Stoneham Concert
This Thursday June 25, 2009
This Thursday night June 25, 2009, is the night of the Concert in Stoneham that was written up in the last Oil Leak and also discussed at the June meeting.  
 

A group of cars will be leaving the Grange no later than 5:15 PM to head for Stoneham. Concert itself starts at 7PM, so we should be there earlier. We could also meet/pick-up cars along the way, or you can meet us in Stoneham.

We will travel through Concord, Lexington, Woburn and into Stoneham. If you meet us in Stoneham, we will need to know ahead of time if you want a reserved space!! The special spaces are in a location so that you will be able to either sit in, or in front of your vehicle, and be able to see and hear the concert. Food will be available in the immediate area (walking distance), since we will be leaving for the concert so early, or you could bring a picnic.

If you plan on attending, please let Jack Stokinger know by phone or email ASAP, so that the proper number of special reserved parking places can be put aside. Jack Stokinger -- 978-440-8031 or jackstokinger@comcast.net

ON THIS DAY: July 30, 1863
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
HENRY FORD

Henry Ford, born July 30, 1863, was the first of William and Mary Ford's six children. He grew up on a prosperous family farm in what is today Dearborn, Michigan.
 

ON THIS DAY: November 26, 1927
FORD MODEL A AUTOMOBILE ANNOUNCED
The Ford Motor Company of Detroit, Michigan announced the introduction of the Model A, the first new Ford automobile to enter the market since the Ford Model T was first introduced in 1908. The hugely successful Ford Model T

Henry enjoyed a childhood typical of the rural nineteenth century, spending days in a one-room school and doing farm chores. At an early age, he showed an interest in mechanical things and a dislike for farm work and of course went on to fame as the greatest auto maker in the world. His son, Edsel, who was responsible for the creation of the Model A, died in 1943 at age 49. In 1947, Henry Ford died at the age of 83 at Fair Lane, his Dearborn home  

revolutionized the automobile industry, and over 15,000,000 million units of the "Tin Lizzie" were sold in its 19 years of automotive production and assembly. By 1927, the popularity of the outdated Model T was rapidly waning. Improved, but basically unchanged for its two-decade reign, it was losing ground to the more stylish and powerful motor cars offered by Ford Motor Company's competitors.

In May of 1927, Ford automobile production plants across the country closed, as the company began an intensive development of the more refined and modern Model A automobile. The vastly improved Ford Model A had elegant Lincoln automobile-like styling on a smaller scale, and used a capable 200.5-cubic-inch four-cylinder engine that produced 40 horsepower (hp). With prices starting at $460, nearly 5,000,000 Ford Model A automobiles, in several body styles and a variety of colors, rolled onto America's highways over a four-year period until production ended in early 1932.
