Interstate 5, specifically. Nostal-
gic cruisers will coax their col-
lectibles out of hiding and hit the
road this year for Graffiti Weekend’s 27th
anniversary event.
Nearly 1,000 drivers pull into Douglas
County each summer to show off their
classic cars during Graffiti Weekend.
Despite rising fuel costs, this year will
be no different.
“A lot of people from out of town have
called and are planning on coming,” said
Don Larson, a member of the Stray Angels
Car Club. “We’ve been getting good
responses so we’re hoping everything goes
good.”
Graffiti Weekend started out as an idea
between the members of three car clubs
who wanted to relive the ’50s by cruising
their classics down Harvard Avenue in
1982. It’s evolved into one of Douglas
County’s most noteworthy events.
Featuring five days of hot rods and one-
of-a-kind creations of all models, colors
and horsepower, the event is expected to

Winston Summer
Nite Cruise
a family affair
WINSTON — Bernice McClellan called the
Winston Summer Nite Cruise a “family activity.”
Each year, a couple of thousand people take to
the streets and sidewalks of Winston for the cruise
and then mingle at Civic Wayside Park afterward,
enjoying music and food.
This year, the cruise is scheduled to take place
from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday.
The cruise route starts at the south end of Main
Street and continues right on Douglas Boulevard
to Abraham Avenue, where motorists will turn
right again onto Lookingglass Road and head east
back to Main Street.
Vehicles are not limited to certain years; owners
of all special interest cars are welcome to cruise.
Following the cruise, vendors will be set up at
the park to serve cotton candy, hot dogs, corn dogs
and root beer floats.
McClellan said the live music aspect of the
event fell through this year, but there will be taped
’50s music playing at the park.
The Winston Summer Nite Cruise is a drug- and
alcohol-free event.
Information: 679-8281.

T
he orangey-red ’56 Bel Air two-
door hardtop found its way to
Monna Healy as a Christmas gift
in 2001.
She had just gotten off work and pulled
into her driveway thinking to herself,
“Wow, I wonder who’s at our house?”
It was a gift from her husband, Mike
Healy.
“I was speechless,” Monna Healy said.
He wanted a partner vehicle for his
stock ’56 midnight blue Chevy pickup and
thought the investment would suit his wife
perfectly.
The couple often traveled in the pickup
from Eugene for Graffiti Weekend in the
early ’90s. The Healys joined the Stray
Angels Car Club in 1998, after moving to
Roseburg.
However, cruising the “his and her” cars
was cut short by the death of her husband,
a Vietnam veteran, in 2003. As a tribute to
Mike Healy, Monna Healy, her daughter
and her two grandchildren led the Saturday
night Graffiti Weekend cruise that same
year.
At first, Healy thought she would sell
both of the cars. She didn’t see herself tak-
ing care of the classics, nor did she have a
great interest in holding on to the automo-
biles. Her husband had always taken care
of upkeep and when he died, his wife did-
n’t envision herself taking his position as
mechanic.
“I didn’t think I would follow through
with all this,” she said, gesturing to the
two, polished vehicles in her driveway as a
neighbor passing by slowed to catch a bet-
ter glimpse of the shiny collectibles. Her

hardtop as well as the whitewall tires,
another custom detail she decided to add.
“I am really into it,” she said, beaming
about her most recent award and then
adding that her husband would be
“shocked.”
“I always thought of it as a ‘guy’ thing,”
said 60-year-old Healy, the only female
director the Stray Angels Car Club has
ever seen.
Now Healy takes pride in adding little
details to her Bel Air, such as the music
notes on the right front side. She attributes
the stickers to her string of trophies, which
started with third place and led to first
place only after she had applied the decals.
“It’s gotta be the musical notes,” she
said.

INCHESTER — When John
Feeback, 61, takes his 1930
Model A Ford pickup out for
a cruise, he said the most
common comments he receives are from
older folks who say, “Boy, I had one just
like it.”
Not quite.
“I try to be polite about it,” said Fee-
back.
The only original part of his automobile
is the body. He has completely restored the
street rod to its current condition and esti-
mates he invested about $6,000 in costs
and hundreds of hours listening to Talk
Radio while working on the rig in his
garage.
The retired battalion fire chief, formerly
of Klamath Falls, bought the old pickup
from his brother-in-law four years ago. It
was rundown, dirty, greasy and disassem-
bled.
“My brother-in-law was not a mechan-
ic,” said Feeback.
He rebuilt the engine last winter,

Now, the car is for sale.
“It makes about 300 horsepower,” said
back to high school, when he started paint-
ing kids’ cars. He also took auto body and
refinishing courses at Oregon Technical
Institute. The handyman said he has
restored dozens of old classics since then.
His latest project, the shiny, jet-black
automobile with purple ghost flames
stretching across the hood, had been pulled
out of the garage for viewing. Blue fuzzy
dice hung from the rearview mirror and
Feeback demonstrated “air conditioning of
the ’30s” by popping open the front dash-
board window. Feeback said he has
entered the pickup in about 50 car shows,
some as far as the California Bay Area.
He counted under his breath the trophies
he has garnered with the Ford and pointed
to a couple of them in his garage, but he
lost track after about 10.
However, the president of the Umpqua
Flatheads Car Club will not be showing his
vehicle at the annual Graffiti Weekend Rose-
burg Town Center Car Show on Saturday.

DAY OF THUNDER
Comes to the Douglas
It will be a day of thunder, and it’s time to show
Daytona Beach what the Roseburg region’s got
under the hood, according to Bill McAnally, promoter
of the Toyota Bi-Mart Firecracker 150 presented by
NAPA Auto Parts.
The NASCAR Camping World Series Division
race explodes July 11 at the Douglas County
Speedway.
That’s right. NASCAR racing teams and professional
drivers will circle the oval in Roseburg, the only
NASCAR-sanctioned event in the entire state of
Oregon this year.
And fans who want to see more of the
same – and maybe even a NASCAR-
sponsored racetrack in the region
one day – should come out in force,
support their favorite driver and take
in the richness of professional stock
car racing in the seventh annual visit
to town, according to Bill McAnally,
owner of Bill McAnally Racing.
“We’ve always had a great crowd
since we first came to Roseburg in
2002,” says the former NASCAR
Winston West driver, who owns three
racing teams based in Antelope,
California. “We love the beautiful
Northwest, and the way the fans
treat us up here.”
Support for the Toyota Bi-Mart
Firecracker 150 presented by NAPA
Auto Parts is important to continued racing in the
region and to future decisions by NASCAR about
building a permanent facility in the region, McAnally
says.
“NASCAR keeps talking about building a new major
facility in the Northwest,” says McAnally. “The
best way to let Daytona Beach know they should
be building a racetrack in Oregon is to get a big
turnout and show NASCAR that NASCAR belongs
in Oregon.”
Many local businesses get involved in supporting
the race each year, the promoter said.
Fans also turn out in force, and he warns that tickets
should be purchased as early as possible, because
people have been turned away from the gate in the
last two years.
There’s even an opportunity to watch a caravan
of NASCAR transporters arrive in town loaded

with race cars between 2:00 and 3:30 p.m.
this Thursday.
They will travel from Interstate 5 along Edenbower
Boulevard and Stewart Parkway to the Roseburg
Bi-Mart. Cars and drivers will be on their way to a
promotional event in the store parking lot that runs
from 4 to 6 p.m.
“Anybody that can be on the street should come out
and welcome the teams in,” McAnally says. “We’d
like to see them out there to give a big wave and a
welcome to town.”
Don Leber of Bi-Mart, Brian Ickler, winner of the 2007
Firecracker 150, and Bill McAnally of BMR.
On race day, McAnally said there’s even more in
store – an opportunity for regular fans to get the red
carpet treatment at the Toyota Bi-Mart Firecracker
150 presented by NAPA Auto Parts.
VIP tickets are on sale to the general public, and
participants will enter a hospitality tent set up with
food, beverages and entertainment.
“Fans can come, small business owners can bring
clients . . . it’s open to the general public,” the promoter
said of the NASCAR VIP opportunity. “Some of the
drivers will be there, along with flagmen, a magician,
a raffle and dinner. It’s just a great opportunity.”
A Toyota Bi-Mart Firecracker 150 presented by Napa
Auto Parts ticket is needed, which can be purchased
at Bi-Mart for $25.
Tickets to the VIP event are an additional $30 and
can be purchased at the Douglas County Speedway
ticket office or at the Douglas County Fairgrounds
ticket office.
“It takes you to the next level,” McAnally says of the
VIP tent area.
The race will be followed by a half-hour fireworks
show, McAnally says.
Now in its 55th season, the NASCAR Camping
World Series Division can be traced back to 1954,
when NASCAR came to the West
Coast and began sanctioning the
Pacific Coast Late Model circuit,
with many of the races run on
dirt tracks.
Through the 1960s and 1970s the
series visited fewer and fewer dirt
tracks. The final West Series race on
a dirt track was in 1979.
The series has continued to
evolve, with various changes
taking place during the 1980s and
early 1990s. The construction of
beautiful superspeedways – such
as the California Speedway and
Las Vegas Motor Speedway
– sparked a resurgence in regional
NASCAR racing.
The series has had several titles.
In addition to being known as the
Pacific Coast Late Models, it was called Grand
National West, Winston West Grand National and
the NASCAR Winston West Series.
Camping World Series West cars are the same cars
that are used in the Nextel Cup and Busch series.
The primary difference is the engine size. Grand
National West cars are powered by a 358 cubic inch
V-8 engine.
The races are a stepping stone for drivers heading
for the premiere division of NASCAR, the Sprint
Cup Series.
A few of the more well-known recent graduates of
the Camping World Series are Brendan Gaughan,
who won back-to-back championships in the series
in 2000 and 2001; Kevin Harvick, who won the
series championship in 1998; and David Gilliland,
who was the West Series Sunoco Rookie of the
Year in 2004.

Roseburg man fulfilling a Model T dream
CRAIG REED
The News-Review
M
any young boys dream at some
point about being a fireman —
jumping on the fire engine and
racing to the rescue.
Wes Melo of Roseburg has fulfilled that
dream through the years. He not only was a
volunteer fireman for 24 years, he has also
acquired his own two fire engines.
Fire departments and engines are a part of
the 65-year-old Melo’s heritage. His father,
Frank, was the fire chief in Mount Shasta,
Calif., when Melo was a boy. The depart-
ment’s fire engine at that time was a Model T.
A similar fire engine, a 1915 Model T
Ford/American LaFrance chemical fire
engine, is now parked in a garage next to
Melo’s home a couple of miles north of
Roseburg. He and friends have been restoring
that engine since he purchased it in 1999, fin-
ishing the work in March. A chemical reac-
tion provides the pressure to shoot the water,
similar to “a large fire extinguisher,” said
Melo.
Also parked in the garage is a 1923 Model
TT/Howe, another fire engine. He bought it

in 2004 and spent two years restoring it.
“Both engines I restored with a lot of help
from people in the community,” he said.
Neither engine gets a lot of exposure to the
outside world, but Melo plans to bring them
out for a drive and display during the upcom-
ing Graffiti Weekend activities that include a
celebration of the 100th anniversary of the
Model T that was first introduced in 1908.
Steve Gorthy of Roseburg, another Model
T owner, is coordinating a show-and-shine
event in downtown Roseburg from 10 a.m. to
3 p.m. Saturday, a barbecue dinner for Model
T owners in the Roseburg High School park-
ing lot and then a parade lap by the Model T
cars to begin the evening cruise around
downtown Roseburg. After their initial laps,
the Model T’s will be parked and displayed in
the parking lot to the east of the Douglas
County Library.
“We hope to have 20-plus cars,” Gorthy
said of the Model T’s that were produced by
Ford from 1908 through 1927, adding that
he’s hoping to have at least one car from each
of the production years. JON AUSTRIA/The News-Review

Continued from page 15
Melo will have representatives from two
of those years with his two fire engines.
He plans to drive the 1915 engine. Friend
Mark Spangler, who has consistently
helped on the restoration work, will drive
the 1923 truck.
“I feel these are part of our history,”
Melo said. “They’re a way for me to try to
take care of automobiles that have signifi-
cant history. And they’ve been fun to work
on.
“The motors and transmissions are
primitive and have a tendency to have
mechanical problems, but they’re easier to
fix because they’re pretty simple,” he
added.
Melo was a 20-year employee of Cham-
pion International forest products, making
several moves with that company before
moving with it to Roseburg in 1988. He
was a volunteer fireman for the six respec-
tive departments of each town in which he
lived, but never became a paid fireman,
although he did apply for a couple of fire
chief jobs early in his career.
GRAFFITI 2008
Wes Melo of Winchester sits in his 1915 Ford Model T. Melo says its engine is the
seventh ever made and the second-oldest one known to exist.
He first got into the Model T business in
1993 when he purchased a 1915 Touring
car, a five-passenger sedan. He worked on
JON AUSTRIA/The News-Review
it some, but it was basically restored.
Six years later he not only bought the
fire engine, but also a 1915 Open Delivery,
similar to a little pickup. The latter was
also already restored, but the engine need-
ed a lot of work and got his attention for
almost seven days a week for the next nine
years.
That Ford/American LaFrance engine is
the seventh one ever made and is the sec-
ond-oldest one known to still exist,
according to Melo.
Melo said he had that engine on display
only once in 2007, and it took the People’s
Choice Award at the one show in which it
appeared.
“I’m done buying,” Melo said of Model
T’s. “I have enough to keep up what I
have. There’s a fair amount of mainte-
nance to these with their electrical sys-
tems, fuel systems being sensitive and
having to grease the chassis and bearings.”
Gorthy, who owns a 1912 Model T
Speedster and a 1915 Touring car, said he
wasn’t sure if the first year or two of
Model T production would be represented,
but hoped that a 1910 car from Eugene
would be on display during Saturday’s
activities.

HOW I GOT THE CAR:

12.
WORK I’VE DONE ON THE CAR:
I built it from Model T parts scrounged
from anywhere and everywhere. It was
first assembled with generic parts, but
then I learned more about correct year
applications and did it all over again.
There is a lot of argument about the year
models that many parts came on, but this
is a pretty authentic 1915. The dated parts
have 1915 serial numbers and the rest

OCCUPATION:

MY RIDE:
1912 Model T Speedster
HOW I GOT THE CAR:
It belonged to my granddad, Jack Gor-
thy. He noticed when I was only 1 year
old that I, too, possessed the patrilineal
genetic regard for shiny objects and bugs
in my teeth. He decided then that I should
someday have the speedster.
WORK I’VE DONE ON THE CAR:
Polished brass! My dad and I are also
upgrading the ignition system and sus-
pension with period-correct accessory
parts and putting finishing touches on the
body rebuild that was done after the car
was damaged in an accident 20 years ago.

Continuation of a long family tradition (Steve Gorthy). They don’t operate like
modern cars. And Grandpa messed
around with them with his friend Richard
Burke from the time he was a boy, before
World War II. The speedster and Dad’s
touring car are sort of two peas from the
same pod that originated from their T fas-
cination and building of “bugs,” or speed-
sters. Parades, tours and campouts with
antique cars were key experiences in my
family when I was growing up.
FAVORITE PLACE TO DRIVE:
I haven’t driven the speedster in so
long that I’m going to have to practice up
before the parade leading off the cruise. I
live in Portland and have no place to keep
it, so it stays at my folks’ place in Rose-
burg. I guess my favorite place to drive it
is anywhere there are wide open spaces
so I can get it up to road speeds (40 or 45
mph!) without worrying about obstacles.
FAVORITE CAR MEMORY:

goggles on. The T decked out like a police

HOW I GOT THE CAR:
My best friend, Brent Byers, found the
pickup while out looking for parts for his
1954 Chevy pickup. It was part of a
garbage pile and had all sorts of junk
piled on it. He knew I had always wanted
an F-1 and decided to pursue buying it for
me for my birthday.
WORK I’VE DONE ON THE CAR:
I did all of the work on the pickup
myself. Some of that work includes:

being that my dad and my son both
worked with me on this project. It was
the best part of this project. My parents
moved to Salem shortly after getting the
truck on the road, so I probably will not
ever have the chance to do this again with
my dad. The second reason is probably

process of rebuilding the pickup, my wife
became pregnant. After finding out, I was
on a mission to finish and bring her and
the baby home in it. I set up a Gantt chart
based on my wife’s due date and did
everything I could to stick to it. Every-
thing was on target and I was in good
shape to complete my goal, when one day,
about a week and half before the due date,
my mom came running out to the garage
to tell us my wife’s water broke. A few
hours later we had a baby girl. We were so
close to being finished. We came up with a
plan to get it done before she and the baby
would be released from the hospital. In the
meantime, my friend Brent pulled his F-1
out of storage and was getting it ready for
me to use as a backup. None of this was to
happen, though. Two days after being
born, my daughter became sick from
spinal meningitis. She was moved to
Sacred Heart in Eugene. The morning
after the move to Eugene, my wife became
ill with meningitis. With my wife in ICU
and my daughter in NICU, no one was
thinking about hot rods. A month later
they were able to come home from the
hospital. The pickup was unfinished. The
GRAFFITI 2008
thing is, I was not disappointed in any
way. The fact that my wife and daughter
Classic Car Tales
came home healthy and alive overshad-
owed any disappointment I might have
had from things not going according to
plan. This truck now means a lot more to
me than it ever could have if these events
didn’t happen. It will always be an icon to
me of family, love and strength. Inciden-
tally, shortly after she came home from the
hospital, I took my wife to dinner at
Tolly’s in Oakland for her birthday on the
pickup’s maiden voyage, and my daughter
asks to go for rides in it every chance she
gets.
FAVORITE PLACE TO DRIVE:
I love to drive my pickup on the back
roads of Douglas County.
FAVORITE CAR MEMORY:
Last May my son and I drove the pickup
to Salem to do some work on my parents’
house. It happened to be the weekend that
heat wave hit. It was hot and uncomfort-
able, but I’ll never forget my 6-year-old

W
APPINGERS FALLS, N.Y.
(AP) — In a repair shop
packed with Cadillacs — the
classic kind with fins, white-
wall tires, curvy chrome bumpers and V-8
engines that get miles per gallon you can
count on your fingers — Elsa Nicodemus
showed off a favorite.
It’s a 1956 Series 62 convertible with an
obsessively polished aqua paint job, rocket
cones poking out from the front grille and
an engine that runs with a hushed chug.
“Now you’re going to know the differ-
ence between a Ford and a Chevy and a
Cadillac,” she said, opening the driver’s
door. Even the black and aqua leather seats
shine. “This is an automobile.”
Nicodemus could easily have shown off
instead the maroon 1940 Series 60 jacked
up nearby, or the long, white ’59 Eldorado
Biarritz convertible with its interior ripped
out, or any of the dozen-plus classic Cadil-
lacs stacked three-high on hydraulic lifts at
her sprawling garage.
All the classic cars here are gorgeous —
