They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder. The truth of that old saying has been proven by the visitation to the Museum after we reopened, and the participation in Museum events this year. Both have hit record levels, even when measured against pre-COVID numbers. We are encouraged and delighted by the enthusiasm shown by our members, our supporters, and the public for the Mu seum and its activities.

The credit for this success is widespread. We have received many outstanding donations of cars, trucks, and buses, and we exhibit them both within the Museum and at outside events. For exam ple, the Museum sponsored a major display tent at the recent Macungie car show, which featured Cadillac as this year’s honored marque. Our volunteers continue to provide outstanding service, con tributing hours that would equal nine full-time employees. They are our ambassadors to greet the tens of thousands of visitors we get each year. Our outstanding staff downsized since the COVID closures work tirelessly to maintain the quality of everything we do. Finally, we could not fulfill our mission without you, our loyal supporters. Special thanks go out to the sponsors of tonight’s dinner, who are listed in the program, as well as the other advertisers supporting the event. It is appropriate that tonight we are honoring Jim Schmidt, a lifelong antique car enthusiast and the founder of National Parts Depot (“NPD”). Jim’s award is based on his contributions to the hobby, but his generosity to our Museum is also deeply appreciated. Our main storage building, “Jim’s Place”, is now heated and air-conditioned to improve the quality of storage and to promote visitation by special request. Space does not permit me to thank personally everyone who has enabled us to remain one of Amer ica’s greatest auto museums. But please know that your support is appreciated. We look forward to a great future in preserving and making the public aware of the rich history of the automobile.
A Message from Our Museum’s President elcome to the 2021 Night at the Museum! After having to cancel last year’s event, we are especially pleased to welcome you here tonight.

Meet Our Automotive Heritage Award Honoree
Throughout Jim’s journey, he and NPD have always believed in giving back to the hobby in both support and philanthropy. In 2007 Jim donated a much-needed vehicle storage building located behind the Museum. The Schmidt Building has affectionately become known as “Jim’s Place.”
SchmidtJim
All are invited to join us at “Jim’s Place” on Friday, November 8th, 8-10 am, for Caffeine Behind the Scenes. This annual event, sponsored by NPD, gives visitors a chance to check out approximately 75 additional vehicles from our collection while visiting with other hobbyists over coffee and donuts.
This year the AACA Museum Automotive Heritage Award honoree is Jim Schmidt. Jim is a lifelong antique auto enthusiast and has accumulated an extensive and eclectic collection of mostly American-made vehicles. The noteworthy collection contains a large number of low-mile unrestored original examples. Jim’s restoration activities started at age 14, when he paid $50 to rescue a 1928 Ford Model A Sport Coupe from a junkyard. He restored the car and still owns it. Turning his interests to the Ford Thunderbird, Jim performed a body-off restoration on a 1957 model, became an early and active member of the Classic Thunderbird Club International (CTCI), and founded National Parts Depot (NPD) in 1976. NPD has evolved into a leading restoration parts supplier for classic American cars and trucks.

Bill served as the Antique Automobile Club of America’s National President in 1979 and 1980 and followed that up with 17 years as the organization’s Executive Director. He also served as the President and Director for the AACA Library and Research Center. These experiences no doubt guided him as he helped lay the groundwork and led the charge to create the AACA Museum where he served as a Board President, Board Member and Director Emeritus. Along the way, he earned many awards, including the 2005 Meguiar’s Person of the Year.

We are pleased to recognize and welcome Edward (posthumously) and Rose Ann Maloy, Dennis “Denny” Schwenk, and Howard (posthumously) and Judith Scotland As the 2021 Class of William H. Smith Museum Fellows
In the spirit of Bill Smith’s untiring devotion and dedication to the AACA Museum, Inc., we are pleased and proud to announce the 2021 Class of William H. Smith Museum Fellows. Museum Fellow status is conferred upon up to three recipients per year for outstanding contributions or service toward the advancement of the Museum. A committee of the Museum’s Board of Directors makes annual recommendations for the awards based upon nominations collected during the year. Nomination forms may be obtained by contacting the Museum’s administrative office.
William H. “Bill” Smith 1935-2021
The AACA Museum, Inc. was created as a grass roots project that involved many different people and organizations. That formula built a world-class museum and continues to serve us well as we move forward into the future. That said, if there is one person who can rightfully claim to be the “Father of the Museum,” it is Bill Smith.
•16• GOLD SPONSOR
Ed served as President of the Rotary Club, and the family became members of the Hershey Region of AACA in 1984. He was the Fall Meet Chairman in 2003 and Region President in 2004. He served on the Museum’s Board of Directors when the facility was constructed and was active in fundraising, exhibit design and the recruitment of our professional staff. Their mutual interest in model railroading culminat ed in “From Roads to Rails,” a permanent interactive exhibit presented in our train room. This space, located in the Richard O. Ullman Family Foundation Gallery, is popular with visitors of all ages. We lost Ed in 2012, but his legacy of generosity and Rose’s commitment to the Museum continues. A poster of Ed in a conductor’s uniform and the title: “Ed Maloy, Founder AACA Museum Roads to Rails Train Exhibit” greets visitors outside the room.
Most recently, she organized a group of talented artists who volunteered their services to paint a mural scene across the walls of this ever-changing exhibit.
Edward and Rose Ann Maloy have a long histo ry with the Hershey community and all things automotive. They raised their four children in Hershey and were active in numerous community activities.
Rose is the daughter of a Kaiser-Frazer dealer with a biology degree from Elizabethtown College. She has been an automotive artist since 1989. Ed held B.S. and M.S. degrees in industrial engineer ing from West Virginia University. He was elected to the WVU Academy of Industrial Engineers and recognized as a fellow in his profession’s national organization. Ed spent four years in the U.S. Air Force before beginning a thirty-year career with Hershey Chocolate USA, which culminated in the position of V.P. of Human Resources.
Museum Fellows Award Class of 2021
Rose has taken over as the exhibit’s volunteer lead er, leading a crew that assembles each Monday for exhibit repairs and renovations. Through personal donations and fundraising efforts, she also secured the support needed to overhaul and modernize the exhibit’s lighting. She tirelessly reaches out to the public to bring in new volunteers and donations of trains, buildings, and scenery to support this project.

Dennis “Denny” Schwenk’s commitment to the Muse um goes far beyond the criteria for “Volunteer of the Year.” He is the Museum’s leader in volunteer service amassing over of 8,700 volunteer hours. And, the number grows weekly as he continues his service.
Denny has reached this extraordinary number of volunteer hours through his commitment to the detail crew and time as a Gallery Guide. In this capacity he has served as a welcoming Museum ambassador, sharing his enthusiasm and automotive knowledge with thousands of guests. Just for good measure, he has also volunteered for our annual summer car show and staffed our booth at events such as the Pennsylvania Automotive Show and Spring and Fall Carlisle.
Dennis “Denny” Schwenk
Museum Fellows Award Class of 2021
Denny has made the AACA Museum a “second career” in his retirement. The Museum is honored to recognize him as the first-ever volunteer to become a William H. Smith Museum Fellow.
We depend on our volunteers for every as pect of Museum operations. Hundreds of people have contributed countless hours to our advancement. Their efforts began in the 1990s when the Museum was incorporated as a 501 (C) 3 organization and took on a full public presence open ing our doors in June 2003. We value and depend on this group and each year one individual is selected as our “Volunteer of the Year.” This award is given to the “individual who has had the largest positive impact on the Museum during the previous 12 months.

A retired AMP product engineer and long-term own er of multiple vintage MGs, Denny has volunteered in many different capacities since our opening day. He is currently a steadfast member of our Tuesday Vehicle Detail Crew. While his roles and days of the week he volunteers have changed over the years, his reliability never wavers. In addition to moving and preparing vehicles for exhibit, he has also served as an informal staff photographer, documenting new donations and supplying auction photos for those that are deaccessioned.

Howard and Judith Scotland
Museum Fellows Award Class of 2021
Howard and Judith Scotland have supported the Museum starting with the initial discussions about its creation. To kick-off their support, Howard sponsored the building’s boardroom and continued to extend his time, money, and commu nication skills to ensure that the Museum thrived.
In 2019, Judy donated the detailed “New York to Par is” bronze sculpture by Henry Wanlass. Today it is on permanent display in the Museum’s Rotunda where everyone can share in its beauty and representation of the Thomas Flyer and the Great Race of 1907.
•21•
In 2020, Judy decided that if giving one 1941 Cadil lac to the Museum was a good idea, then giving two would be fantastic and as such, the Museum has twins. Known by most antique car aficionados as the Scotland Twins, they are two 1941 Series 62 Cadillacs. Sharing the Valcour Maroon color, one is a sedan and the other is an ultra-rare convertible sedan.
Anyone that knew Howard and knows Judy appre ciates their love for the antique car hobby and their lifelong commitment to the preservation of all things related. The Museum is honored to be a part of that commitment and appreciates all that Howard and Judy have done and continue to do to support Ameri ca’s Transportation Experience.
To honor the memory of Howard, an AACA Board Member and two-term President, and to perpetuate their tremendous support, the Museum has been the beneficiary of some marvelous gifts from Judy.

Recently, Troy released his first solo Bluegrass album with the same name. And by solo, we do mean SOLO! Troy sang and wrote all 12 songs on the project, played mandolin, banjo, fiddle, dobro, guitar, upright bass, strings, and drums!
Troy Engle & Southern Skies
He has gathered an amazing set of musicians to bring these tunes to life on stage. The band specializes in original, traditional bluegrass and country music, with a modern flair. If you took Alison Krauss, Ricky Skaggs, Larry Sparks, and threw in a little Randy Travis for good measure, “Troy Engle and Southern Skies” is what that band might sound like!

And if that wasn’t enough, Troy recorded, mixed, and mastered the album as well.
Troy Engle’s resume reads like a who’s who of bluegrass and country music. He has played everywhere from the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville to bluegrass festivals all across North America, with artists like: Patty Loveless, Larry Sparks, The Isaacs, and Buddy Jewell. He’s written award-winning bluegrass hits with Dixie and Tom T. Hall and composed music for TV Shows like The Voice, American Pickers, Duck Dynasty, and Pawn Stars. Now he and his band “Southern Skies” step into the spotlight at the Museum, to shine the light on Troy’s original music.

Jenny Pickel plays fiddle and sings lead and harmony vocals. She has performed with Pennsylvania favorite “3 Dollar Suit,” and when not fiddling, she passes her time teaching 3rd graders in elementary school!
Adam Kruzic plays mandolin and sings harmony vocals. He has played in many great bands including “Blue Daze,” “Mercury Rizing,” and “Blue Roots.” He is a fixture in the Mid Atlantic Bluegrass scene, and an avid super jam hunter. If you want to find where the hot picking is going on, just follow Adam, AKA “Lefty”!
Steve Streett is a multi-instrumentalist, who provides solid banjo playing for the band. He also plays fiddle, bass, pedal steel, mandolin, guitar, and more. Hopefully we can get him to drag out some other instruments too! Steve has been a mainstay sideman in the MD/PA area for several years. He also plays with local favorite, “Hot Rod Mule.”
Mandy Engle provides upright bass and vocals. She also plays piano, violin, and tuba! Mandy has co-written several songs with Troy, and has performed at the songwriter showcase at the IBMA World of Bluegrass.

Exhibits

Night at the Museum is among the last opportunities to take in the current featured exhibits. Our Keep on Truckin’: Light Duty Trucks exhibit, the Iconic Chevrolets display, and the Hershey’s History: Before & After Chocolate presentation will close October 22nd. The MiniBike Mania exhibit, which was extended from the Spring, will also close. The exhibits’ popularity has helped the Museum overcome the challenges of the pandemic and thrive.
The Williams-Clyne Showroom Gallery is the home of Keystone Packards’ Historic Packard display. The company was considered the preeminent luxury car before World War II. Owning a Packard was prestigious, being a favorite with European royalty, celebrities, and American corporate tycoons. The License Plate Collectors Association display presents a retrospective of vintage plates. Over the years, license plates have evolved to expand color capabilities, include images, and accom modate personalization.
What’s Next?
Our new exhibits debut in November. Survivors: Unrestored Classic Cars, Trucks & Motorcycles is our featured exhibition. Most agree that survivors must have the original paint job, original interior, and parts. It’s an added bonus to have documentation confirming the location and date of the vehicle’s original purchase. Our collection of survivors is curated by Museum Curator Stan Sipko.
