Daytona Spring Show, 2006

 
Two cars paraded from the rest stop Friday, March 24, Tom's Olds 442, with Bob Arnold on as a passenger and Dave Smart's Pepto Bismal Express. A couple of other members were seen during the day, but no camera was to be found. Not many show cars on the field and not many people milling around.
 
Saturday, March 25, there were four trucks, Ed Fitzpatrick's yellow Chevy, Jerry Doucette's Dodge Purple People Eater, Big Mike's Dodge Warlock, and Dave Smart's F1100 at the camp site (the RV parking area), with Gary Wozniak's Buick convertible parked near by, as was Ray Pinto's Hudson Hornet which was parked in the AMC area. On the main show field we saw Jack Valerio & his Chevy and Ken Saul & his Mercury Caliente. Also there, but carless were Boh Bohannan & Bob Kelley. Hopefully we didn't miss anyone. The camera was present also, but was napping and missed getting a photo of Ed's yellow ride--sorry Ed. It was quite nippy and windy all day Saturday. Lots of interesting vehicles turned out as well as lots of spectators. One of the most interesting cars there was the most radical custom seen lately. It appears to have started out life as a late 50's Chrysler, complete with plastic bubble top.  It was done in the Daryl Starbird custom style, but was built by "Chopit". Not practical but truly a work of art! See photos below. Dave thanks Boh, Ed, and Jack for helping to distribute the Indian River Festival flyers.
