Well, pretty much the same story as Monmouth; the gas prices and the economy in general didn't seem to affect the turn-out of this event. Without final numbers, Kenny Brown said it looked like the show was as big as last year. Over 470 cars registered, and that didn't include most of the cars under the tents. I'd say that speaks volumes for the Crew that works their tails off to put this show together. Although I'll no doubt miss a number of names, I want to thank Ken and Anita Brown, Jerry and Cathy Burford, Bob and Nancy Lionberger and ALL the others who are responsible for this 'Homecoming'. And how could we forget the Stars of the Show, the Gibb Ladies.
As in years past, a few new faces. Roger Sutton from Kansas chose the 10th Annual Gibb Show to debut his '68 Harrell prepped L-72/L-89 '68 Chevelle, which was sold new at the Gibb Dealership. Roger told us he's owned the car for around 25 years and just finished an impressive restoration. Stunning colors of Ash Gold with Gold Bench interior and Black Vinyl roof........... a VERY nice car! We're working on him to come back to Illinois at the end of the month.
I have a few photos I'll work on Sunday morning and get them up later in the day but for now this ol boy is headed toward a pillow,.................looking forward to dreams of cackling engines and the sweet smell of 112 octane fuel! What a weekend!!!!!!
