Friday again so we cleaned up
our T-Bird and headed for Old-Town. The weather was great and Bill Hunter had
already arrived with his patriotic 2010 truck. Stan was out with his 77 Pacer
but Maryann did not feel up to coming out yet. Lee and Dave welcomed us in at
five and we headed for the Steakhouse on the corner. The cruisers were coming in
as we walked around. George and George with their 86 Cutlass and Tony had the
Corvette. Ken and Audrey and Bob and Norma had their 2006 Mustangs in their
favorite places by the stage. We saw Ramon with his 2006 Mustang and Monchito
with the 2006 Chrysler.
We met a nice couple who were visiting from Rhode Island, Roland and Edie, they
are car buffs and stopped by to see what Old-Town has to offer. They belong to
the Northeast Hemi Owners Association. This is their first visit to Old-Town and
they promised us they would follow us on Steve's web site.
Under the stairs gang were all in place, the dancers were there waiting to dance
and the regular cruisers which include, Pep and Nancy, Lori, Lynn and Nilda,
(Pablo said, Nilda brought him out, but he drove). We noticed Carlene and Alan
and Pat and probably some more that we did not see. It was good to see Joe out
tonight. We also met Tom and Susie Coupe who were out visiting with the
cruisers. Tom had been under the weather and his cruising truck isn't ready for
cruising yet.
Ken Keel had his 1978 International, he also has a 76 International which he
brings most of the time. His friend Charlie joined him later. Ken and Sharyn
Dodge had their 78 Ford F100 with them tonight. Michael was there with 2003
Dodge Viper.
Felix and his nice looking Scorpion and Cecil and his 1985 Silverado truck. We
saw Alfonso Soto coming with his 1986 Cadillac. A 1978 Lincoln Mark V was
spotted but did not see the owner.
Glenn and Stephanie are cruisers of the month for November. They had their
Shelby GT Mustang out tonight. They also had a Shelby GT Guitar on display in
their cruiser. Glenn told us Ford and Shelby got together and had 200 of these
guitars made. They are not available anymore. This guitar was signed by a rock
star, Don Mancuso who played with Lou Gramm, Don played lead guitar. Glenn and
Stephanie also have a 2008 Shelby GT. They made 219 of these and signed by
Carroll Shelby and a 2005 Mustang GT. Bill and his 79 Olds was his guest
tonight, to share the honored spot.
Sean Rogers had his 2005 Nissan XTerra SE on the bricks tonight. He has been
cruising since 04. There also was a 1987 Pontiac Fiero but did not see the
owner.
Toby, Bob and Bert and Laverne had their PT'S on block 4. Jon and Angie had the
Pontiac and Chuck and Jade had the Camaro.. Billy had the HHR. Mike had his
Sonoma and Stephanie and Seth with him. Andy had the 79 Cadillac and Ed had the
83 Mustang. George Pennachi had his 2005 Yukon CXL.
As you know we have grown considerably in the last couple of years. Part of the
reason is this little paper that Steve and Linda publish weekly. This and a lot
more is on their web site which is watch by over 30 countries worldwide. They
are also ham radio enthusiasts which gets the news out. Another reason for our
growth is Allan and the great staff we have to keep things in order and see that
we have a safe cruise. Without our sponsors and Old-Town itself we could not do
all of this. We don't want to forget our spectators that come out to enjoy these
cruises. Remember every cruiser is important. Thanks to all of you.
Our Cruise-O-Matic was $400.00 tonight but no takers. The 50/50 was $39.00 and
went home with Jose. There were 188 registered cruisers out tonight.
See you all next week.
