On Tuesday, LDN came across
these two fabulous automobiles touring the downtown Lincoln area. It
turns out the vehicles are 50th Anniversary replicas of the 1929
Shay Model A manufactured by Ford Motor Company. The replica
vehicles were manufactured between 1979 and 1982, which even those
years officially makes them classic cars in their own right.
The red and black car belongs to Judd and Nancy Schwindenhammer, and
the black one belongs to their friends Clyde and Karen Petty. The
four friends had driven the "blue highways" from Peoria to Lincoln
after hearing about a great place in Lincoln to eat, the Blue Dog
Inn. Veering off the interstates, they had enjoyed a morning of
driving through the country, then had their lunch at the Blue Dog.
Afterward, they were motoring through town in search of another
place they heard was great in Lincoln, Abe's Carmelcorn Shoppe. The
ladies couldn't leave town without doing a little shopping.
