Join Our 15th Annual Car Show & Cruise Night
WHAT: The 15th ANNIVERSARY CAR SHOW
AND CRUISE NIGHT
WHEN: Saturday, July 18, 2009
WHERE: Fox Valley Technical School Campus,
1825 North Bluemound Drive, Appleton
TIME: Car Show 3:00-7:30 p.m.
Cruise will follow immediately
This is the FIFTEENTH ANNIVERSARY of the CAR SHOW
AND CRUISE NIGHT that preceeds the annual Appleton Old Car
Show and Swap Meet at Pierce Park. This year’s WVBO Car Show
will be held on the FOX VALLEY TECHNICAL SCHOOL campus,
at 1825 North Bluemound Drive, in Appleton, from 3:00 until
7:30pm. As is the case at Pierce Park on Sunday, there is NO
ADMISSION CHARGE for either show vehicles or spectators.
Classic, antique, and special interest cars and trucks of all vintages
are welcome on Saturday night, with commemorative dash plaques
to the first 250 vehicles.
Bluemound is located just east of the Highway 41 and Northland
Avenue (Highway 15) interchange. From Highway 41, go east one
block and turn right (south) at the first stoplight. There will be car
show personnel to direct you to the show car or spectator parking
area. Once show cars are parked, owners may go to the registration
table to receive dash plaques.
There will be a variety of foods and beverages available for purchase
during the event, with proceeds going to various school
organizations, and restroom facilities will be available on site. Plus,
the event will be part of a LIVE radio broadcast on 103.9/ WVBO,
with the station staff on hand throughout the show.
The “Cruise” portion of the evening will be an informal event
starting on Badger Avenue, and turning east on College Avenue,
through downtown. Our plan is to start on Badger, in front of
Wilson Middle School. Announcements will be made during the
Car Show for departure from the Technical College to begin lining
up on Badger Avenue.
During the “cruise”, please remember ALL vehicles MUST
obey normal traffic laws (speed limits, traffic signals, turn lanes,
etc.)
WVBO is owned and operated locally by Cumulus
Broadcasting. Our state-of-the-art studios are located just south of
Appleton on Highway 41 in Oshkosh. WVBO’s “Oldies” format
serves Appleton, the Fox Cities, Oshkosh and the Lake Winnebago
area, and is the number one classic top-40 station in northeast
Wisconsin and the Valley.
Other stations owned by Cumulus Broadcasting are 99.5 / “The
Wolf,” playing contemporary Country music, 96.9 / “The Fox,”
playing New Rock, and AM stations 1280/WNAM (“Music Of
Your Life”) and News/Talk 1490 / WOSH.
WVBO is the Valley’s BEST Oldies of the 60s and 70s
103.9/WVBO is the perfect “cruising” station for the classic car enthusiast! We play the Valley’s Best Oldies 24 hours a day. Everything from
the Beatles and the Rolling Stones to surfin’ classics, and from Roy Orbison and Johnny Rivers to the Eagles and Chicago!
Start your day with Rich Allen in the Morning – a winning combination of great music and a long-time Valley radio personality! Plus, we
keep you up to the minute on news and sports with Jonathan Krause. Meteorologist George Graphos (from WBAY TV2) provides the
weather, with the Valley forecast every 10 minutes in the morning.
Mid-days join Steve Edwards with the daily “Top 5 at 10” and the “All Request Lunch Express” at noon. Jim Franklin helps you with the
ride home every afternoon. And, if you are looking for fun in the evening, tune in to Classic Top-40 with Marty Thompson — from 7 until
midnight.
Keep the oldies cranked all day:
at work or play with 103.9/WVBO!

Appleton Old Car Show & Swap Meet
GENERAL CAR SHOW INFORMATION
QUALIFY: The show is open to Collector Cars and Trucks that are 1980 and older.
General Information
ADMISSION: The car show and all activities on the grounds are FREE to Old Car enthusiasts and spectators, including youth activities.
OLD CAR REGISTRATION: There are no registration fees and each old car registered will receive the following:
• 32nd Annual Meet Dash Plaque - First 1000 entrants
• Trophies - Opportunity to win one of over 35 trophies based on popularity vote in each class.
• Registration for FREE Miller Welder by raffle for car show owner participants -
Winner must be present at time of drawing to win.
Registration for show cars and their participants is held at the stage of the pavilion on the east side. This is an excellent location to
secure directions or emergency assistance.
CAR SHOW HOURS: Cars may enter the show field no earlier than 8:00 a.m. and will not be allowed into show after 2:00 p.m. The official
and basically only acceptable entrance to the car show is located on the southwest corner of the intersection of Prospect and Pierce
Streets. Please look for signs and follow the directions of show staff.
GROUNDS RULES: Due to the heavy concentration and close proximity of the show cars in the park, strict fire regulation will be enforced. NO
OPEN FIRES, grills, or cooking fires will be permitted in the park the day of the car show. The show sponsors wish to encourage a minimum
amount of car movement in the show area and that movement should be made at a safe and respectable pace as not to hazard participants
or spectators. Flame throwing, burnouts and spinning of tires in park are strictly forbidden.
FOOD ON GROUNDS: A very tasty, well-prepared and reasonably-priced array of food is prepared on the grounds by the Appleton Fox
Cities Kiwanis as their major fundraiser for 2009. The food stand is located on the west side of the pavilion, and there are additional
food and beverage stands located throughout the park.
SWAP MEET & CAR CORRAL: A very popular and well-attended area has been designed within the park for a Swap Area and Car Corral.
Reservations for Swap spaces and Car Corral are available on another page in this book. The Car Corral is a designated area where
cars for sale are parked in a reserved paid-for space. Please note that NO FOR SALE SIGNS are allowed on cars parked in the car
show display areas. Cars with For Sale signs will be asked to remove them and/or remove their car from the show.
The Swap and Car Corral are located on the northwest side of the park. Use park map for directions.
The entrance to the Swap Meet and Car Corral for vendors is the entrance to Piece Park from Prospect on the North side of the park.
Swap vendors will use the right lane and circle down through the lower parking lot then stop, check registration and be guided to their
stalls. Vehicles entering the Car Corral will use the same north entrance off Prospect, but use the left lane through the entrance, stop for
registration, then proceed by direction to the Car Corral.
FIRST AID & EMERGENCIES: A first aid station has been established on the south end of the pavilion for any emergency. Police are available
on the grounds during the car show. For best information or for an emergency, head for the registration stand in the pavilion.
HANDICAPPED PARKING: A handicap parking area has been designed just inside and on the west side of the Prospect Street entrance to
Pierce Park.
RESTROOM & TOILET FACILITIES: A restroom is located just off of the pavilion on its Northwest corner. There are also port-a-potties located
throughout the grounds.
INVITED CLASSICS: The Appleton Old Car Show has invited a select group of Classics and Old Cars to participate in The GREAT MOTOR-
ING MEMORIES display. This tented and roped-off area, east of the pavilion, presents some of the area’s classic automobiles and outstanding
examples of unique and one-of-a-kind vehicles that have achieved prominence in automobile history. Preference is given to
brass-era antique and classic cars. In past years, many of the cars featured have received the prestigious honor of having been judged
national winners in concours competition. The public is invited to view these selected old cars. When enjoying any of the hundreds of cars
on display please respect the value of these cars to their owners.
TRADEMARK: The Appleton 2009 symbol is a trademark of the Appleton Old Car Club. Reproduction in any form, on any item, is restricted

CAR
OF THE
FUTURE
Win a $50 gift certificate from Rock Auto by guessing
the year and month this article was printed. Fill out the
form at the registration area, and drop it into the box.
Submissions end at 1 pm. Drawing at 3:30pm - MUST
BE PRESENT TO WIN. For ties, names will go into a
hat for a drawing.
What the automobile will look like 10 or 15 years
hence isn’t “just anybody’s guess,” as the public
sometimes is led to believe. Almost every
designer responsible for the shape of tomorrow’s car has a
fairly definite idea of what its appearance will be. That is
true because he already is working on his plans for future
cars. And the intervening models between now and then
undoubtedly will incorporate certain changes that will
accomplish the ultimate design. There is unlikely to be any
sudden or sharp alteration of line.
What we, in the styling department of this automotive
styling showroom have in mind is automotive design that
expresses motion, even when the vehicle is at a standstill,
with lines suggesting eagerness of the machine to travel
fast and far. That is the basic thought behind the car
appearing in the illustration. This particular design would
have a special appeal for the sportsman, the youthful
mined, the fresh air enthusiast, each representing a segment
of tomorrow’s “rocket age” population because it invites
the individual to get behind the wheel and head for the
broad, high-speed highways for which construction plans
are already drawn. True, this car a semi-convertible with a
hard, sliding top includes many features that might be considered
deluxe, therefore not intended for mass-manufactured
cars. But it represents a trend toward the type of automobile
that will replace the four or two door sedan.
Noticeable in the
drawing is the “car in
motion” design of the
front, a triple
“Torpedo” effect. The
ends of the front fenders are torpedo-shaped, similar to the
engine housing, with the headlamps recessed to prevent
damage. Air intakes are provided, for cooling both power
plant and the car’s interior, atop each of the three air foilshaped
structures. Rear portions of the fenders or shall we
call them wheel guards, blend gradually into the body
lines. The whole design is intended to get away from bulbiferous
styling which hides wheels and every other subtle
body line under unrelieved curved sheets of metal. Several
makes of cars now on the market apparently are products
of what I regard as the “jelly mold school of design.”
Tomorrow’s car may or may not incorporate ideas that
are receiving much attention today. For example, it seems

CAR OF THE FUTURE Continued from Page 8
to me that plastic tops are impractical, so far as the foreseeable
future is concerned. Two personal cars fitted with
plastic tops have provided the basis for my conclusions: the
first top was a clear plastic which transmitted the sun’s heat
to an uncomfortable degree and the second, a tinted plastic,
cast an unpleasant light interiorly. However, a development
by the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company is being tested by
several companies. It is known as Golded Glass, and may
prove to be the solution.
Then there is the matter of whether the engine should be
in the rear or retained in its present location. Placement of
the power plant is not my problem except that we must
design the automobile around the engine wherever it is
placed. Actually the advantages for either front or rear
placement are not conspicuously grouped on either side of
the argument that has been waged for a number of years.
The automobile probably will retain forward engines for as
long as the public prefers them there. Some manufacturer
may find the answer by offering a rear engine model in the
near future. But it may cost him a lot of money if the buyers
refuse to accept it. Gas turbine power plants for the private
vehicle do not seem likely to come anytime soon,
although there are a few turbines undergoing tests for that
purpose. Our thinking is that the trend is toward a more
efficient gasoline engine, simple, compact and economical
instead of replacement by any other type of plant.
Another point of controversy is lighting. There seems to
be no doubt about polarized light being desirable because a
headlamp system of that type would produce much brighter
and more efficient illumination than the present system.
The problem has been the matter of converting, economically,
to polarized lights. The driver of a car not equipped
with a special visor to reduce the glare from the brighter
polarized lights would be almost blinded. However, the
answer may lie in a patent issued recently to David Grey
and assigned to Polaroid Corporation. Under this patent,
the standard headlamps would be left intact and an auxiliary
unit, which polarized light, added. This unit would be
mounted on the bumper or crossbar. Used only while meeting
another car, the auxiliary lamp would be switched on
and the regular headlights switched off, by the driver of the
car so equipped. The switch control is a polarized visor
which the driver would swing before his eyes when another
car approached either with or without the auxiliary unit.
The visor is intended to reduce glare for the driver of the
polarized system car about 50%. If both cars had the equipment,
the unit lamps would appear as mere pinpoints of
light, yet illumination would be adequate for both.
Returning the visor to normal open road position, upward
against the top of the car, and would switch off the auxiliary
lamp and run on the regular headlamps. This system offers
an inexpensive means of converting from the present system
to the new. The unit and visor are not yet on the market,
but may be expected within a reasonable time period.
As the illustration shows, our car
of the future would accommodate
three persons forward and two in the
rear. This makes for a more streamlined
shape, as well as takes recognition of the fact that the
rear seat of most automobiles gets used very little. The rear
seats would be comfortable, wide and of the adjustable, airplane-type.
Instrument panel controls would be recessed, as
illustrated, for safety’s sake, with a definite effort to avoid
“juke box” treatment that tends to over-ornamentation.
One usual point about this car is the absence of the
bumper as such. At the front, the conventional bumper has
“grown” into the design, with bumper stock being
employed to protect the ends of both fenders and the
engine housing. This treatment simplifies the design and
can be done without increasing the weight of the vehicle.

CAR OF THE FUTURE Continued from Page 9
Similar protection of the rear end can be achieved through
use of metal shielding plates.
Wheelbase is frequently a point for argument. It seems
to us that wheelbase need not be shortened to obtain a
length that makes for easy parking and maneuverability.
Instead, the change would be in the body structure to
achieve less overhang on the wheelbase best suited to the
design. Improved springing will come hand-in-hand with
this change. As for center of gravity and height above the
road, the more compact the car the lower it can be designed
up to the point where further reduction of road clearance
would introduce hazards from objects six or more inches
above the road surface. Chrome areas of tomorrow’s car
will be reduced, but probably never will be eliminated
entirely. Nor is this absolutely desirable in all instances,
since time and time again the public has proved that it
wants chromium. If it isn’t on the car, buyers will add
chrome in the form of accessories and extra gadgets of
poor design. So it is better for the designer to handle the
chrome himself and do it well. He can reduce the number
of meshes, opening, lacework patterns, rods, cross hatches,
grilles and bars. Chrome will be used in simpler, plainer
masses, not over styled with gingerbread or, in designer’s
language, “Schmaltz”.
Hoods and window sills will be lower, a design method
in the direction of lightness and improved visibility. On
some cars today, the hoods are so high many drivers cannot
see the road for some distance in front of the car. Even
greater areas of glass can be produced in compound curves
and unusual shapes to help the designer produce almost
any kind of styling desired. One special glass, through
which an electric current may be passed without the use of
wires, makes possible a windshield on which ice and snow
10
cannot collect.
One feature that seems to be in the picture is an
improved form of braking. This may be the disc type, one
version of which is being used successfully on an expensive
car. At present its cost is prohibitive for the car in the
popular price class, but the increased safety offered, and
mass production methods may reduce manufacturing prices
to the point where more owners may enjoy its advantages.
Some of the new devices or necessary improvements in
existing equipment that appear to be in the cards are, in our
opinion: (1) Inexpensive air conditioning: some manufacturers
in the refrigeration field are already working on this
problem. (2) Hydraulic or electrical systems could be
reduced in cost and simplified in design to provide reliable
means of raising or lowering windows, to move seats forward
or backward. (3) A car door might be equipped with a
booster which would pull the door halfway closed so that a
passenger could reach the inside handle easily to pull it
closed without leaning far out of the car. (4) Sliding doors
may come eventually and these may be electrically or
hydraulically controlled, at least in the more expensive
automobiles. (5) More simplified gadgets, and possibly a
reduction in the number because there probably are too
many at present. This would tend to halt a trend toward
larger, more powerful batteries.
Door openings eventually may extend height into the
roof for easier access and egress. Here the big problem is
the seal. Until the door gap can be made waterproof, especially
at the top, such doors are not practical. Another
point is that if water collects and then freezes, the door of
larger area would be difficult, or impossible to open. But
here also, the problem undoubtedly will be solved…with
cars of the future. ❖

Thirty-Second Annual
Old Car Show and Swap Meet
Although the Appleton Old Car Show and
Swap Meet is 32 years old, the idea was actually
conceived 33 years ago when three old
car enthusiasts were frustrated with too many poorly
run car shows. Jim Buchman, Pete Lamensky, and
Jerry Treleven were all friends and car collectors who
spent their summer weekends traveling to car shows
throughout the Midwest. One day they attended the
worst of the worst car shows. The next day, this
prompted one to say — “I’ll bet we could do better.
Why don’t we have our own show”. The idea lay dormant
for a while but from time to time would resurface
when thoughts of some of their bad experiences
at shows came to mind. A fourth friend and old car
enthusiast, Bob Pintarelli, was asked if he would like
to be involved in the show and swap meet. In
February 1978,
the decision was
made to go for it.
The foursome became the founders and sole members
of the Organizing Committee for the First
Annual Appleton Auto Show and Swap Meet. Their
goal was simple — Strive for excellence. Organize
the best possible show, pick the best possible location,
and create a fun and enjoyable event for the
community and old car enthusiasts. The show was an
extension of their love for old cars and a desire to
give something of value back to the community.
The founders took an in-depth look at the car
shows they enjoyed attending and made a list of the

History

HISTORY Continued from Page 20
things they liked most about these shows. They also
asked fellow old-car enthusiasts what they liked most
and least about car shows.
Based on this analysis and feedback, a blueprint
was developed for the show. Over and over again,
show location would be at the top of everyone’s list
of important criteria for a successful show. After
careful study and deliberation, Appleton’s historic
and majestic Pierce Park was chosen. With its beautiful
shade trees, grassy infield area, and centrally
located Pavilion, the park was the perfect setting for
an old car show. The park has proven to be the show’s
most valuable asset. The show’s founders saw the
event as an opportunity for old-car
enthusiasts to gather for a day of camaraderie and
sharing of a common interest in the automobile. They
envisioned the show as a family oriented community
event reminiscent of the community events of years
past where families gathered at the city’s central park
for a day of fun, relaxation, socializing, and enjoyment.
And best of all, it was decided that the show
should be free.
Free to spectators and free to the car collector who
so generously brought their cars to the show.
It was also decided that any profits generated by
the show should be donated back to the community
to support various community organizations and
charities.
Show organizers sought out a community minded
sponsor for the show, and after much consideration,
approached the Appleton Area Jaycees and asked if
they would be interested in sponsoring the event.
Fortunately, the President of the Appleton Area
Jaycees, Ralph Hayden, was also an old-car enthusiast,
and the answer was yes. The Jaycees sold concessions
at the show and after paying expenses, used the
profits to support various civic activities such as their
annual Christmas shopping trip for less fortunate
children.
The first show was an overwhelming success,
attracting 316 collector cars and 16 vendors of old car

parts. Phenomenal growth followed, and by the fifth
year, over 1,000 collector cars attended the increasingly
popular event. With limited space available to
exhibit the many fine collector cars, the decision was
made to limit show cars to 1970 and older. This limitation
was instituted to restrict growth as the show
cars on display soon reached over 1500 cars and
completely filled every square foot of the park.
Currently, the year limit is 1980 and older with the
show attracting between 1,000 and 1,400 cars annually,
depending on the weather.
The total budget for the first show was $520.00.
Swap meet spaces cost $6.00 and were considered a bargain.
Many of the original vendors still participate in the
show after 30 years. There were six trophy classes in
1979 compared to the current 32 classes.
In the early years, it was a show-car tradition to
present car entrants with a “goodie bag” filled with a
collection of promotional items collected from local
businesses that included everything from books of
matches, can openers, pens, and pencils to samples of

products. In the early years, the show underwent phenomenal
growth and soon the number of goodie bags
being assembled was close to 1,000. Bags were
delivered to the park by the truckload. As it became
increasingly difficult to procure enough donations to
fill over 1,000 goodie bags, the tradition was discontinued.
Over the years, the show has featured a variety of
collector cars. Feature cars include: Convertibles,
Cadillacs, Ford, Chevrolet, Thunderbird, Trucks,
Classics, Pontiac, Buick, Street Rods, Mopar, Rear
Engine Cars, Corvette, Woodies and Station Wagons,
Mercury, Ford Model A.
Maintaining a family atmosphere has always been
a show priority. Activities added over the years
include such things as Valve-Cover Races, a
Children’s Show, and Children’s I.D. Photos. Valvecover
races are a popular and fun event as competitors
of all ages build racers that essentially are automotive
valve covers with wheels. These valve cover

racers are raced side by side down an inclined track
under gravity power.
As the show grew in popularity, it became a weekend
event as show cars started to arrive as early as
Friday for the show and Appleton soon looked as if
time had stopped as the streets were filled with cars
from a bygone era. Collector cars started to gather at
J.D.’s Drive-In Restaurant on the Saturday night
before the show for a malt and burger. Soon, word
got around, and this informal gathering grew into a
very popular event as 250 to 400 cars gathered
around J.D.’s for a night of oldies music, malts, burgers,
and car hops on roller skates. The success and
popularity of the event soon was its demise as the
event outgrew the residential neighborhood and
available parking space. Another tradition soon
replaced the nostalgic visit to J.D.’s. The next year
was the birth of Cumulus Broadcasting’s Car Show
and Cruise. Over 400 collector cars gathered for a
show and cruise.
The highlight of the evening is when the cars are
led on a cruise of Appleton’s College Avenue —
which is famous for its weekend cruising, dating all
the way back to the Forties. This event is now a popular
spectator event.
In 1982, the Appleton Fox Cities Kiwanis became
the show’s sponsor. Over the years, the Appleton Fox
Cities Kiwanis have donated profits from food and
beverage sales to local charities and supported numerous
community organizations. ❖
