Presidents ReportBy Bob Nash

Welcome to March/April. Breakout months: longer days, more sun, warmer temps, swap meets,

snowbirds coming home, getting the cruiser ready. The Motor State calendar is filling up fast, so keep an

eye on that for endless things to do. An interesting cruise is being set up by Ken Callison (IDIDIT). It will

take you from Michigan to California with stops in between. Happening in August 2014. Sounds like fun,

contact Ken if interested.

Also time to think about your NSRA safety inspection. We have a new state inspector with Roy andMarge Drumm taking over from Dick and Kathy Confer. Dick retired at the end of 2012 with Michigan

again coming in number one in the nation. Thanks to the Confers for 25 years of inspecting. Hes not

done yet, just taking a different role.

Keep an eye out for some new iron showing up this spring and summer. I hear of 4 or 5 new pieces

seeing the light of day soon.

The two tier membership fee (for a paper copy of the newsletter) has been well received with more than

half of members singing up. Its a sign of the times, even my pension and social security are headed that

way. Speaking of the newsletter do you know someone that would be interested in advertising space in

a premium publication? See Rich if you do!

Transformation

As is the tradition of Motor State, the

Rodder of the Year for 2012 was

announced at our annual Christmas Party.Per the tradition, last years Rodder(s) of

the year picked this years and as is the

tradition, no rules are used in the pick.

The 2011 Rodders of the Year, JoAnn

Nash, Karen Plopan and Shirley Miller

selected a very deserving couple for the

2013 winners based on their willingness to

volunteer for any project or need of Motor

State Street Rods. They also have hosted

one of the Summer Meetings for several

years now at their wonderful home in the

Pickney area. Yes, great choice ladies for

picking Ann and Phil Reilly as this years

winner of Rodder of the Year. And thank

you Anne and Phil for what you do forMotor State.

What do you do when you got an extra hot rod and want to get rid of it for more

garage space. Well put it up of sale at a fair and reasonable price would be

the number one answer. Still cant sell it and it is a sound vehicle, well most

would drop the price but not John Schumont who by most standards is the

Motor States most prolific builder and fast too. He just decided that if it would

not sell at his price he just would redo the truck into something that was a little

different. A little different is an understatement considering that every inch of

the truck was touched in the transformation. The frame was extended as well

as the entire front end changed, fenders were added, the truck bed was

lengthened, the grill was changed, Camero bumpers were added after a

complete change in their look and then the hood was cut in over 60 places and

reconfigured. John who is known for putting slots in the metal ended up with

over 900 in this vehicle. And lord behold, John actually put some shinny white

paint on the truck but kept a flat yellow just to let us know he still likes that look.

One of the most amazing parts is all of this was done while John was still

recovering from a hip replacement. Claudia tried to keep him slowed down but

John does not know the meaning of low and slow except in the vehicles he

builds. Congratulations on this great truck John, another winner out of your

shop. See you and Claudia rolling down the road this summer with smiles to

the miles.

Before

And the A ter

And the Motor State Crew is not done yet, out in the village of Fowlerville

comes another transformation truck from the garage of Art Socher. Art did a

really nice job on the two tone paint change from the flat back that his truck

had on it and if that was not enough, check out the truck bed the next time you

are around this nice vehicle. Art is a high quality woodworker as seen in some

of the items he has done for the club but he outdone himself with the bed in

this vehicle, no stainless rub rails at all, it has real two tone wood back there

too. Art surprised us all with this one, we did not expect this one to be redone

especially since Art reacquired his Plymouth Convertible this past year and has

proudly drove it to the Hines Park Cruise. The two tone paint really sets this

truck off and makes it a show piece. We now have two recently redone trucks

in the club with one more in the works at the Nash household.

MSSR Christmas PartyBy Jim Stocke

Winter Garage Crawls

ANOTHER MSSR CHRISTMAS PARTY

HAS COME AND GONE

SOB, SNIFF, SNIFF

The distant lights are dim from so far away

but, ah, they brighten nicely as we motor our

machines through the December darknesstoward the one, the only, DeLucas that

fabulous eating place which is host to the

one, the only, MOTOR STATE STREET

RODDERS YEA!!! Bring on Christmas,

bring on the friends, but most important,

bring on the food. Gorf, gorf, gorf.

And so it was on this rainy evening that our

much anticipated Christmas party came to

fruition. Enter our private room duh well

almost private if you ignored the diners on

the other side of the short wall. Enter to be

greeted by the din of conversation coming

from the 48 folks who attended. Talk, talk,

talk.

Everyone please sit down so we can start

the festivities, okay? sez big bad Bob, our

illustrious leader. So sit down we do.

And now, the Rodder of the Year

announcement is upon us. Karen, JoAnn

and Shirley, please, front and center and

reveal your ultimate decision.

Up pop Karen, Joann and Shirley to

announce, with baited breath, the lucky,

deserving winner of this coveted award.

And the winner is(pregnant pause

here) is..ummmmm.Phil and Ann

Reilly.Applause, hoots, hollers, handsclapping,seven swans a singing,stomping feet, waving arms. Kudos,

accolades and congratulations to Phil and

Ann, a deserving choice. All of us delight

in those great summer parties they host.

How cool is their home, boat, lake and

pork loins.

Okay, okay, enough early festivities. Lets

get down to business and eat. Hey, who

has the broasted chicken, Jim cries. Oh,

oh, half the crowd speaks up. Hey, that

broasted stuff is popular. How about the

New York Strip or the Prime Rib, or the

regular chicken or the great pasta dish.

Dont forget those cheesy mashed

potatoes and wonderful green beans that

my mother used to force me to eat. And

remember the pre dinner salad

accompanied by some warm soft bread

rolls. Ah, and whats for dessert? Oh, what

else from an Italian restaurant, Spumoni of

course.

All the while we gab, gum flap, talk,

converse, commiserate, bullshit and enjoy

each others company. Maybe there

should be a revision to our finest skill

which is eating to another skill: supremely

enjoying our great friends, members of the

legendary Motor State Street Rods.

But wait! Theres more! Dennis (not the

Menace) is in charge of an auction. What?

Auction? Oh boy the men cry out. There

are five, 15 pound cans of miscellaneous

chrome and stainless nuts, bolts and

washers along with some stainless

enginebolt sets and a very cool displayplaque of various logos embossed on bo

heads.

Okay guys, start the bidding at twenty

dollars. Do I hear 25.., 30.. Oh yeah,

cool, 40. Do I hear more? Hey Don,

thanks for the $45 dollar bid and its

yours.

And so it goes for four more: one by Dave

Sabin, one more for Don and one for Jim

Bob gets the display and Dave bids again

and gets all four engine bolt sets in one

fell swoop. After the broo-ha-ha of the

auctions settles, we find our charity fund

$251 richer. A very nice sum. Now we

can exercise our charity fund and do

some good in the world.

Okay, if an auction is not enough, howabout a raffle? Joanne gets up; draws

several names to take home the vases o

each of the tables. By the way, Karen and

Joanne once again did the table stuff

including the vases and those cute, little

clear plastic boxes of M & Ms at each

place setting. Thanks to Karen for the

table decorations and gifts as well as

Joanne again. And thanks to Rich for

once again setting up DeLucas for our

fabulous, fantastic and fun annual

Christmas Party. It is all now a memory.

Sob, sniff, sniff.

I will take responsibility for this article,Jim Stocke

MSSR Cruisin Plans for 2013

2013 looks to be another great year for

cruisin with Motor State Street Rods. Several

events are planned for this year so we hope

all of you can participate in some of these fun

times.

IN APRIL

As soon as winter removes its grip on

Michigan the cars will begin rolling out of the

garages and be prepared for another great

season. On April 27 and 28, some of the

members will migrate to Willington Ohio for

the first of four Ohio Mile Runs put on by the

ECTA timing association. Not something that

is exactly a spectator event is made fun by

the presence of at least two of our members

trying to run in the 200 mph range.

IN MAY

On the first weekend of May, some will head

south for the NSRA Southern Nats in

Knoxville TN so hopefully, the weather will be

good for the trip and show

IN JUNE

On June 8th, all MSSR Members will get a

chance to pay back to Gardner Westcott for

all they do for us by attending the Salem

Michigan Flag Day and participate in the

parade and show plus share some ice cream

with the group. Also on June 8th

and 9th

is

the second Ohio Mile for the speed demons.

Later in the month will be the Downriver

Cruise and hopefully all the construction that

put a damper on this event last year will no

longer exist and the traffic will be back to a

nice flow. And last but not least will be the

first MSSR Summer Meeting which are a do

not miss fun time with great food and great

company.

IN JULY

On the 6th and 7th will be the third Ohio Mile

followed by the Goodguys Nationals in

Columbus Ohio on the 12th

through the 14th.

Last year the heat was an major issue at this

event so we are hoping for a nice summer

time weekend. Another Ohio event will be

the Blue Suede Cruise in Norwalk Ohio

on the 19th

through the 21st. Then it is

back to Michigan for the Telegraph

Cruise and the second MSSR Summer

Meeting.

IN AUGUST

We start this month off with a trip back

south to the BIG SHOW, the NSRA

Nationals in Louisville, KY. A group has

already committed to this event but

there is room for more if you want toattend. There you can see up to 10,000

cars and a multitude of vendors. Next

up will be either the Woodward Dream

Cruise or Back to the Bricks depending

on your preference so we will see you at

one of these events. Last rounding out

the month, will be the last summer

meeting at the Hines Park Cruise. All

that attended last years cruise had a

great time so plan on attending in 2013.

One change will be the entry area which

will be at the Merriman Road entry

where you will be required to go right tothe Nankin Mills turnaround area to

head to our location east of Merriman.

IN SEPTEMBER

First up will be the Frankenmuth

Autofest where in most cases the crew

will be there on Friday enjoying the

show. Then on to Kalamazoo for the

NSRA Northern Nationals which has

turned out to be a popular event for the

members so plan on this one, it comes

with a guarantee of fun with cars, family

and friends.

IN OCTOBER

We are not done till we go to the IDIDIT

Open House early in October, Last year

was cold but that did not stop a great

turnout and a fun day for all.

Lets See if Bob Likes It

before that first cruise

Probably the most important thing you will

do this year is have your car safety

inspected. MSSR members are fortunate

to have our very own Club President Bob

Nash, be a NSRA Safety Inspector. We

cannot express loud enough that each andevery car needs a complete Safety

Inspection before you head on down the

road and if like me at a somewhat high rat

of speed. And if you say, my car will not

pass because it has no windshield wipers

so why bother, well you are the one kiddin

yourself because yes, it will not pass the

NSRA test but it may not also pass

because you have not looked at a rag join

on the steering lately and got use to the

slop that could eventually kill you but with

an inspection, it will be pointed out to you

for immediate correction before you die in

an accident and if traveling with me, I hate

picking up after you so for my sake get it

inspected.

Step one before you give it to Bob is to do

a quick look yourself to the NSRA

inspection requirements.

calibrated tachometer at 65 mph

The Future of Hot RoddingBy Rich Pickens

Could this be the future of Hot Rodding,

well it looks like a Hot Rod, got a lot of

hand made parts like a Hot Rod, but wait a

minute, it sure does not sound like a Hot

Rod. If our government has anything to dowith it, then all of us hard core rodders will

have to start thinking green and this sure is

green. An all electric hot rod, yep, electric.

Several months ago back in 2012, Al

Piggott got involved with Macomb

Community College as an advisor on a

neat project that the students were

undertaking and the project involved

creating an electric vehicle from scratch.

So why not have some fun and do one that

could go to cruise nights and car shows

and deliver the message of batterypowered vehicles while still being cool.

Now they should of known better because

Al is a poster child for things different and

he has friends that are also out of the mold

that they forgot to break when Al was

conceived many years ago..

One of the other persons on the left of

different is David Nedock who like Al is

known for going real fast in a fuel funny car

for many years but has of lately devoted his

time to NEHR Speedcraft in Southfield that

creates a Hot Rod in a Box for customers.Dave took on the challenge of creating the

body and rolling components for the car

and went a little crazy in terms of

craftsmanship creating a truly beautiful

work of art. Just take a gander at these

photos to see some of the work coming out

of his shop.

And if you are not sure about driving a

electric, remember, Mr. Piggott is involved

and he likes thing fast so just wait till you

see and not hear this thing rolling by, you

may turn green.

Seen but not heard, not exactly your typica

hot rods but remember, there are no rules i

Hot Rodding.

Continued from Prior Page

Motor State Winter Garage Crawls

A large contingent of Motor State Street

Rod members showed up for the first

garage crawl of the winter on Saturday

January 5th

at the Miliken warehouse in

Ypsilanti Michigan where the world famous

Stocke Mobile is housed for its winter rest.

The One and Only Stocke Mobile

Once a month the garage is open to the

public serving donuts and coffee and

allowing for a nice roaming in the confines

of this well heated facility where you can

look at anything from sports cars to antique

vehicles as well as some good old

Good old American Iron Plastic

American Iron. Have not seen a Morgan in

awhile, well just stop by and you will see at

least three resting here, or a Franklin or a

Rolls right on down to a bunch of Porscheswith a well placed Contash. Old Cadies,

Any Grey Pupon My Dear

old trucks, and old people filled the place

on this Saturday and the crowd was large

with a lot of the owners like Jim Stocke

there willing to talk about their babies to

anyone who wanted to listen. So if you are

bored on the first Saturday of the month

this winter, YPSI is calling and you can

spend the morning bench racing with the

old cars stored here.

On Wednesday, January 23, eight club

members hit the road to visit the Auburn

Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum.

These eight members braved the singledigit temps that morning in the 2 hour

drive to Auburn, Indiana Don and Gerri

McKinnon, Rich Pickens, Lori Spisz, Jim

Stocke, Denny Peters, John Shumont and

Kurt Kiser. Once in Auburn, we gathered

for some breakfast at the Bob Evans and

then went off to the museum.

This museum is a National Historic

Landmark that is really worth seeing. A

visit can easily be done as a day trip from

the Detroit area. The museum inhabits the

former Auburn Automobile Companys

national headquarters building that was

built in 1929-30. The original 12,000 sq. ft.

corporate showroom and much of the office

areas have been preserved in their original

art-deco design. In addition to the

showroom, you can see E.L. Cords office

and conference room, the clay modeling

area and Gordon Buehrigs design office

including many original drawings by both

Buehrig and Leamy.

The museum contains over 120 cars and

many photos and other interesting displayon the history of these three brands as we

as other brands of automobiles built in

Indiana, such as Studebaker, McIntyre an

Crosley. The museum has the greatest

and most extensive collection of Auburn,

Cord, and Duesenberg automobiles in the

world, and features the largest exhibit of

Duesenberg automobiles on public displa

in the world.

Many of the vehicles on display are very

rare and a number of them are one-offs

Most of the displays include a history of th

specific car on display including who

owned it and how it got in the museum.

Some of the vehicles were owned by well-

known people in history and the car stories

are quite interesting.

A brief timeline history of these companies:

Auburn Automobile was

incorporated in Auburn in 1903.

E. L Cord joins the company in1924 at age 30

The Cord vehicle line was

launched by Auburn-Cord in 1929

with the L-29 model which was the

first American front wheel drive

vehicle.

The 1929 Duesenberg Model J

introduced

Stock market crash of October

1929 which starts the great

depression

Alan Leamy begins the car design

work for Auburn in 1931

Gordon Buehrig designs were

introduced for Auburn in 1935

Business declined in 1936 and

business closed in 1937

A grand total of 177,000 Auburn,

Cord and Duesenberg vehicles

were produced.

If you have not been to this museum, if is

worth the trip. The volunteer guides are

very knowledgeable about the cars on

display and the history of the companies.

MID WINTER BLAH MEDICINE:

THE GREAT LINGENFELTER CAR

COLLECTION!

How the hell?....How does anyone have 35

million dollars laying around to spend on a

car collection? Just imagine that for a

moment. Thats 35 huge ones, you know,

millions. I am blown away; Ill never be the

same again. Yeah, that is the value of the

LIngenfelter Collection

February 12thBy Jim Stocke

fabulous car collection we MSSRers saw

today. Mind blowing!!

There were three buildings specifically built

to house this huge collection. We enter

the first one, large and brilliantly lit with a

light gray epoxy coated floor to behold row

upon row of magnificence. Some of the

most valuable and beautiful driving

machines on the planet come into view.

The excitement is intense. Ken

Lingenfelter himself greets us a gracious

and friendly guy who introduces us to

Nathan, our guide. Nathan was

knowledgeable and easy to talk with which

enhanced our tour experience greatly. This

Lingenfelter guy is a class act to provide us

a capable guy like Nathan for the better

part of two hours.

Lets jump in there and start drinking it all

in. Well start with the fabulous Bugatti

Veyron! Wow, wow, wow. You can have

one of these babies for about two million.

For that you get about 1100 some odd

horses and a 0 to 60 time of about 2.5

seconds. Hey, but dont try to open the

hood, you cant. Only factory authorized

technicians flown from Italy are allowed to

work on these fabulous machines. With

that in mind you can understand why an

ordinary oil change goes for $25,000. Man

o man, I could pay for six lifetimes of oil

changes for that amount. Okay, onward to

the Ferrari Enzo followed by an F40,

followed by the collection of Callaway

Corvettes, followed by five 53 and 54

original Vettes and on and on and on to

about 130 magnificent machines. Alas

though, only one streetrod, a 36 Chevy

coupe to die for. Well, cant mention all of

them but why not talk about an LSV8

powered Solstice, several Lamborghinis,

a Vector (They made a few on a

Lamborgini chassis), an early 50s Chevy

pickup made with a new body married to a

Trailblazer chassis, an extremely rare

Porche 959, an Auburn (replica), a

Prowlerwhew. And theres more but,

you can see them in the club album.

Maybe I should mention the DeLorean

and Cadillac Allante. Mr. Lingenfelter

probably included these to remind us thathuge mistakes are sometimes made in

the car business.

So who braved the winter cold to trek to

Brighton for this event? Okay here is the

roster: Rich Pickens, Don McKinnon, Joh

Gavasso, Dennis Peters, Al Piggot, Jim

Stocke (thats me), Art Socher and Kurt

Kiser and his friend, Rick. All of us

thoroughly enjoyed this great collection.

Us died in the wool car guys stick

together.

In order to calm our excitement at seeing

such a sight as this beautiful collection,

we decided that a respite at Bakers was

in order. Bakers sure looks different on a

non cruise day. The lunch crowd was

almost nonexistent as is the case for

many restaurants in mid winter on a

Tuesday. But, the anticipation is there; all

around us as we imagine summer and the

world famous Bakers cruise days. Hurry

up car season!

IDIDIT Seminars

First the good news: At the first seminar,

the IDIDIT owners announced that 2012

was the best year they have had so far

restoring our faith that Hot Rodding was

not done. In addition, they also said they

had hired new sales people and were nowon board. We want to congratulate this

outstanding family business on what they

have accomplished over the past years

and prove that a quality product made in

America wins every time. Now one with

the report on the seminars.

January 19th, House of ColorBy Rich Pickens

Arriving on this cold day in January you

would not know it was winter in Michigan,

this was the largest crowd everexperienced at IDIDIT for a seminar.

There was easily well over 250 people

assembled for this seminar and could well

of been the maximum that the shop could

seat or handle. The first seminar was put

on by House of Colors and presented by

one of the premier painters of candy

colors in not only the USA but worldwide.

Jon Kosmoski gave a background of the

history of the company and how he

started the business when he noticed that

others were interested in his candy mixes.

Jon mixed the presentation of how toswith and intermix of stories of the various

painters he has worked with in his 75 year

history, yes still painting and building cars

at 75 years old. Jon has almost 200 best

of paint awards on his shelf from these

years of working with paint. Jon went

from the start, body preparation to final

coat in the seminar giving us a lot of

information on things he has learned in

his experience. We went through not only

the history of paints now being used and

how they evolved but into the best of

materials to use down to the sandpaperand grits to use including the things that

will cause you problems in the long run if

not done properly. Jon easily had 25

things that he said will cause problems

down to the secrets of applying the actual

paint and settling times between coats.

Most of us will never get to the point of

using candies since they are probably the

hardest product to get right but his

knowledge and steps in the process were

valuable for anyone wanting to do their

own prep and bodywork. Jon was still

presenting well beyond the time that was

scheduled for the seminar as part of the

crowd left with a head full of new ideas

and techniques to use on that next build.

February 16th, PowermasterBy Jim Stocke

POWERMASTER STARTERS AND

ALTERNATORS

Ken and Jane of Ididit sure know how to

make the dreary Michigan winters a little

brighter: Bring in folks involved in the hot

rod industry to talk to local car guys about

their products. A very simple idea that has

been very successful. Hey, throw in a mid

morning cookie/coffee break, a great

lunch and you have a couple hundred car

guys happy and smiling as a result of this

cool car fix. And, so, for several years

now, great informational presentations

have happened at the Tecumseh home of

Ididit once a month for three months in the

dead of winter. I should mention that

these seminars are great social events

too. What more could you ask?

Arriving at Ididit in the gray morning light,

you come into their great car parts retail

area filled with lots of friendly folks all

looking forward to seeing the guys from

Powermaster talk about their starters and

alternators. We all meander to the back of

the building where a large screen and

platform have been set up in front of lots

of chairs. Promptly at 10 AM, Kim

Callison, subbing for her mom who was

under the weather this day, calls on

everyone to pay attention as the festivities

are starting. Settle down we do to listen to

Brady Basner and Jim Morehouse of

Powermaster talk for over three hours

sharing their vast, detailed knowledge

about starters and alternators. Yeah, I ca

hear it now. How can over three hours of

starters and alternators be interesting?

Well, car guys can listen forlong periodsand learn about such things and not get

bored. My skepticism faded about 15

minutes into the program and I learned

quite a lot about what may appear to be a

rather mundane topic.

Alas, only one other club member showed

up: Dennis Peters. Ah, well, not everyone

wants to brave the gray cold morning tohear about starters and alternators.

Autorama 2013

Fifty years of Ridler Winners, yes that is

what 2013 is all about at the Detroit

Autorama. Most of us are not even that old,

sure, right they say. Some can even

remember the very first winner of the Ridler

when it was all about innovation andcreativity that did not cost an arm and a leg.

The First Ridler Winner Returned

Todays winners are flawless in

craftsmanship and assembly. The good

news is that they are laid out for us to

admire in our hometown. While not

competiting for the Ridler, MSSR members

John Schumont brought his skills to Cobo

with his newly finished Chevy truck.

John Schumont was in the Basement

Bob Houchins, finally got the 40 Convt

Custom done in time for this show.

Bobs Beautiful Blue Custom

The neat part is both have created a new

version of an old car with Johns truck being

completely redone and Bobs 40 being

refurbished just like in the day, but with

better paint for sure as the blue is flawless

and eye candy.

One great thing about this Autorama was the

presence of 25 former Ridler winners and

how they compare today with the recent

winners. The standard of the day was

unique considering you could win this award

out of your garage exhibiting your skills,

today, it takes an army of craftsman, some

assigned just to a hood or trunk lid. Former

club member and past president Everett

Rezendes exhibited his 1980 winner which is

still a great car. In later years, we had the

The 1980 Winning Cranberry Express

Grand Master winning car which started or

advance the need for high bucks to win the

Ridler. More about this years nominations

and winner, later.

The Grand Master

The show continued in the basement where

we now see some cars that go there just

A nice 32 down below

because the party is better down there. The

basement this year had some quality cars

and it was stuffed full and one display had

Gene Winfield doing a chopped top on a

Chevy Coupe.

The Basement, Full UP

Back upstairs, the cars were mild to wild

and this floor was also filled to capacity

There were a lot of contenders for the

Ridler Award with Chip Foose bringing

nice Caddy from California. Rad Rods

by Troy had three contending and a

bunch of builders from all over the

county present. This may have been

one of the biggest lists in history and a

bunch of money spent in the attempt.A Speed 33 and Mod Motor

We could go on and on about the cars in

the house at this anniversary edition of

the Ridler Award since there were so

many. Yes Hot Rods, mild to wild seem

to make a comeback this year. This year

had a lot of nostalgia and eliminated

almost all motorcycles and tuners and

seemed to hold back on the muscle cars

somewhat

Danny Plopan sent in these pictures from aLake Havasu event that is all about drag

racing. There is a dream in this area that a

new drag racing facility can be built and

host events including old fashion nostalgia

racing. Enjoy the pictures.

---------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, down Florida way, Gary

Lazette sent in some photos and

explained what is happening in Florida.

On the first Saturday of everymonth thelittle town of Dade City Florida shuts thestreets down for a car show. On the day ofthe show I was walking with a friend and hesaid there's your car up on the corner. Sureenough there was a 1939 Buick coupe likemine. I went up to look at it and it was redand had a red interior like mine. I talked tothe owner and I told him that I had one likeit. He laughed and said he has people saythat all the time. He asked me if I had it atthe show and I told him no that it was backin Michigan. After some more Chit - Chathe invited me to come to his garage and tobring a picture of my Buick so that he mightlook at it.

I went out to his house not knowing what atreat I was in for. In the garage besidesthe 39 Buick It was a Ford lovers dream.The cars in the garage were a1939 Buick460 cu. in. Ford powered Sunbeam Tigerwith the 260 motor removed and replaced

with a 302 there were 2 1964 FairlaneSport Coupes both with 351 crate motors,4 speeds and air, one Fairlane was Red

and the other was Black, also a 1965Falcon Sprint was in the garage and it alshad a 351 crate motor with 4 speed andair. There was also a model a coupe witha 302 with automatic and air. The best of

all was that also in the garage was 1965

Shelby 350 Mustang and Ford GT. He toldme that his next addition would be aShelby Cobra. To make room for theCobra he would sell the Coupe for $

12,000 or the 2 fairlanes for $ 10,000 eac

Thanks for the photos guys, helps us get

through the winter in the WinterWonderland. Yep, Pure Michigan

sometimes is not so pure.

Also down in Florida, Gary Lazette was

stopped at a swap meet by two former

members of Motor State Street Rods who

sent along a greeting to all the members

past and presents. A charter member of

Motor State, Ray West and long time

member Jack Krompatic said to tell

everyone hello.

Latest on Michigan Year

of Manufacture Plates

Authentic Historic Vehicle license plates

are actual Michigan registration plates that

match the year of manufacture (model

year) of an historic vehicle, which is defined

as a vehicle which is 26 or more years old,and which is owned solely as a collectors

item and for participation in club activities,

exhibitions, tours, parades and similar

usesbut is not used for general

transportation (MCL257.20a).

Reproductions of license plates are not

acceptable.

An Authentic Historical Plate may be

restored to like-new condition. However,

the plate must use the same colors that

were originally used for the plate year.

Plate colors cannot be changed for any

reason, including matching the vehiclescolor.

The plate registration remains valid until

the registrant sells, transfers, or scraps the

vehicle. The plate may not be transferred

to another vehicle. The historic vehicle

must be deemed safe to operate on

Michigan highways. The Secretary of State

may revoke an authentic historic plate

(MCL257.803p).

Also: Authentic historic plat registrations

are not maintained on the Law

Enforcement Information Network (LIEN).

To verify this registration, the police officerwill review the owners validated

registration document and/or send a LIEN

inquiry to the Michigan Department of

State. So make sure you have all the

proper paperwork available in case of

stopped by a law enforcement officer.

LA Roadster Show

Did they get it right

In Detroit, the most prestigious award for a

show car is the Ridler Award. In California,

it is the Americas Most Beautiful Roadster

(AMBR) Award. In past years we have

seen this award go to cars where each nutand bolt was degreed to perfection. This

year there seemed to be a swing to more

traditional builds as several cars in

contention were not what were normally

considered for this award.

The Contenders

And the 2013 AMBR Winner was a car

built by Roy Brizio and crew. 27 Roadsterwith a track nose.

Cruisin and Other RamblingsBy the Editor

The new Ford Focus had an overheating

problem on a particular engine recently

and the fix was a software update, I bet

anyone of us would have never envisioned

this in the day. Even worse, just consider

the cost of a fully trained mechanic thesedays, besides being able to turn a wrench;

they are now required to get a PHD in

computer science. My cardiologist is not

that smart, or maybe the human body is

not as complicated as vehicles anymore.

For those of you that have not been on the

Motor State Street Rods web site in awhile,

check out the photo section which has

some of our events being posted. Now

you do not have to wait to see the great

albums that Jim and Judy Stocke put

together of our events, just go to the website and see what you look like to others.

And like mentioned earlier in the

newsletter, you can always see a lot of our

events on HotRodHotLine due to the great

photographs of our own, Bob Steinhaus.

I got to figure that the next energy crisis in

the good old USA will be the power grid.

The weird thing is that it will not be due to

electric cars sucking up kilowatts but will

actually be caused by the devices that we

are all using these days in the form of

phones, Ipods, Ipads, computers, gamesand you name it. This held true last

Christmas when out of the 11 grandkids,

only two had presents that did not plug into

an electric outlet. Two good old dolls were

cordless. The good thing is as kids we

threaten to leave home when mom and

dad grounded us, now they cannot go too

far because the extension cord is too short

to leave home. Just saying.

For all you that need something to read,

may I suggest the Mid-Michigan Street

Rod Association Newsletter. They are kindenough to mail us a copy of this monthly

edition (which the idea of Monthly wears

me out at the thought of it) and each one is

in our clubhouse reading rack. If you have

ever gone to Kalamazoo and the NSRA

Nats North, you have met some of the

members who manage the registration and

a gate at the fairgrounds. In addition, this

is a large active club that has been around

for over 40 years now and has got a

proven track record of charity endeavors.

Hats off to the club and hats off to any

editor crazy enough to put together a

monthly newsletter. And, if you see them

at registration this year, thank them for all

they do at this event to make life easy for

you.

A lot of you signed up for the newsletter to

be mailed to your homes and we

appreciate your support. Now since you

are paying for the mailing, I do not have to

watch how many pages as closely as

before in order to keep the cost down. So

we will do our best to get you some value

for supporting the newsletter and keep it

filled with the great events MSSR supports.

In case you have not looked at our sponsor

page lately you need to check it out since

we have John Schumont on board with hislouver business. We are getting great

support from our members where you can

buy or sell a house with the services of

Sharon Ambroziak or get a car repaired by

Mary Ann Schantzs son Doug at Dougs

auto and truck services or up north by the

Ballard family at Village Auto Service.

Need paint or body, go straight to Ray

Savage at Savage Rod and Custom in

Canton or Woodwork at LaPrairie Wood

Works and finally if your hair is a mess,

see Lori Spiszs add on the sponsors

page. And do not forget all those shinynuts and bolts at Gardner Westcott make

everything look better.

I use to have a problem with people who

bought cars and never drove them but

after the tour at the Museum in Auburn IN I

could just park this one in my living room

and look at it forever, one problem though,

it probably wont fit. Love this car though.

Want to thank all the new contributors to

the newsletter in this edition; your help is

appreciated as well as adding to the value

and content to the club members. Thanks

Cruising since 1976FUN WITH CARS, FAMILY and FRIENDS

The Motor State Street Rod Car Club was founded in 1976

as a social club to promote safe, family enjoyment of

modified vehicles.

The club is a non-profit benevolent organization

established to promote the enjoyment of older vehicles

and protect the specialized interests of its members.

In addition, the club lives up to its motto of "Fun with Cars,

Family and Friends" with less structured activities that may

include casual cruising, picnics, dances, dinners, swapmeets, car shows, rod runs, cruise-ins, and monthly

meetings. Funds raised every year are donated to various

needy causes.

Dan Laskey

1947 Ford Coupe

The 1947 Ford line was similar to the short1946. Visual differences included theremoval of the red accents from the grilland the two small lights located just aboveit. Ford began titling 1947s in February1947. For the first few weeks, the 1947model was identical to the 1946. Ford thenrestyled the body slightly first by movingthe parking lights from above the grill tobelow each headlight. Exterior moldingswere changed from grooved to a smooth

design. A new hood ornament with a blueplastic insert was installed. New hubcapdesign became available in March. Interiordash color was changed from red accentto gold. By September the roof mountedantenna was moved to the cowl. Hornswere moved to in front of the radiator fromthe engine compartment. The final 1947models were titled in November.
