President’s Message  September / October, 2024 

Hello Moparians,
We are well underway in our planning for the Chrysler 100 event. Hope everyone who can attend this once in a lifetime event does so. We are working behind the scenes to secure some hotel rooms by block. Will keep everyone posted. I know lack of local rooms has been a challenge in the past. However, even if you can’t plan till the last minute,this event will be worth the 35-45 minute drive. There are 4 or 5 major attractions and areas that have multiple lodging options within 45 minutes of Carlisle so everyone can find something. Even last minute. It will be worth it.
 
As many will recall, I have been on my soapbox for a few years about us all working together at some level. This event seems to be a great catalyst for this. We are asking each club to arrange a special display of their group of vehicles. Including a storyboard about their cars and concluding with a promotion of the club and how to get involved. We should encourage participation in all Chrysler Products groups of any type. A rising tide lifts all boats.
 
Summer motoring…. Boy it has been hot this year in central CA. A couple years back, the wife unit put her foot down and demanded air conditioning if she is to participate in my motoring adventures in the summer. With the help of a friend, I retrofitted my 65 300L with a sanden style compressor and new hoses. It’s the coldest blowing A/C of any car I own. After an enjoyable cool year of cruising it developed an internal overheating issue. A fresh 413 sits awaiting her turn on the line up to be installed. Hopefully this winter.
 
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention all the work your board of directors does behind the scenes. Thanks to all. Of particular mention is our new assistant treasurer Mike McKenna. He hit the ground running and is nearly up to speed. Also, Robert and Laqueta Soule have quickly become invaluable. Thanks for all the help. Looking forward to seeing where we can collectively take your club.

Editor’s Message – September / October,  2024 

Greetings fellow Chrysler enthusiasts,

For those of us living in the colder climes, Autunm is here and our car cruising days are waning. It is approaching the time to put our treasured rides into a winter slumber. It seems that the summer just flew by and there wasn’t enough time to do all the car related activities that one wanted to accomplish. 

This issue of the WPC NEWS is devoted to the recent WPC Club National Car meet that was held in Windsor Ontario this past August. If you were not there this year, hopefully you will have a glimpse of the great meet and the great times that the attendees spent in this, a truly international, event. Highlighted are a recap of the daily activities and photos of the places we visited, the show field with all of the spectacular Mopars, and the awards banquet that celebrated the worthy trophy winners and their cool rides.

A new installment of Technical Tidbits is included. Please, if you have a work around that you have experienced in keeping your vehicle in top form and would like to share it with our readers, who may benefit from your experience, drop us a line.

Also, in this issue we welcome new members to our fold. Great to have you aboard. A new installment of Technical Tidbits is included. Please, if you have a work around that you have experienced in keeping your vehicle in top form and would like to share it with our readers, who may benefit from your experience, drop us a line.

We have a short story from a member, ( and WPC Club board member), who recently came across a new addition to his museum devoted to Chrysler products.  

There are a lot of regional activities and events to attend, that are highlighted in this issue, too, if you are out and about.

We are always looking for our readers to post a story about their Mopars in our Readers Rides column. If you are so inclined to share your pride and joy, please contact us. We welcome your experiences. 

As you may already be aware, Next year’s WPC Club national meet will celebrate 100 years. We will hold the meet in Carlisle, PA, in conjunction with The Carlisle Chrysler Nationals in July of 2025. This will be a blockbuster, must- attend event. Look for more details in the future issue of the WPC NEWS. Keep the date open, July 11-13. 2025

Yours in MoPar Motoring,

Frank T.Pascoe,  Editor, WPC News.
