Lancias Meet the Fokkers at the 2010 ALC Reunion in Rhinebeck NY
The 2010 AMERICAN LANCIA CLUB reunion will be held at the historic village of Rhinebeck, New York on 10-11-12 September. Rhinebeck is 1.5 hours from any New York airport and 45 minutes drive from Stewart Newburgh airport. The club welcomes ALL Lancia enthusiasts, even non members.
On Friday night there will be a wine and cheese party, followed by a rally on Saturday morning, ending with lunch and an exhibition of Lancias. On Saturday afternoon you’ll be treated to an airshow at the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome, the only place in the world where real WWI-era fighter aircraft perform mock dogfights, including Fokker Tri-Planes. The Aerodrome also has an extensive airplane and car museum. We have booked accommodations in the Delamater House of the Beekman Arms in Rhinebeck, the oldest operational Inn in the United States, where our banquet will also be held on Saturday night. On Sunday morning we have our traditional concours before departing in early afternoon.
The reunion fee is $100 per adult, including party, lunch and the banquet. Anyone interested in attending please contact ALC East Coast Vice President Walt Spak (b20swalt@city-net.com), and/or reunion coordinator James Steerman (aureliaspider@yahoo.com) or on his cellphone 845-216-0461. Hotel bookings MUST be made before 10 August to qualify for our special club rate.
Scroll on. Five articles this week: Karl Ludvigsen (Disconcerting Barchetta), Roberto Motta (Alfa Museum Saved), Editor’s bio, British GP, and Barchetta Lite.
One should hope that the participants to this meeting are aware that Anthony Fokker was in fact a Lancia owner and driver!
Given the logistical difficulties of driving classic cars across the country, the ALC holds two annual reunions–one on each coast. This year, the West Coast Reunion took place in Buellton, California in June. So the September event is the ALC East Coast Reunion; it sure sounds like it’ll be a nice event.
