The Western Reserve Section has 2 fun and always-popular events scheduled during August–the Old Cars Fun Day on Saturday, August 13th followed by the Huron Yacht Club Luncheon on Saturday, August 20th.
10th Annual Old Cars Fun Day 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
Our 10th annual Old Cars Fun Day will be hosted by WRS President Rod Thompson (3175 Roundwood Rd., Hunting Valley, OH 44022). This event is focused on Mercedes-Benz models of the 50s, 60s, and 70s, but all years and models are welcome at this popular event. Old Cars Fun Day is a forum for owners and enthusiasts to meet each other and chat about their experiences as drivers and owners of older M-Bs. If you have a question or are experiencing a problem with your car, this is a great opportunity to get answers from the group. It is also a great venue to share recommendations for sources of repairs and parts.
Several featured presenters will highlight our event: Jim Capaldi, President of Capaldi Enterprises, Rick Basta, owner of Colonial Transmission, and Bruce Madorsky, long time vintage car enthusiast.
Jim’s restorations at his shop in Willoughby include many cars sold at Harwood Motors in Macedonia, the host of our January clinic this year. Jim will present one of his restored cars and field questions about the restoration process.
Rick, of course, was our host at our April Transmission Clinic. Because Rick had prepared a wealth of information, we ran out of time and could not cover it all. More information will be covered on OCFD.
Our third presenter is Bruce Madorsky, a long time vintage car collector. Ted Gottfried has been servicing Bruce’s Mercedes for nearly 25 years. Bruce will present a recent addition to his collection, a very low mileage 2006 SL600 V-12, that is immaculate.
Following our Club tour of the Botanical Gardens in April, we were treated to Jazz music at the nearby Barking Spider Club. Bruce, the long time owner of this club, will bring along musicians for OCFD. A nice touch to the ambiance during lunch.
Registration by August 8th is $18 per person and includes a luncheon of pulled pork with cole slaw sandwiches, potato salad, & refreshments. To register by mail, print and mail the form above. Register and pay online here

4th Annual Huron Yacht Club Luncheon
Our 4th annual Huron Yacht Club luncheon will begin at 10:00 am at Mercedes-Benz of North Olmsted (28450 Lorain Rd., North Olmsted) where we’ll enjoy coffee & donuts—and have plenty of time to ogle a great selection of new and pre-owned Mercedes-Benz on display. The group will depart @ 11:00 to caravan to the Huron Yacht Club (350 Huron Street, Huron OH 44839)
Our hosts, Western Reserve Section members Ron and Darlene Renzoni, have arranged a special parking area for us to display our cars. Upon arrival, we’ll enjoy a selection of appetizers at the outside bar during social time to catch up with friends. A highlight of our day is a visit to the boat basin to see a display of antique wooden boats. We’ll have an early dinner at 3:30 in the club dining room.
