Pic of Macombs First Fred Gibb Cruise Night

[AnnieHartweg]

Thank you for the wonderful pics Tom!

Once again Mayor Brown, Jerry, Bob and ALL of your volunteers out did themselves!!!!!!! The welcome, organization, and cooperation were fantastic! For those who have not had the chance to attend one of the Gibb shows, give it some serious thought next year, these guys really know what they are doing and the visit is more than worth while. Not only do they make sure each and every entrant is taken care of, they attract some of the very best cars and people in the hobby. It was more than an honor to join the group of organizers and participates.

Many, many thanks to one and all involved. It was a fantastic day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, all of the volunteers connected with the Gibb show are to be commended for another job well done.

And you never know who you will bump into there. I had lunch with a fellow (wish I could remember his name) who worked in the shop at the Gibb dealership. Was very interesting to hear about 427 engine swaps, the vast array of speed parts on hand, test drives, etc.

Of course all of the regulars were on hand, Helen, Nancy, Jerry and Herb.

And one of the highlights of the show for me was spending time visiting with Lee Hamilton, who was shop foreman at the Kansas City Dick Harrell Performance Center in '70-'71. It was neat hear more of the history surrounding both Dick Harrell and Fred Gibb.

BTW, many of these fine folks, as well as a lot of the cars, will be at SCR8. Some even drag racing. I know Ken Barnhart has a fresh "Yenko" engine in his ZL-1 Camaro.

This is one of the coolest sights I've seen in a long time. Unfortunately, very few people who witness this have any idea what they're seeing!

I've said it before; I'll say it again......
MY HERO!

Dennis, even my wife, who is not a car person, thought it was kind of neat.

One regret that I had was that the truck was not parked near the tent along with Ken's car. This would have made for a really neat conversation piece especially with all the era photos. When was the last time we have seen the original hauler and race car still in the hands of the original owner? By the way Ken, did you get that grease stain out of your jeans. The wife was NOT too happy with you!

Tom,

The fellow you met at lunch was Jim McPeak. I really liked the story about the six cylinder transplant into one of the 50 Chevy II's.
