May - Sedona Car Club

Hello Everyone. It’s confession time. I am writing this just after our Executive Board meeting. One of
the things discussed at our meetings is how is the upcoming issue of Tire Tracks coming along. Our
editor, Arny, said something to the effect of “it’s coming along fine, I just don’t have anything from
you yet”. Oops! I’ve had a real busy week and forgot to finish my article and send it to Arny.
You know that I am always excited about our car show. Plans are coming along fine. BMW is
celebrating its 100th Anniversary this year, so we decided to make BMW our featured car and invited
the local (OK, Phoenix) BMW clubs to join. They liked the idea so much it created a new problem for
us. It’s a big club, they might have entered too many cars so we are going to have to tell them they
will have a limit as to how many cars they can enter. I’m glad they want to participate though.
Next week will be Mother’s Day. Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers. We will be having our annual
Mother’s Day Brunch at Junipine Resort. This is always a popular event. I look forward to seeing
many of you.
I’m glad I will be seeing you at the Brunch, because after that I will be (and have been) missing for a
while. At the time of our last meeting, we were in California for a big birthday get-together for one of
Rachel’s sisters. Next week, at the time of our meeting, I will have the honor of presenting the
Sedona Car Club Scholarship to a Red Rock High School Senior. We should all be proud that we give
a scholarship each year. I will also miss our picnic. Rachel and I will be attending the wedding of one
of our grandsons in Arkansas. We are lucky to have Ed Pittman and others to step forward and take
over for me.
In July the club is quiet. I’ll see you all in August.

pinion steering, chrome wire wheels and a single rear
mounted spare. It is also equipped with a heater.
First, thank you for your assistance in publishing some information about the 1929 Chrysler roadster that I am selling.
Asking price - $50,000 or Best Offer
It was valued by appraisal in 2014 at $55,000. (Appraisal
available on request.)
Contact information:
1929 Chrysler Roadster: It is completely restored and modified to a very high standard. The paint and bodywork, done
in jet black is top quality. Everything fits properly, the body
is extremely straight, and the paint quality is extremely
high. The chrome plating is all fresh looking and excellent
quality. The interior is beautifully done in leather, and the
top and top bows are excellent as well. It is clean and nicely
detailed throughout, both on top and underneath.
It looks mostly stock on the outside, except for the lowered
stance, wider wire wheels, and wider tires, but in reality it
has been extensively modified in a very tasteful way to provide the power and improved driving experience that the
street rod community desires.
It has a small block Chevrolet engine, dressed up with coated headers, intake manifold and Carter AFB carburetor, and
an automatic transmission with a nice aftermarket "Stocklook" shifter. It has Tilt steering column, full instrumenta-

Fairly Important Ephemeral Messages
ANNUAL PICNIC
Urgently note that this year’s picnic
will be on WEDNESDAY (not the usual
Tuesday), June 15.
Everything else is the same. Same
cost (free for members, ten bucks for
visitors), same place, same time,
same old crowd, probably the same
conversations.
If you come on Tuesday, you will remain lonely and hungry.
CAR SHOW
Last year is was T-Birds. This year it’s
Beemers.
Because we’ve invited a Phoenix BMW
club to participate and there are a LOT
of Beemer types who will want to come,
you’re advised to fill out your car show
entry form (last page of this newsletter)
expeditiously or you may not get your
car into the show. We expect our 110
car space to fill quickly.
