BLUE STAR MOTHERS OF AMERICA - 2022 HOT RODS FOR HEROES CAR SHOW

 We ventured out to our second car show Saturday.  I didn't hear the final count but you will see from the pictures quite a few cars out there and for a good cause.  No award this time and a good reminder that's not what it's about...although I do have a shelf ready 😄

We parked next to Bill and Maggie again.  What made the day fun is we celebrated Bill's 75th birthday!  And they had their granddaughter Cora with them.

Here are some of the cars...the '57 Chevy belongs to Gary and Janet Sanger of Urbandale.  Gary is the current president of the Iowa Street Rod Association.  He fabricated the pedal car himself.

















We did see a very special car to Cindy at the show.  Her dad had a 1966 Ford Fairlane GTA (the "A" stands for automatic).  We didn't meet the owner...he lives in West Des Moines though.  What's special about the car is that it's the same year, model and most likely color of the car he owned.  This car was stock so fun to peek inside and it brought back memories for Cindy.

Here is the only picture we have found of her dad's car...
