Is on sale this week.
The temperatures were going to dip to the 30's
tonight, we figured that we would not have a very big showing but Linda
& I headed for Old Town just after 3:30 in the latest Cruiser, we said
good-bye to the Corvair on Monday and Hello to a
1967 Dodge Dart 270. This was the
first time out for us in this car. We almost got passed Allan, Gary and
Scotty unrecognized but only for a second when we arrived at 3:40.
Gary's
HHR was parked in it's usual spot.
Bill & Doris
had
their
'79 T-Bird
second spot from the stage.
Dave, arrived in his daily driver
right from his day job.
Chris stopped by to say hello in
'72 Formula 400, family commitments have
kept him busy and he had to head off. We headed up to Flippers early as we waited for more cars
to arrive. Danielle took great car of us on Jane's day off. We met Tina
& Jack in Flippers and invited them to join in with Tina’s '05 Mustang
that is dressed with lights and graphics and don't have Friday night

Wolf Wagon parked next to the
T-Bird when we got back from dinner. James would have his

other regular spectators were in place, Jasmine & Glenda and Jim &
Lori and lots of other familiar faces that I have to learn the names of.
Graham, W4HFG, Carole & Edith
bought coats so that they could enjoy their last night of vacation at
Old Town. Another English family that we met at the Flea-Market on
Sunday came out to Old Town to get another “Dose of Dwight” before going
home to Gloucester on Friday.
"Mustang Mike"
and I would take the stage during the first break, Jasmine helped pick the 50/50 tickets, Cruiser #44 Nancy
Nichols won the $59, Emma stayed home tonight so she didn’t get to
collect the $30 Cruise-A-Matic. Next week it rolls over to $40.
"Cruiser of the Week" went home with Linda & Steve
Butler, Cruiser #16 in her "new" '67 Dodge Dart.
With 22 cars in attendance and Hundred's of Dwight
fans, it was a great night with our friends in our "Home Town". We would
stay for all three sets tonight even though it was the coldest night of
the year so far. Edith was still “bopping” as she was being led to the
car during Dwight’s last song, clutching her scarf and autographed
photograph of
Dwight. Aunt Vi, the
matriarch of the other English family, was wheeled out waving her
autographed inflatable guitar.
Thank You to Old Town for inviting us out every week,
