Show Time, Car Shows, West Michigan

Tomorrow is the Zeeland Car Show. I am very excited and will say a prayer that it doesn't rain. Watch for some pictures very soon.

I want to mention a new "Cruise-In" that is happening in Hudsonville. Oh, by the way, Hudsonville is half way between Grand Rapids and Holland just North off I196.

The Parlor, an ice cream shop with awesome ice cream treats, is the sponsor. The Parlor is located amongst some other great stores, like Hudsonville Grill, (the best burgers and steaks anywhere) the new Tj's Party store, etc. So you can stop in to the Grill, have dinner, go to the Parlor for ice cream, grab a soda from the party store and sit around and talk cars with the great people who show up.

This is new for The Parlor. Wednesday last was the first time they held it. Only about 6 cars showed up, but I bet there will be more next week.

When is it, you ask? Every Wednesday night, weather allowing. What time? 7 until 9ish. How much is it? Nothing, just bring a smile, your classic car and have a ball.

Questions? Stop by The Parlor and ask. It is located just North of I196, just North of the McDonalds, same side of the street. Look for the neat new sign out front.

So, come on down next Wednesday! See you there!

Remember to stop back in a few days to see the pictures from the Zeeland Car Show!

Meguiar's New On Line Order Site

Meguiar's has now made it easier to order their products! Go to their new site and order any of their items (even the hard to find items) and you will get shipment in 24 hours!

You know how much I love Meguiar's products. I use them all the time on Big Red. Meguiar's have been very good to Mike's Show-N-Shine, helping me with celebrations and providing me with their latest items. I am proud to have them as one of my site's sponsors.


Make sure you take a minute to look up on the Speed Channel their Car Crazy Show, hosted by the head honcho himself, Barry Meguiar! Car Crazy is about what we all love, Cars! The guys who restore them in their garages, the businesses that take that "garage find" that is a total mess and turn it into the rare classic at the local museum, and guys, like me, who just enjoy cars and farm out all the work.


So the next time you need a high quality car finish product, from waxes, polishes (learn the difference) plastic headlight renewal, buffing equipment, and other great products, go to Mequiar's and order. 24 hours and it is on the way to you.


Disclaimer: This is not a paid ad. This is being written to let my reader friends know what Meguiar's is doing to help our hobby. Car Crazy is a fun show that all my readers will love, just like Two Guys Garage, My Classic Car and other great Speed Channel shows.

Searchlight Ministries Second Annual Fred Koning Memorial Car Show

Searchlight Ministries Second Annual Fred Koning Car Show!

That is a mouthful! Luther's Cruisers Car Club came into my hometown to take in this show. This is the second annual and, with threatening weather all day, the turnout a bit lighter than they had hoped. But it was still well attended by West Michigan car enthusiasts. We had a great time with the free food and all. Proceeds were used for the Davis family as they face the costs of treating their child who is not well. God's blessings on the Davis family. Please keep them in your prayers.

I took some pics of some of the cars that I don't think I have photographed before. Enjoy them!
I know that LCCC enjoyed them and the fellowship we had after the car show back at our house.

Fricano's Pizza Car Show, Alpine, Grand Rapids, Michigan

Luther's Cruisers Car Club took a ride up to the north! Well, north Grand Rapids, anyway. We wanted to see what was happening at Fr1cano's Pizza. Fricano's has a cruise in just about every week, but this was something bigger. A real Car Show! LCCC had a pretty good turn out for the middle of the week. The lot was full of great cars, I heard about 60 or so showed up. Or were registered. I think I counted closer to 100 in attendance.

Here are the pictures. Scruffy, I saw some neat early 50s Chevys. Hope you like them! And some great Rat Rods, too.














That was about all I got. It was threatening to rain and they said the storm was a few miles away. So we headed home. Just as I pulled onto my street, a few drops fell, just enough to get Big Red splattered with water and mess up the great shine.

West Michigan Classic Car Tour, Glen's "Magnificent Hudsons"

What a turnout!!!
Twenty one cars were in attendance! Members and friends of Christian Rodders, West Michigan Corvette Club, Luther's Cruisers Car Club all joined us for a wonderful tour of Glen's "Magnificent Hudsons" and a garage to challenge any other auto garage out there. Great job, Glen. Thank you so much!

I have some pics of the group of cars that were in attendance. Quite a gathering of the old and the new! Thanks to all of the attendees. You made me proud!











This is what we were here to see! Please take a minute to enjoy the surroundings, too. Set on many beautiful acres, this unbelievable collection of Hudsons shakes the mind into the past. When individual style was king. Chrome, and lots of it, style, and lots of it, was the norm. Engines were starting to show some size, as were the cars!

Here are some pictures of Glen's "Wonderful Hudsons." Sit back and enjoy!!

















We are very indebted to Glen for taking the time and having the patients with our tour. Glen, you made this a remarkable evening for all of us. Thanks again!!
