A Lot of Mustangs At the All-Ford Car Event

Who would have imagined that there would be a lot of Ford Mustangs at an All-Ford car show sponsored by the Tri-State Mustang Club? Well, everyone. And that's what happened at this year's All-Ford event. Sadly, the weather was pretty iffy with some on and off showers and only a little more than 40 vehicles showed up. Still, in addition to the Mustangs there was a 1967 F 100 pickup truck and a 1964 Falcon.

Tri-State Mustang Club Hosts All-Ford Show

 

The Tri-State Mustang Club hosted its annual All-Ford car show recently. Usually, this show fills a parking lot but this year, sketchy weather and some on again off again sprinkles kept the attendance down to just over 40 vehicles. Among them was a handful of Mustangs and even a Fusion.

 

The All Ford Show

 

Earlier this year I went to an all GM cars show and so when the All Ford show came around, I felt obligated to attend. Unfortunately, threatening weather and even some light rain kept the attendance way down over previous years. In all, just over 40 people braved the elements including a well-used Ford F 250 pickup truck that has just about every option imaginable. Also on hand were a few Mustangs from different generations and, smack dab in the middle of them was a Pinto.

Wrapping Up Rollin' On the River For Now

 

In order to try to keep somewhat up to date with the shows, today I am wrapping up my coverage of the 36th Annual Rollin' On the River Car Show. The event, held at beautiful Fernbank Park on the banks of the Ohio River, is hosted by the Delhi Kiwanis Club and raises money for a number of youth-based charities in the region. For today we're looking at a 1975 AMC Javelin, a Chevrolet Chevelle, a 1969 Plymouth Road Runner, a 1963 Ford Galaxie owned and restored by the Delhi Police Historical Association, an Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds, a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner, and a 1963 Chevy Greenbriar van. As always, let me know what you think of this show and the cars on display. Feel free to leave a comment (no ads, please) or drop me an email at turnerbudds@yahoo.com.

Corvettes Joined in to go Rollin' On the River

 

With over 400 cars and trucks taking part in the 36th Annual Rollin' On the River Car Show held in Fernbank Park by the Delhi Kiwanis, there was little doubt that the Chevrolet Corvette would be well represented. In fact, the show traditionally has a section of the park set aside for the Vettes, right up front where most people first come in. Here are just some of the Corvettes that showed up to help raise money for a number of local youth-based charities. 

Some Came Truckin' On the River

Yes, there was some truckin' at the 36th Annual Rollin' On the River Car Show in beautiful Fernbank Park. Sponsored by the Delhi Kiwanis, the event raised money for a number of youth-based charities in the area. With over 400 vehicles showing up on a cool, cloudy day, there were quite a few trucks that showed up to take part. Among them was a 1962 Chevy C10, a 1954 Ford F100, a Ford Bronco Ranger XLT, a 1965 Chevy C10, a Toyota, an old Ford F3, a Ford Bronco XLT, and a well-used Chevy C10.

Pontiac Went Rollin' On the River

 

The history of Pontiac is somewhat unique in the pantheon of American automobiles. To understand why the company was started on must understand the philosophy of General Motors at the time. Back in the 1920s, GM wanted to have a car brand that they thought would fit every demographic group. Those groups ranged from the luxury of Cadillac to the bare bones entry level Chevrolet. Sitting above Chevy on the sales pyramid was Oakland Automobiles but there was a significant price gap between the two and so Pontiac, named for the city in Michigan where it would be headquartered, was formed as a companion to Oakland in order to fill that niche. The thing is, from its inception in 1926, Pontiac vastly outperformed Oakland and by 1931 GM decided to shutter the doors on Oakland. Pontiac would continue until 2010 when GM was in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. A lot of people still adore the Pontiac line, especially those from the muscle car era, and so there were quite a few on hand for the 36th Annual Rollin' On the River Car Show sponsored by the Delhi Kiwanis in order to raise money for a number of youth charities in the area. Among those on hand was a 1966 GTO, a Solstice convertible, a 2009 Solstice with the hard top on, a Trans Am, a 1968 GTO, and an Aero Coupe 2+2.
