kicked off, it looked like rain. (staff photo)
Mayor Tom
George, awarding the Mayor's Choice Award. (staff photo)

by a Chopper Club Member.

Ruth is seated behind the box, Jerry is the guy looking
back in
black with the very cool sunglasses.
Mark T's
Volvo 122, Deb OB's 77 Mini, and a brand new Chevy SSR from
new LMS member and supporter, Fairchild Chevrolet. (staff
photo)
The car was a real crowd draw, Tim from Fairchild kept apologizing
for the move from Lakewood, and telling us how much Bob Fairchild loved
the city.
Rumor is they have a red SSR coming in soon, get your $40,000 ready.
We had a good crowd at the booth all day. Vendors should sign up early for next year! (staff photo)
OK LET'S CHECK OUT SOME CARS
I didn't realize that like dogs, owners sometime look like their cars!
(staff photo)
Cool cars and people having fun as far as the eye can see. (staff photo)
Some cool
cars, the Mayor's Choice Winner can be seen peeking out (staff
photo)
from behind the black Ford with the nose raised. In front was
one of Jim OB's favorites.
This photo
cannot do credit to how high the Ford was raised, and how much
the Mayor's Choice Cadillac was lowered. Both were beautiful. (staff
photo)
It's easy to see why the Fire Department stopped by. Flames were everywhere. (Staff photo)
The name
of the van in front is "FLAMED," while the next van in line
had the
best sounding engine in the whole show. (Staff photo)
Fast floral delivery . (staff photo)
These are
Hot Rods. As was pointed out to me by a member of the Choppers,
"Custom cars are for attracting the woman. Hot Rods are to get
away from them." (Staff photo)
Mark T, a member of LMS checks out the car with the BIG GRILLE. (Staff photo)
Jerry Koenigsmark's
1932 Ford Hot Rod. Holding up the banner in the back are
members of Cleveland's Legendary Choppers. There are no words to describe
how
cool this group is. Over 50 years of dedication to hot rodding and good
fun. (Staff photo)
By midday the sun was shining bright and the party got into full swing. (Staff photo)
POP QUIZ - Is this a Hot Rod or a Custom Car? (staff photo)
The show
featured; cars, new and old, trucks, new and old, motorcycles, new and
old,
music, vendors, and good times for all. (Staff photo)
This Hot
Rod being checked out by LMS member Mark T, was
the epitome of a Hot Rod. The flame job on the rusted body was done
in chalk for added effect.(Staff photo)
What Capsule could have been like 50 years ago.(Staff photo)
