Event Coverage Quincy, Il Fall Color Run

This is one of, if not the best car events in the midwest area. I've been going for the past 25 years. Anybody else making the drive next week? Stu

 

Sure!...........though it's a very short drive for me........

^^^^That's cheating, for sure Ray. The Mrs. and I usually drive down on Friday a.m. and take the back roads into Quincy. The colors are beautiful.

I usually try to park across from Dame & Hurdle. Beige 37 Ford with Halibrand wheels. Stop and say hi! Stu

 

Will do! Looking forward to it......

Ray

 

Gosh, I didn't mean to get you excited. Stu

 

I didn't know I was ............kept trying to post..........nuthin' happenin'......then I find this!

The HAMB servers hadn't had their coffee (or electronic equivalent) yet when this was going down.

 

Oh!!! I guess I will be there...

 

^^^^^^Oh boy!!! Another "traveler". You guys are fearless when it comes to putting miles on your car! Stop and say hello if you get a minute. Maybe we should have a "mini" meet and greet on Saturday ??

 

I'll be there. Looks like good weather once again.

 

I haven't checked the weather, but I hope you're correct. Have a safe trip. Are you leaving on Friday a.m.?

 

Right now, it kinds of looks like a possible rain on Sunday? You fella's in Quincy need to get busy and do a wind shift.

 

No Problem.........the weather forecasters have not taken into account all the hot air that will be rising in the Quincy area that weekend.....THAT will alter weather patterns.....a man-made climate change!

I forgot to take into account all the bench racing that will be going on. I promise to do my part when I arrive Friday.

 

Tell me about this, sounds interesting

One of the better rod runs this side of the Mississippi. It's free and usually get 7-8 hundred cars. Please note that they are pretty strict on the pre-49 rule.

 

Over the past 20 years I've gone 3-4 times with my Model A's. Always a good time with nice cars in a great town. This year I'll be there again, but probably not going to be able to bring a pre '48. Nonetheless it'll be fun.

 

I and several friends usually drive over from KC Friday morning. I won't have a pre-49 this year but I'll just park outside the show area and still enjoy the show and swap meet. A great year end event in the midwest.

 

Well,....70's on Friday. Let's work on Saturday & Sunday now.

Anybody who has not attended this great event, should really consider it. All proceeds have been going to Camp Callahan, a local charity for children who have disabilities. The Early Tin Dusters do an outstanding job of making everyone feel welcome.

Mrs. Studebaker and I travel down Rt24 on Friday a.m., which is pretty neat this time of the year. Beautiful fall weather, full tank of gas in the '37, and a fantastic destination. How can it get any better? Stu
