This is it, everyone: the long-awaited compilation of VFR Emeritus Cars, as assembled from records of shows past. Please note: this is published here for final review and comment. If you see something that doesn’t strike you as correct, now’s the time to speak up. Once we turn the page to October, that’s it for comments and corrections: we’ll accept what we have then as correct. So give this a once-over and provide any feedback you may have to Chief Judge Ronnie Hux at Cadiman59@aol.com or to John Barry at jdrbarry@comcast.net |
 Long-time VFR
member JIM FIELDS is back in the area: he is currently at The Oaks
in Wyncote, PA. He is settling in, and would welcome visits from
fellow classic car fans. According to his son, shorter visits (on
the order of 30 minutes to an hour) work best. He'd also welcome
cards, letters, and the like (who doesn't like mail?). His address
is: |

| The Valley Forge Region Re-Adopts The 1931 Cadillac | ||||||||||||||||||

|
The Valley Forge Region “adopted” a 1931 Cadillac for one year. The “Adoption Program” allows private parties or organizations to “adopt” a display car. The adoptive parent provides some financial support to the AACA museum to help in the maintenance and cleaning of the vehicle. Various regions of the CLC have participated in this program over the past few years. The adoption was held during the Inter-Regional Meet between Central Pennsylvania and Upper Susquehanna Regions. The meet was also well attended by CLC members of neighboring regions as well. Southeast Region VP Lee Herbermann and myself also attended. You can read more about the car “Adoption Program” on the AACA Museum website. |

After a brief description of the car’s special features and specs, the formal proceedings began when David said: “We have gathered here to witness the adoption of this 1931 Cadillac Town Sedan by the Valley Forge Region of the Cadillac & LaSalle Club.” VFR president Marty Watkins was called forward and was asked: “In the name of the Valley Forge Region, will you adopt this 1931 Cadillac Town Sedan.” After receiving his affirmative reply, the Valley Forge Region was declared the adopter when David continued: “By the powers vested in me by the Museum’s board of directors and as Chair of the Adopt-a-Car Program, I hereby make it known that this 1931 Cadillac Town Sedan is adopted by the Valley Forge Region.” He then presented an Adoption Certificate to the VFR president.
After the adoption ceremonies, the Museum’s curator, Jeff Bliemeister, conducted the group on a tour through several areas of the Museum’s complex that are not open to the public, including the detail shop, Jim’s Place and the Taylor storage facility. |
