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 By 1927, the popularity of the outdated Model T was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.
