When we moved to Maryland, I took the '39 to my first cruise-in there. Like all resto's, the '39 was a work in progress. I pull in to a parking spot and as I am setting the parking brake (hadn't shut the engine off yet), a guy comes up to the door and introduces himself as the local chapter president of the VCCA. He then tells me he also owns a '39 half ton and then proceeds to start listing everything that was incorrect about my truck. When he stopped to take a breath, I said "Thank you very much," released the parking brake and went home. I did not renew my VCCA membership and have not been a member since.
