Here we go again, the weatherman calling for rain. We made it to Old
Town about 2:30 and there were not many cars on "Trophy Row" yet, it
looked like rain. Steve Mc brought out "Murphy" his '62 Ranchero that he
had just finished up putting a 302 "Crate Motor" in. This was it's first
time at Old Town with the new motor. It was good seeing the Blue and
White Falcon out.
Ron and Shirley Hood along with Mary, made it out with the "53 Chevy
tonight, they have been in Georgia for the last several weeks. Good
seeing them and that Chevy!
Gregg from "Wolfman's
Rod Shop" brought out the trailer and the '48 Ford Pick up. that
made the tour to Wisconsin then back to Kissimmee with "Hot Rod"
magazine's "Power
Tour 2005®". Old Town's fire truck was on display in block 3 on
"Trophy Row"
We were at lunch from 4:00 to 5:00 and there wasn't much of a line to
get in the gates. By 6:00 the weather cleared up and the cars coming on
to "Trophy Row" kept rolling in right up to the 8:00 cutoff.
Craig and Jim "daDukes" were performing on the corner by the A&W from
about 6:00. Always a good show to see.
The Florida Chapter of the "AACA"
had several cars displayed on "Deac Hundley Blvd".
Then they came, filling the spectator parking lots.... Thousands of
them, to watch this 15 year spectacle Old Town's "Saturday Nite
Cruise®". These spectators were not disappointed as the 200 plus cars
turned on to the "Bricks" by "Kids Town" lead by Tom Staggs in his '69
Olds 442, June's "Cruiser of the Month". Followed closely by the members
of the "AACA", then
all of the other "Cruisers" that had been on display all day on "Trophy
Row"
That's it for this week.
