The day started out quite nicely, Linda & I
were working this morning at the "Orlando
Hamcation" at the Orange county Fairgrounds. Just about the time we
were about to leave the sky darkened and the rain started, we made our
way to Old Town in the Torrential rain! That was O.K. the wash job that
I had done on the little Corvair was no longer valid. The wind kicked up
so bad that we had sand all over the car, interior and all while at the
Fairgrounds.
We arrived just before 4:00PM. The "Classic Chevy Show" was
in "Town" since Thursday. Hundreds of the "Bow Ties" gather once a year
for this event. The weather had deteriorated so badly that I could not
get very many pictures. The rain would be with us off and on for the
rest of the night.
John & Angel were out in their Red Nova, no wait what's
that? A Mopar? Hmmmm he has cruised a Ford then a Chevy now a Mopar? I
will get a few more details on it next week.
Tony & Marlene joined in on their first Saturday Nite
Cruise as a "Cruiser" with their 1930 Chevrolet 3 Window Coupe. They had
debuted it at "Duke Davis' Wednesday Nite Cruise-In" the very first
evening, right after getting it off the transport. Thursday it blew out
a couple of dry rotted tires, they thought they might not make it out
tonight. Linda helped the find out the information on where to buy them.
Al Wendling steered them to the "Right Place" just in time so that they
may join us.
As always when there is a special event in "Town" many of
the regulars do not make it out. There are many "Die Hards" that always
make it. It was hard to find most of them as this always displaces us.
On a good note, Richard "The Iceman" gets to Cruise his 2 Camaros once a
year at this event.
Even with all the rain the spectator crowd was quite large
and they were treated to 132 cars parading past them led by Darrel &
Jacky Johnson in their White '57 Chevrolet Belair convertible February's
"Cruiser of the Month"
