Kansas City Region~ Working Mecum Auction
Antique Automobile Club Of America Volume 3, Issue 3 - April 2015 The Accelerator Kansas City Region ~ Working Mecum Auction President’s Message We have had winter to shine and maintain our autos and I hope you are ready for a great season. With spring in the air the time for cruises and shows is upon us. Always have your AACA information and membership applications with you. Our area has many cars that are prospects for our region. If you have not yet signed-up to volunteer on a committee for the Central Spring Meet there is time and openings are still available. Drive safely, Bonnie Pictured to the above right are Jon and Martie Kernodle and below right are Sharon and Jerry Cygan. This story continued on page 6. See more photos and a short narrative. " PAGE 1 Antique Automobile Club Of America Volume 3, Issue 3 - April 2015 Member Profile ~ Donna and Bob Wa"is 1989 Mercury Cougar LS “Little Blue Beauty” It was a pretty typical Sunday morning, that March 31, 2014! Bustling about getting ready for church, Bob glanced out the window and commented “Hmmm that’s a good looking car in Sue’s driveway”. Now it isn’t unusual for Bob to comment on a car - in fact, he notices ALL of them and comments on MANY! We got into our ’64 Chevelle and drove down the street and he said again “Wow, I wonder who that little Cougar belongs to - sure is a clean car”. Again, I made no comment as I did, and still do, score low in “Car Appreciation 101”!!! I am the sports fan in the family - Bob the car fan! And you can add “addict” to the sports and car prefix and get a good idea of our interests! Our marriage 4 years earlier brought me into a brand new world - one of a car being more than a means to transport you from one place to the other! Now I always appreciated a nice, beautiful vehicle - and it always HAD to be clean and serviced. But it really meant little to me if it was a 1964 Chevelle, a 1969 Camaro, a l957 Thunderbird or a 1989 Mercury Cougar!!! I " Bob and Donna’s Cougar LS probably wouldn’t be able to even identify one of those on the road - a Corvette I might recognize! Rounding the corner to our street that morning as we returned from Church, the sun made a shimmer on that little car in just a way that caught my eye! It was a pretty little car dark blue with white vinyl roof. I mentioned that it was a nice looking car and he again wondered outloud about who might own it! 2 hours later, Bob, a lawn mower repairman, went outside to clean a mower that was repaired and would be delivered to the customer the following Monday morning! After 1 1/2 hours, and knowing that to clean up a walk behind would not take more than 20 minutes, I went to the window and there he was - looking at that car, with a nice looking 40 year old man who I did not recognize! Not only were they looking, but he was getting into the driver’s seat and backing out of the driveway! PAGE 2 Antique Automobile Club Of America Volume 3, Issue 3 - April 2015 The Cougar LS at the Friday evening car show in Lincoln " He returned, and I went out on the front porch, jokingly asking him “Oh, did you buy me a car?” He got “that look” on his face you know the one you see on a face when you’ve discovered something you really weren’t supposed to know quite yet? The two men exchanged glances and they both started nodding their guilty heads! Thus, the little beauty became “ours”!!!!! There’s not much I cannot tell you about her (the car!) since she came with every bit of paperwork ever generated! Documentation for every oil change, every visit to Rusty Eck Ford Lincoln-Mercury dealership in Leavenworth, Kansas for any purpose is in our possession! She’s a pedigreed Twilight Blue #7F pup and cost her owner $17,800.00 (including extended warranty, Super Seal and Sales Tax). It’s a 1989 Mercury Cougar LS purchased August 25, 1989 by the mother of our neighbor! It was our neighbor’s son who was driving it that Sunday, and because his grandmother had to be moved into a nursing home, they had decided it should be sold. Ruth, his grandmother, was the only owner of this auto sporting a 6 cylinder 3.8 liter engine! When Ruth bought her, she had 25 miles on the odometer, when she came to live with us there were 60,428 actual miles. Her interior is the same blue as the exterior and is that soft and near perfect velour that was popular in 1989! PAGE 3 Antique Automobile Club Of America Volume 3, Issue 3 - April 2015 Now, the intent in purchasing this little gem was to re-sell it! We paid $3,000 cash for it - put another $700.00 in repairing the power window guides and having the air conditioner serviced and a few parts in that unit replaced. Bob and Donna enjoying the Lincoln Meet Among our concerns was storage - we didn’t have room for the vehicles we had before the Blue Beauty took residence at our address! However, the neighbor so accustomed to seeing that car for the last 25 years was thrilled to let us keep it parked in her driveway for as long as we wanted to! So - we waited - we told people about it - we even put it on Craig’s List and showed it a few times. Comments were always so positive - great car, so pretty! But no buyers! So, a “FOR SALE” sign went in her back window - we really thought we could turn her for $5,000.00 pretty quickly since we were coming up on graduation and she would be a perfect graduation gift for someone heading off to college needing a good car! The problem was that every time we drove her, we would look at each other and say “boy this car rides nice”. “She sure is quiet”. “How can a car this old, be in such great condition?” We registered our ’64 Chevelle (Lucille) in the AACA Central Division National Spring Meet in Lincoln Nebraska in June. Now I told you I am a sports fan(atic) and I am also from Nebraska AND a season ticket holder for Nebraska football! So, I was all about going to Lincoln, for a car show or for any reason! Engine problems kept us from driving Lucille, so we took the Cougar. We were allowed to change the registration and have the Cougar in the Historical Preservation of Original Features class! We had about 3 hours of daylight to get her show ready! Bob went to WalMart and bought the supplies - I used Q-tips to clean the vents and small areas - we polished and cleaned every inch we could of that little beauty. " The “Beauty’s 1st Award! A HPOF winner! PAGE 4 Antique Automobile Club Of America Volume 3, Issue 3 - April 2015 The following morning I cleaned the wheel wells (I use a wheelchair so I was eye-level with those wells and they needed cleaning)!!!! Then we waited - and it rained!!!!! We waited, and waited - we watched judges walk all around our car, judging others, only to leave and head back inside! Finally, about 10 minutes before judging ended, I called one of the judges over and asked when our car would be judged! He said we weren’t on his “roster” and he would go see. He and another judge returned, the switch in paperwork caused the Cougar to not be on the judging list, even though she was registered. SO - they judged her!!! Donna and Bob at the Lincoln Awards Banquet Now, competition and winning runs deep in my veins and I have to be honest that I couldn’t wait for the banquet that night to see how we did. I do NOT understand the details of how cars are judged - but when they announced that the 1989 Mercury 2dr hardtop owned by Robert A. Wallis from Lee’s Summit, Missouri, Vehicle #5000000 was a HPOF winner - it was like a winning touchdown for the Big Red!!! " New %iends, Pe&y and her husband This past Fall we attended the Car Show in Carthage, Missouri and our little Cougar introduced us to new friends! A fun couple from Joplin came by - Peggy had a car like ours years ago and loved it. We told ‘em it was for sale - and that today only, we’d give them a good deal. We talked a long time, then went on to see sights of the car show and festival that is part of this yearly event. When we returned there was a sign on the car that read: “Car Show Special - Today Only $4,495.00”. Stone and Peggy were watching us - we all laughed and have enjoyed them visiting us during the Christmas season, as a result of friendship forged over this little Mercury. This coming June AACA KC will be hosting the 2015 Central Spring Meet...we only have one award on our “board” and you can be sure the Cougar is registered in hopes of adding another one! Something’s changed. The car isn’t a car to try to sell quickly anymore! She performs so well, she looks so sharp and our neighbor just loves getting to see her whenever she wants to! My next goal - Bob, put hand controls in this baby and let’s figure out how I can load my wheelchair myself - I want to drive her too!!!

PAGE 8 Antique Automobile Club Of America Volume 3, Issue 3 - April 2015 ~ 2015 Central Spring Meet ~ Hagerty Valve Cover Racing Program “This year at the Central Spring Meet we welcome the Hagerty Valve Cover Racing program to the schedule of events in an effort to engage youth in a fun, creative way. Hagerty's Valve Cover Racing program is designed to be a relaxed and engaging experience for all. 2015 Central Spring Meet When asked what this program would bring to our event, Hagerty said, "At Hagerty we believe that "Car Guys" start young. Therefore we have made it our responsibility to support organizations and initiatives that help make sure the vehicles we love – and the lifestyles that revolve around them – not only survive, but thrive, well into the future by engaging young people via the suite of Hagerty Youth Programs, including Valve Cover Racing. This program is a unique, light-hearted way to involve younger generations by providing them access to our hobby and community.” Don’t know what Valve Cover Racing is? Think "Pine-Wood Derby" for the car guy! Creatively built valve covers will be raced down a specially designed track, complete with a digital timing system and "drag racing Christmas-tree" style starting line. d ! i e V e e S b t u s T u u M o Y e h t h c t Wa ! o e Valve Cover Racing is casual fun for "Car Guys" of all ages!

This month we will look at the second sign: Car Wash Obsessions Most people spend lots of time washing their new car. We pretty much agree that this is a normal and accepted behavior. Its not unusual for some who are proud of their car to visit the car wash or do it themselves in the driveway once or twice a week. Obsessed car lovers, tend to only wash their car by hand and typically will not allow anyone else to help. They wash it nearly every time it seems the slightest bit dirty. This hands-on personal connection is important. and Aaron says that the loved car like a good dog or child needs petting and hugs to nurture it and keep their relationship alive. This is evidence of a true car lover. In addition, a common car lover’s justifications for their constant cleaning when they see phantom specs or creating makebelieve problems is typical. “I think the wax I put on last week needs a little touch up.” If you can’t wait for more you may read Aaron’s Blog - February 12, 2015.
