I saw in our local paper that Friendship Baptist Church is having a FREE car show On the 24th. Starts at 7:00pm. They are supposed to have a car bashing which my son wants to do. I'm thinking of taking him, but I can only go for a couple hours, as I'll have to go to work that night.

 

Here's the details on the show from the Owasso Reporter newspaper online. I'll be in class until about 7pm. I'll probably swing by on the way home to see what's goin on. (FYI, a buddy of mine in Owasso might have his '40 Cheby pickup, blue in color, in the show.)


Drive-in car show at Friendship
Friendship Baptist will host a free show and shine drive-in car show, with judging beginning at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 24 at 14100 E. 86th St. N. Free hog dogs and drinks will be available, as well as a few special trophies and a “bash-a-car” event. All makes and models are welcome to enter the car show. For more information, call 272-2003.

 

I'm thinking of taking my Thunderbird over there. Depends on how long it's supposed to last.

I should be out there with my buddy's 1969 Shelby GT-350. He doesn't have time to take it so he asked me to show it for him.

Hope to see a few of you out there....they will be bashing a couple of old imports too!

Later,

Tim

 

Will you take me out for a spin in that Shelby??


Mike B

 

Absolutely! I'll be looking for you.

 

I'll try to come.

OK, I talked to my buddy last night as I was waxing the '69 GT-350.

Here's what we'll be bringing:

'67 Shelby GT-350 (Seen Here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gal...=86985&width=0 )

'69 Shelby GT-350 (I'll be bringing this one!)

'96 Roush Stage 1 Convertible

'68 Camaro SS Convertible (The only REAL Chebby!)

That won't empty his garage, but that's what is running right now.

Stop out and take a look if you get the chance!

Tim

 

You know, if you need an extra driver--just give me a call!

hehe... I'm gonna be there, though I may be just a couple minutes late because my Acct. class doesn't let out until 6:45 or so (that is unless Tim's friend wants me to drive one of his cars out there... hehe... I'd be on time then!).

STan

 

Tim,

sounds like your friend has a VERY NICE collection of cars. Can't wait to see them. They ALL will put my T-Bird to shame, has it still has it's original 37 year old paint and vinyl roof.

Mike B

 

Hey, the '67 Shelby has 38 year old paint on it!

I can't wait to see your T-Bird.

Tim

 

It was good seeing ya'll, Tim, Mike, Steve, Stan. I was impressed by the turnout and quality of vehicles. Mike that is one sweet T-bird. Thanks for letting me sit in it. Very impressive car. That would be a fun road trip vehicle to take down Route 66 or to the Tulsa Drive In Theater. And Tim, you still had a lot of tread on the rear tires of that GT-350. I don't know if I would have been able to restrain myself in one of those. hehehehee That big Yellow Bronco was clean enough to eat off of. And did ya'll see that amazing white 60 something Ford pickup? Man, that thing was amazing. And the big ol' rims and rubber just made it stand out. Oh, and I know they weren't fords but the two biggest street trucks with monster meats and feets of lift were too cool. Standing at 6'-1" I could not see over the middle of their tailgate at eye level. Just amazing what can be done to a truck. I recognized some of those vehicles from the MidAmerica Car Show and a few local show cars. That was just too cool. I hope ya'll won something Mike and Tim.

 

Sure was glad to see one of those Shelby's win last night. I still want a ride in one eof them.


Thanks for the nice comments for my T-bird. It still needs a lot of work. I didn't win anything, nor did I expect to. It doesn't stand out in peples memories like the Mustangs, Camaros, mid to late Chevy and Fords do. My son and I had fun just walking around and looking at the hard work people have put into their cars. My wife said she could smell raw fuel out the exhaust, so I guess I still have a little carb tuning to do on it.

Mike B

 

Had a great time last night. Sorry it got so late that the Shelby rides didn't happen. (Except for Stan begging for a ride.)

Here's a few pictures from the show:

I don't think the church expected as many cars to turn out but it was a great show!

Later,

Tim

 

Hmm.... somebody needs a good kick in the pants!
