Minutes of Meeting – 6 July 2005
The July 2005 meeting of the Old Car Council of Colorado was called to order by President William
Rosenbach at 7:33 pm at the Forney Transportation Museum, 4303 Brighton Blvd., Denver. 41
member clubs were represented.
Guest Speaker: Sara Chapman and other members of the Formula SAE Team at the CU-Boulder
Mechanical Engineering Dept. described the team’s construction of an open wheel formula race car
which is entered in a national SAE competition for university teams from across the country. This is an
engineering competition, with judging in 7 areas such as presentation, design, acceleration, skid pad,
autocross, endurance, and fuel economy. Motor of the car is from a 610cc Honda motorcycle. The
SAE Chapter at CU is holding a fund-raiser car show at the Boulder campus on September 11th.
1955 Showroom: Ted Rossi (AACA Colorado Region) is still trying to round up 1955 cars (and trucks)
to include in the “1955 Showroom” car display as part of the AACA Grand National and Western
Region Meets in Northglenn. The 1955s show will be Saturday, July 30th, 8 am to 3 pm. Ted’s phone
is 303-457-2373, or Rich Rossi at 303-452-5501.
Minutes: Minutes of the June meeting were approved as published.
Membership in the OCCC is now at 56 clubs and 7 individuals.

SWAP MEET & CAR SHOW: Shirley Zaner recounted the rain-soaked frustrations of the swap
meet on June 3 and 4. Thunderstorms made move-in difficult on Friday, and Saturday saw a steady
drizzle, but still people did come. The inside vendors had a better time of it. The sun did come out after
mid-day, but most outside vendors had packed up. The question of continuing as a one-day meet was
discussed and feedback from clubs is requested. Sunday might have been better, but the event has
never broken even on Sunday expenses. There may not be any proceeds from this year’s meet to return
to clubs.
Legislative Issues: Don Whissen reported on a meeting with representatives of the Colorado Department
of Revenue (Title & Registration Section) and the Colorado State Patrol to discuss the unresolved
problems with obtaining titles for lost title vehicles and assembled replica type vehicles. Don, Leo Boyle,
and Harold Naber represented OCCC. While the bonding requirement for lost title vehicles has been
removed, the CSP maintains that the “roadworthiness” requirement for these vehicles must be met before
a clear title can be issued. We do not believe this is authorized in the Colorado Statutes. Year
designation for Street Rod registration is based on year of chassis, but the proper year for a replica vehicle
is not clarified. Finally, county clerks do not all interpret requirements the same way. More meetings and
possible assistance from legislators will be needed.
