Ford Lover's

The cruise to Hooligan’s was ok, but weather was a problem, cold and rainy. It was still fun to get together and talk about cars. But VW’s and Gremlins? Yeah, I guess. We have a commitment to do both car shows this summer. People have been calling and asking about the shows, even from Canada…so we must be doing something right! The Downtown Cruise night on Thursday, June 1 was fun also. Lots of cars, nice hotrods, bikes and classic cars. It was a nice evening after the late afternoon rain. Next month they will have some dash plaques (not sure how many 25or 50?) and door prizes. Our club had a few winners this time. Someone asked why so many show up for the cruise but don’t show up for a show? Well, this is fre, it is only for a few hours, its on a weekday evening…need I go on? When we were at Hooligan’s we were talking about what engine was in what cars. Did the 64 ½ Mustang have a 289 or were there only 260’s? When did the 302 standard production start? You know the questions, I found a book that kind of shows but is it accurate? Ford always had a tendency to do "running" changes. For some reason I thought the Mustang got a 302 in 67 but they don’t show that. Also, I was told that only one 4 bbl 289 was available in 64 ½ but they list 2, 4bbls and a 2bbl, a cruise-o-matic, 3 speed and 4 speed manual and overdrive. Wow! What do you think, are they right?? Next meeting discussion topic?

See you on Tuesday night, June 13.
