Cover Car—1980 Toyota
Celica GT Liftback
Owner: Jerry Docair Malkes
The Celica was the first Japanese model to
claim the World Rally Championship crown. I
was always in love with the styling of this
Toyota from its conception in 1970 to its demise in 2005. The last car was produced at the
end of April 2006 with seven variations or
generations produced. The founder of the Toyota Motor Company was named Kiichiro Toyoda and that company was formed in 1937
with a capital equivalent to $35,000. The company has grown in leaps and bounds and that
brings us to my 1980 Toyota Celica GT Liftback. This 1980 is called the second generation. With my late dad, Frank, I ordered the car
from ABC Toyota in Valley Stream.
with low price increases, going across the current trend, no wonder that cars of its breed are
taking such big chunks of the American market.
The car has a tilt steering wheel, improved seat
design, a new grill design, powered steering, a
new rear light cluster, a tighter suspension for
the GT (thanks to the addition of a rear antiroll bar) and a full center console among other
improvements over the preceding generation.
My Celica was originally bought as a work car
but I enjoyed it so much I bought a Monte
Carlo to take me to work. It has only 19,500
miles in 33 years. Original tires (thanks to being garaged with no ultraviolet rays), wipers,
wiper fluid, carburetor, etc. My original battery lasted 18 years and the second lasted 15
years due to a trickle charge over the years.
The Celica is a very rare vehicle and as someone on a website said "it deserves to be not in
a garage, but in some museum. That is one
reason why I love showing it at car events. The
Toyota has won multiple awards and trophies
but the biggest trophy I receive, is getting to
know all the wonderful car-people I meet.
The vehicle took 8 weeks to arrive from Japan,
but during that time, because of the great demand and poor supply, the price went up
$2,000. The car was almost given to another
person but because I had the wrong vehicle
identification number (accidentally given by
another salesman). However, I obtained the
car. A quote from 1980 stated "Japanese cars
have long since ceased being built primarily
for their home market...

I just wanted to send out a big THANK YOU
to all the participants who brought their antique cars to the Hewlett-East Rockaway Jewish Center on October 9, 2013.
This event was to show the small children the
trucks and antique cars. Included were my
brother, Jerry, Tony De Donna (the birthday
boy), Stu Light (who just celebrated his AlfaRomeo's 50th birthday), Bob Wright, Dick
Creeron, and Harry Verity with Caroline. The
Director at the center said this was the best
show ever!

I spied this 1914 Ford Fire Truck at Lynbrook's 2013 Expo. This completely restored
Model T Fire Truck has a very interesting
story. GNYR member Harry Verity is involved in this project after being contacted by
Bill Sielski about 6 months ago. This truck is
owned by the Hempstead Fire Department and
is registered and insured as a fire Truck. The
truck was purchased by Hempstead Fire Department in 1914 but they found out it was too
small when it was called to put out a building
fire in Hempstead It uses a soda acid extinguisher and delivers 500 gallons a minute.
That compared to 2,000 gallons a minute on
today's fire trucks. It then became a chief's car.
Harry Verity was made an honorary member
of the Hempstead Fire Department.
This truck was restored in 1994. Mr. Sielski
joined the Hempstead Fire
Department in 1977. Mr. Verity was called in
when work was needed to be
done to it's magneto. Both have been working
on this fire truck ever
since. Like I always said, antique vehicles are
more than a mode of
transportation, they are an art form and this
vehicle certainly is.
FIFTH @NNU@L FIRST RESPONDERS RECOGNITION D@Y
Text and photos by GNYR Florida Correspondent - Martin Goffe
On Sunday, October 13th, First Responders
Recognition Day was observed for the fifth
consecutive year at West Palm Beach Fire
Rescue Station 7. Since October is National
Fire Prevention Month, this recognition is
held on the second Sunday of October honoring all first responders: firefighters / EMTs /
EMS, police and Florida Division of Forestry firefighters.
With the cooperation of chiefs and officers of
West Palm Beach Fire Rescue and the West
Palm Beach Police Department, former
Oceanside, Long Island volunteer firefighter,
Martin Goffe, organized this event which also
included a display of antique / collectible cars.
The weather conditions for this event were
ideal with low humidity, a mild cooling
breeze and a maximum temperature of 85 degrees. Fire apparatus present were a 2010 Sutphen quint shown with the 75 foot ladder extended. This apparatus is capable of discharging 1500 gallons of water per minute when in
pump mode. (See photo)
The second Station 7 apparatus is a 2012 International / ALF MedTec rescue truck which
is virtually a mobile emergency room.
The third apparatus at this station is a 1991
Ford F350 brush truck with less than 20,000
miles on the odometer -- the oldest active vehicle in West Palm Beach Fire Rescue.
FIRST RESPONDERS
RECOGNITION D@Y...Continu_^
This truck tows a trailer mounted mini ATV
fire pumper used for fighting fires at otherwise
unaccessible locations. The Florida Division
of Forestry displayed a tractor plow (often
confused with a bulldozer) and its prime carrier, a 2007 Sterling. The tractor plow is a new
2013 John Deere 650G which was designed
and engineered specifically for forestry fire
fighting service. Its main function is to clear a
path for apparatus which can discharge a large
volume of water at a brush fire. The tractor
plow is equipped to discharge water in the
event of a flareup under the vehicle. It is
highly computer controlled and the cab is air
conditioned. (See photo)
The West Palm Beach Police Department displayed a Ford Crown Victoria. In previous
years, one of the road patrol motorcycles was
displayed, but this weekend, the "motors", as
they call themselves, were on a weekend
training session.
To complement the vehicle display, thirteen
antique / collectible cars were displayed, less
than in past years due to other competing car
shows in the area. The oldest of these was a
1929 Essex two door coach. in beautifully restored condition. Essex was a lower priced
model made by Hudson. A 1934 Mercedes SS
roadster repro received much visitor attention
as did the Essex. All other cars displayed
were beautiful, ranging from a 1939 Ford to a
2013 Camaro. (See photos)
A recognition day tribute to all first responders
was followed by lunch provided by the West
Palm Beach Association of Firefighters Local
727.

The Most Important Person In AACA
By Tom Cox, President, AACA
Reprinted from the AACA Speedster
Having first joined AACA at thirteen, I have worked in a lot of capacities within my own Regions, and have
experienced a lot of great events through the hard work of many others. As we know, any organization is only
as good as the sum of its parts. In AACA those parts are people who volunteer their time, effort, and personal
resources for the enjoyment of others, and I suspect for a bit of self satisfaction,… but who amongst them is
the most important to our club?
We love our shows and tours in AACA whether they are local or national. All of these events require a lot of
dedication and planning. Planning routes to drive as well as the all important places to eat and sleep are both
important and time consuming. Those who plan them have of-ten been through the entire experience several
times before the rest of us ever arrive. The shows require trailer parking, judges, a nice show field, awards
dinners, and awards. There are usually committees that work weeks if not years to make sure all of it goes off
to our satisfaction and enjoyment. We wouldn’t have an AACA experience were it not for these members.
Ah, and then there is judging and all we learn about authenticity in preserving our original cars and correctly
restoring our projects. AACA judges are the back bone of our efforts to be good conservators of our vehicular
history. These guys and gals spend years honing their skills and building their knowledge. We could hardly
get along without the roadmap they provide.
There’s also all of those folks who often work on all the Region and Chapter Boards of Directors. Everyone
from Presidents to Club Secretaries often take care of the necessary background drudge work that a lot of us
would love to avoid. I cannot think of ever hearing of a Club Secretaries award, but without them we wouldn’t be able to keep track of what we’ve done and where we are going. The same can be said for all of those
who volunteer at this level. They are the lubricant that keeps the clubs going.
We all love getting our newsletters and checking out our websites. Seeing what our friends are up to when
snow is on the ground, and searching for the next part or project can be done in the comfort of home through
the newsletter and website. Those great pictures of all our friends and cars as well as the calendar to let us
know where to go and when, not to mention countless articles for our edification and enjoyment come to us
through the efforts of newsletter editors and webmasters. They are unquestionably the glue that holds our club
together by keeping us connected.
Throughout this year as National President, I’ve met hundreds of our volunteers. They work long hours without pay and often without the recognition they richly deserve. Who amongst them is the most important? I can
tell you that our club would not exist if any of them weren’t there. There would be no monthly smorgasbord
meetings, local events, or national shows, or tours, and no direction for our club, and no information to share.
I hope we can all think about this for at least a moment. Any of these people could easily be the most important person in AACA. I hope you will do what you can to thank them, and more importantly think of how you
can help them. After all, we are a family, and families help each other.
P.S. I have a soft spot for all those editors and web masters. I know from experience that material is often
hard to come by. Take a moment to write something or send some-thing in to them. It will make their lives
easier and your Regions and Chapters stronger
