Chariots of Fire Car Show, Morgantown, PA (Nov 20-2021)

We say goodbye for the year with the last outdoor car show at the Morgantown Auto Mall. Yes, there were about 185 crazy dedicated car lovers who braved 26-degree morning temperatures just to have the bragging rights to say they did it!

The club members who were winners are: John Pergine – Best in Class and Al DePue – Top 50. Candy & Chris Merlino were there, and decided it was better under their blankets. Congratulations to our winners!

The November show also collected food donations for Pastor Weed’s food bank, which benefits needy families in the community. John and Barb delivered about 400 pounds of potatoes, onions, and apples to the food bank that Friday. Thanks to everyone who brought a food item.

CCDV Members have Dinner at Giovanni’s Pizza, Warwick, PA (Nov 20, 2021)

We had a fun time again at our monthly dinner at Giovanni’s Pizza with 26 members in attendance. As always, we all shared stories and had lots of laughs all evening long. The restaurant was full, and we were glad our dinners took a bit longer to get to us so that we could share stories and enjoy each other’s company.

Afterwards some of us decided to have our dessert as ice cream, Again. We headed over to Uncle Mike’s on York Road. Having fun is what it’s all about.

Jefferson Fire Company 5th Annual Car Show, West Norriton, PA (Nov 6, 2021)

The Jefferson Fire Company Car Show started out as the coldest morning of the year at 35 degrees as everyone filed in to get their front row spots. Free coffee and donuts were provided in the morning inside the fire house. The lunch menu was great too. The Chinese auction had a 50” TV, $50 gift cards, outdoor fire pit and many more items. They also had lots of door prizes and gave away over 65 trophies which were donated by one of their sponsors, Black Horse Auto Body. There were approximately 285 cars, and we hope to have more club participation next year as we all enjoyed the show and hanging out with friends. Look forward to many more of these get togethers in 2022.

The club members who were winners are: Mark Ercolani for the earliest arrival and Top 50 for his Corvette, Kerry Duke – Top 50 for his ’52 Cherry Red Chevy, John Indelicato for Best Truck for his ’48 Green GMC, John Pergine and Pete Nikolopoulos – Top 50 for their Corvettes.

Boyertown Historic Auto Museum & Bel Air Diner (May 22, 2021)

Saturday, May 22^nd was Rosie the Riveter day at the Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles. Not only did we see cars, trucks, wagons, carriages and sleighs made across Pennsylvania, but we were able to watch as they commemorated the day by planting Rosie the Riveter rose bushes and listening to how important this former Boyertown Auto Works was in the war effort. Sixty-nine men were called to the war and their jobs were filled by their wives and other women. In 1939 the US Navy and Marine Corps chose this shop to design and produce front line ambulances and mobile machine shop repair units for the war. For their effort they received the “E” award for “outstanding production of war materials.” The picture below shows the women in one of those mobile repair shops. We saw cars made by Hines and learned the Pullman was built in York, taxis were made in Philly, the Fairmont Park Trolley was made in 1976 for the Bicentennial, that Duryea brought his cars from New England to Reading to test his cars on the road that now holds the Duryea Hill Climb.
