AACA
museum helps Tinseltown at holidays
The
holiday movie season will include some old cars, as the Antique Automobile Club
of America Museum
in Hershey, Pa.,
has supplied several vehicles to Universal Studio’s “The Good
Shepherd,” due out Dec. 22. The movie chronicles the birth
of the Central
Intelligence Agency from the 1930s to the 1950s.
The AACA museum supplied about 10 cars for the filming, and several of them will
be on display at the museum beginning
Dec. 22, including a 1936 Ford Cabriolet
convertible coupe, a 1936 Packard convertible sedan, a 1953 Kaiser Manhattan
and
a 1954 Chevy Wagon.

Thanks to our friends from The Wisconsin Region we have some great pictures
of the
AACA Museum
inside and outside. The Illinois Region, along
with all six Chapters, got together to donate to the
AACA Museum Brick Program.
The Illinois Region grouping of bricks include The Region brick
surrounded by
all six Chapter bricks. Click on the pictures to get a bigger view.

Here is a more recent picture of our Bricks taken by Pat Foltz with the latest
addition to the Illinois Region
group of Bricks. You too can have a Brick
located where you want it. Call the
AACA Museum
and
request to be placed by the Illinois Region group of Bricks.

For the past couple years The Illinois Region has made a contribution to the
AACA Museum
in
the form of a check. This was made possible by donations from Cross Roads
Chevrolet & Buick which the Illinois Region matched and presented at the
National Meetings in Philadelphia. This past year our President, Laura
McDonald, wanted to see if we could contribute in a different way. A call
was made to Patrick Foltz, Executive Director of the AACA Museum, and the
opportunity had just presented itself to frame some prints for the Museum.
They needed a Sponsor!
Arrangements were made, Laura gave one of her
memorable presentations at the National Meeting which had everyone rolling in
the aisles, and within a few months, as you can see, the prints are on the
wall!!

Pat Foltz has gone out of his way to help us with the Brick Program and more
recently has
given us the
opportunity to sponsor the Ken Dallison prints. Pat took a photograph of the
Prints in the Museum Board
Room and as you can see they will be a fine addition
to that room for years to come. Four of the thirteen
prints bear commemorative
plaques identifying the Illinois Region as the sponsor. We are the only
Region/Chapter to sponsor these awesome looking prints!! The other prints
are sponsored by Board
Members. Thanks again Pat!!
