Fred Mulchi's Taste In Cars
Runs Counter To Usual Driver
By HOWARD JONES
Fred W. Mulchl's taste In
automobiles doesn't travel In
the same direction as those of
the typical motorist. In fact,
the older Fred's car, the better.
At a time when the average
American motorist Is craving
the latest in chrome-plated cars
oozing with excess horsepower,
Fred Mulchl seems a bit out of
step with the times. The form
er Warren county farm boy
likes it that way, though.
One of a handful of antique
auto fanciers In this area, he
has filled many an hour re
storing abandoned automobiles,
and has won a couple of coveted
trophies in tours sponsored by
the Horseless Carriage Club of
Amprtra.
His latest came Just last
month on a tour that got under
way In South Carolina. Before
the more than 50 cars partici
pating In the tour had hardly
warmed up, Fred had won a
prize for the second best car
In the tour.
The car, a 1922 Ford Speed
ster, hadn't always beenasleek
white vehicle with shiny spoke
wheels and a motor that fairly
pur^rs. a little over a decade
ago, while Fred- was scoring
touchdowns for Norllna High
School, Martin Hayes was using
the motor of the car to power
a sawmill.
Shortly after graduation from
high school, Fred became In
terested In c!d cars. His firs?
was a 1925 Ford sedan which
he purchased from Lonnle
Drake of the Oakvllle Com
munity. He spent about six
months working on that car and
entered it in his first antique
car tour in 1954. He travelled
the route from Laurlnburg to
Boone, encountering the least
mechanical trouble of any
driver on tour, and won an en
graved trophy for his effort.
That gave him the stimulus
he needed, if Indeed he needed
any, to become a bona fide an
tique car lover. Shortly after
ward he contacted Martin
Hayes, and with some help from
his brother, Charles, he se
cured the Ford Speedster from
the Hayes sawmill.
Working from a set of plans
clipped from a magazine, Fred
began the long search for many
of the parts he needed to re
store the Speedster. And there
were many.
"When I got the car from Mr,
Hayes, It consisted of only a
transmission, motor, frame and
rear end," Mulchi said.
Some of the parts came from
the West Coast, where, Inci
dentally, Ford Speedsters of
1922 vintage now are selling for
about $2,000. The hubcaps came
from Texas. However, the ma
Jorlty of the parts, Fred said,
had to be custom built by hand.
He made a few modifications,
mainly on the fenders, but the
car Is virtually the same that
a customer might have viewed
in a 1922 Ford showroom.

the evening.
Miss Joyce Seaman open the
meeting with the devotional. The
Rev. M. E. Franke led In group

Jimmy Hecht was In charge of
the entertainment.
The hostess served potato
chips, cookies and drinks.

power, will average 21 miles
to the gallon and can carry Its
two passengers 65 miles an
hour.
|
Mulchi used goggles when he
first began driving the car, but
they are not essential now that
he has installed a windshield.
The only visible imperfection in
the Speedster is a wrinkle in
the hood. Although it is barely
noticeable, it was enough to
knock his car out of first placel
in the Horseless Carriage
Club's July tour.
Actually the car was seven
years in the revamping stage.
Mulchi worked on it when he
had the opportunity, abandoned
his work while he was in. ser

Limer Family Returns

has had finishing touches added
while Mulchl was working In
Tennessee and South Carolina.
While Mulchi and his wife,
the former Anne Tucker of Nor
lina, live near Roanoke Rapids
with their two daughters, Vickie
Lynn, 4, and Mltzl, 3, the Ford
Speedster is kept high and dry

car," Mulchi said, "and I can't
wait to get started on it."
