A Show Raising Money For St. Jude's Research

 

St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital was founded by entertainer Danny Thomas and named after St. Jude Thaddeus, the patron saint of hopeless causes. But St. Jude's is anything but hopeless as it has been successfully treating and making life saving discoveries since 1962. Located in Memphis, TN, the hospital never charges for treating an ill child. That alone makes it a worthy cause to support which is what the Cincy Cool Car Club did this past summer with their annual car show. Held on a hot, sticky day at Village Green in Fairfield, the event drew in around 150 cars and trucks. Among them was a fantastic 1966 Oldsmobile 442, a C2 Chevy Corvette, a Chevrolet Camaro Super Sport, a Chevy Nova, a Ford Thunderbird, a 1967 Ford Mustang convertible, and a 1968 Chevy Camaro Rally Sport.

Cool Cars In Village Green

Village Green in Fairfield was the site of this year's Cincy Cool Car Club Car Show. On a bright, hot, sticky day the event, which was part of the town's Blues Fest, brought in about 150 cars and trucks. They were all there to help raise money for St. Jude's Children's Hospital Research. Among the vehicles on hand was a beautiful 1960 Studebaker Hawk, a 1955 Mercury Montclair, a MGB, a 1959 Edsel Ranger, a 1965 Ford Mustang, a Chevrolet Tahoe, a DeLorean DMC, and a Buick Grand National.

Back To the Cincy Cool Car Club Car Show

Today brings us back to the Cincy Cool Car Club Car Show. Held in Fairfield's Village Green on a very hot day, this event which benefited St. Jude's Children's Research saw 150 cars and trucks participate. Among them was a 1934 Dodge four window coupe that has been given some modern upgrades, a 1932 Ford built to emulate the hot rod in American Graffiti, a 1967 Chevy Malibu station wagon, a 2012 Dodge Charger SRT Super Bee, a Chevrolet Camaro, a 1965 Ford Mustang convertible, a Chevy Corvette, and a rat rod that started life as a 1941 Chevrolet.

Random Cars Part 3

If you've seen the blog the past two days you know that I'm posting photos of random, yet old and cool, cars that I came across outside of car events during last year. If you haven't seen those posts, I suggest you go back and check them out. Today I'm wrapping up these random car posts with a Mercury Sable, a Porsche Cayman 718 GTS, a Porsche 911, a Mercury Grand Marques, a different Grand Marques, a Saab 93, and a rare Saab 95 station wagon. Please feel free to let me know what you think of these random cars by leaving a comment (no ads, please) or by dropping me an email at turnerbudds@yahoo.com.

Random Cars Part 2

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, throughout the year I come across some pretty cool cars outside of organized old car events. So naturally, when ever it's possible, I pull out my phone (I don't always carry a Nikon with me) and snap a picture. Yesterday I started posting those photos and will wrap it up tomorrow. But for today here is a Chevrolet Chevelle in the Malibu trim (yes, the Malibu started out as just a trim line), some kind of kit car that I was unable to identify, an abandoned Ford Galaxie, a Ford Model A that's parked outside of a museum in Louisville, KY, a Ford hot rod, an Edsel that's seen better days, and a Mercedes Benz 450 SL.

Random Cars

 Throughout the year I manage to stumble across some pretty cool cars that aren't part of an organized show. Usually I see them in parking lots when the owners are taking them out and enjoying them. When possible I go ahead and take a photo and now, as we're inching into the new year, I think it's a good time to go ahead and post them. For this group I have a 1937 Chevy Master, a 1952 Mercury, a poorly shot Buick LaSabre, a Buick Roadmaster, a Chevrolet Camaro Z28, and a Chevy Corvette.

Wrapping Up Collection 21

Collection 21 is an amazing place to visit. This collection of about 260 cars and trucks is owned by one man who has opened it up to the general public two days a week for a nominal donation to an organization that helps find housing for those in need in Northern Kentucky. Today is the last post from this group of amazing automobiles. If you haven't already, go back and search out the previous posts. As always, let me know what you think by either leaving a comment (no ads, please) or by dropping me an email at turnerbudds@yahoo.com. Today we start with a 1949 Oldsmobile 88. Also we have a 1936 Olds Series F sedan, a 1950 Packard sedan, a 1952 Studebaker Commander Regal, and a 1951 Chrysler Newport along with a friendly reminder from the owner.
