Frankfort Car Club Picnic
FCC
held its annual picnic at Wane Lucht’s man cave garage
on September 7th.
The weather was perfect for the occasion, with 26-ish
folks in attendance. Wayne’s neighbor “Chef Paul” had
prepared a smoked salmon appetizer along with some most
excellent pulled pork as the main course. Members
brought a wide variety of appetizers, side dishes and
desserts. Suffice it to say NOBODY went home hungry. And
of course, there was no shortage of interesting cars,
trucks, and memorabilia to view while at Wayne’s.
Many
thanks are extended to Wayne for his generous
hospitality, Chef Paul, and to all our members that
attended!

Frankfort Fall Fest
Once again FCC was represented in the Frankfort Fall
Fest parade with 7 vehicles. First on the scene (not
surprisingly) was Joe and Diane Tanzillo with the
ever-faithful Ford F1 pickup. The graceful 1940 Packard
Limo of Tom Mantel was next in our lineup, followed by
Dino DeLuca and his granddaughter jumping the decades
with the bright yellow Corvette. New member Trevor
Sibley upheld the classic muscle car scene with his
bright red 69 Road Runner; Wayne Lucht showed off his
newly purchased El Camino pick up; madam president
Shelly presented the 60’s in her Corvair convertible,
and rounding out our group was Lance driving Larry’s AMC
Eagle wagon. The temps were on the warm side but not hot
like last year, so nobody had any overheating issues
crawling through the parade route.
Without the car display area this year, this was our
only interface with the public, but it went off smoothly
so we’ll count it as a success.

Smiths Crossing
Smiths Crossing Show
For
several years now, FCC and the Lemont Car Club have
joined forces to present a car display at Smiths
Crossing senior living center located just north of
I-80, between Rt. 45 and Wolf Rd. We collaborated on a
similar event at Cedar Hurst Center in Frankfort the
prior month.
Just
as rain threatened several cruise night dates, the
forecast was sketchy for August 17th,
our appointed date. Tommy Doyle was 1st
to arrive along with the light drizzle that radar
indicated would be gone shortly. Chuck Lilly and Linda ,
then Larry Claypool pulled in about 10:30 under cloudy
skies. Chuck and Sharon Ravetto joined in about 15
minutes later along with 2 cars from the Lemont group.
Madame president Shelly completed the group, for a total
of 7 cars. A number of residents came out to view the
abbreviated display. Shelly’s Corvair sparked a few
longer conversations with a couple of residents that
were previous Corvair owners ‘back in day’. While it
never turned sunny and warm, the rain held off until
exactly at 1 pm, our published end time, at which point
the need to wash the cars was taken care of. None the
less, it was a satisfying display for some appreciative
folks.
Below are
scenes from the Cedarhurst Senior Living Center car display
held July 20th. Both FCC and Lemont Car Club participated
in this event.
