BENNIGAN'S #3 - 2026 (The One With Family)

When we knew the dates Jeff and Tera were coming to Iowa, we checked the schedule Bennigan's was having their car night that week.  That set everything in motion for a family get-together.  Jeff couldn't believe Bennigan's was still around.

What we couldn't predict was the heat continuing and it definitely affected the turnout.  We were hoping for a full lot to show Jeff what we get the see.

It was a fortunate night for an unexpected reason.  We parked next to Kris Koehler and his '39 Ford.  I was talking about things I need fixed on it and mentioned the glass and my plan, and he said he could do it all.  Window, brake light check, etc.  Gave me his number.

We had a fun dinner and topped it off with ice cream and a brownie!  The small turnout was fine.  A nice evening of hanging out.











Joyriding!





This guy rolled in with his parents 1957 Ford and Jeff invited him over by us.  AMAZING car.

BENNIGAN'S #2 - 2026

 It was hot last night.  Our plan was to sit tight and let people come to us.  Even tried our portable fan.  Visited with a guy next to us with a cool 1947 International truck.  Then I spotted Gary Pullen's Merc and we went over to visit and found Sandy and finally Gary.  Ran into Cory, Kayla, Adam and Todd as well.


Met a guy with a 1947 International cab on a different frame.  Had a 6-inch chop on roof but more importantly, painting by Jim Hetlzer who did our pinstriping.  He texted Jim a picture of our car's painting and Jim replied he pinstriped our car at the 2008 Good Guys!














Cory gave Mary Lout a callout on Facebook

Best of the rest




















I told Greg I wouldn't forget a picture of his truck this time!
