NEWS AND NOTES

Several events on Saturday saw strong participation thanks to temperatures being a bit milder than typical for this time of year.

Horsepower Farms in Powell drew more than 250 cars for its first Cars N’ Condo meetup of the season. Along with the cars the event gave out over 150 donuts and plenty of coffee to keep everyone fueled.

The first Take Back The Strip Cruise of the year in Circleville also had a solid turnout Saturday evening.

On the motorcycle side, the Columbus Vintage Motorcycle Group shifted its meetup from Sunday to Saturday due to Easter and the weather. The move paid off with another strong turnout of bikes.

Update: Mershon's World of Cars:

Just a follow-up to last week’s discussion regarding Mershon’s. Unfortunately, Mershon’s World of Cars has ceased operations.

Springfield Cars & Coffee has received permission to continue utilizing the parking lot for its monthly meet-ups for the foreseeable future, ensuring continuity for the local enthusiast community despite the closure.

Additional details are provided below:

1934 Ford Roadster For Sale:

I don’t normally allow For Sale ads on carshowtalk.com. The site once had a Classifieds section, but it was removed after being underutilized.

I’m making an exception in this case to honor Fred Harris, who was a very active participant in the Central Ohio car community until his passing last year.

His wife is selling his 1934 Ford Roadster, a car that earned numerous awards over the years. If you’re interested, please contact Pamela Harris at 614-403-8489.

That’s it for this week.

Participation is clearly trending in the right direction, with both car and motorcycle events seeing strong turnouts when the weather cooperates. With more consistent spring temperatures hopefully on the way, the calendar—and the crowds—should continue to build in the coming weeks.

Special thanks to Jason Colvin, Horsepower Farms, Sinclair Johnson, Shaun Sanders, and Springfield Cars & Coffee for their contribution to this week's News and Notes.

Until next time, stay safe and keep those wheels rolling.

Spring is officially here, and that means the start of car show season in Central Ohio. The first week of April also kicks off the weekly car and bike listings on carshowtalk.com, running all the way through October. Things typically ease in at first, but by mid-May count on the schedule being packed.

This week’s lineup features a few Cars & Coffee meetups, a swap meet, a park-and-chill, and the first cruise of the season. Time to get those vehicles dialed in—it’s finally time to get out and enjoy the spring weather and reunite with your car buddies.

NEWS AND NOTES

Miller Spring Swap Meet & Car Show:

A windstorm on Friday that knocked out power and even flipped over porta-potties—combined with chilly temperatures that only reached the low 40s on Saturday—didn’t stop the Spring Miller's Swap Meet and Car Show from taking place at the Ross County Fairgrounds in Chillicothe on Saturday, March 14th. The event drew more than 120 vehicles, setting a new spring attendance record.

Here are the top award winners:

Best Import - Steve Adkins

Most Unique - Danny Lewis

Best Truck - Jim Harmon

Best Mopar - Mikę Shorten

Best Ford - Darren Fine

Best GM - Dale Pearce

Nate's Promoter Choice - Scott Thomas

Brian's Promoter Choice - Craig Glass

Best of Show 88 & Newer - Jim Horsley

Best of Show 87 & Older - Terry Bach

Here are a few more beautiful rides that braved the chilly temperatures to make it out to the Miller's swap meet and car show.

Delaware Area Vintage Motorcycle Group:

Several Sunday's in March brought just enough good weather for the Delaware Area Vintage Motorcycle Group to gather at Coastline Coffee in Delaware, Ohio.

On one of those Sundays, the lineup expanded beyond two wheels, as several Morgan sports cars joined the group, adding an extra layer of vintage charm to the meet-up.

Springfield Cars & Coffee:

Springfield Cars & Coffee held its first meet of the season Saturday at Mershon’s World of Cars in Springfield. Despite the chilly early morning temperatures, there was a good turnout to kick off the season.

On a side note, I came across a photo this week showing an empty showroom at Mershon’s. From what I’ve been able to find, the original owner sold the dealership in 2025 after more than 40 years in business. It’s now transitioning to new ownership who has a background in the exotic and luxury car market, so what it ultimately becomes is still up in the air.

That uncertainty also raises questions about the future location of Springfield Cars & Coffee and whether the group will continue to be able to use the dealership as its regular monthly meeting spot.

It’s a short News and Notes this time around, but not unexpected given the unpredictability of March weather in Ohio. Things will be heating up—literally—before we know it.

Special thanks to Jeff Shankle, Jason Colvin, Miller's Swap Meet & Car Show, and Springfield Cars & Coffee for their contribution to this week's News and Notes.

Until next time, stay safe and keep those wheels rolling.
