This wonderful old home movie, updated to a more modern format, was just posted on the AACA website. There aren't many Ts. The games are fun, but the one of driving over logs while balancing a tray of drinks looks to be hard on the cars. There are two fires - one simulated, the other clearly not. These were just 30-year-old used cars then; restoration might have meant checking the oil. These people had no idea that World War II was about to happen. Find a good spot to watch with the beverage of your choice, and enjoy!

Re: Partly OT - First VMCCA Meet 1939
Absolutely amazing clips. Wonder how many of those cars ended up in the Austin Clark collection? Noticed a lot of young people involved and of course some very attractive young ladies. There appeared to be several Renaults in the clips, at least that is what i think the rear radiator cars are. That sure is a great example of apple pie America before the war!

Yes, thanks for posting this Gil. I had seen a poor version of it a few years ago and have wanted to look at it again. It gives a priceless sense of how it was for hobbyists putting 30+ year old cars through their paces. Ya can't see that just anywhere.
Wonderful.
