I'm bumping this old thread to get some current info and help with some future and permanent MV storage/display and care potential.
The point of this thread was to discuss and search for a way to organize and support the future of Historical MV owners.
Did anyone see any progress south of the 49th? Any new thoughts, business or ideas to add to the 3 year old thread?
We're stuck with a few challenges building a business plan for a virtual and potentially brick & mortar Cold War museum, climate controlled storage and multi-use facility. Our mandate is to preserve and tell the Cold War Story.....due to opportunities, we're not clear on what that looks like, yet.
It ties into the MV hobby and we need to "envision" where the MV hobby will be, ideally to perpetuity but for the foreseeable future.
What will our needs be?
Can MV hobbyists 'carry on' the way we have, for the next 50 years?
Opposition to the MV hobby north of the border is more likely if drastic changes occur in the U.S. There are rumors here though.
Government Considering Ban of Older Vehicles
The new NDP government is considering BANNING OLDER VEHICLES. Buried deep (page39) within their Climate Leadership Discussion Document is the following "requiring vehicles to maintain OEM standards for emission controls: and banning older, less efficient vehicles.
SVAA has expressed it's concerns to Dr. Andrew Leach Chair of Alberta's Climate Change Advisory Panel.
You can also express your concerns by taking their online survey at https://climateleadershipsurvey.alberta.ca/
Our local MVPA is well aligned with the military and I don't see that changing. Small groups in their local area, as part of a larger body with a common goal, statement, constitution, for the good of the community, whatever it takes...has worked.
Paddling in the same direction helps us all.
For those guys that have been in the hobby already for twenty years, what do the next twenty look like?
For the young folks that are going to be taking over our gear......do you even want it?
Would you come see it in a museum, or will our future MV enthusiasts check it out from the computer at home?
Considering your current individual views on the future, what are your plans for your collections when it's time for them to go?
