So I went back and looked at some of the old posts. Someone by the handle of orange green ask "what was the AC Century club"? It doesnt look like it was ever answered. I googled it and Google showed a belt buckle and a paper weight showing the caption. Does anyone remember what it was? Thanks guys.

I find New York Century Association AKA New York Century Club. It is an old elitist social club. Some old AC top brass and lawyers were members.

One example

Joe, he don't need to go anywhere and and get any of that Whoflungpoo virus. Chili and Lasix would be a breeze in comparison with all the troubles he's already dealing with.

Shammers you just stare at that flat tire and think how it is saving your life.

Stay put and stay well as much as you possibly can guys.

I believe the AC Century Club was to recognize the top 100 Allis-Chalmers dealers in the United States (and Canada?) for sales. I'm not sure what they based it on. If it was total dollars of AC stuff sold? Number of tractors and/or combines? I think it was total sales.

My Dad & Uncle's dealership was in the Century Club once I believe. Probably around 1970 or 71. Maybe earlier because I know they sold a LOT of One-Ninety XT's.

Thanks Brian, that sounds plausible.
I wonder if they noted the top 2 or 10 or something. Wonder how many were in the list each year? DANG, I wish they had left all the records and stuff....
