Perfect Weather In Middletown

For example here is a C3 Chevy Corvette, a 1955 Bel Air, a Ford Model A based street rod, a couple of different iterations of the Camaro, a Fox bodied Ford Mustang, and a Chevy S 10 pick up truck.

 

Heading Back To Middletown

Weather and high fuel prices are just two of the issues that have been raining havoc down on the area's car show scene. Regular followers of this blog know that when a show comes around I'll blog about it for a week, maybe two and then save leftover photos to post once the season is over. This year I've had to dip into those savings early in order to keep the blog afloat. So today we're heading back to Middletown and the 39th Annual Mother's Day Car Show sponsored by the Antioch Shrine. Among the more than 200 cars on display for this gem of a show was a 1957 Chevy Bel Air, a Camaro Super Sport, a custom Ford pick up truck, a tricked out Ford street rod, a Chevrolet pick up, an El Camino, and another Chevy light duty truck.

Wrapping Up Lawrenceburg....For Now

 Packing over 1000 vehicles to any show is very impressive. To do it in only the sixth year of the event is all but unheard of. That's what's happened with the Annual Cruisin' To A Cure For ALS show in Lawrenceburg. This will be the last post from this show, at least for now, as I have well over a month's material still to blog. Today we have a 1974 Chevy Econoline van, a 1971 Impala, a 1955 Oldsmobile Holiday 88, an Impala, a 1966 Ford Fairlane, a 1986 Monte Carlo, and a 1965 Mercury station wagon.

Camaros Could Be Seen In Lawrenceburg

 Match the unprecidented success of the Ford Mustang with the brutal pounding Chevrolet was taking on the safety issues involving the Corvair, and the Bowtie had to do something. What they did was introduce the Camaro. Debuting in September, 1966 as a 1967 model, the Camaro. While not as massive a hit as the Mustang, Chevy got their pony car success with the Camaro. The Camaro has long been a car event staple and there were plenty on hand for the 6th Annual Cruisin' To A Cure For ALS show in Lawrenceburg. Hre are some of them starting with a first generation 1967 model.
