Another great show at Broadway Pizza

The All American Show as at Broadway Pizza on May 1st earlier this year. They usually put on some big shows later in the year, with free admission for all spectators, but this one was a little earlier than normal. It was still great.



I have mentioned the soft spot I have for 1967 Fairlanes since they were my first car. This one made me emotional. The 390 GT was offered for only two years. I can't think of anything that would make this car better, beside me driving it down a lonely stretch of highway. On a Fairlane side note, the Nascar winning 427 was also offered in a few '67 Fairlanes, but it wasn't available in the GT model. You had to read the fine print in order to know that the 427 was offered. It was also cheaper to insure because it wasn't the sporty GT model. I love America.

The early '60s Impala was a fire-breathing beast. What I didn't mention earlier was HiTech Motorsports was providing dyno pulls at a really cheap price to all show cars. I think I heard this 454 big block roaring on the dyno before it pulled into this parking spot. I loved the cut-outs behind the front wheels and the cool F-85 Olds emblem giving up its life for this E-85 drinking Chevy.


There are many limited edition 2005 to present Ford Mustings: Steeda, Bullit, Mach 1, Saleen, etc. But a few of these were very limited and very, very powerful. This is a 2006 Shinoda Mustang. Larry Shinoda was one of the original designers of the Boss 302. This mustang pays homage to his creative force to make the greatest looking and greatest handling Ford Mustang of the Muscle Car Era.



You don't see many new fuel injected cars with ram air, but here you go. Also, everyone needs a supercharger and 550 horsepower.

The KJM 2010 Cruise is On

Almost three years ago now, the Kenny Johnson Memorial Show and Cruise was created to keep my uncle Kenny in the thoughts of his family and friends. That first year, we ran out of time for the cruise but put on a fine car show.

The following year, we ditched the cruise idea and put on another fine car show. This year, we are going back the other way. We will be keeping things simple this year with only a cruise. Those who want to participate will gather at a location yet-to-be-determined to chat and share memories and maybe have ice cream.

After that, we will go for a drive and possible stop somewhere for dinner. Post cards will be mailed out in the next few weeks to remind previous car show participants of this change.

Personally, I am mixed on this change. The main reason it was made is the other two shows going on in the area on that day. Another reason is that it is a lot of work and other obligations are making themselves know, especially this summer.

I look forward to seeing everyone bring out your muscle car, hot rod, and cruiser for the cruise.

Lastly, if you have nothing cool to drive, bring out that minivan! The more the merrier.
