Classic Car and Motorcycle
Show
Organizer David Elder is
already looking forward to next year's show, “More people come
out each year.”
The show, which was
re-initiated last year, gets bigger each passing year.
Elder deemed it a success this year by the standard that
it's "simply here to enjoy. It gives owners a chance to come show off and see what else
others are doing.”
Door prizes from jugs of
antifreeze to die-cast cars from NAPA were announced from a
central public address system. Festive car music played as people came out and strolled
amongst the classics, stopping for informative chats with proud
owners.
Amongst those owners
displaying their treasures were Sheriff Tony Solomon
and Jessie E. Robinson of Lincoln.
Solomon owns a light blue ’53 Plymouth Cambridge with all
original parts. “It’s all in working order.
I don’t use the radio though.
It’s one of those tubes it takes 25 minutes to warm up.
We take it out for a ride through the countryside after
church on Sundays,” says Solomon.
“It runs real good.
It’ll do 65 on the highway easy,” he adds.
Another
proud owner, Robinson, shows off his brass-grilled 1914/15 Model T
Roadster. His father
went down to Kentucky in 1940 and brought it back. It was hanging in pieces in the garage when Robinson
refurbished it and put it back together.
You’d never guess looking at the beautiful, glossy- black
spoke wheels that they are made of wood.
Parking and backup lights located near the windshield
operate like and actually are kerosene lamps.
Al
Hood stands with wine-colored beauty, a '56 Ford Customline, owned
by Al and his wife, Donna.
