Old Cars, Big Hearts

The Fastiques Rod and Custom Club does an amazing job each October putting on the Pumpkin Run Nationals. This past season they brought over 2500 vehicles, all from 1974 or before, to the Clermont County Fair Grounds to be part of the three day event. And while it's great to have all of these old rides in one place each year the real reason for the show is to raise money for charity. The primary charity is the Shriner's Hospital to whom the Fastiques have donated over $1.1 million over the years. They also donate to others such as the Earth Angel Foundation among others. What raises the money, though, are the cars. Among the beauties on display this past October was this very nice 1941 Oldsmobile, a pair of 1938 Plymouth coupes, a beautiful 1947 Mercury convertible, a 1942 Ford convertible, a Buick Eight, a 1941 Mercury, a 1949 Mercury, and a Ford convertible.
