Some Old and Some New At the Back the Heroes Rumble Car Show

Weather, especially early rain, hampered the turnout at the 6th Back the Heroes Rumble Car Show. Held on the campus of West Clermont Schools and established to raise money for various fallen first responders and military personnel, the show had in previous years brought out as many as 300 cars and trucks. This year, though, only a little more than 70 turned out. Still, there was an interesting variety of old and new in the school parking lot. Among them was a 1964 Chevy II. The "Deuce" was Chevrolet's basic compact car first introduced in 1962. It lasted through five generations until 1979. The Deuce was essentially made to compete against the Ford Falcon when the Chevy Corvair couldn't out sell their cross-town rival. For the first generation Deuce Chevy offered a trim called Nova which would go on to become a line unto itself. This 1964 Chevy II is the two door hardtop Nova trim example. Also on display were a 1955 Oldsmobile 88 in Holiday trim, a 1964 Chevy C10 pick up truck, a restomod 1939 Chevy Thriftmaster pick up, a couple of new Audi A5 models, a newer Chevy S-10 pick up.
