CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
Welcome to the 42nd Annual Sloan Museum Auto Fair. Since 1973, your
support of this show has provided the financial means to acquire, restore and
maintain the unique collection preserved within the Sloan Museum and the
Buick Automotive Gallery.
This year we celebrate 50 Years of GTO with a world class display in Durant
Plaza. Fronting Kearsley Street are 3 additional displays of 50th Anniversary cars, the Ford Mustang,
the Classic Mopar Barracuda and the Chevrolet Chevelle.
We are proud to introduce to Flint, Michigan, famed automotive concept car restorer, Mr. Marty
Martino. Marty will discuss his career as well as offer commentary of our own famed concept cars, the
Buick XP300 and the Buick Wildcat. Both cars are making a rare outdoor appearance in the center
of Durant Plaza.
During the past year, four unique Flint born automobiles made their way home via private donation.
These additions bring the Sloan Museum automotive motorized collection to an even 100 vehicles. A
list of all the vehicles in the collection, as well as facts about the new donations, are within this program.
We have put together over 80 feature cars and motorcycles for your enjoyment this weekend, each
unique and rare. Just as important, are the hundreds of awesome cars you and your neighbors bring
to the Cultural Center to share with our community. We put on this show for you, for our community,
our local businesses, and our very own Sloan Museum. Please make note of our sponsors and give
them your business as often as possible.
On behalf of the Friends of Sloan*Longway, the Sloan Museum, the Buick Automotive Gallery, Longway
Planetarium and the Flint College Cultural Corporation...the Sloan Museum Auto Fair Committee
thanks you for coming.

PURPOSE OF THE SLOAN MUSEUM AUTO FAIR
By Bob Sovis, founder and Chairperson (1973-1982) and volunteer ever since.
To raise MONEY! If you attend the Annual Sloan
Museum Auto Fair as a vehicle owner, spectator,
swap meet vendor, food vendor or volunteer you
make a very important contribution. Money raised is
spent to purchase, restore and maintain vehicles and
automotive related archives.
The funds raised are restricted and cannot be used
for the day-to-day museum operations. Because
of the restriction, the museum on occasion receives
donations from automotive enthusiasts. There are
times that those donations are very significant.
Case in point: Members of the BUICK CLUB OF
AMERICA provided almost $60,000 for the purchase
of the paint booth. The BUICKTOWN CHAPTER of the
Flint area donated significant funds to support Mott
Community College auto restoration Interns working in
the restoration shop of the Sloan Museum. In addition,
the members of the Buicktown chapter also purchased
tools for use by the Interns. Learning of the need for
help in the archives, Buicktown funded seven UM-Flint
History Major Interns to work in the Buick Gallery. The
Buicktown Chapter members were so enthused and
pleased with what they had accomplished for the Sloan
Museum. The intern program was a huge success and
another step toward restoration and preservation of
the cars and records of the Flint automotive industry.
In addition, the Buick Town Chapter also hosted a
fundraiser in cooperation with Schwann Foods which
resulted in almost $500 more for the Sloan Museum
Auto Fair fund. Members also have volunteered many
hours towards the in-process restoration of a very rare
1953 Buick Skylark.
The Michigan Chapter of the STUDEBAKER DRIVERS
CLUB has also sponsored a Mott Intern in the Buick
Gallery. You, your club, or anyone with interest
in preserving and restoring vehicles can become
a very important participant in the Sloan Museum
Automotive program. Please contact Jeremy Dimick,
Sloan Museum, 810-237-3434, or Jacob Gilbert,
Sloan Museum 810-237-3448 for more information.
You will be glad you did.

SLOAN MUSEUM AUTO FAIR
ANTIQUE MOTORCYCLE DISPLAY
SPONSOR
SLOAN*LONGWAY AUTOMOBILE COLLECTION
Sloan*Longway collects artifacts that represent daily life in Flint and Genesee County. This goal could not be attained without a collection of automobiles to
represent the industry that put Flint on the map. However as Flint has transitioned from chiefly building cars to focusing on trucks and SUVs, the focus of our
automobile collection must change as well, to accurately depict industry in our region.
85% of the automobiles in our collection are models manufactured before 1974. In general, people don’t consider vehicles produced in the last 40 years “old”
enough to donate to a museum. In reality, now is the time to collect these relatively modern automobiles as they are more readily available than they will be 25
years from now. The goal of the Sloan*Longway Collection isn’t building the foremost Buick or Chevrolet collection in the world, but to assemble a group of
vehicles that depicts our region and our community’s contribution to the automotive landscape.
RECENT DONATIONS
Our automotive collection has grown by four in the past 12 months. Three vehicles, a 1929 Chevrolet Woody Wagon, a 1931 Buick Model 94 Roadster, and a
1937 Buick Roadmaster Convertible came to us by the generous donation of the Johnson Family; longtime supporters of Sloan*Longway. The fourth, a 1958
Buick Roadmaster 75, was donated all the way from Denver, Colorado, by the late Edwin Hendricks and Barbara Herbel-Hendricks. These recent donations were
meticulously restored prior to donation and are ready to be enjoyed by the public. The 1929 Chevrolet was featured in our last exhibit while the 1931 Roadster,
and 1958 Roadmaster are currently featured in the exhibit Restore the Roar now open at the Buick Automotive Gallery. The 1937 Buick Convertible is being used
to promote Restore the Roar at the museum’s display space at Flint’s Bishop Airport.
1929 Chevrolet Woody Wagon - Donated by Scott Johnson
The rarity of this vehicle combined with its current condition were two of the largest determining factors in accepting this vehicle into the collection. While Flint was
put on the map for its automobile production, our city has been building been building trucks since the turn of the 20th century, and working vehicles exclusively
since 1999. The Chevy filled a large gap in the collection as we have very few examples of Flint built trucks after the 19-teens and early 20’s and can be used as
an example of the cab/chassis style of manufacturing, where auto manufacturer would build the cab and the buyer would customize the bed to suit their need.
1931 Buick Model 91 Roadster - Donated by James Johnson
About a third of the collection was built between 1920 and 1940, so why add another? Because we had nothing like this flashy Buick. The ’31 Roadster was a
fairly rare model as only 824 were built. It also filled a gap in the collection as we previously had no Buicks made between 1928 and 1933. The 2-door roadster
(complete with side door for your golf clubs) appealed to a certain clientele capable of buying Buick’s top of the line sport model and because it was an expensive
model. The Roadsters styling is like nothing else in the collection. For all
these reasons, and because it is very emblematic of Buicks of the late
1920’s and early 30’s, it fit the collection perfectly.
1937 Buick Roadmaster 80 Series 4 Door Convertible
- Donated by Earl Johnson
Even though we have 12 cars built in the 1930’s, the 80 series
complimented our collection in many different ways. For one, we didn’t
have a 4 door convertible of any vintage. Also, in the late 1930’s Buick
offered the Special, designated as the 40 Series, the Century (60 Series)
Roadmaster (80 Series) and Limited (90 Series). With the addition of this
’37 to our ‘38 Special, ’33 Century, and ’36 Limited we now have a
complete model line of Buicks for this time period.
1958 Buick Roadmaster 75
- Donated by Edwin Hendricks and Barbara Herbel-Hendricks
Donated in the memory of Edwin Hendricks of Englewood, Colorado,
in May 2014, this pristine Roadmaster 75 was lovingly restored by Mr.
Hendricks on and off from 1980 through 2008 when work intensified and
concluded. The car features power steering, brakes, antennae, seats and
the new-for-1958 “drawer pull” grill with 160 individual chrome squares.
1958 Buicks can be particularly difficult to restore as all GM products that
year were single model year products not used on previous or later models.
The iconic Buick, the Roadmaster, is emblematic of the “land yachts” of
the 1950s with chrome, stainless steel, and fins that were describes as
“dazzling” when it debuted—even among the flashy cars of its era.

The gallery is open to the public Friday, Saturday

work of our dedicated volunteer corps, as well as
numerous interns from McPherson College, Mott
Community College, and Genesee Area Skill Center,
it would be impossible to preserve the museum’s
collection of over 100 vehicles.
The Perry Archives, located in Buick Automotive Gallery,
houses more than 100,000 items documenting the
history of Flint, Genesee County, and General Motors/
Buick Division. The Archive recently acquired the
archives of the Flint Journal, and the 134 years of history
the newspaper recorded. Researchers from around
the world utilize the archival collection that includes
thousands of photographs, local history research
material, and one of the finest collections of General
Motors technical manuals for Buick and Chevrolet
vehicles. The archives are open to researchers by
appointment Monday through Saturday.

SLOAN MUSEUM AUTO FAIR DASH PLAQUES
By Bob Sovis, Founder and Chairperson (1973-1982) and volunteer ever since.
Historically, it has been the custom to provide show
vehicle owners a commemorative dash plaque as
a thank you for bringing their vehicle. That custom
continues today for major vehicle shows. Why is it
called a dash plaque? My understanding is that in the
early days of the automotive hobby, participants were
given a metal plate with show data that they actually
mounted on the face of the dash. Consequently, it
became known as a dash plaque. Today, just about
all owners would not even think of mounting a dash
plaque on the dash of their vehicle. Some owners
create display boards with the plaques in date
sequence. They help bring back many great memories
of the places we have seen and the people we have
met. A lot of dash plaques end up in a drawer. Mine
included.
The first dash plaque of the Sloan Museum Summer
Fair featured a 1911 Little owned by the Museum.
Over the years, the next year’s dash plaque has been
determined by several methods – getting the most
spectator votes, the most car owner votes, committee
evaluation and for the most recent years, by judges
who select the show’s top vehicles. The dash plaque
carried the name of Sloan Museum Summer Fair
from 1973 through 2008. Starting in 2009, the event
name was changed to the Sloan Museum Auto Fair. In
addition to the main show dash plaques, there were
other plaques given for parade participation during
the years of 1982 through 1989. Starting in 1990 to
date, dash plaques were also given for cruises to the
McDonalds on Stewart Avenue in Flint, the A & W in
Flushing (now the Flushing A) and The Hot Dog Stand
in Grand Blanc.

FEATURE VEHICLES
1963 Mustang II Prototype
By Jim Kreuz
The Mustang II “concept” came out of the need to
bridge the public’s perception of the Mustang I twoseater from 1962 and the production Mustang to come in
April 1964. In the summer of 1963, the Ford Styling department
handed design details to Dearborn Steel Tubing (DST) to build
the Mustang II prototype. What began as a ’63 Falcon
Sprint chassis evolved into a completed vehicle
in September 1963, minus the final top
coat of paint. On October 6, 1963, just six
months prior to the introduction of the mass
produced Mustang on April 17, 1964, Ford
unveiled the Mustang II at Watkins Glen Raceway
in Watkins Glen, New York. On hand to make the
introduction was Lee Iacocca, the man who had staked
his reputation - and his job - on this car.
After Watkins Glen, the Mustang II was placed on the auto show circuit until early 1964, then it was retired to a
Ford warehouse in Dearborn. Following 11 years of mostly storage, Ford donated its valuable piece of history to
the Detroit Historical Museum in 1975. With the exception of a handful of car shows, the 1963 Mustang II resided
for the following 21 years, from 1975 to 1996, in a WW II era warehouse owned by the museum. By the mid
1980s, it fell into disrepair and was no longer running.
In 1996, the car was loaned to the Owls Head Transportation Museum in Owls Head, Maine, where Peter Curtis
and other volunteers got it back in running order. The Mustang II remained there until its return to the Detroit
Historical Museum’s warehouse in 2011.
2007 Mustang Saleen Transformer Movie Police Car “Barricade”
Saleen did indeed manufacturer vehicles for use in Paramount picture’s “Transformer” movie. The “Bumble Bee”
vehicle was the Chevrolet Camaro based vehicle and the “Barricade” vehicle was a Saleen derived vehicle.
Saleen designed 2 press vehicles as replicas of the Barricade unit to promote the launch of the “Transformer” movie;
one vehicle was for the west coast and the other was for our eastern territory. The west coast press vehicle unit 055
was dismantled and the east coast press vehicle unit 984, bumper number #07-0467 carrying Ford Vin number
1ZVFT82H875306148 was returned to McDonald Ford in its current press car condition.
This vehicle was used in several show and parade events in 2007 such as
Northwood University, Troy Days, Woodward Cruise and other local
events throughout the northeast region to promote Saleen’s
involvement in the “Transformer” movie and the Saleen
branded vehicles.

2014 SLOAN MUSEUM AUTO FAIR CELEBRATES 50 YEARS OF
Article by Al Rogers
1967 Pontiac GTO Hardtop
Owned by Denny & Pat Kloha
Few automobiles have entered the motoring world
with the immediate impact like the 1964 Pontiac GTO.
Though not a brand-new idea, it tapped into the spirit of mid-’60s America
and set a new standard for every muscle car imitator that followed.
From the onset, there was little doubt the GTO would be imitated.
Pontiac had an internal goal to sell 5,000 the first year
and ended up moving over 32,000. General Motors’
“Wide-Track” division had established a reputation for
performance, but it was clearly cutting edge with the
introduction of the GTO. A new standard for performance
was set thus creating a trend for the preceding 10 years
for other automobile manufacturers to replicate in
various forms. The GTO was the “Bench Mark” for the
development of the American Muscle Car era.
Under the leadership of Russell Gee, Bill Collins and John
Delorean General Motors had created a winner with the
Pontiac GTO.
The Sloan Museum Auto Fair is honored to assemble a
“50 Years of GTO” display and welcome the collection
of GTO’S with their owners to the 2014 event as we
celebrate the history of this iconic “Muscle Car”. The “50
Years of GTO” display consists of a diverse grouping of
GTO’S spanning from 1964 through 2006.
This diverse display will have a collection of original nonrestored, daily-driver, one owner, restored and show cars
representing the history of the GTO. Each of these cars
has a history and story to tell. Of particular interest is the
1964 Pontiac GTO convertible owned by John and Lea
Dunham from Mechanicsville, Virginia. John is celebrating
40 years of ownership and recently completed the “Long
Haul” on the Hot Rod Power Tour. This 1964 GTO has
amassed more than 350,000 miles on the odometer and
the road driven miles continues to rise as John piloted
it from his hometown in Mechanicsville, Virginia to the
2014 Sloan Museum Auto Fair in Flint, Michigan. This
GTO is not show car. Many might say it lacks curb appeal
but it more than makes up for it with heart. It should also
be noted this 1964 GTO is one of the earliest produced
convertibles.
This is only one of the special GTO’S and special stories
participating in the “50 Years of GTO” display. Enjoy the
journey through this special grouping. Stop, look and if
you’re intrigued by what you see there’s a proud GTO
owner waiting to share his story.
“Happy 50 Years” to the GTO, owners and the people
behind the scenes who made it happen. The Sloan
Museum Auto Fair welcomes you to this historic
celebration of the American Muscle Car known as the
GOAT!
Special Guests & Publishers of Still Runnin’ Magazine
John & Lea Dunham and their unique 1964 Pontiac GTO.
Lea and Big John Dunham’s magazine share a more personal facet of the old iron
and their owners, who they call the, Keepers of the Tin.
The ‘64 Pontiac:
This 1964 GTO Convertible is an original 3x2, 4-speed. According
to stamps on the firewall, behind the driver side inner wheel well,
the car came down the assembly line October 16th, 1963. The
original grease paint A18 is still visible on the firewall. When I sent
the numbers to Pontiac Historical Society they said, “they could verify
it was a GTO, black exterior, red interior, but the car was so early,
that’s all they could tell me” (they even sent the check back!) Going
by the mileage put on the car since I have owned it, the car has
390,000 miles on it. The motor has been freshened up once, and
rebuilt once. New synchronizers have been put in the 4 speed, and
the car runs and drives beautifully.
John Dunham:
John was born and raised in Sparta, New Jersey. John’s dad was
always into cars, by age 5 he was letting John sit on his lap and steer
the families ‘57 Ford Convertible through the back roads of Sussex
County, New Jersey. By this time, John could name the make and
year of most of the cars on the road. John’s first go-kart came at age
7, the first trail bike at age 11. At age 13, a neighbor gave him a ‘50
Chevy, which he never did get running, but learned a lot from. At
age 14, John’s dad took him to Island Dragway, where he watched
Arnie “The Farmer” Beswick run a 1964 GTO. Mesmerized by the
GTO, he told his dad he was going to own one of those one day.
Several cars came and went before John was old enough to get his
license (17 in NJ). At this time he found a ‘58 Corvette in Oak Ridge
Auto Wreckers, which he still owns and drives. Since the Corvette
had been though 11 owners, and came out of a junk yard, to say it
wasn’t dependable is an understatement. There was always a GTO
in John’s driveway as the everyday driver. Since 1971, he has owned
a ‘64, ‘65 ‘66, two ‘67s, a ‘68, and a ‘69 GTO. The ‘64 convertible
that is here he purchased from a Mine Hill, NJ car lot during the Arab
Oil Embargo, in 1974 for $275.00, not an unusual price at that time.
In 1975 John moved to Virginia, and found employment as a
patrolman with Henrico Police Dept. In 1983, John went with
Richmond City Fire Dept., where he worked until retiring in 2011.
John has always driven tractor trailers part time, and still runs Va. to
Fla. on a weekly basis.
Lea Dunham:
John’s wife, Lea is truly a horse power loving girl; by the way, Lea also
is originally a Jersey girl from Bergan County. Lea playfully brags
about having the largest match box car collection as a kid, making
the neighborhood boys a bit envious. It didn’t hurt that her father
owned a hobby shop, where she would play on the floor behind
the display counters, managing to bring home a new matchbox with
each visit to the hobby shop.
During her teen years she moved onto real live horsepower, spending
all her time at the barn and horse shows riding the hunter jumper
circuit, jumping 5’ fences. Today, Lea still loves horsepower, but now
her horses are under the hood instead of the barn. In her stable today
sits a 1923 Buick, a 1951 Chevy Sedan Delivery and of course, what
every horse loving girl should have a 1960 Chevy Apache pickup truck.
Lea relocated to Florida living in Daytona Beach where she worked
as an equine vet tech’ and an art director for a motorcycle publication
for 17 years.
John and Lea met during a Bike Week event held on the World’s Most
Famous Beach in Daytona, 24 years ago, and have been putting on
the miles together as husband and wife ever since. All of Lea and
Johns boys have oil running through their veins; automobiles must
run in the DNA.
Cars, road trips and car shows are a constant, in this family’s
everyday life, so it only seemed natural that Lea and John decided
a few years back to embark on the idea to publish an automotive
magazine, titled, Still Runnin Magazine.
Still Runnin, is a free online automotive magazine that captures stories
behind the automobiles of yesteryear. The content in its pages has
taken on a different look than the norm’ found in peer publications.
Lea and Big John Dunham share a more personal facet of the old
iron and their owners, who they call the, Keepers of the Tin.
Still Runnin provides a place for the Keepers of the Tin, the Caretakers
of the old iron, to share their dream cars, years of hard work,
memorable road trips, and reasons behind the long hunts for a
certain car, and other captivating stories waiting to be told.
The magazine is based out of Virginia, in the small town of
Mechanicsville. It’s fitting for an old car publication to be born in a
town named Mechanicsville?
John Dunham meets Marty Martino:
It seems there are other towns with cool names in Virginia that car
minded folks would like. 25 some-odd years ago, it was by fluke and
now only seems fitting, that John would meet Marty Martino in a town
called Oilsville during one of his weekend drives out in the country.
While driving, in the corner of his eye John spotted what looked to be
a mold for a car and did a quick turn around for a closer look see
pulling his car into private property. It was then, that Marty Martino
emerged from inside his shop looking at the stranger parked in his
driveway. Marty asked John, if he could help him? John asked back,
“what are you doing with the mold of a ‘55 Lincoln Futura?” Marty
replied with, “damn, everyone else wants to know what I’m doing with
the Batmobile”. The two men have been friends ever since.
Marty Martino will join John and Lea Dunham on a special “Once in
a Lifetime Road Trip”. The trio with convertible top down will travel
from Mechanicsville, Virginia to Flint, Michigan for the Sloan Museum
Auto-Fair where the 1964 GTO Convertible will take part in the “50
Years of GTO” feature car display.

Mr. Marty Martino
A Biography of the Famed Concept Car Restorer
Marty Martino was born in Bryn Mar Pennsylvania,
1951. His family moved to Savanna Georgia 1953,
and then to Richmond Virginia 1958, Marty still resides
in central Virginia.
composite fiberglass tooling and construction. He
considers this experience his “graduate school” while
working/studying there he sculpted his first car body, a
recreation of his favorite dream car, The Lincoln Futura.
By age three, his lifelong obsession with automobiles had
begun and he soon could identify every make and model
of car on the road. Throughout childhood he taught
himself to design and draw cars, then build models of
cars, many scratch built, from wood and paper.
Aside from creating custom body work on existing cars,
some which represent his vision of possible factory
versions never produced, he has recreated the Pontiac
Club de Mer with full function, and he has also crafted
many of the new body panels for a recreation of the
Chrysler Norseman.
At age 16 soon after acquiring his first real car he
started collecting his favorite 1950s cars, seldom
paying over 50 dollars each. At 17 he restyled his first
car which has led to his lifelong career of restoring and
restyling automobiles.
In recent years he’s completely reconstructed two
historic General Motors Motorama Concept Show
Cars the 1955 LaSalle II Roadster and 1955 Chevrolet
Biscayne.
Print articles about automobile designers and the
behind the scenes work have always fascinated him.
This year he’s building a copy of the Cadillac Cyclone
for a client located in Arizona.
In the late ‘80s he worked in the tooling department
of Wahoo boats, learning everything he could about
Marty recently debuted a new teardrop trailer kit which
he designed and sculpted as if it were styled in the late
‘30s by John Tjaarda or Figoni&Falaschi. The “Aerolux”
trailer showcases his desire to recreate design as his
imagination sees it.

GM AND FLINT: A RICH HERITAGE
AND A PROMISING FUTURE
As a sponsor of the Sloan Museum Auto Fair, General
Motors is proud to help showcase the heritage of
the automobile, from the carriages that rolled out
of the Durant-Dort factories in downtown Flint to the
new heavy duty pickups currently assembled at Flint
Assembly.
Visitors to the Auto Fair and the Flint area will get a
chance to see and learn more about an industry
that continues to leave an indelible impression upon
Genesee County.
Our heritage is one that has evolved to where 7,500
men and women today build engines, design dies,
stamp parts, assemble trucks and support GM’s
network of automotive dealerships.
In the last five years, GM has invested more than $1.6
billion in its Flint-area operations. These investments
– from new engines to new trucks to a state-of-the-
art paint facility – will position GM to build on its rich
history in this town.
But our role in this community extends beyond the daily
production of engines and vehicles.
Through individual donations, local facility gifts and
the GM Foundation, approximately $1 million goes
to numerous local organizations, including those that
feed the hungry, find shelter for the homeless and
educate children about environmental stewardship.
Countless hours are also spent, cleaning neighborhoods
or serving as coaches and mentors for robotics teams
in local schools.
At GM, we are doing our best to not only design,
build and sell the world’s best vehicles, but helping to
improve the communities in which we operate.
Enjoy the show.

MID-MICHIGAN ROBOTICS ALLIANCE
(MMRA) AND FIRST
Mid-Michigan Robotics Alliance consists of several
FIRST Robotics teams from 9 counties in the MidMichigan area. This organization promotes science,
technology, engineering and education through
guidance, provides recognition, encouragement, and
helps finance the teams of FIRST.
FIRST stands for: For Inspiration and Recognition of
Science and Technology. It was founded by Dean
Kamen and Woodie Flowers to promote science,
technology, enginee ring and math to create the
future leaders of tomorrow.
Junior FIRST Lego League creates an atmosphere
under which children are encouraged to explore in
mathematics, science and technology in a noncompetitive and team-based environment.
FIRST Lego League advances this world by further
expanding the range of science and technology
by being challenged by more complex tasks and
obstacles which are anticipated and by competing,
students gain confidence and life skills.
FIRST Robotics Challenge combines the rigors
and excitement of high school sports with real-life
situations presented by science and technology
under incredibly strict rules and very limited
resources. Teams work together to confront the
time limits, hone cooperative skills, and overcome
the challenges brought forth by this event. Teams
must also take the field against competitors in
what can be described as the closest to a “realworld engineering” situation a high school student
can achieve.
