For years the Rides On Monmouth show in Newport was one of the biggest and most highly anticipated shows of the year. The pandemic closed it down last year and the organizers decided, for safety reasons, to not schedule it for this year. But various circumstances arose, including an unsuccessful fundraiser for a favored charity, and the decision was made to hold another show in this historic town and call it Wheels On Monmouth. The show was a huge success with over 400 cars rolling in and lining the main drag as well as various side streets and lots. Among those on display was my friend Don's newly purchased Studebaker Avanti, a car he told me he had been searching out for quite a while. Also on Monmouth was a 1978 Chevy Nova, a concours quality 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T, a 1969 Coronet R/T convertible, a first generation Ford Thunderbird, a beautiful Sunliner, and a 1956 Ford Victoria.
