Members of the McLean County Antique Auto Club
filled downtown Atlanta with their treasured autos. There was plenty
of car talk and appreciation by fellow exhibitors and visitors as
the car cruise-in ramped up.
|
Atlanta was cited as a favorite show of the
year by a number of the vintage car owners who brought their cars
for display. |

Chuck Legg can eye up a part that has no
replacement, weld some parts to something else, such as plumbing
pipes or a boat part, and create a substitute that works like the
original. |
|
He had this beautiful 1906 Ford N on exhibit.
It took him three years to restore, finishing in 2006. |
Legg has three other cars at home kept
from many that he has restored over the years and has enjoyed seeing
the pleasure the cars bring to others. One kids model vehicle
brought out the best in an autistic child and he has another in
process for kids. |

Passionate for Ford and restorations, Wilbur
Klink is one of those who comes by restoration and mechanic work
naturally. As one of six kid's, Klink's talent was recognized and
encouraged by his father, who enclosed what was a sandbox for him to
work. He had this stunning 1940 Ford pickup on display. |
