Hi all--
Still driving the wheels off Betty the Lark, just like I always wanted to! Here are some nifty sightings from the past week or so...
On Thurs Sep 24, two SDCers organized a small cruise-in at a seniors' residence in Burlington--bringing some nostalgia to some folks who might well like to attend cruise nights, but can't. Very cool idea, and I hope we do more of the same! Remember that '59 Lark wagon hulk I ran across last spring near Paris? Well, this '64 GT Hawk was in that same collection and for sale. It now belongs to a gent in Burlington, and the seniors' centre event was its local cruise debut. You can never have too many GTs around...
Sat Sep 26, Fall Waterdown show & swap. Eventually the meet got rained on, but the first half of the day was OK. Among the Studes on site was this lovely '53 Starlight rod I hadn't previously seen. White over midnight blue, Chev mill, what look like Plymouth Roadrunner wheels...what a sweet piece.
Same event, my Lark and a wild late-40s Nash sedan rat rod from Quebec...
Next day Sunday Sep 27 was a wild one: went to church; thence to Paris for a small downtown cruise; to the Hamilton SDC fall BBQ; back to Hamilton for a bell choir practice; back out again for the tail end of the BBQ. Every inch of the way behind the wheel of the Lark. Good ol' Betty...she's a trouper! Here's the Lark with a '59 Olds droptop in Paris.
At the BBQ there was a Stude or two (besides the eight driven in for the event)...'60 Lark droptop project from Iowa...
One of two Champ projects...
'50 Starlight project...
Rare Erskine sedan...
...which was one of two on site!
You just never know what's out there.
Cheers all
