NEWS AND NOTES

Der Dutchman Cruise-In:

The evening was a little breezy, but otherwise provided great weather for the cruise-in. Attendance reflected those favorable conditions, with 371 vehicles on hand compared to 257 the previous week — an increase of 114 cars. There were also 13 first-time participants this week.

The Pleasant Valley Fire District EMS added a little extra excitement during the evening. Fortunately, the individual who required medical attention was feeling better and did not have to leave the cruise-in.

Two vehicles stood out during the evening. The first was this beautifully restored brass-era Hudson touring car, which garnered a great deal of attention and offered spectators a glimpse into the early days of the automobile.

The second was this heavily modified Chevrolet S-10 street machine, featuring a massive roots-style supercharger, race-inspired interior, and enough attitude to get everyone’s attention as it rolled into the cruise-in.

Next week is the annual London Cobra Show. If the weather is good, the cruise-in could showcase 50 to 60 Cobras during the evening. It’s always one of the most anticipated nights of the season and a rare opportunity to see so many Cobras gathered in one place.

Finally, some sad news to report. Longtime Der Dutchman Cruise-In participant Kenny Davis passed away on Saturday, June 13.

Many of you will recognize Kenny by his white Pontiac, which was a regular fixture near the pavilion each week. He will be missed by his friends and fellow enthusiasts in the Central Ohio car community.

Danbury Car Show:

The Danbury Senior Living Center on Snouffer Road in Columbus hosted its 3rd Annual Car Show on Friday. With near-perfect weather, the event enjoyed its best attendance yet, attracting more than 30 vehicles.

Show participants and residents were treated to live music featuring hits from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.

Danbury also provided a terrific lunch that included barbecue ribs, chicken, corn on the cob, potato salad, chips, and a choice of water or soda.

As a thank you for sharing their vehicles with the residents, every participant received a complimentary goody bag.

The combination of classic cars, good food, great music, and beautiful weather made for an enjoyable afternoon for both participants and residents alike.

NEWS AND NOTES

What a difference a week makes. Last weekend's beautiful weather saw many shows set attendance records. Thanks to scattered showers and thunderstorms in the forecast this weekend most events had lower than expected turnouts. At least Sunday stayed dry for most of the afternoon.

Der Dutchman Cruise-In:

Thanks to the threat of rain, only 163 cars turned out for this week's cruise-in. There were only a few very light sprinkles during the evening. Not enough rain fell to require any wipedown of the cars.

This 2000 Lincoln Stretch Limo Town Car - Pzazza Series receives this week's Der Dutchman Unique Vehicle Award.

At the end of the cruise-in, Wayne Nisly announced the First Annual Outdoor Sing-Along scheduled for September 21 at the Der Dutchman Oak Grove. Wayne encourages cruise-in attendees to bring their cars and walk over to the event.

Cruisin' For Our Vets (Mike Mallow Memorial) Car & Motorcycle Show:

This year the show registered 54 cars and twenty-plus motorcycles. The cars and motorcycles were divided into classes. There were 10 classes for the cars and seven classes for the motorcycles.
