Help with Alpha Radial Tires 1973-1978

Help with Alpha Radial Tires 1973-1978

Many of the owners of 1973 to 1978 vehicles that came with Alpha radial tires cannot find tires that are properly marked with the original Alpha markings.  To make these vehicles correct for AACA Judging they should have Aplha Radials. Eric Marsh is attempting to identify the market for Alpha radials and lobby the aftermarket tire manufacturers to manufacture these tires again. The manufactures have indicated to Eric that if he can provide an idea of market they will consider reproducing the tires. Eric requests that any owner that might be interested in obtaining a correct set of Alpha Radials contact him to place their name and requirements in a registry.  Once the registry is of sufficient size Eric intends to contact the manufactures to see if and when Alpha radials can be made available again.

NC Region at the National Membership Meeting _ Philadelphia, PA

By Virginia Wright

Many NC Region members attended the  2018, 82nd AACA Annual Membership Meeting in Philadelphia, PA on February 8-10, 2018. Former First Lady, Fran Oakes, rode with us (Tom, Sean and Ginger Wright) to attend the meeting and participate in the National Awards Banquet. The Sheraton Hotel/Convention Center in Philadelphia plays host to this event was filled to capacity (mostly due to the Philadelphia Eagles having won the Super Bowl and the following celebration). There was plenty to do.  This was the third time we have represented New River Chapter at the meeting and the first time without SNOW.

We attended several interesting seminars plus we spent a lot of time in the Trade Show area. In the following pictures you will see some of the things that are a part of this very well organized convention. Note, the National Awards Banquet was like attending the Academy Awards… Only the “Cars” are the Stars and the owners get to collect their Oscars/Awards. As each recipient was recognized, a large screen picture was shown and a short bio was announced. It is a Red Carpet event complete with a reception that includes a string quartet and a cash bar. Our 1936 25/30 Rolls Royce received the Foo Dog award. We were very happy to get this prestigious award for our car. Tom’s sisters also attended the Banquet and remarked what a great family oriented organization Antique Automobile Club of America is.

Below are some pictures of the event.  To see more pictures Click. 2018 AACA National Meet Virginia Wright’s Pictures
