15th Annual Beeline Cruise-in

A stroll down Main Street on Saturday, April 26 was worth the sunburns, tired feet and children wanting something more or else. Sure, people go to car shows all the time, but the one on Main Street is different; there are so many cars at such close proximity it is easy to miss something. It is necessary to walk that miracle mile at least twice, as you are sure to see a car or a vendor you didn't see on your first turn of the head. Speaking of which, you might want to put your head on a swivel next year so nothing is missed.

He and Ken Caldwell each built their own 1901 Curved Dash Olds from scratch, except for several items; like the drive chain, running lights , horn, etc. Top speed of these cars is 20 miles per hour and that's pushing it. Hay, it was 1901, what do you want? View photo »
