Each year on Labor Day the small town of North College Hill plays host to the Headin' For the Hill Car Show.

Worth More Than Just Money

Here's a great article in today's Hagerty Newsletter that illustrates that owning and even working on a collector car is worth more than mere money. In some cases, you may even lose money but that isn't always the point. Take a look at this great piece and let me know if you've ever had any similar experiences.

A 'Rookie' Show

This was my first time attending the Erlanger United Methodist Church Car Show. The event had been held three previous years and I'm not sure why I haven't made my way down to Erlanger in the past. I'm glad I made it this time despite the stifling heat and humidity. On display was a beautiful and rare Avanti II (this is a post Studebaker Avanti), a Ford Mustang, a Chevy Corvette, a Ford Sunliner, a 398 Chevelle, another Mustang, a Monte Carlo, and a 1971 Chevelle.

4th Annual Erlanger Methodist Church Car Show


The 4th Annual Erladger Methodist Church Car Show held its event under mostly clear blue skies but in what would quickly become sweltering heat and humidity. Despite the fact that the temperature felt like 93 degrees with 60% humidity, more than 50 owners filled the front and much of the back lot of the church. Among those rolling into the lot was a 1955 Chevy 210, a Ford street rod, a work in progress custom pick up, a Camaro, a C3 Vette, another Camaro, a much newer Corvette, and a Ford Fairlane.
