The Downtown Throwdown

 

The annual Downtown Throwdown was held on a beautiful early autumn day with the main street of Batavia lined with over 100 cars and trucks. The event is held each year to raise funding for the Southwest Ohio VFW Memorial Team. This not for profit organization helps to maintain the final resting places of veterans in the region. This worthy cause and the beautiful weather brought out the likes of a 1924 Ford Model TT, a Chevrolet C10 pick up truck, a 1955 Chevy Bel Air, a Mercury Marauder, my friend's 1963 Studebaker Avanti, a Chevy Corvair (the USA's first popular rear engine car), a 1968 Pontiac GTO, and a 1961 Studebaker Hawk.
