Regional Report Buckeye Region IT HAS BEEN A LONG, COLD and snowy winter here in Ohio. Thank goodness, spring has now arrived. On April 2, the Buckeye Region held a meeting at Hardin Motors in Mt. Victory, Ohio. Member Jerry Burrey is hosting the 9th Annual All Mopar show on June 18. The historical society is holding a pre-1950 car show in downtown Marion, Ohio, on June 25. At this event last year our Buckeye Region was founded with five members. Since then we have grown to 20 members and hope to have 30 members by fall. The Buckeye Region has also received a special invitation to participate in one of the premier events for BUCKEYE REGION Ron Thomann 8001 Schott Rd.

Our host is setting aside a special area for the Buckeye Region and other Mopar owners. Our host opens his 11acre grounds annually for this special event. Last year 405 vehicles were on display. Our host has a fleet of his own, but does own one very special 1949 Plymouth four-door sedan. With our host’s permission, we hope to have a separate article in the PLYMOUTH BULLETIN so everyone can see why his car is so special. Our Region is still in the process of establishing a website. More news will be forthcoming when we complete this project.

car or cars. They can also help in the financing of classic cars. This is a great place to have a meeting and we usually have one or two of our meetings there each year. John Jancic’s Best of Show ‘70 Road Runner THE CHARLOTTE AUTOFAIR, held April 13-17, is the largest old car event in the Southeast. Our club had a great location for the car show on Saturday and Sunday. The weather was good both days with late evening storms that did not affect the show and a little coolness for Sunday. John Jancic won the Best of Show again this year with his beautiful 1970 Road Runner. KEEP THOSE OLD PLYMOUTHS running and on the road. – Dean Yates Cascade Pacific Region OUR MARCH MEETING was called to order by vice-president Robin Will with 46 members in attendance. Pat and Patty Brost provided refreshments. Topics for discussion included our 2011 CPPC calendar, our April Mayflower tour to an artist’s studio, the 2011 Portland Swap Meet, a tour to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm, group travel to the 2011 National Summer meet in California, our club website and a POC membership report by Tom Nachand. In the Tech Committee report, Gary Rusher announced that he thinks he has tracked down the rattle in the motor of his ‘30U. The culprit is apparently the clutch and pressure plate which are out of balance due to a previous rebuild. Gary also mentioned that an index he has compiled of all ‘28-39 Plymouth headlights will soon be available on our CPPC website. Following other announcements and our raffle draws, the meeting was adjourned. – Donna Bade Dairyland Region Member Remembered Nancy Aylesworth THE DAIRYLAND REGION has the sad duty to announce the passing of one of our founding members, Nancy Aylesworth. Brad and Nancy Aylesworth were instrumental in forming the club in the early 1990s leading to its charter in 1995. Nancy was, without a doubt, one of the most welcoming and friendly people in a club that is full of such people. Always making sure the members (especially new ones) were comfortable and engaged in conversation, she was continually looking for ways to help out or do whatever she could to make the club a success. As a past secretary, she was club officer when needed and a supporter all the time. Nancy is sorely missed. When health problems made a decision to leave Dairyland necessary, the loss of her presence was tangible. All the members of Dairyland who knew Nancy mourn her loss. – Jeff Tarwood Delaware Valley Region OUR MARCH MEETING was opened with 13 members and one guest in attendance. Club business focused on our two upcoming shows: The Mt. Ephraim Dodge show on May 14 and the Jarrett 15th Annual All Mopar Show on June 26. Our annual banquet was the perfect opportunity to show our appreciation to Larry and Lorraine Nuesch. Their hospitality, generosity and good will towards all members is recognized by everyone in our club. In my opinion, they are very well deserving of the Betty Watson Trophy for 2011. – Hank DeMayo and Bill Tropia Detroit Region PRESIDENT RUSS NARDI called our April meeting to order at the John and Marguerite Rastall Pedal Car Museum with 16 members present. President Nardi reported on the request to host the summer 2014 meet -11- and the possibility of the Detroit Region hosting a one-day leg of the 2013 crosscountry tour. Lynn Miller and Joe Lewis reported on spring car shows and events. The membership voted to purchase a swap table at the North Oakland Swap Meet to promote the Plymouth Owners Club. Members may also use this area to sell parts. Anyone interested in one of Dave Cleavinger’s remaining five cars should call Mel or Sylvia at 517-882-5881. During Tech Time, Larry Borkowski asked for advice on the way to adjust the 1941 column shift linkage. He also asked for a source for a rebuilt master cylinder. – Paul Curtis WE HELD OUR APRIL MEETING at John and Marguerite Rastall’s Pedal Car Museum in Macomb Township., Michigan. Boy, what a collection of various pedal cars, some large, some small. I even saw one similar to the one I had as a five-year-old. For some strange reason we called them “Jeep Trucks.” They have a collection of old wagons. Pedal cars shaped like airplanes hang from the ceiling. There is also a collection of license plates which are placed on the pedal cars. Many of the pedal cars are based on actual cars such as Mercedes Benz and Chrysler vehicles. I was surprised that there were so many sizes of pedal cars made over the decades which basically started in the 1920s and continued through the 1960s. – Joe Lewis Heart of America Region TWENTY-EIGHT MEMBERS and four guests were present on a beautiful warm and sunny day for our April meeting. After reports were given, our president, Mike Schaefer, displayed the new dark blue club jacket which Glenn
