To all our friends, sponsors,
media and car enthusiasts,
A huge Thank You for all your
support this year. Attendance was the highest ever. In total, $184,000
was raised for 23 charities all in a day!! Parking alone (for 2,100
spectator cars) generated $15,000 for two of the charities
I have such great memories of
our celebrities, the Futurliner, Batcopter, TV cars and great exhibits.
My highlight was driving the Batmobile with Adam West as my passenger
and George Barris on the front fender. When will that ever happen again?
Anyway, again, Thank You so much
for your support in this event.
Sincerely,
Steve

Little Anthony has still got it!!
His powerful and amazing vocal range couled with some of the most
agelsess songs ever written transport the audience to a place where
timeless music lives on forever.
Backed up by the original Imperials, this is a show that does not quit. |
With the unmistakable voice that helped
define "the sound of young America", dancing and strutting withthe
energy of a 25 year old, keeping the beat with her trusty tambourine
and keeping audiences on their feet as they dance down Memory Lane,
Martha is a live wire. |

| NEW
ATTRACTION !! - The Car From The Television Series MANNIX |
 |
| FUTURLINER
NO. 10 |
 |
 |
| The first
time the Futurliner has been seen in Canada in 47 years |
Twelve Futurliners
along with 32 support vehicles, toured the country from coast to coast
in the 1940 and '50s. Each Futurliner in this Parade of Progress
displayed modern advances in science and technology such as jet
engines, stereophonic sound, microwave ovens, television and many other
modern marvels of the time. These Futurliners were custom-built by
General Motors around 1940, however WWII halted the Parade. In 1952,
General Motors refurbished the Futurliners and the Parade resumed -
only to be forever discontinued after 1956, a victim to one of its
featured displays: television.
This is Futurliner No. 10 - laboriously restored to its original
condition by more than 30 volunteers working over a seven year period
under the direction of Don Mayton of Beaverdam, Michigan. Only eight
other Futurliners are known to exist, five of which are in total
disrepair. Futurliner No. 10 is owned by the National Automotive and
Truck Museum of the United States located in Auburn, Indiana.
The restoration is an outstanding success because of the many
businesses, various clubs and private donors who have generously
contributed products, services and funds.
