Not Pavillions-But The Calif. Doughnut Cruise!

**Xplantdad** · #1 07-31-2006, 04:35 AM

I met up with Mark Sheppard (92646)and his brother-in-law at 6am on Saturday morning (after staying up until 2am on Friday night watching my nephew's band play in Fullerton

)

The cruise is located on Magnolia and Adams...and there were already 60+ cars there when I arrived at 5:50am

Here we go!

Talk about a rare bird....I believe that's a one-year-only, maybe a 57 or 58

It's a Studebaker Hawk with a few changes and Packard nameplates.

Thanks for the pics, Bruce

You on a travelin' kick this summer????

Bruce,
That is my '68 Hemi Dart. You happened to see it on one of the rare appearences at Donut Derelicts. This car was actually built to my exacting standards by Greg Fernald of SS&AFX in New River, AZ. Greg took it to the huge Pavilions
Saturday Cruise there in Scottsdale back in January when he first finished it and before the bugs were worked out. I did all the detail work on the motor (472 cu. in., 650 HP)and I am now driving and showing it here in So. Cal.
I was born in Phoenix and love your beautiful State.
Keep posting those great pictures, and Thanks for these.

Gary,

I thought that car looked familiar! I think Sam Griffith(Mockingbird812) on this site took some pictures of it at Pavillions, too. I *may* also have shots of it. Are you familiar with our weekly Pavillions pics that occur when it's cooler here?

Nice to have you on the site...and don't be a stranger!
