PRESIDENT:
Now that I am in this position of President of this club, I fully intend to do the very best I possibly can
for the benefit of everyone in this club. This club is not about any one individual, it’s all about
everyone in this club. I’d like to just say I’ve been in clubs in Sydney and the Central Coast, and
this by far is the best club I have ever been in and I’m sure Marilyn would agree.
Since the AGM I have had a few phone calls regarding different things, so I thought I would go to
the DFT to find out first hand. I spoke to a lady at the DFT and she said to me, that I chair the
General & Committee Meetings and to delegate jobs to people on the committee, always act in the
best interest of the club and its members. She also advised me that all paperwork must be true and
correct, especially the Secretary to keep true and correct minutes and other documents and that the
Treasurer to also keep true and correct financials, if they are not correct committee members can
be held liable. She then recommended that we get an impartial and independent audit, so this is
what I am going to do. We will then be able to move ahead.
VICE PRESIDENT:
Terry said we had a great club and was pleased that his daughter had joined the club and now had
to let her drive one of his many cars.

Palour obtained a new head of hair and lots of tattoos. We certainly all had a great laugh and the
laughter certainly overshadowed the bleak day. The events co-ordinator would like us to return

Pleasant Encounters of the 1950’s Kind.
A few years ago while researching the history of my 1936 Cord 810 sedan with
Serial No 1586A, I came across a picture of it in Jim Brockman’s Collection located
in the ACD Club web site. The car had a two tone colour scheme with a grey body
and dark blue fenders. The picture was taken in 1957 in 9 th St Auburn during the
Reunion. The number plate on the car at that time was issued for 1957 in Canada. I
later found out it was owned and driven by William Horning of Waterdown, Ontario.
William was an early Canadian member of the ACD Club.
Earlier this week (11/11/14 ) I was looking at You Tube and happened to see the
following title, “Classic Car Club of America CARavan 1957” actually the year 1957
took my attention. So I opened it up and watched a procession of all sorts of old cars
to the music of Scheherazade by Rimsky Korsakov. Then before my eyes was a
grey Westchester with dark blue fenders. I nearly fell off my chair as I watched it
appear a few more times during the film. I was mesmerised and must have watched
many times. The “CARavan” was run August 18-23, between New York and
Milwaukie via Niagara Falls, covering a distance of around 1000 miles one way.
William must have continued on to Auburn where the picture was taken in 9 th St.
I shared the You Tube film address http://youtu.be/1F5Fy72fmG8 with George Van
Nostrand in Canada, who owned 1586A from April 1958 for any comments. He
replied that he didn’t know William Horning was a member of the CCCA however in
those days he could have just gone along. Regardless it was amazing to the car in
colour all those years ago and just part of the scene. I also shared the film address
with other ACD friends around the world.
Three days later an email arrived from Ric Simpson in Canada thanking me for
sharing that wonderful old film. Ric then went onto relate how earlier that same day
two Jehovah’s Witnesses came to call on him. One was elderly while his companion
was considerably younger. The older one commented on Ric’s Cord phaeton which
could be seen in the adjoining garage adding that way back in the late 1950’s he had
been for a ride in a dark blue sedan. Ric’s attention became focused with further
questions being asked about that event revealed that in fact the car in question had
only dark blue fenders and a grey body. You just wouldn’t normally read about
something like this. The older man continued to say “ The Cord belonged to a very
nice old car collector by the name of William Horning.”
Ric explained to the two men that the car in question was alive and well in far off
Australia and that he would send greetings from a former passenger. Well that made
my day complete. We all know Cords are rare and everyone is something special to
its current owner but I like to think mine is just a bit more special with its “Pleasant
Encounters of the 1950’s Kind.” Hope you all enjoy the You Tube film.
CORDially acCORDing to the CORDite from Down Under, Terry Cockerell.

AUSTRALIA DAY – SPEERS POINT PARK – 26TH January, 2015.
Reporter & Photographer – Collene Kalb
Well Folks what a day this was in more ways than one, it was wet, and cold, but this did not stop us, we met at Edgeworth Maccas for the
fix of Coffee etc. for the start, then on to Wangi Wangi for a run before morning tea, where we met up with some more members, but it
was blowing a gale, Rain was heavy at first, easing slightly, umbrellas were seen, coats, hoodies, (mind you a rare sight these days of
high temps and high humidity). Where we chatted, debated what was going to happen next, shared some cakes, Lamingtons, and of
course the usual stories of Cars, but it was decided to move on to Speers Point by the Club Captain Neville Maxwell, as the outlook might
be better or have eased in there. Of course some members like Richard, Lorraine, Doris, Norm and Julie, (who was hobbling on a caster
encased Broken foot) decided they were going home, as it was too wet, and miserable, great to see you out and about Julie. Trish and
Ken had won a weekend up at the Bay, so they too decided to take off so they could enjoy it, while they could.
Off we go to Speers Point, where Bill & Collene decided to go around the round-a-bout and pick up Fabio as he was waiting for us at
Speers Point, before heading left under the bridge to the park to be let into our designated spot for the day. We were told to park on the
bitumen strip and put the Gazebo’s up on the grass in front of the cars, so that is what we did, looking all cool and comfortable, with
Banners, the NRVC Board, table and chairs, and of course Flags, Food, Lamingtons, Iced Vovos, etc., and Drinks a plenty. We also had
2 new members join on the day, Mel Jones and Molly Glew, now Molly kept many busy with her face painting, and putting tattoos on
anyone willing or game enough for her to experiment with, Mel and Mary Jones, found a lone Thong and had to inspect it closely.
It was a great turn out considering the Weather, 45 people, 7 Visitors, 25 cars, in total for the day, Marilyn and Lyn were turned into Super
Hero’s, their Super Power was they can both talk up a storm. Marilyn had to blow out the candles on her 59 + 2 Birthday cake, We met
lots of Army Cadets, who it turns out nearly all had vintage cars they were driving, Hillman Minx, was one of them. Seen the Raising of
the Flag Ceremony, A movie was shown on the Big screen and there were Entertainers on Stage, Scallywags Nursery Rhyme Adventure
Show, various singers, and later Deep Creek Road opened the Concert, as well as Bushwackers and Dragon who went wild. The Fire
Fighters, were handing out lots of Balloons, Flags, Magnets, Rulers, and more. The Police came and inspected our vehicles, with much
interest, asked questions, re some of them, Lake Macquarie Council, took photos of some members and their cars. Snoopy the Dog kept
an eye out on his territory, by protecting us from all the visiting Dogs that came within range of any of the Gazebo’s, Snoopy also took
advantage of any Lap he could snuggle onto, or con folk out of little bits of food he thought he should have. The Rare and Valuable NRVC
Certificates were Awarded to Frank Kowalski and Margaret Evans, Neville & Debbie Maxwell, and Roslyn Walker. Members had on
Australian Capes, Hats, Tee Shirts, Shoes, Flags, all this finished off a great day with the NRVC, and at 9.0pm
Fireworks, thanks to all

MID-WEEK RUN RATHMINES on the HILL – 19TH FEBRUARY, 2015
Roving Reporter & Photographer – Collene Kalb
..
Another great day with the Mid-Week Members, the day started out cloudy, a few drops of the wet stuff, as we
gathered at Maccacs at Edgeworth, one by one they started to arrive, and grab their morning Coffee’s, have a chat,
and catch up while waiting for more. We started with 11 cars, but 1 car decided it was going to throw a tantrum,
(mind you it already had done this at home a couple of times before even getting out of the driveway) it was Brian
Jacksons Desoto, a grand ole Lady all splendid in Blue, which was the fashion of that era, so Brian decided to take
her home, his son Michael was in his Trans-am, so followed to bring Brian back to our first stop at Mulbring for
Morning Tea, we headed off at 9.20am.
We went on a great little Run, up-hill and down dale there were 17 of us following the leader, arriving at
Mulbring, and making a round Circle with the cars, just like the Waggons of old did when they stopped, where we
once again shared, cakes, yarns, and information re our cars. A few more spits of the wet stuff did not dampen
our spirits, in fact the girls had fun on the new Play Ground that has been built, with the Fire Truck a popular ride,
see Ruth rocking away. While the Boys went for a walk up to see the Oldsmobile being used as a Saw. Then it
was time to move onto Rathmines on the Hill, again via a very scenic Route, now Marilyn just had to jump into
the Trans-am, so she could experience the thrill of the ride, and drive from the passenger’s seat, (it’s left hand
drive) Brian had to go in the MG with George. We had Kookaburra’s up in the trees, the girls went for a walk
along the shore, on the way back we found a Pigmy Possum, on the ground, it did not appear to be injured, just
stunned, so we put it up in a Tree with a tomato to recover. Fabio arrived just on Lunch.
The Rare and Valuable NRVC Mid-Week Certificate was given to Ruth and Gary along with some Chocolates as
a little extra from the Mid-Week Crew. The Next Mid-Week Run will be to Ziggy’s at Heatherbrae, on March
19th, meet at Hexham McDonalds at 9.00am, MORNING TEA, & LUNCH will be supplied, we will need to
know Numbers for catering, this is not to be missed, as it will be a top day, with Demonstrations, use of tools, and
some Surprises, don’t miss out. Thanks to All.
__________________________________________________________________
It seems some Ford’s don’t like
guzzling their liquid fuel down prior to going out
_________________
on the road, a lesson learnt by our club captain Neville Maxwell on his way with
wife Debbie to Bolwarra in February.
He had done the right thing last time, filling up his car at the Petrol Station, which
cost $27 before driving off with a full tank. All okay?? Naturally!!
Unfortunately Neville did the same this particular weekend. Another cost of $27,
the bowser clicked off, and car filled, or so it seemed.
It seems that this particular ford still needing work done on it, prefers at this
stage to just have its drink nice and easy, not rushed, and just take it’s time. No
problems then, and Debbie won’t be continually saying “I’m going to burn it.”
A good mobile mechanic like Johnny from JB Motors is helping out and a whiz
on cars. It won’t be long before Neville & Debbie will enjoy their Ford. Debbie
can then put the matches away, and use them for a power outage instead.
I BELIEVE PROBLEM COULD BE AN AIR BLOCK SOMEWHERE?

A BIT OF AUSSIE HISTORY OF MOTORING IN THE 1920s
The 1920s were a snorting, roaring, clanking, intensely challenging time for the world’s motor industry. Motoring for the
masses had been established. Henry Ford was making a good mousetrap – and some remarkably ingenious ideas were
produced to find a better one. The number of new designs that hit the road was exceeded only by those that collapsed.
The demand for cars exceeded everyone’s expectations. In 1920 some 75,628 vehicles were registered for use on
Australian roads – equivalent to one for every seventy one people. But by 1930, the vehicle population had soared to
571,000 one for every eleven people. As a result, the motor car rapidly changed the nation’s life-style. A whole generation
was brought up – and in some cases conceived – in the motor car. It quickly became the magic carpet that mankind had
long yearned for – providing unlimited freedom for people to go where they wished, when they wished.
Inevitably, the changes brought sadness, abuse, reaction – and humour.
One favourite story concerns the enthusiast who imported a Sunbeam guaranteed to reach 145 km/h. He was showing off
its paces to someone he had met at his Sydney Club, and as he threw the car into the tight bends and whistled down the
straights, the passenger became increasingly nervous. Finally, he said, “You must have great confidence in this car,
cornering at these speeds.”The driver replied, ‘It’s quite safe. We are sitting on the best tyres made today. Barnet Glass.
Locally made, you know.’
Then for goodness sake, pull up,’ shouted the passenger. ‘ I AM BARNET GLASS.’

SUB COMMITTEE.
M.A.D. organised by the Rickshaws Hot Rod & Kustom Car Club comes but once a year. This year was
another great showing of Cars, Motor Bikes, Stalls, Entertainment etc. always including some pretty nifty tear
drop caravans, something that I would have loved to own in my younger years. Even an early shower didn’t
dampen the days event, as there was very little space left for late motor enthusiasts. On behalf of the N.R.V.C.
I would like to congratulate Rickshaws, and everyone else involved including the owners of Bargoed House for
allowing their land to be used for M.A.D. in Swansea.

Bolwarra Café & Blue Gum Park Minmi Run Sunday 15.2.15
It was a beautiful day and we all met at Hexham Maccas for 9am
We left there and headed up to Maitland over the bridge to Lorn and then on to Bolwarra Café, for
Morning Tea.
Ah! what’s this we hear Neville Maxwell had run out of fuel. “Oh no”
Thanks to those that stopped and helped.
We enjoyed Scones with Jam & Cream etc. Cappuccinos, Tea, Hot Chocolates, and Iced Coffees just
to name a few.
We then went onto Blue Gum Park Minmi, everyone had a great afternoon, relaxing chatting, laughing
going for a walk to check out the maze and the flying fox. Nineteen cars attended.
It was a very hot day. Everyone had a great day!!!
