NEWS AND NOTES

Der Dutchman Cruise-In:

The forecast said sunshine and low 80s for Thursday afternoon, but we ended up with sprinkles, gusty winds, and low 70s. Typical Ohio, right? 😅 Even with the weather doing its own thing, the Der Dutchman Cruise-In still pulled in 209 cars, with 11 of those being first-timers. Not bad at all considering the conditions!

Not only did the Buick Dynaflow-equipped car qualify as the most unique vehicle of the evening, but a group of attendees also showed up sporting some equally unique hats. It made for a great mix of automotive history and lighthearted fun—just the kind of atmosphere that keeps these gatherings memorable.

Here are a few more cars from Thursday evening's botched forecast cruise-in.

Friday Night NAPA Cruise-In:

It was a perfect evening for a cruise-in. More than 30 cars turned out for the Friday Night NAPA Cruise-In in Hilliard, Ohio, making the most of the beautiful weather. A nice mix of classics, muscle cars, and European models filled the lot, giving everyone something to check out. The laid-back atmosphere, good conversations, and cool cars made for a great way to kick off the weekend.

Pharisburg UMC Car Show and Cuisine:

With the help of “Big Dawg” and the C-Town Cruisers, the Pharisburg United Methodist Church in Marysville, Ohio, hosted its annual Car Show and Cuisine on Friday evening.

The night had all the right ingredients—good food, classic tunes, and a strong turnout of 54 beautiful rides filling the church grounds. Attendees enjoyed not only the cars but also the chance to gather with friends, enjoy a meal, and listen to vintage favorites that set the perfect backdrop.

Awards were handed out across several categories, including five church awards, a slate of Specialty awards, and the coveted Best of Cruise. This year, that top honor went to Dan Varner and his unrestored 1968 Pontiac GTO, a true survivor that drew plenty of attention throughout the evening.

To capture the atmosphere, Car Show Talk photographer, Jeff Shankle, documented the event, walking the rows of classics and snapping shots of the cars that made this year’s show one to remember.

Our friend, Dale Pearce, and his 1950 Chevy 3100 pickup had another good weekend. Dale's truck took the Best Truck award at the second annual Average Dude's Nationals hosted by the C-Town Cruisers on Saturday. On Sunday, his truck received the Peoples Choice Award at the Buckeye Lake Yacht Club Show. The Yacht Club registered 45 cars. Not bad considering the weather on Sunday.

The Average Dude's Nationals Best of Show winner was Charlie Seymour of Chillicothe with a 1967 Nova SS.

Those of you that spend time on Facebook have probably seen lots of photos from the Goodguys Summit Racing Nationals held at the Ohio Expo Center this weekend. Rumor has it Jeff Shankle has been diagnosed with a severe case of camera phone finger after taking 450 photos at the event. Jeff was last seen icing his hand.

I won't bombard you with more photos from Goodguys, but I would like to point out something awesome that happened there this weekend. If you've ever attended an Empty Pockets Cruisers show, you may have seen Valeria Dresbach running around. She's an active member of the club and plays an important role in making their shows run smoothly. A big shout-out goes to Valeria's mom, Julie Hendrix, and her husband Dave Miller. Their 1971 Oldsmobile 442 won the Goodguys Restored Award. Congrats!
