VALLEY CLASSIC 9TH ANNUAL CAR SHOW (500+ CARS/TRUCKS)

 Year two for this show.  Last year was a good show, but we got the news about Diane asking for hospice early in the day so we had a cloud over us the rest of the show.  This year was important to get through to the other side of one of many reminders of last August.

They said over 400 last year and over 500 this year.  They have more room but really hard to see and get to everything.  Lunch was great and we ate inside and visited with a nice young couple.

Game Day!


We met up with Jerry and Cindy Tonneson (Ankeny) at Merle Hay Mall and caravaned in.


A great sign...I wish we would have seen on the way in.  That would mean we came in the usual way.  We got there around 8:35ish for a 9am show and they were already funneling people around the building on the (still wet) grass.  We went way around to the back a whole new way.


Our canopy is pretty good-sized but we made this work at an angle.







Jerry's '32 is all-steel. He's owned it 30 years.



The guy is out of Chariton.  He brought (2) 1947 Cadillacs!  Both in Hollywood condition.



Here is the other one...

1935 Auburn Speedster.  See another picture below for a comparison on how low the profile is.






John and Cindy from Park Church with their 1957 Pontiac Safari



























This is what I called the "North 40".  They did not park cars here last year.


This guy restored his grandfather's truck that was once used to harvest wheat in Kansas.

We saw this 1964 Merc last year
