Car Show & Dennis Dross 8-2-13

Debra Eves models the spirit of the 50's & the '37 Chevy Coupe

Another month, and another classic car hop & cruise around town here in the southern Adirondack mountains. Ride along with me in a 1965 GTO with a 389ci motor, check out the 1937 Chevy Coupe among many other cool cars & trucks. This video is a compilation of the trophy winners, a panorama view of the cars & crowd, followed by an exhilarating drive in a growling classic "goat". 

These monthly car hop events, open to all models and year vehicles (not just classics), are free family friendly gatherings for all to attend and enter the competition for 3 trophies! Children can compete in a coloring contest for cash or gift certificate prizes. Car show's are held from 6-8:45p or so, 50/50 raffle, coloring contest winner and trophies are awarded about 8:15, the cruise at 8:30p, followed by live music down at the pub, also no charge!

An awesome Friday night here in Chestertown, NY at the Panther Mountain Inn & Pub, starting with a classic car show from 5:30-9p, then Willie Playmore Band performed their classic & southern rock jams from 8p-12:30a. With a full moon, and so much excitement at these free events, it's no wonder everyone is smiling and laughing in my videos from the night. Below are videos and playlists of the cars and band, all in one place. 

These events are free and all are welcome to attend. The classic car shows are held monthly & there are live bands playing every Friday night with no cover charge at door, so plan a night up in the southern Adirondacks for you and the whole family, enter your own muscle or classic car into the show, or just come watch & vote for your top 3 faves to win trophies for that month's show.

Some of the vehicles featured were a 50's GMC Pickup, a 60's Ford Fairlane, several 60's SS Chevelles (it seemed to be a Chevy heavy evening!), 70's Corvettes (& newer), a gorgeous El Camino, Malibu, Impala, and a 1920's Model-T just to name a few! To end the car show, all the entry vehicles do a cruise through town, a thrill to see and hear all these throbbing engines running down the road.

I rode in the lead 1978 red convertible Corvette, filming the entire ride from every angle, and embarrassing myself with my giddy giggles and joy, but I don't care ;-)  Where would you like to see me ride in the next show?

Below is the playlist of the 9 car show videos I did last night, in 1080i HD:

After the excitement of the car show, it was a relief to sit in the air-conditioned pub and watch one of my favorite local bands, Willie Playmore, performing classic & southern rock hits until the wee hours. 

Below is a playlist of the 2013 videos I've filmed of them so far, starting with the 4 from last night:
