Model “A” News Magazine, on the Road again submission for May/June 2019 issue:
North Penn Model A’s – We started out the year with a very well attended Holiday Party in January. Everyone enjoyed the buffet while our annual awards for the Most Spirited, Most Helpful, Rusty Wrench, and the President’s Member Appreciation awards were handed out to this year’s participants. The night ended with a spirited gift exchange which was fun for the 46 attendees. The 2019 touring event schedule began in March with our visit to the National Museum of Industrial History in Bethlehem, PA. The guided tour highlighted the process of making steel at the Bethlehem Steel plant which produced steel for skyscrapers, bridges, and U.S. Navy ships. After touring the museum, the club members walked outside along an elevated walkway taking in the vast 1100 foot-long steel plant. It was a sunny but cold day, where the heat from the blast furnaces would have been welcomed.

North Penn Model A’s – Club members went to the Mack Truck Museum in Allentown. They enjoyed the “Building America” exhibit that featured various trucks such as the 1923 AB model, the 1926 AC model with a Garwood hoist, and the 1937 AC model featuring diesel power that helped with the development of America’s infrastructure. Mack Trucks, founded by the Mack brothers, build rugged trucks led by its company’s signature Bulldog hood ornament. Also in May, 42 members attended a Tech Session at Old Forge garage where the focus was on shocks. While filling up on coffee and donuts, Club members got down and dirty checking car shocks for proper arms and linkage to provide a better ride and handling. Model A cars may not look tough like a Mack truck, but they continue to soar down the road led by its quail hood ornament.
