Week 28, 2024 | 57 Shows | Fins & Films | Caffeine & Octane | Rusty Eyeball | Swillco Swap Meet
July 8 - July 14 | Welcome to another great week of car shows in Minnesota. This week brings a new high of 57 shows scheduled for the next 7 days and more sunny days in row than we've seen all year.
Welcome Show Junkies
Today we wish a Happy Birthday to the Beatles drummer Ringo Starr born 1940.
So this is America. They must be out of their minds.
Imagine the year is 1940 …
Elvis Presley is just 5 years old …
Swing, Big Band Jazz, Latin and Country Music are popular …
Rock-n-Roll music is another 10+ years away …
Gas is 11 cents a gallon …
The average new car prices are under $1000 …
There are no seat belts in cars …
And the 1940 Ford Deluxe with it’s Art Deco styling is brand new …
In a way it seems like life was simpler back then …
And sadly the modern day holds few remnants of the past.
Remnants that remind us of how quickly time passes.
In a way we are very fortunate.
We get to see and experience a little of the past at our classic car shows.
Shows where classic car owners gather.
Driven by the desire to collect, restore and share a bit of history.
Their history and our history.
This week there are 57 opportunities to step back in time.
And get some exercise at the same time.
And when you need a break find a shady spot and watch the cars cruise on by.
So toss a comfy folding chair in the car and head out to your local classic car show and enjoy the sights and sounds of the past.
It’s relaxing …
It’s entertaining …
And it’s FREE for spectators.
And, after a long holiday week with the family it’s a great time to kick back and enjoy the scenery.
So get out and take in a classic car show this week.
Because before you know it 74 years will have raced by …
That’s it for this week and Thank You for joining the Show Junkies.
