NEWS AND NOTES

Der Dutchman Cruise-In:

Attendance was back up Thursday evening at the restaurant’s weekly cruise-in, with 313 cars on display—25 of them making their first appearance.

Among the first-timers was Gene Flaugher, who rolled in behind the wheel of his stunning 1956 custom Pontiac Safari. His journey? A cool 76 miles one way from New Lebanon, Ohio—west of Dayton. When people are driving that far, you know this cruise-in’s reputation is shifting into high gear and reaching well beyond Central Ohio!

Creative Auto Group/Advance Auto Parts Car Show:

Twenty cars rolled into Marysville, Ohio, on Friday evening for the August Creative Auto Group/Advance Auto Parts monthly car show.

Door prize and 50/50 raffle sales brought in $70, which will go to support the Trinity Chapel Milford Center food pantry.

This month’s “Favorite” picks were:

  • Jerry Covert’s beautifully kept 1929 Ford Model A
  • Don Potter’s striking 1968 Ford Mustang GT/CS
  • Justin Miller’s wild 1953 Willys M38 Jeep with a twin-turbo Texas Speed LSX motor.
  • Kim Hawksworth’s sleek Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0

The next Creative Auto Group/Advance Auto Parts car show will be Friday, September 12, 2025, from 5–8 PM in Marysville.

Cruisin' with the King:

The Mid Ohio Cruisers Car Club held its first Cruisin' with the King show of the season Saturday evening at the Burger King on Route 31 in Marysville, Ohio.

The club registered 70 plus cars. Awards were presented to the club's 15 "Favorite" cars from those that were registered. There were door prizes and a 50/50 raffle. And if you got hungry and/or thirsty, Burger King was right there.

Here are a few of the cars from Saturday's show:

Columbus Cars and Coffee at the City:

It was another packed parking lot on Saturday morning for Columbus Cars and Coffee at the City Apartments. This week had a little more excitement than normal as two cars decided to blow hoses. One blew the power steering hose and sprayed power steering fluid all over a hot exhaust causing quite a bit of smoke. The other car blew its radiator hose and dropped coolant all over the parking lot.

Fortunately, most of the cars on Saturday morning kept their hoses intact.

Special Request:

If anyone planning to attend the Import Face-Off next Sunday would like to send photos and a brief write-up about the event, I will be sure to include it with next week's report. Email photos and write-ups to hawk02@carshowtalk.com.

I want to thank Jeff Shankle, Dave Bratton, and Dale Pearce for their help with his week's report.

I'll close with some of the cars that attended the Car Guys Sonic Friday Nights in Hebron, Ohio, and the Columbus Cars & Coffee at Starbucks in Westerville, Ohio on Sunday morning.
