CLASSY CHASSY CRUISER CAR SHOW AND SHINE EVENTS ALL ARE WELCOME TO JOIN US
SHOW N SHINE BY CLASSY CHASSY CRUISERS
ON 5TH ST. CORALVILLE
There were threats of heavy thunderstorms and flooding for Johnson County, however, in Coralville at the 5th Street Historic Route 6 we didn’t have rain, a few sprinkles is all. Our Show n’ Shine car show was slow to start with the owners of the classics a little leary of the weather. Entry was off 12th Avenue, which was better this year than going over the speed bumps behind the Hills Bank. Travis Mai, Parks and Recreation for Coralville invited Classy Chassy Cruisers to do the Show n’ Shine and expressed his gratitude for us helping with the 5th Street celebration once again this year. There were many other activities drawing crowds down the street – food trucks, kids activities, beer gardens, and live bands.
13 classics registered and we collected $48 for Hospice. 50/50 collected $40 and Donna Heacock held the lucky ticket, which she donated her winnings back to Hospice. There were many kids and adults voting for their favorite classic. Bob Reihman, Tiffin with his 2013 blue, Boss 302 Mustang won Kid’s Choice trophy. People’s Choice Trophy went to Terry Protextor, Iowa City with his 60’ Chevy Impala. Travis Mai, Coralville Parks and Recreation gave his trophy to Tim Bosserman, Iowa City with his 57’ Chevy 210.
Special thanks to Mitchel Shingledecker and his friend for helping tear down.
