Article - FCC at Frankfort Fall Fest  By Larry Claypool  Although weather did not look promising, several members arrived on Elwood street about 10am on Sunday of Labor Day weekend for our Car display. Chuck/Sharon Ravetto (Corvette); Ken Eyer (Thunderbird); Larry/Shelly Claypool (Subaru 360); and Dale/Bonnie Chapman (Chevy Street Rod). Member Lance Alden also was on hand. We all had a nice visit with each other as well as those who stopped by to see the cars. Around noon, several of us headed off to the parade marshalling area. There, several more FCC members were already in line- Joe & Ma Tanzillo (VW “Herbie”), Dan Colyer (Lincoln). Tommy Doyle (Mustang), Dennis Heywood (Model A Ford) Dino DeLuca (Corvette) and Wayne Lucht (Pontiac GTO). The parade staging area was new this year, and some glitches did occur- Tommy Doyle was first to arrive and was put in the numerical line up, while everyone who arrived later was directed to a side street. When it was time to move out, the side street cars were called first (out of numerical order), while Tommy was stuck back a few entries in the main line. Then Wayne’s GTO wouldn’t start- plenty of battery and gas, but no spark. The side street cars moved out, followed by a couple of other parade entries and finally Tommy in his Mustang. Just as mysteriously as it quit, the GTO started and ran perfectly, so Wayne and Tommy brought up the rear so to speak. All our entries were well identified as FCC entries with the magnetic logo signs applied to the sides.   The parade route was somewhat longer this year due to rerouting the start and the crowds were bigger than I ever remembered previously. As we crossed Hickory St., Jerry Warning snuck into line with his nice ’37 Ford convertible (as he usually does), then exited the parade in the same manor when we again crossed Hickory near the end. The vacuum whistle on Dennis’ Ford got partially stuck so it hooted and howled for most of the route- the spectators loved it. All the cars behaved perfectly for the entire parade route, well representing FCC to the large crowd. You can watch the parade on YouTube-   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2AB_SaaqEs FCC entries begin at 32:33 minutes.   After the parade, most of the FCC entries returned to our display area where the many passersby could stop in for a closer view. The rain? It never arrived until after 4Pm, by which time our display was over and all our cars safely home. 1.                  All the vehicles in our car display were well identified as Frankfort Car Club   2.                  The Ford A and tail of Danny's Lincoln   3.                  Waiting in parade line up   4.                 Ken Eyers T Bird, Chuck's Corvette   5.                  Wayne's GTO,  Tanzilo VW   6.                  Tommy Doyle's Mustang, Claypool Subaru,  Dennis's Ford A

The luxury auto is currently undergoing renovation in preparation for its debut at The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. The prestigious annual August event in Monterey County, CA is by invitation only. Two hundred of the most prized collector cars from around the globe are judged for historical accuracy, technical merit, and style. The event has raised millions for charity since its founding in 1950. Being invited to participate is an honor in itself. Congratulations Dennis!
