BIG CAR SHOW IN MAQUOKETA TODAY!

 THE 2ND ANNUAL CLASSIC ROD AND CUSTOM CAR SHOW WAS HELD
TODAY AT THE OHNWARD PARKING LOT ON EAST PLATT STREET.
RICH HALL, DIRECTOR OF  OHNWARD,  SAID CAR COUNT WAS DOWN FROM LAST YEAR.    LAST YEAR IT WAS HELD IN JUNE AND WAS NOT HELD THE
SAME WEEKEND AS ALL THE HIGHS SCHOOL GRADUATIONS.
HERE IS THE "BEST OF SHOW" CAR.....

A 1970 CHEVELLE SS OWNED BY PAT COLEMAN OF DUBUQUE.   BELOW
A LOOK AT THE ENGINE.    INSIDE AND OUT, IT LOOKED LIKE IT HAS JUST
COME OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE.

SOME OF THE OTHER TOP 20 CARS BELOW:

 

A 1953 BLACK CHEVROLET PICKUP

OWNED BY DON HAVENER OF DEWITT

THIS BRIGHT 1958 PANEL TRUCK IS OWNED BY THE GREAT OUTDOORS FEATURE WRITER MIKE CYZE OF BELLEVUE

SORRY, I DID NOT WRITE DOWN THE NAME OF THE OWNER OF THIS BEAUTY
TWO-DOOR COUPE.   I THINK IT IS A 1946

 

IF I HAD THE CHOICE OF WHICH ONE I WANTED TO BUY TODAY, THIS IS THE ONE I WOULD HAVE TAKEN.   A '56 CHEVY OWNED BY ROGER MILLER OF BELLEVUE.

AND THIS ONE WOULD BE NICE TO OWN ALSO.   A 1967 CHEVROLET CORVAIR WITH THE ENGINE IN THE REAR.   A BIG SELLER FOR A FEW YEARS, UNTIL LABELED UNSAFE BECAUSE OF THE FRONT GAS TANK EXPLOSIONS.
IT IS PROUDLY OWNED BY TONY MANATT OF DEWITT.   THE BOYS LIKE IT
TOO.

THE LAST WEEK IN JUNE, MAQUOKETA WILL HAVE ANOTHER BIG CAR SHOW.   I'LL HAVE MORE SOON.
