Motorama has a new home
Eye candy
Each year, the VCCA’s show brings visual delights for those who love antique -- and unique
-- vehicles. A few highlights from the 2013 show are pictured.

vintage cars, about 40 vendors, and approx-
imately 1,000 spectators each year.
“I have been involved with the North
Haledon Public Celebrations Committee
for 15 years, and North Haledon has always
welcomed community events,” Motorama
Committee member Ron Panicucci said,
when asked about the show’s move. The
show’s new location is an easy three-mile
drive from its former home.
Once again, proceeds from Motorama
will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation
of New Jersey, a non-profit agency that
grants the fondest wishes of children with
life-threatening illnesses, and scholarship
awards for vocational school students who
demonstrate outstanding performance in
an automotive field. To date, the VCCA
has donated $35,000 to Make-A-Wish.
The show is the club’s major fundraiser.
The event will include music, prizes, and
food and beverages. Food purveyors will
include Nicholas Markets/Foodtown,
Pellegrino’s, the Ice Cream Bakery, and a
popcorn vendor.
The flea market features automotive
products and a wide variety of crafts.
There are items of interest for all, so be
sure to check out the vendors’ tables.
Robert Luczun will return with his
eye-catching 1928 Model AR Roadster
“Car-Toon” Truck. This vehicle is the most
photographed car each year. Bring the
family to see the result of this 2,000-hour
airbrush project. The front fenders are cov-
ered with black-and-white characters such
as Felix the Cat, the Three Stooges, and
Howdy Doody. Hanna-Barbera’s Flint-
stone family shares the left-side engine
cover with Bullwinkle’s crew, Archie
Andrews and friends, and the lovable ani-
mals from Pooh’s Corner. The passenger
side of the Model A features a veritable
army of Disney characters, including 101
Dalmatians! Mischievous figures from the pages
of Mad magazine appear unexpectedly,
and cultural icons such as Albert Ein-
stein, Lucille Ball, Marilyn Monroe, and
Marlon Brando are scattered through-
out the expansive work. Superheroes are
evenly represented, whether you are a D.C.
nerd (Superman, Green Lantern, Flash)
or a Marvel geek (Iron Man, Wolverine,
Hulk). The Vintage Chevrolet Club of America
is a non-profit organization dedicated to
the preservation and restoration of Chev-
rolets of all makes that are at least 25 years
old. The Jersey Lakeland Region VCCA,
Inc. was chartered by the national organi-
zation in 1976 and has since been serving
Chevy enthusiasts throughout the counties
of northern New Jersey.
Members meet the second Tuesday of
each month at members’ homes. Members
are not required to own a vintage Chev-
rolet, but such ownership permits fuller
enjoyment of our many club activities.
Members are required, however, to join the
national organization before joining any
local region. Visit online at http://clubs.
