    The Rumble Sheet

    March—April 2017 Volume 58 , Issue 2

    Greetings my fellow Model A-ers,

    I am really at a loss for words. With the recent passing of long-time club mem-bers Vincent Massucci & Marc Hillman, I would like to take this time to express my deepest condolences to their families and friends. Their presence will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.

    I would like to welcome our newly elect-ed board members Bob & Lolly Segnini as director and recording secretary re-spectively. Since their election, they have proven themselves to be thorough, and very detailed with their responsibili-ties. They are certainly a wonderful ad-dition to our club’s Board of Directors. I want to congratulate them and wish them the best of luck in their positions. I also want to thank the rest of the board and support positions for the jobs they do for the benefit of our club every day. I would like to specifically shout out Dennis Fagan, our membership chairperson, and Paul and Nannette Girolamo, our club store managers. All three of them have really stepped up to the plate and done amazing things with-in their roles.

    Earlier this month, on March 14, 2017, we were scheduled to have our board meeting. The day before our meeting, we received a call from OBVR inform-

    ing us that they were going to be closed on Tuesday due to the blizzard warning that was issued. Gary Glass suggested that instead of cancelling our meeting, holding it via conference call from the warmth and comfort of our homes. I am happy to report that we were able to successfully hold our board meeting via conference call. I want to thank Gary for his ability to think outside of the box in figuring out an alternative to meeting in person so quickly. While this is not something we will be doing on a regular basis, it worked quite well given the exi-gent circumstances. Great job again Gary, and thank you!

    Thank you all again for making this the best Model A Ford Club around. I hope to see you all on the road soon as spring arrives.

    Remember to keep the shiny side up and drive carefully.

    Warmest regards,

    Jerry

    Thinking of You

    Dottie French and Frank Licari.

    The rear-end gear ratio is the reduction in RPM achieved when the pinion gear (drive gear) engages the ring gear (driven gear). The ratio is calculated by divid-ing the number of teeth on the ring gear by the num-ber of teeth on the pinion gear. For example: If the ring gear has 34 teeth and the pinion gear has 9 teeth, the rear-end gear ratio is 3.78:1. (Standard on the Model A)

    This means that when the drive shaft turns 3.78 times the ring gear and the rear axles will turn one full revo-lution.

    The gear reduction in RPM multiplies the torque in the same ratio which allows the engine to move the car. As the gear ratio becomes higher (4.11:1) the torque is further increased at the loss of high end speed. Great if

    you have a heavy truck. Higher gear rear-end ratios require more engine RPM to make the same tire RPM.

    Car manufactures select a rear-end ratio based on en-gines, transmissions, and tire diameters.

    Changing the rear-end ratio will change your car or truck performance one way or the other, based on wether you want quick starts or cruising speed. Cruis-ing speed can also be increased with the addition of an over-drive transmission. An additional transmission was manufactured for the AA truck that was both an over and under-drive. This gave you the best of both, based on load.

    With Sympathy

    Our deepest sympathy to the family of Vincent Massucci. He

    passed away on March 17 following a long illness.

    Editor’s Message

    The snow has melted and the weather is growing

    warmer. Some of you may have enjoyed the Cracker

    Barrel Run, which I heard was very informative with

    lots to see.

    Jon Reiff has plenty more activities planned to keep us

    busy throughout the spring, summer and fall. Please

    check out Wheels in Motion.

    I have one request and I hope some of our club mem-

    bers will give me a hand. If you participate in a run or

    activity, please take note of who is in attendance, snap

    a few pictures and send me a few lines about it. I

    would love to share it in The Rumble Sheet. No muss,

    no fuss, just a new ‘voice’ for us to enjoy and a by-line

    for you!

    I’ve been a bit busy taking my daughter, Bridget, on

    college tours, to accepted students events, as well as

    volunteering on Senior Prom Committee. In short:

    my dance card is full until July! I hope to make it to

    an event or two once she has committed to a college.

    In the meantime, please help out by sending activity

    reports.

    I want to thank everyone for their help during this

    time.

    Thank you so very much!

    Sincerely,

    Kathy Schoendorf, Editor

    THE BIG PICTURE SHOW

    By Kathy Schoendorf

    Who doesn’t have a drive-in movie memory? Reach back into the corners of your mind and recall fun times

    with friends, family, or that special someone. My earliest recollection has me a pajama clad child, snuggled in blan-

    kets alongside my little sister in the back of my parent’s station wagon. It was a late 60’s Ford Country Squire

    with the obligatory faux wood panels. (I wish I had it today.)

    Those of us who enjoyed the drive-in movies have Richard Hollingshead of Camden, NJ to thank. He worked

    as a sales manager for his father’s auto products company and had an interest in cars and the movies. His interests

    inspired him to create an outdoor movie theater which would allow moviegoers to enjoy the show from their very

    own car seat. Hollingshead’s Camden driveway would become the birthplace of the drive-in movie theater.

    It was in his driveway that he mounted a 1928 Kodak projector on the hood

    of his car, aiming the projector at a screen he nailed up on trees in his back-

    yard. In addition to this, he tested sound, parking space layout, propping up

    the front end, and went so far as to use a sprinkler to imitate rainy conditions.

    Eighty-four years ago,

    on May 16, 1933 the

    first patent for a Drive-

    In theater was issued.

    A $30,000 investment

    allowed Richard Hol-

    lingshead to open his

    first drive-in theater on

    June 6, 1933 in Cam-

    den, N.J. It cost 25

    cents per car plus 25

    cents per person.

    Long Island holds the honor of having had the largest drive-in, the Johnny

    All-Weather Drive-In in Copaigue. It was opened in 1957 and was situat-

    ed on 28 acres. There was parking for 2,500 cars along with an indoor

    viewing area of 1,200 seats. While some of you might have been watching

    movies, smooching in the car or getting a snack at the full service restau-

    rant, children had a playground to burn off some energy. There was even

    a shuttle to take moviegoers to their car or concession.

    What drive-in theater did you frequent?

    In February of 1931, a 45B Standard Coupe rolled off the assembly line in Ford’s Edgewater Assembly Plant in New Jersey.

    It was one of the Model “A” Fords churned out every 48 seconds in that busy plant. This particular Coupe was a shiny

    Thorne Brown color with Straw pinstriping and black wheels. Its inerior was brown check wool, but otherwise the Coupe

    was unadorned. In 1962 and two years late, a 20 year old young man living on Long Island finally received his high school

    graduation present, that 1931 Coupe.

    It was in runnng condition back in 1962, but the Coupe looked sad with its overcoat of multi-coloerd primers, cracked fend-

    ers, dropping running boards and a shabby interior. Its motor had a knock, its brakes were atrocious and its hood flapped in

    the breeze. But nonetheless it was a joyfull day when the young man and his father drove the Coupe home from a used car

    lot on Staten Island. Unfortunately at the time, the young man’s driver’s license was suspended for racing his Studebaker on

    the then unopened Long Island Expressway.

    “It” became a special word when the young man began dating a pretty girl he met at the Polish Hall in Port Washington. She

    didn’t like the Coupe and she nicknamed it “It.” It was “It” or me she once said, but he has them both to this day. It was a

    long time doing, but after college, military duty, raising kids and working long enough to have some discretionary cash, “It”

    was reborn in 1980.

    The Coupe got its second life in a one-car garage in East Northport where it was taken completely apart, restored and given a

    shiny Maroon and black paint job. No longer a plain standard model, the Coupe has a rumble seat, cowl lights, racey red

    wheels, mohair upholstery and wood-grained trim. “It” was built to run, and run it has to Upstate New York, Vermont, New

    Hampshire, Maine, Massachussets, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Washington DC, Virginia,

    and Pennsylvannia. Since being rescued from Staten Island, the Coupe has been driven just about 50,000 miles, much of

    those miles zooming along the interstates.

    The Coupe is not so shiny anymore, and its motor is a bit noisey. “It” now has a fancy garage mate, a 190A Victoria Coupe.

    But my 45B Coupe, AKA “It” is very special to me and my wife Kathy. Because of “It,” Kathy and I have great Model “A”

    friends, 46 wonderful years in the Model A Ford Club of Long Island and fond memories of our three kids huddling in its

    rumble seat. In the Coupe’s next life, I hope one of my grandkids will take good care of it because “It” is a Bidonde family

    heirloom. Its been in the Bidonde family for 55 since being born in Edgewater 86 years ago.

    Last but not the least, I am grateful for the photo taken by Kathy’s brother Fred Healy in 1965, and for the photo taken at

    Gilgo Beach by Bruce Adams much later on.

    Members of the club took participated in a short parade in celebration of the grand opening of The Jazz Loft in

    Historic Stony Brook Village. The parade was led by Jazz Loft founder Tom Manuel and a troop of Dixie Land

    Jazz musicians. Vintage cars and of course, our fabulous Model A’s creating an era vibe.

    Marc & Randy Hillman, Sal & Marianne Miliotto, Norm Sandstrom, Janet Meckley & Sammy Vives, Bob & Lolly

    Segnini, took part in the festivities as did the Schoendorfs — including their son, John A for whom this was his

    first time driving one of the family’s Model A’s to an event. John A’s girlfriend rode shotgun.

    We were treated to admission, light refreshments and spent time listening to the Long Island University Big Band

    play a number of classic jazz pieces. The Ward Melville Heritage Organization thanked the Model A Ford Club

    for their participation in their successful grand opening event.
