JEFFERSON DAYS CAR SHOW

The 2007 Jefferson Days Car Show

by ROD ICE

The cars were plentiful at Jefferson Days. So were ribs, family attractions, and music performers.

A black 1937 Ford Coupe took best-in-show, owned by Carl Griffith.

Next was a 1956 Pontiac Catalina, painted blue and white. The car was displayed by Bill & Sylvia Braden of Conneaut.

Following that was a yellow 1968 Ford Falcon Futura. It boasted a vintage six-cylinder engine. The car came courtesy of Jack from Hot Wheelz Kruzers.

Then came a 1972 Nova painted brandywine red, owned by Bob & Sandy Kuhar. The car featured a skyroof option, which was very rare for that model year.

A 1955 black Lincoln Capri followed that, owned by Ken & Rose Hope.

Twin VW 'Herbie' models appeared at the show, owned by Chris Hare, Jr.

Lots of vehicles crowded the street.

Finally, a custom Chevrolet dragster piloted by Robby Bates thrilled everyone. It made the most noise when started to leave the show. The car featured race-spec, open headers.

The event offered lots of classic cars against a backdrop of rock music. It was a cheerful celebration of baby-boom culture!
