2011 Brookdale Place Display

by Nell O.

What a great day NAR members had at Brookdale Farms on Saturday, Oct 29! There was a great turnout of NAR members and others with old cars and there were lots of spectators. Everyone seemed to enjoy the hot dogs, RC colas, and moon pies...and the cars, of course! And you could hear comments like: "I remember the rumble seat...I did not like to ride in it because it made a mess of my hair."

John Malone and Nate Adams from WRSA Radio provided great 50s and 60s music that Bob and Luci danced to and Nate asked automobile trivia questions giving folks a chance to win prizes. As M.D. Smith said "The DJ from 96.9 FM sure added great atmosphere with 50's and 60's music and theme songs like "My 409" by the Beach Boys. The trivia questions he asked were fun also. The 409 was a Chevy Impala SS, and I had forgotten that. The Batman car was a Lincoln Futura. I never had any idea of that."

NAR members attending were: Wayne S. (1931 Cadillac), Ed H. (1931 Willys), M.D. and Judy S. (1937 Plymouth), Bob and Luci B. (1941 Cadillac), Randy and Nell O. (1949 Hudson), Ron and Martha D. (1950 Buick), Gene and Russell K. (1964 Buick Riviera), Russell and Sherry L. (1975 Corvette), and Terry O. (1976 Lincoln Continental). Ask Ron about his movie poster given to him by member Jim M.
