As the year gets closer to December, we all know that the
rain is on its way. This can be a depressing time of the year, for
some, since they put their Mustangs away until springtime. For
those of us who do not care, it is still a slow time for Mustang
events.
The events on the club’s calendar in the near future include
the November GHMC board meeting at Pizza Pirate in Benicia
sponsored by Bob Fentress on November 1st; A trip to Apple
Hill with the Sacramento Area Mustang Club on November 4th,
the Mixed Nutts game in Yountville also on November 4th; the
annual Veterans Day parade in downtown Fairfield on Novem-
ber 11th; the annual Golden Hills Mustang Club Toy Drive at
Walgreens in Fairfield on Saturday, November 24th and the No-
vember GHMC general meeting on November 27th at Stars Rec-
reation in Vacaville.
All of us, as members of the Golden Hills Mustang Club,
have been on quite an adventure and made many achievements
over the past year or so. More important than those achieve-
ments were the friendships that we have made while on this ad-
venture. A club as ours is a place to retreat from our daily
stresses and make new friendships and pull together to strive
toward common goals. We have had our ups and downs as any
group of people commonly experience, but as usual we always
get through them.
At the October general meeting, Chuck and Shannon Hodg-
ers were presented with the Golden Horse Award for going
above and beyond to help another club member when her car
blew a tire on a recent road trip. Please read the nomination
letter in the newsletter.
As a club we have been able to help many local organiza-
tions and facilities. Thanks for being there for other club
members and community members in need.
Ballots are due at the beginning of the November general
meeting. If you mail them to the club’s post office box, leave
enough time for the Postal Service to deliver them before No-
vember 22nd so they can be picked up before the meeting and
counted at the meeting. The post office box address is:
Golden Hills Mustang Club
P.O. Box 497
Fairfield, CA 94533
So make sure you have your ballots in our hot little hands by
the beginning of the November meeting so your vote can be
counted.
It is also important to remember the club’s many charitable
commitments, including food donations for several local food
banks, St Marks Lutheran and Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. In addi-
tion we send monthly packages of supplies, food and magazines
to our troops overseas. Please continue to bring food donations
and Pony Express Troop donations to our events and meetings.
Remember, get out there and enjoy our club events.
Be careful out there!

The third edition of the car show founded by Michael Taylor to
raise money for The American Cancer Society was hosted
again this year by the California Mustang Association (CMA)
and once again they rose to the occasion. Michael is the for-
mer manager of the Ford parts warehouse in Manteca which
once again provided the car show location. Last year’s record
of 89 cars was blown away two weeks before the show when
Pre-registration closed with 133 cars. This year the show was
limited to Ford vehicles only however one lone VW managed
to slip in. We sought out the support from all of the Northern
California Mustang Clubs and they came through big, we pro-
vided group parking and room to set an ez-up for each club.
On show day the Mustangs and Fords came rolling in one by
one until the parking lot was nearly filled with 157 cars in total.
This year East Bay Classics, the primary show sponsor had
their 48’ car hauler on display and StangStuff brought their 40’
trailer filled with Mustang Lifestyle products for sale. The
gang at CMA gathered what had to be the largest collection of
raffle prizes in the Western United States and there were three
different food venders providing very tasty selections. GHMC
had 14 cars there (some were also CMA members and didn’t
count for the club participation) including my 75 Mustang II
Mach 1 debuting after a complete interior restoration. Also
representing GHMC was Paige with her 65 Coupe, Greg with
his 67 Coupe, Dan McCabe with his 69 Fastback, Laura Mize
with her new 98 Saleen Convertible, Robert Fentress with his
2015 Fastback, Tony Laffranchi with his 2006 Saleen Con-
vertible, Mike Robinson with his 2014 Convertible, Tina Nies
with her 2007 GT/CS Convertible, Greg Nies with his 2008
GT/CS Coupe, Ken & Shauna Zaas with their 2015 GT Con-
vertible, and Mark & Sherri Pastor with their 2005 GT Con-
vertible, 2013 Boss 302, and 2016 Convertible. The club par-
ticipation award was taken by the San Jose Mustang Club with
a whopping 26 pre-registered cars. Donations are still trickling
in but so far, the total is a little over $10,000 raised for the
American Cancer Society. If you missed out this year register
early next year as the show will likely sell out all 175 parking
spaces, hope to see you there! By Robin Paulsell

On the morning of August 8th we were headed out on a Mus-
tang run to ride the Jet Boat in Gold Beach, Oregon. There were
2 groups going that day and our meeting place was Willits.
I was leading a group from Napa which ended up being just two
cars. I had never met the other couple, Chuck & Shannon
Hodgers. We were on our way from Napa through the beautiful
Alexander Valley heading for Highway 101 to join the other
group.
As we got on the ramp to Highway 101, going around 68
MPH driving got easier. I settled in my seat, took a deep breath
and was on my way. It was around 10:15 a.m. when all of a
sudden there was a loud thud and bang. I thought the front end
of my Corvette was coming off. I thought I had hit a pot hole,
however they were laying new blacktop and everything was
smooth. The light came on which said, “Front right tire flat.” I
pulled over instantly and Chuck was out of the car as fast as I
was. We could not believe the tear in my tire. We called for a
tow service but they told us three hours. Crap! We decided to
hobble into Cloverdale since the Corvette has “run flat” tires. In
the meantime, Chuck & Shannon were calling ahead for tire
service. We pulled into one tire place and a large man came
running out yelling, “We don't do Corvettes!” We just kept
going back onto the road and headed north to the next tire shop.
They greeted us with open arms, but they didn’t have the right
tire, so they called ahead to Les Schwab and called another tow
service, and again it was a 3 hour wait.
We decided to hobble at 40 MPH with both of our hazard
lights on, heading for Ukiah, stopping half way to check the
tire. We were holding back traffic as it was two lanes with no
passing. As we pulled off to check the tire and let traffic go,
directly behind Chuck was a CHP car pulling off with us. We
checked the tire and there was no way we could go any further.
The tire was hot, plus the tire was giving way from the rim. The
officer suggested that we have it towed to Ukiah. He was so
kind & called another tow truck for us. This time the wait was
only 45 min. The officer stayed with us talking very calmly,
and we found out he had only been on the force for a year.
We got to Les Schwab and they said it would be another 3
hours. Chuck explained our problem and where we have to be
by 6 p.m., but they said, “Sorry.” I must say that they were very
busy. In the meantime, one of the other tow companies returned
Chuck’s call. When Chuck explained our situation and the
length of time involved, the man said, “I know the manager, let
me call.” I don’t know what he said to the manager, but we
were out in about 1 1/2hrs. By this time it was 3:15 p.m., and
somehow we made it to the Samoa Cookhouse in time for din-
ner!
Chuck & Shannon did not know me but they stayed with me
the entire time and even brought me lunch. I really feel that
they deserve The Golden Horse Award for helping me, because
they went above and beyond to help another club member.

Sunday, October 7, 2018 was
the 8th annual Gordon Valley car
show. The proceeds benefited the
Gordon Valley Volunteer Fire
Department. Cheryl and I helped
organize the car show again this
year. There were 43 cars entered
in the show,
which filled up
the paved parking lot of the fire house.
The GHMC members who joined us at
the car show were Donnie McEachern,
Danny and Cristy Cordeiro, Bill Davis,
Jerry and Cyndy Lamphiear, Brian Ev-
ans, Bob and Kathy Loya, Yvonne West-
berg and Dan McCabe. In-
cluded with each entry was a
tri-tip sandwich and chips.
Beer, wine and sodas were
available for purchase. The
raffle included and variety of
different items and a few
members had
winning tickets.
There were two awards that attendees could
vote on, Shower’s Choice and Viewer’s
Choice. Brad Parsons of the Napa Valley
Cruisers won both awards with his 1932
Ford Phaeton.

On Saturday October 13, the city of Suisun held their Ses-
quicentennial Celebration. If you’re like me, and you’re the hon-
est type, you’ll admit that you had never heard of that word.
Well, numbers I kinda’ sorta’ understand, so I quickly picked up
from the event flyer that it was Suisun’s 150 year celebration!
Wow, 150 years…that means Suisun was recognized as a city in
1868, only three years after Lincoln fell asleep permanently in
the Ford Theatre.
Because we’ve had a long relationship with the City of Sui-
sun, after having our annual car show held there every May for
as long as I remember, we were contacted to ask if we would
like to participate in the Saturday morning parade down Main
Street which kicked off their day long celebration. A parade with
our Mustangs? Of course we said yes!
We had eight cars attend the parade. Besides myself with my
1968 convertible, we had Bill Davis in his 64 ½, Kirk Stafford in
his ’65, Dan McCabe in his ’69 Sportsroof, Jerry and Cyndy
Lamphiear in their ’69 Mach 1, Peter & Lisa Mitsopoulos in
their ’07 Shelby, Sue Calvert in her ’13 convertible, and Kristi
Simmons in her 2008 Shelby GT.
It was a pleasant, cool and crisp fall morning, and for the first
half of the parade route there were plenty of spectators to enjoy
the two dozen parade entries. Although there were a small num-
ber of other classic or vintage cars in the parade as single en-
trants, we were the only organized car club in attendance that
day. I guess the parade organizers figured once they had Ford
Mustangs, what other car clubs did they really need?
Afterwards, we all enjoyed a nice lunch at La Cabaña!
Thanks to all those above who came out for this parade! See you
all for the next parade in 2168! Although I would like for some-
one else to chair the parade…

Christmas for Seniors Sponsored by Mike & Tammy Robinette It's the time of year for giving, so Mike and I have decided to sponsor Cottage Oaks Assisted
Living and Rest Home. On December 17th, 2018 we will be hosting a Bingo Day. All resi-
dents that attend will receive a gift when they enter to play. There will also be prizes for each
person that wins a bingo. We will be providing desserts for them to enjoy while playing.
As many of these residents do not have visitors all year long we thought it would be a fun and
rewarding thing to do. We are asking that if any of our club members would like to donate any
items for prizes. (See list below) it would be truly appreciated.
Please bring items to our next General meeting November 27th or our Christmas Party Dec 8th
Lap Throws Blankets Non-Slip Slippers Note Cards Robes
Wheel Chair Pouch Stamps All Occasion Cards Boxed
Puzzles Costume Jewelry Lotion Lightweight Scarves
Thank you in advance, Tammy & Mike
On October 9th a baker’s dozen (13) GHMC members
braved the Fairfield Mall parking lot and took advantage of
a special showing of the iconic movie, Bullitt! The Brevigs,
the McCabes, the Barkmans, Jerry Lamphiear, Brian Evans,
Robin Paulsell, Brenda Romero, Frank Lopez, Pat Sivigliano &
Drew Schneider met at Fairfield’s Edwards Theater for the
7pm showing. We got our popcorn, then sat down and waited
for the movie to start. Before the movie we chatted while
we watched bonus material from the Ford Motor Company,
maker of McQueen’s highland green 1968 Mustang Fast-
back, powered by a 390/4V big-block engine, which included
memories from McQueen’s family and a “chase” scene with a
2019 Bullitt, driven by Steve McQueen’s granddaughter!
That alone was worth the ticket price, let alone the slide-
show of Bullitt Movie trivia.
Most of us had never seen Bullitt on the big screen and it
was a great experience that we all enjoyed! Several of us
had re-enacted the chase scene through the streets of San
Francisco back in 1994, so the big screen really bought back
memories of that day. Thanks to all who came out on a
Tuesday evening. By Dan & Norma McCabe

Once again the Golden
Hills Mustang Club had
the honor and privilege to
help provide noon meal for
the North Bay Stand Down
on the first day of the en-
campment. I would like to
thank the members of the
club that found the time to
help cook and serve the
meal. They Veterans and Volunteers dined on Tri Tip
steak, baked beans, potatoes chips and a variety of
cookies. This year we had over 127 homeless and at
risk Veterans that attended the Stand Down. They
were able to receive medical, dental, optical and social
services in an effort to give them a hand up and out of
their current situation.
One of the best examples as to the success of the
Stand Downs was our Tent Leader. Mike was out of
work and homeless 10 years ago. He attended our
Stand Down and was able to get a
place to live and gainful employ-
ment. He was able to move out of
California and purchase a home.
However, ever year he returns
and volunteers as our person in
charge of our tent leaders.

The Sacramento International Auto Show at Cal Expo
is a great place to see what the Auto Industry has to offer
to the public each year. Each manufacturer has an area to
display and talk about their vehicles, pick up brochures
and other information. There are “Ride & Drives” for
you to experience what a brand new car or truck feels
like. They even set up a “Kids’ Zone” that our grandchil-
dren took full advantage of.
One of the best things this show does is they help to raise
a lot of money for local charities including Shriners Hos-
pitals for Children. To quote the SacAutoshow website:
“The Auto Show growth in size and attendance in 2013
led to an historical day in February when the Greater
Sacramento New Car Dealers Association funded a one
million dollar ten-year endowment for Shriners Hospitals
for Children Northern California Pediatric Regenerative
Research. Never before had a donation of this size and
duration been made by the Association – a direct result of
Auto Show proceeds.” The Golden Hills Mustang Club is very fortunate to
have been invited to display some of our Classic Mus-
tangs along with the Sacramento Classic Thunderbird
Club in the Ford Building. 10 years ago, Stacey Castle
from Castle Communi-
cations found our web-
site and liked the Mus-
tangs that our members
own and asked if we
would like to display
them with new Fords
and Lincolns. She didn’t
have to ask twice! We
get an area in Building C
to display our cars and set up an information booth to let
people know about our Club and talk to people about
Mustangs- old and new! We arrive together on a Thurs-
day afternoon and take the cars out on Sunday @ 6 pm.
They are safe and secure inside the building all during our
stay. Our Mustangs are roped off, but we do escort people
into our booth to get an “up-close-and-personal” look.
Many times we have invited the little ones to sit in the
Mustang Jr. (Thanks Danny & Cristy) and the pedal cars
for a photo. We have had people come back each year just
to do that as their kids get bigger. Some have even told
me that they have used that picture I took for their Christ-
mas card.

Participating this year were: Chris & Melinda Bark-
man (‘68 GT Fastback), Gary & Susan Cotton (‘64 ½
Convertible), Danny & Cristy Cordeiro (Mustang Jr.),
Bill & Judy Davis (‘64 ½ Coupe) Brian & Tammy Evans
(‘68 Shelby GT 500 KR Convertible), Dan & Norma
McCabe (‘69 Sportsroof), Ron & Liz Normandin (‘68
GTCS Coupe), Robin Paulsell & Brenda Romero (‘75
Mach I), and Pat Sivigliano (‘65 GT Fastback). Pat’s car
was shown by her grandson Drew Schneider and Frank
Lopez. Thank You to all who helped to make this show so
successful. It is very rewarding knowing that we sup-
ported a wonderful organization like the Shriners.

On Sunday, October 28, 2018 was Ron DuPratt Ford’s
annual Trunk-n-Treat Halloween Mustang and Vintage
Ford display. This year’s event was at the dealership at
1320 North First Street in Dixon. This is the original
dealership where the service department is located. In
addition to the car display, there was a costume con-
test, candy for the kids and awards for best Mustang,
best vintage, best costume and Best of Show. Tony and
Roxie won best costume, dressed as W. C. Fields and
Mae West. Roxie won Best vintage for her 1928 Ford
Model A. Lunch was be served which will included ham-
burgers, hotdogs, hot links, chips, cookies, water and
sodas. The new General Manager for Ron DuPratt Ford,
Barry Johnson, did the barbequing for the event. Ron
DuPratt Ford has been our club sponsor for over 12
years and they put on this event for local Mustang clubs
and the public. The members who brought their cars
out on this beautiful fall day were Terry Burke, Tony
McGrath and Roxie Chiurco, Lisa and Peter Mitsopoulos,
David and Riku York, Sue Calvert, Lisa and John Rose,
Mike and Anthony Robinson, Tammy and Joe Holecek,
Bill Stephenson and Cheryl and Kirk Stafford. Bill Ste-
phenson had a great raffle and everyone who entered a
car won at least one raffle prize. Thanks to Bill Ste-
phenson and Ron DuPratt Ford for a great event and
good fun. By Kirk Stafford

The story started in March of 1992 when Pat and
Frank bought Pat’s brother’s beautiful black 1968
Mustang fastback, which Frank quickly claimed as
his own. The Mustang was thoroughly enjoyed and
driven by both of us.
In 1994 we discovered and joined the Golden Hills
Mustang Club. The first event we attended was
the Bullitt Run which traced the route of the fa-
mous car chase in the movie. Vintage Mustangs
from all over the Bay Area gathered at the Presi-
dio in San Francisco to begin the run. This fun
and historical event cemented our relationship
with GHMC.
While attending further GHMC events, we became
enamored of a fellow member’s car: Howard Brin-
ing’s 1965 Tahoe Turquoise Fastback. At each car
display and car show it drew our attention. How-
ard had acquired it in 1994 from Scott Burchardt
in Alabama. The car arrived at Howard’s house in
California on April 1, 1994, where he took posses-
sion. He quickly changed out the Oklahoma ZA-O
license plate for the California 6T5FB plate. (I
don’t know why it had an Oklahoma license plate.)
According to the receipts and records on the car,
in 1996 Howard did a GT conversion on the mus-
tang spending a total of $1,430.21.
Fast forward to December 25, 1999. We had our
usual family Christmas gathering, dinner and gift
exchange with our kids. After everyone had
opened their gifts, it was noticed that there had
not been a gift under the tree from Frank to me.
Where upon Frank said, “I have your gift outside.”
Thinking it was a lawnmower, or maybe a rake, I
sarcastically said, “What is it, a car?”
Upon opening the front door, there sat Howard
Brining’s 1965 fastback with a huge bow on top
that matched the color of the car! I wish I had a
picture of the expression on my face.

FROM THE MCA This month’s update will be a lengthy one since we had three
National meetings and an election. First, I want to thank every-
one that voted for me, I was elected to the MCA Board as a Na-
tional Director. Steve Prewitt was Elected President, Jim Keenan
Vice President, Lynda Blackstock Treasurer, and Laurie Slawson
Secretary. They along with Past President Jeff Mays will make
up the Executive Committee, Chris Ponder and Billy Henson are
also new incoming National Directors and this years VP Tim
Hahn was elected as a National Director. So, what does this
mean for GHMC? No, I don’t get two votes because I’m also a
Regional Director! It means the club is looking for a new Re-
gional Director for next year. Although I can still keep you all
updated on what’s going on in the MCA, my new duties as a
National Director are going to keep me very busy and keep me
away from quite a few meetings. What is required to be the
club’s Regional Director? First off you must have a Standard
MCA membership and the Club will pay for that. It’s not re-
quired to attend all 4 of the MCA National Board meetings but it
would be nice if you could. The 4th quarter meeting and the Re-
gional Directors Summit are a must attend meeting in my opinion
and have been very beneficial to me in networking with other
Regional Directors. If you want to find out more about becom-
ing a Regional Director contact me or any of the GHMC board.
The hottest topic at this year’s Regional Directors Summit was
once again membership! How can the MCA and Regional clubs
attract younger Mustang owners? Although the MCA does not
currently track members age, it’s no secret the average is well
over 55 years old. How are clubs like STMC and NMCC from
Texas and OMC from Oklahoma with over 50% of their mem-
bers under the age of 40 attracting today’s youth. They are doing
so by having multiple events each weekend that allow members
to choose and most of these events are cruises. Setting up feather
flags instead of bulky banners and folding tables for membership
booths at every cruise-in, they have also lowered their member-
ship fees making it more affordable for younger members. The
other hot topic was the election, this year we received 868 votes
and although it’s 50% more than last year it’s still less than 10%
of the voting membership. With 190 clubs that’s about 2.5 votes
per club and that’s just sad! Digital members that receive their
ballots by email returned 25% of them, National and Regional
Directors have been able to vote for MCA officers by email for
the last 2 years and we got a 75% return rate this year. The MCA
is working on secure online voting for next year in the hopes of
increasing participation.
Now for the Board Meeting, Bob Winland from the Music
City Mustang Club had a power point presentation on this year’s
MCA National Shows with all kinds of great charts. The largest
and fastest growing class continues to be the Occasional Driven
(OD) Class with over 30% of the cars followed by the Modified
Class at 12%. Although the 2005-2014 models are the single
most popular generation at 35%, the classic 64-73 cars are hold-
ing their own at 31%. The Board voted out the OD Trailered
classes (those cars will be absorbed into the regular classes) and
added a Specialty Class for the 2012-2013 Boss 302, in addition
a new Modified Extreme class was created. There are over 800
Certified MCA Judges but many have not judged for a long time,
The Board voted in new requirements for judges to judge in at
least one National every 3 years or their certification will be
dropped. The Board also decided to begin tracking some mem-
bership demographics in the hopes of improving and expanding
member benefits.

MUSTANG TRIVIAL PURSUIT GAME Bob Fentress stumped the audience with his October Question.
What convenience feature was introduced on many Ford models in the 1965 model year, but did not appear on the
Mustang until 1967? It still exists on the Mustang, but is rarely if ever used in the latest generation models.
The answer was: The double sided key
Bob’s Question for November is :
What TWO names did Mercury use for cars that were
Mustangs with slightly different trim?
Watch for the next question in the December issue of Pony Tales
