PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Hello everyone,

We're now into the car tour season, along

with lots of other car activities. So, chase the

mice out of your air cleaner and the stink

bugs out of the interior, and go for a ride.

Also, there is only one more meeting before

our car show. It's time to make the final

preparations. Judges are still needed, so con-

tact Bob Cirilli if you can help.

See you soon.

Calling all Mustang Owners and Pony Enthusiasts

As part of Mustang’s 50th Anniversary celebration, the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix has named

Mustang their honored Marque of the Year for 2013. Jerry Longstreth, a member of the NHHAC, is Marque of the Year Coordinator for the PVGP. He’s been working closely with local Mustang Clubs, especially the Greater Pittsburgh Mustang Club, to ensure that this year’s PVGP is particularly memorable.

The goal is to have 500 Mustangs registered on the specially-reserved Marque of the Year show field. Ford Motor Company and your Neighborhood Ford Stores are on board as sponsors. The Mustang Club of America is lending its support. Several national & regional Mustang rallies are be-ing held in Pittsburgh to coincide with the PVGP. John Clor from Ford Racing will be a speaker in the Marque of the Year tent, along with a yet-to-be-named VIP from Ford.

PVGP Race Weekend is July 20-21 in Schenley Park. Show field parking is $30 for the entire week-end. The Starlite Car Cruise in Wexford will hold their annual Mustang Night on Friday, July 19

th, so

that Mustangers that come in from out of town on Friday will have an event to attend that evening.

Attention all Judges

This year’s car show will have some changes that we hope will make

the job of judging easier on us and the participants. I will be putting

on a judges school the week before the show, we will have an an-

nouncement as we get closer to the show date of June 2, 2013. Most

of you have judged for years and we welcome new first time judges

who I will train and assist. I would ask all judges to pick your class

early and I would appreciate it if only one person signed up for each

class so that we will be assured we have enough judges to cover the

event. As always I look forward to working with you to make our

show a success.

Bob Cirilli

From Fran and John Kaiser—

We would like to express our condolences to Jan Smith and his family in

regard to the passing of his mother. We would also like to thank everyone

for their prayers and good wishes for a speedy recovery. It’s working.

John is doing quite well and the support, I’m sure, helps a lot. Thank you to

everyone!!

THANK YOU

I wish to thank the North Hills Historic Car Club and its

members for the many get well cards and FAX’s I received

during my recent hospital stay.

You do not realize the encouragement that gives. I never

realized it until I was on the receiving end.

THANK you all very much.
