Week 52 : December 25 - December 31, 2023
For the love of Mercurys ... A rare opportunity to own unique cars ... And a winter swap meet ...
Welcome Show Junkies
With outdoor temperatures in the 50’s and rain this year may go down in history. As if the Great Recession and the pandemic weren’t enough disruption for the start of the 21st century. On the brite side there are 25 weeks to finish your project (or buy another) before Minnesota’s premier car show weekend at the State Fairgrounds, Back to the 50’s.
And for those who prefer to buy a finished project car there is still time. The Barret-Jackson Auction is scheduled for January 20 - January 28, 2024 in Scottsdale Arizona. A great time to escape winter and enjoy a car show. For those of us who can’t escape this winter we are in luck as Barret-Jackson Youtube channel provides a quick glimpse of these rare and iconic vehicles.
This weeks feature FaceBook group is for the Mercury fans out there. These highly desirable and customized cars are known the world over and for good reason, they are beautiful cars. A quick visit to the Crazy about Mercurys group reveals a collective knowledge and love for these iconic cars with loads of great Mercury car photos. If you are searching for a Mercury, need parts, guidance or just love the looks of these cars it’s worth a visit to the group.
Something new this week is a “Save the Date” feature. The goal is to give a heads-up notice for events of special interest, which is pretty much any local show, meet up or event for car enthusiast during the winter months. This weeks notice is for an indoor swap meet in February organized by the Gopher State Timing Association.
And finally a quick note and thank you to all subscribers. The Show Junkies newsletter first launched in late October of this year and continues to grow at a rapid pace. Considering the fact that Minnesota winters are when classic cars are stored the growth is inspiring.
Thank you for subscribing, reading and sharing the Show Junkies Newsletter!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
