Note from the President
With the touring season about
over for 2010, I would like to thank all
who planned and pulled off a group of
very exciting tours.
Many of our members attended
Regional, National and World Model
“A” Meets during the past year. This en-
thusiasm in our club has made us one of
the best in the country.
Don‟t forget the Charity Auction
at our November meeting. Bring items
to the auction and money to buy. Ed
Giesen will be bringing his truck for us
to fill with canned goods and non-
perishable food which will be donated to
the Kansas Food Bank.
Three people have volunteered to
select three charities for the auction pro-
ceeds to go to. Dawna Ruggles, Lenette
Kottas and Brenda Broadhead have se-
lected Operation Holiday, Share the Sea-
son, and the Wichita Childrens Home.
Your money or check will go to the char-
ity of your choice. This will make the
process much easier for our treasurer.
We will not have a meeting in
December but there will be the Ladies
Christmas Luncheon, Club Christmas
Party and New Years Day Excursion so
don‟t put old Betsy away for the winter
just yet.
Swap Meet will be here soon so
look at your schedules and allow time to
sign up and help.

Help Bob !!!
Who is the nice gentleman who
provided a Bendix for Bob Beaver's car on
the Joplin Tour? He would like to give a
Bendix back to you but doesn't remember
who you are. If you are a very nice gentle-
man and gave Bob your Bendix, please call
him at …………..
The family of Allan Pendleton would like to express our sincere
thanks and appreciation to everyone in the Model „A‟ Club who reached
out to Dad during his last days. His wish was to die at home just like
Mom did, and because of your willingness to share your time he was able
to do just that.
We cannot say "Thank You!" enough for the visits, the cards and
the wonderful meals that were provided. Thanks are also in order to the
club members who drove their Model A's to both funerals. It was nice to
see the cars and the people that had meant so much to our parents through-
out their lives be there one last time to send them "on the road again" to
their final resting place. We picture them happily together again, and most
importantly, healthy together again! We have truly been blessed that our
parents had such a special group of friends who helped take such great
care of BOTH of them during their final days. We could not have done it
without you!
The Wichita A's are an awesome group of people! We will never
forget what you did for the Pendleton family!
Sincerely,
Allan Pendleton, Jr. and Family
Caron Patterson and Family
The Pendleton Family Thank You
What is the Charity Auction All About?
For many years the Wichita A‟s have held a Charity Auction for
the program during the November club meeting. For old timers this is an
event we look forward to in order to help our local charities. For new
comers this is what is entailed. An auction is held following the Novem-
ber club meeting. Admission to this auction is a donation of food (canned
or dry goods), which is collected and donated to the Kansas Food Bank.
We bring items we want to sell and we bid on and pay for items we win.
Everyone brings item(s) like Model „A‟ parts, household items, food or
craft items to sell to the highest bidder. Remember, junk does not bring in
much money and good items bring in a lot of money.
The proceeds from the auction will be donated to three charities
which have already been selected for this year. The three charities are Op-
eration Holiday, Share the Season, and Wichita Childrens Home.
When the auction is over, to whom and how do I pay? You keep
track of your personal winnings and total up the amount you owe. You
can pay cash or write a check to the charity of your choice. There will be
someone, in the back of the room, who will collect and give the money to
the designated charity.
This auction is a fun and entertaining social event that also bene-
fits our local charities. McCurdy Auction has graciously volunteered
again this year to do the auction.
If you have any questions, please contact one of the officers of the
club.

The Wichita Early Ford V8 Club of
Wichita Thanks the Wichita 'A' Model A
Ford Club for their donation to our "All
Ford Day". Also we want to thank you for
the support you have given us in the past
years.

Two years ago when Gary and Pamela Kirk
were in Texas they noticed a swap meet in Belton, Texas
and stopped to look around. They bought a golf cart that
they thought they could use at home. While Gary was
loading it in the back of the pickup Pam was looking
around some more and came to ask Gary if he had seen
the Model A Sedan Delivery for sale. He had looked at it
and moved on but since Pam thought it was really neat he
went back to take another look. They thought the price
was too high so they came home without it,
In the next few days Gary called the owner in
Hillsboro, Texas and made an offer on the Sedan Delivery
which was declined. A day or two later the owner called
and accepted Gary’s offer so they hooked up the trailer
and went back after it.
They have since added the Kirk’s Meadow vinyl
inscription and art work on the sides which Gary pur-
chased from a vendor at the Iola, Wisconsin swap meet.
When the Kirks built their home on 7 acres north
of Maize, the Metro Planning Commission rezoned the
area, from farm ground to residential and named it Kirk’s
Meadow. The Kirks were very happy with the name and
thought they should inscribe the name on their sedan de-
livery. RG

THERE WAS A WEEEING
Charles E. Davidson took a job at the Coleman Com-
pany of Wichita in 1918 in the engineering department. He
continued to work there for 40 years until 1958. The family
still has his 40 year service pin.
Sometime around WW11, Mr. Davidson purchased a
30 Model A Ford Coupe for a work car. The previous owner
is unknown but some of the family lore indicated that it was
a service car for a filling station on North Broadway. In
those days before jumper cables it might be more accurate to
refer to it as a “push car” as the front bumper had vertical
bars attached, that looked like spring leaves. This would have
allowed them to give a push to about any vehicle.
Mr. Davidson died in 1959 and his children inherit-
ed the Model A. For the next 32 years, his son, Victor kept
the car but never bothered to title it. In 1991 he died and two
of his sons wound up with it. They had quite a time getting
the title cleared and in their names.
Charley, our current club member, and grandson of
Charles E. took the car “under his wing” and started to work
on it. Over a period of years He restored the chassis and
maintained the hydraulic brakes, tube shocks and 16” wheels.
He knew he wanted a driver so he kept the modifications that
had been added over 40 years previous.
This car had really “been through the mill”. It was
painted medium green all over. Charley wonders if it was
Coleman green? When he stripped the paint from the panel
above the rear window he discovered some lettering that
looked like “Free Pickup and Delivery” which seems to veri-
fy the filling station, push car theory.
The car had a steel top that was welded on. The un-
derside of the visor was welded to the header panel. The rear
fenders had been replaced with the narrow sedan fenders, cut
down the middle from front to back and a 2”-3” strip welded
in to make them wide enough. This required new fenders.
The firewall was really butchered to accommodate numerous
modifications and had to be replaced. The entire sub-frame
for the body had to be replaced.
After 10-12 years Charley sent the car to a body
shop in the western part of the county. He had high hopes
for nice body work and paint but after 2 ½ years he picked it
up without it being finished.
Charlie and Marcelyn Davidson
Davidsons' Hand Me Down
In his search for a reputable restoration shop he
commissioned, Ron Kester of Ron’s Restorations in
Glade, Ks to complete the job. Ron took the car in Sept. 09
and finished it in July, 2010. His shop totally disassembled
the body, started over, and did it right.
Charley and his wife Marcelyn are very satisfied
and proud of the car and hope to participate in some club
activities. RG

Future Activities & Tours
Fall Fliog Tovr to Joplio
Thirty Model A‟s and two modern cars left on
October 15th for Joplin, MO on a three day tour. The
first day was a travel day. After arriving in Joplin we
were given a tour of the PMI Paint Factory. They
showed us how “Powder Coat Paint” was made.
We were given an extensive, behind the
scenes, tour on how candy is made at the Chocolate
Factory. While one half of the group was taking the
tour the other half was purchasing candy. If you are a
relative to any of the shoppers you now have an idea
as to what you might expect for a Christmas gift.
Next we toured the Tri-State Mineral Muse-
um. Kerry & Wanda Steffens left early for the Rain-
bow Bridge, near Riverton, KS so they could get set up
and take photographs of our individual cars driving
over the bridge. Thank you Kerry & Wanda!
We ate lunch at “Café on the Route” in Baxter
Springs, KS. Richard & Amy Sanell are the owners.
The chef, Richard Sanell, was featured on Diners,
Drive-In and Dives on Food Network TV a couple of
years ago. He did an outstanding job with our meal.
On the way back to Joplin, the leader (me….)
missed the turn to the Tri-State Marker, (the point
where the states of Oklahoma, Missouri and Kansas
meet), and continued on to Joplin. I corrected the
mistake the next morning and we stopped at the Tri-
State Marker on our way home. We found two mark-
ers, one old and one new. The new one was located 50
feet east of the old one. Following a more recent sur-
vey, Kansas gained ground with the placement of the
new marker.
We took the southern route home through,
Niotaze, Sedan, Cedar Vale and Dexter. At Dexter
two of the groups decided on the adventure of taking
the shortcut to Winfield. There was plenty of road kill
on this road to make possum stew but mostly aged a
bit too much. We ate at the restaurant in downtown
Winfield and parked on Main Street. Thirty Model
A‟s on Main was quite a spectacle for the local resi-
dents.
Bob Beaver had to replace his broken Bendix
at the motel the first night. Bob Bruce started to have
a major engine problem in north Joplin and drove the
phaeton to the motel. It went home on a trailer being
pulled by Frank Chenoweth‟s modern truck.
The weather was surprisingly beautiful for the
middle of October. The trees were just beginning to
change colors.

Wichita A's Meos Tovr
We left town on Saturday, October 30th for a fun filled weekend. We toured How-
ard Alger‟s large private car collection near Chanute, KS. After lunch at the Grain
Bin restaurant in Chanute, visited Mark Freimiller‟s Model T Haven in Iola, KS.
The next morning we drove to Florence, KS, had lunch and then visited Joe
Hayes‟ Salvage yard. Joe was featured recently in Old Cars Weekly magazine.
There were 38 men and 22 Model A's on the tour. Several of the guys got
good deals on Model „A‟ parts at Model „T‟ Haven, but no one was able to make a
deal on parts at Florence.
We drove about 330 miles, and experienced no car problems.

No. 5899. Contrasting materials accent a smart yoke, ex-
tended to form drop shoulders and cut in points front and
back.
No. 5937. Tailored lines are practically interpreted in a
school frock with a round yoke extended in a tab down the
front.
No. 5966. A one-sided effect is lent to an attractive frock
by a band cut in one with the skirt, extending around the
neck.
Tech Talk Technical Tip
As a long time Model A owner there are always two items that I keep close
at hand for quick access when needed. The two items are a 5/8” combination
wrench, handle wrapped with PVC tape and a 4” length of ¾” hose.
When it is necessary to disconnect the battery cable from the starter switch,
the insulated wrench is to insure you will not short out the battery to the stem on the
adjacent starter switch. Unless you have an insulated wrench it is very easy
(probably inevitable) that you will touch the stem and throw sparks.
When the nut is off the switch very carefully lift the battery cable off the stud
and slip the hose over it to insulate it from ground. This can also be a spark thrower
if you touch the cable end to ground. Once the hose is slipped over the cable end
then you can safely remove the starter or make other repairs.
The hose can be, heater or garden type, but make sure it is large enough to
slip over the battery cable end.
Those with 12 volt conversions may already have a disconnect switch so
they can disconnect the power at the battery, and the importance of the tools is nil.
In addition to the shop tool box I try to keep a set in both Model A‟s. RG
