A friendly question for the community...
Would anyone be interested in excerpts from an antique auto newspaper
called Old Cars Weekly, specifically a column written by a woman about
women and autos. Admittedly it's on the lighter side but the column
is interesting and highlights the role women have had in the auto
industry, the antique auto hobby, etc. If anyone thinks it would
be worth a topic, kindly let me know and I'll be happy to enter
excerpts when the column is run.

Reprinted without permission from Old Cars Weekly Nov. 9th edition. The column is "Women with Wheels" by Mary Sieber. "Women judges serve on teams at every national Antique Automobile Club of America car show. But only one woman to date has achieved the proud recognition os having received her 100th brass plate for field judging and AACA judging schools. A-Mary Abrams of Hagerstown Md received this distinction at the Grand Forks, ND national meet on Aug 12th when AACA President Howard Scotland presented her with her 100th judging chip during the judges' breakfast." The rest of the article goes on to describe A-Mary's background which is quite intensive with respect to autos. Born in Wales, her uncle had encouraged her to help keep their cars running. After she came to the states she became interested in racing, learned to race and over the years ended up owning some very impressive automobiles including a Jaguar, Mercedes, Ferrari and Austin-Healy. She's also been involved with restoring a 1932 Packard which is what originally got her involved with judging. "I was curious to find out what the judges were looking for in the cars on the field." | |||||
