market AM/FM/cassette player (hi-tech in 1989) was added. It is still in great shape with 67,000 original miles even 20 years after the restoration - a great testament to the quality of work that Harlan Lippold does! I nick named it "Susie Secretary" because that is the demographic that Ford went after with something other than the 289 (Blue Collar Cruiser would also be appropriate). The nickname also harkened back to my high school prom in 1965 when my my Mom's best friend (a secretary) had just purchased a new Mustang and offered to let me drive it to my senior prom. My Dad, the always pragmatic worry-wort put the kibosh on that idea and I was relegated to my '57 two door coupe. That incident started my fetish for the Mustang. I had a 1974 for a year while I was stationed in the Philippines, but that one never really "counted" in my book - a glorified Pinto - sorry Bernie - with a 4 cylinder slug-a-matic. My 2002 GT really fulfilled my dream - that is until Susie Secretary entered my life!
