FROM THE PREZ
On April 17 we celebrated National Mustang Day, along with thousands of other Mustang fans across the country. I don’t
think I have to explain why it was April 17. If I do, you should probably belong to some other club! As you know, we had
dinner at Hoss’s and a die cast car show. The turn out was great. It was nice to see some new faces as well as some older
ones. It was a lot of fun. Thanks to Chris DeRosa for organizing the dinner and “car show”. We also had a Mustang cake
thanks to my wife Beth. Congratulations to the winners of the car show. The trophies were spectacular!
It was nice to look out the window and see all the Mustangs in the parking lot. After dinner, several of Mustangs went for
a cruise around Presque Isle. A great way to end the day. I think our celebration was a huge success, and I hope all who
attended enjoyed it. Now I am looking forward to seeing all those Mustangs in the parking lot at our club meeting. See
you there.
Doug

.
CAR SHOW HELP
The Tri-State Mopar Club of Erie is in need of judges for their car show on Sunday June 5. The judging
standard they use is based on the MCA judging sheets for occasional driven cars. They get roughly 300 cars for
their show and would appreciate any help our club could give them. If anyone is interested in helping out
another club contact either Denise – Pony Post Editor or Judy Miller 814-474-5183. Judging starts around
noon. The event is held at the Albion Fairgrounds rain or shine.
Can-Am 2016
Registrations are starting to roll in for Can AM 2016 which is being hosted by LEMOC this year. Registration for
the Can-Am is a separate attachment.
Host hotel is the Clarion Hotel and Conference Center on W. 8th St. in Erie. Room rate is $99.99 for 2 people
plus 13% tax. This price includes a full breakfast buffet in the Clarion's beautiful poolside restaurant. There is a
block of 25 rooms at the hotel under the LEMOC name. We recommend getting your reservations in soon as
possible as this is a very popular hotel that is at the entrance to Presque Isle beaches and Waldameer.
Some of the activities planned for this event are:
Fri night - Sunset Cruise on the Lady Kate Tour boat which sails from the Perry Monument on Presque Isle at 8
pm. Dinner is on your own. Many restaurants within walking distance of the hotel.
Sat. - Painting of a keepsake tile event at Claytopia, pizza lunch and tour of the TREC. (Tom Ridge
Environmental Center) and dinner and hayride at Burch's Farm and Winery in North East, Pa.
Sun. -Tour of the Coast Guard Station on Presque Isle and finish off with a picnic lunch of ox roast and sausage
on Presque Isle followed by Chris DeRosa's famous games and activities.
Registration will be set at $40.00 per person which includes the boat cruise on Friday night, the TREC tour,
dinner and hayride at Burch's, the picnic on Sun. and a goody bag.
Registrants will be responsible for lunch on Sat. which the TREC center is catering a pizza buffet lunch and
Claytopia as some people may be interested in painting something else besides a tile (like a car....)
If anyone has any other ideas or suggestions please feel free to contact either Denise (Pony Post editor) or Joy
Webber
NATIONAL MUSTANG DAY
LEMOC celebrated National Mustang Day with a dinner/car show at Hoss's. Many members drove their
Mustangs to the event which was a beautiful spring day.
Enjoying a delicious dinner at Hoss's and the car show field
Serious judging of the die cast cars going on and the winners of the car show
The trophies....
A couple restored every one of these cars and still retain ownership.
They live on Vancouver Island.
This collection is without a doubt the absolute finest collection of fifties cars in the World.
1956 Ford Skyliner (Glasstop)
We restored this car in 1988 from an original car that came from the Indian reservation here on
Vancouver Island.
It is full power with all options.
This car is mostly original and it has taken me 28 years to buy it from the original owner.
This car spent a good part of its life in Winnipeg.
There are probably only about 8 of these cars surviving out of the total production of 201 cars.
We drove this car more last summer than any of our other cars.
I rebuilt all the mechanics and added all the accessories and options
and it has everything except "air".
There is an article on this car in FoMoCo Times
1956 Meteor Convertible
Meteors used some Mercury colors in 1956.
This 56 Meteor is painted Grove Green and Saffron Yellow with a black lightning bolt and the
production numbers are only 479.
It is full power with all accessories except "air".
She has taken us to Rockin Red Deer in Alberta, Hot August Nights in Reno and many other
trips. Because of the colour, we call her "Juicy Fruit" and many people have seen this car.
55 Merc Sun Valley.
I bought this car from an old ladies estate sale in 1983.
It was rust free but pretty banged up with only 26000 miles on it.
I added all the options and accessories and restored only as needed
keeping the car as origional as possible.
56 Mercury Montclair Convertible.
This car is one of our favorites.
I found what was left of it in the Spokane area and restored
and drove it to Hot August Nights in Reno in 1996.
It is London Grey and Persimmon with full power and all accessories.
1955 Mercury Convertible
I tow barred this car from Southern Calif in 1989 behind my little Ford short box 302.
The 55 was so ugly, not once did anyone give me the "thumbs up".
It is now restored in Canadian colors, Sunset Coral
with matching Tapestry weave interior and Metric speedo,
full power and accessory steering wheel.
It has only 530 miles on it because we mostly drive the 56 Mercury convertible.
1958 Pontiac Parisienne Convertible.
I built this car out of a super basket case.
I welded 6 months on this car alone.
It is a 348 tri-power, bucket seats and
with practically every factory and dealer option available in 1958.
We drove this car to Hot August Nights in 2004.
1958 Mercury Convertible
I looked for one of these cars for about 10 years
and finally got this one from John Fowlie in Calif.
We restored it with a 430, full power with memory seat and everything and it is big.
I was able to find a lot of NOS parts for this car
probably because not many of these cars are being restored.
Mostly 57's.
When I found the 59 Impala it was a rust bucket folded up on a 8 ft pallet.
The car had no interior or powertrain.
It was originally a black Canadian built car.
I have installed a 1995 LT-1 fuel injected engine with 700R4 trans
but when finished this car will look like it was built this way from the factory(I hope)
It is going to be the usual cruiser with fender-skirts,
full continental kit, spotlights and so on.
It is presently 70% finished but will probably be finished for next spring.
This 1959 Edsel Convertible
is the latest addition to the Mountaintop Collection.
Of course it goes without saying, this machine has full power options and has been meticulously
restored under skilled hands.
Another beautiful contribution to an already stunning collection. Congrats Guys!
