Hail from the Chief
By Brian Novak
Well, this month has really been what spring should be like,
sunny (for the most part) and warm enough to have the top down. Next
meeting will be at Craigos Gourmet Pizza on July 18 at 7:00
pm. Trish says it is a great place to eat, and I know we all like
that! Some of the ladies had a get-together; I hope it all went
well. Then a spontaneous trip on the 2nd was put together by Connie
Lamprecht and the other ladies that met. (We just got back from

Did You
Know
By Egon
Ah summertime and the sun is hot
-- on you and your Vette.
So you have invested many
$$$$$$$$$$$ and you want to keep it as nice as possible.
Washing it is number one. Use only car shampoo, not dish soap.
Next protect the finish from the
UV rays with a good finish wax. Now I like a product that is called Liquid
Glass because it contains no wax or silicones but does a great job. You use the
one that you like.
Next, Vettes have leather seats.
Man does the sun like to dry them out. Put nothing on them and you’re in for a
new $1500 cover for each seat. There are lots of products to choose from. I
like Mothers Leather Conditioner. I would recommend at least using some
conditioner at least three times during the summer.
Next is the dash. When we got
Connie’s Vette it had so much Armor All type product on it that you could not
drive into the sun. Got it off and now it’s ok. The bad side of putting
anything on the dash is that the product vaporizes and coats the inside of the
window.
So take some time between
drives and make your “Baby” look great. You will be glad you did.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Great
Sunday Drive
By Egon
Sunday, July 2 was a
great sunny day. At 10 a.m., 10 Vette club members met at the Relay
Station for a great breakfast. After that, with tummies full we
followed the leader Dick & Trish on a very interesting backcountry drive.
First stop was the
sand dunes west of St Anthony. We kept looking for life flight on a rescue
mission, but no such flight. We discovered that all
At Beaver Dick Park
we split up and went our different ways.
Hope to see more of club members on the next
outing.
End of July or early
August during the weekend.
Red Lodge to
Start early morning
(long day planned).
