November 12th

Nearly 300 cars came out on this picture perfect day, this is the weather that bring out lots of cars, tonight was no exception. We arrived a little early today, of course Mr. Bill didn't realize that it was us in the Little Corvair today, he is so used to seeing us in the Ranchero. As we made our way to block 4, many of the regulars were in their normal "spots" as we drove by. Gary dropped the wire for us to cross Florida Plaza. Once we parked Linda an I made our way out to deliver the newsletters.

It was good to see the Regulars in the parking spots that they are used to having. Bob Burke was right next to Larry & Chris that were next to Butch and Stephanie on the bottom of block 2. John Cain had his "Double Nickel Express" parked under his Decade of Cruising sign instead of that Nova he had been bringing out the last few weeks.

We found Bob & Marge, Ralph and a few others "On Stage" relaxing a bit in the beautiful breeze. The "Drop Your Top" gang, Bob and Tom, from Brevard county had 2 others lined up beside them just a few spots down from the stage. Ben Franklin was back in his spot way up at the top of block one.

Tony & Sharon were the first to join us behind the "Black Hill's Minerals" about the same time Bob B. started the line up for the "General Store Gang" followed by Dan & Liz, a little later Ron in his '34 Ford. Big Jim & Norma brought the Chevelle out once again before dark. Bill, Virginia and Trevor were the next to join us followed by Ed & Evelyn. Terry left a spot for Mike & Carol for their '54 Hudson.

After a bunch of us came back from dinner, at the 5:00 Gate opening the cars started to roll in, it stayed a steady flow almost all night right up to the 8:00 closing.

The extremely large crowd of spectators that had been to "Town" to enjoy it's shopping and of course the impressive display of cars along "Trophy Row" were not going to be disappointed. Mike Singer was entertaining all with his mix of "Oldies" that could be heard everywhere on "Old Town Radio". "The Company" one of the Cruisers favorite bands were due to be on stage at 7:00PM.

Right on time the Cruisers rounded the turn at "Kids Town" lead by "Cruiser of the Month" in the Red Electra Convertible, to a cheering crowd of spectators lining the West Side of "Deac Hundley Blvd."

We have done this so many times that we are even starting to recognize many of the "Regular" spectators that come out every Saturday Nite. Bill & Doris, Friday Nite Cruisers, must set up early as they are always the first people we see on the left as we make the turn.

Again we must thank the Entire Cruise-In Staff for another fun and safe night at this tradition in Old Town, the "Saturday Nite Cruise®".

Thank you to all the readers and supporters of the prints version and this website.
