VFW - TRUNK OR TREAT

 We went to our first Trunk or Treat last night at the VFW.  Sunny but it got cool real quick and we left around 6:20.  Fun to see the kids and to see how some of the car owners decorated for the event.  Cindy went as a fox and was in her element with the little ones.














If you look close below you will see Cindy's fox tail 😃

SUGAR SHACK #4

The car season is winding down as we get into October.  A few car shows left and roll-ins continue through the end of the month...so we wanted to get out.  Smaller car turn out but fun with the regulars and we did meet some new people.  Some of the pictures below were taken by Ed Mills and posted on Facebook.  Jane Ferguson is the one who shared them with us...the rest are mine.



We saw the '54 Chevy below a week ago in Johnston but it was pulling out as we were pulling in.  This is Cindy's new favorite car 😀.  Great couple and long time street rodders.




The man and woman to the left own the yellow Chevy.  Bill recognized them from eating at McDonald's 😄


I'm never sure what I'm caught saying or doing but always with the hands...


Tom and Josie Moburg came out to join the fun.




The pic below is from Ed Mills...a nice capture of our interior...


Bill Ferrell's mean Falcon


Larry and Jane Ferguson's '49 Plymouth



One of Walt Johnson' many cars...a nice '32 Vicky


The Mercury picture below is not from last night but just showing Gary Pullen's usual car we see.  Gary is president of the Concrete Cruizers and a 50 year veteran of cars.  He gave me some very helpful advice on getting Mary Lou ready for winter and gave me a another Newton name to talk to.  Gary knew Gordy.


This is what Gary drove in last night...a Roush Mustang


A sweet '70 Mustang.  Car from Oklahoma.  Owner moved here from South Dakota.



Jessie is one of the singers we hear at the VFW and Sugar Shack and I learned this is his Monte Carlo...the plates seem obvious now.

1ST "PROFESSIONAL" PICS

 Amy paid for a family photo session last Sunday  at Greenwood Park.  We drove the car down to sneak in a few pics with Mary Lou...


LAST MINUTE DECISION - ROLL-IN AT PATHWAY CHURCH IN JOHNSTON

 Another beautiful evening Friday and got the call from Maggie and Bill that they were heading over to Pathway Church in Johnston.  Smaller crowd but seeing many familiar faces and met some new people.  A few were talking up Winterset as the place to be as part of the Covered Bridge Festival Oct 9...we shall see if we make our first trip out of town.





Fellow Dodge...I'm guessing '34.




Hello, Mary Lou!

HELLO MARY LOU!

 This blog is dedicated to our "new" 1955 Dodge Coronet Lancer.  We have been waiting 35 years for this moment.  A true car guy fr...
