A morning in the park

With a fresh breeze blowing in from the Lake, Victoria Park was packed and most were feeling chilly but pleased with the show. The Great Pine Ridge Car Show was on hand and nobody mentioned the chill just walked around in the sun and gawked.

From the oldest car - a 1913 Ford belonging to local aficionado, Terry Barker, to the flashiest a modified 190 purple lowered Chevy Impala, anywhere from 200 to 250 vehicles will be parked in the park today. One of the organisors, Bill Alls, told me, "That as cars are still arriving and depending on the weather, there will be up to as many as 250 cars here today."
Nationally revered car restorer, Doug Greer; of Cobourg, was greeting people at the gate and told me that apart from the popular ballot, one that anyone can enter for a buck, and select the best car, there will be no show champion. "The Judged show will be in Port Hope next month." So if you like cars there is plenty to look at this summer, in the area.
