While visiting my old friend Dave Blanck this past week (the "deposed in the 2009 GM bankruptcy" Brownsburg Chevrolet dealer) at his new employer's dealership in Avon IN south of us, he reminded me of the dealership's Community Day coming up today (Saturday, September 30, 2017). He said there was no charge to bring a car and, in fact, participants bringing a collector car for their on-site show would be given a free meal ticket for their choice of lunch from one of the two food trucks they'd have on site...and all the soft drinks and cold bottled water they care to drink all day.
Now we're talking some serious CASO accommodations there, eh?
Anyway, I didn't ask for any special parking place, but was directed to "the point" upon arrival. It will likely be a temperate day in Hades before this image is repeated:
A gorgeous day, too; a perfect fall day. 'Didn't win anything and didn't expect to, but First Prize among all the cars (maybe 50 or so) was the usual trophy plus a $500 Gift Certificate from Direct Diamonds! Woo-hoo!
I was heartened to see that pretty Cameo Coral (goldish) 1959 Impala Sport Sedan in the picture. About 25 years ago, I had seen the car when it was for sale in our area; an unusually-nice, well-preserved car that had seen a little paint work, but not much. I lost track of it and often wondered what happened to it.
Today, I inquired of the current owner at the show how long he had had it. He said, "a couple years" and verified where he had bought it, about the location I remembered from 25 years ago. 'Good to see that it didn't get away from the area; it's really a nice car. BP
