Good Evening Car Buddies,
Well, the season began today. A huge success!
I'm sure all of you who were at the 46th Mendon Dust Off today will agree.
The weather was great, and so were the people.
They ran out of the 450 dash plaques with in the first hour. We would estimate there were 750+ cars in attendance. Lots of Midwest Kustoms and Rod Benders members were there.
Janet & son Jeff Bricker were there and bought the 1950 yellow ford Little Darlin....Cliffs favorite car.
It was nice to see it out on the road again.
Clayton & Dorothy Stevens were there and brought their 1951 Ford Victoria black with gold scallops and the car is for sale if you are interested in a 51 Ford .
See attached pictures.
Richard Lyons & Bill Crotty, Jay Rantz, Gary Tilly and a numerous amount of other members were there enjoying the show.
It was nice to see many of you there and renew old friendships; as well always, meet new car people.
We had our two youngest grandchildren with us so we had our hands full, but we had a great time,
This Thursday, will be the first Howe Cruise In, at the Towne Square Park in Howe, IN
