Fernbank Park Played Host To the 34th Rollin' On the River Charity Car Show

 

Fernbank Park sits on the banks of the Ohio River and is the perfect spot for a car show. In this case, as in years past, it was the location for the 34th Annual Rollin' On the River Charity Car Show. The event, sponsored by the Delhi Kiwanas and their Boy Scout troupe raises money to support a number of children's charities for neighboring communities. This past summer's show saw about 300 cars and trucks totally pack the park. Among the ones on hand was a Plymouth Belvedere, a Pontiac Fiero, a Pontiac Trans Am, a Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, another Chevy Monte Carlo, a Chevy Camaro, and a 1961 Chevy Impala.

Customs Came Rollin' On the River

When a car event draws about 300 vehicles you are sure to get some customs in the mix. That was the case with the 34th Annual Rollin' On the River Charity Car Show held in beautiful Fernbank Park right on the shores of the Ohio River. Raising money for the Delhi Kiwanas and Boy Scouts as well as numerous children's groups in neighboring communities, this event has become a mid-summer staple for many folks in the region. Here are just some of the amazing customs and rods that were on hand that day.

Cadillac Did Some Rollin'

Cadillac is one of the oldest automobile companies in America. Founded in 1902, only three other firms, including Oldsmobile, Buick, and Autocar Company, were ahead of them. It quickly established itself as one of, if not the, top luxury brand in the country. It was purchased by General Motors in 1909 but has maintained its luxury status throughout its history. Several exquisite examples were on hand for the 34th Annual Rollin' On the River Charity Car Show held in Fernbank Park, right on the Ohio River. Among them was a 1952 Series 62 as well as models from the 1960s and 1970s.

Back To Rollin' On the River

The 34th Annual Rollin' On the River Charity Car Show was, as always, a big success. Held on a hot, humid summer day in beautiful Fernbank park, the show saw about 300 cars and trucks roll out to support the Delhi Kiwanas and Boy Scouts as well as numerous children's charities in neighboring communities. Among the cars on hand was a Pontiac Trans Am, a Ford Torino convertible, a Pontiac Firebird, a 1962 Ford Falcon, a Shelby Cobra kit car, and a Chevy Camaro Super Sport.

Wrapping Up Freaky Tiki

 

Freaky Tiki was the name the Rollin' Jokers Car Club gave their fifth annual car show and it was quite a success. Over 120 cars and trucks filled beautiful Sycamore Park in Batavia including a 1967 Volkswagen Beetle, a C3 Chevrolet Corvette, a Pontiac Le Mans convertible, an Oldsmobile 442, a work in progress Chevy Malibu convertible, a Chevy Nova being towed by a very friendly puppy, a Ford Fairlane 500, and an all original 1963 Plymouth Belvedere. As always, feel free to let me know what you thought of the vehicles at this show by either leaving a comment (no ads, please) or by dropping me an email at turnerbudds@yahoo.com.

Trucks At Freaky Tiki

When an open event draws over 120 vehicles there are bound to be a good variety on hand. The 5th Annual Rollin' Jokers Car Club show called Freaky Tiki had just that. Part of that variety was a nice selection of trucks. Among them was a 1970 GMC Sierra, a Chevrolet C 10, a Dodge Power Ram, another Dodge Ram, a Jeep, another GMC, a restomod Chevy, and a Ford.

Mustangs Got A Little Freaky Tiki

Everyone knows the story of the Ford Mustang, how it was basically built from the parts bin of the Falcon to appeal to a younger market and how it was beaten by days by the Plymouth Barracuda to officially be the first pony car. Still, Barracudas aren't ponies and mustangs are. Perhaps that is why there are usually a nice selection of 'Stangs at car events. The Freaky Tiki, 5th Annual Rollin' Jokers Car Club event held in Sycamore Park in Batavia was no exception. Here are the Mustangs that were among the over 120 cars and trucks on display that day.
