There are a few woodie guys who might be in the parade. One guy has three woodies. IIRC he has a 48 plymouth, a buick special (which I've seen, and a packard woodie. I parked my woodie next to the buick woodie and told the owner's wife, who was alone in the passenger seat, that I felt like 'Plain Jane' sitting next to the prom queen. Not that I'd trade straight across. There is the 41 plymouth I rebuilt a door bottom on last spring. It is a very beautifully restored car. As for a get together, I don't think there's anything official. I have not been in the parade for six or seven years now. People with old vehicles often park in town and talk cars for a few hours. I have a plywood board with about 6 progress photos as the woodie emerged from a pickup, as many people have a hard time envisioning it as an old derelict pickup. When my kids were young, we would sometimes have a few antique tractors driven by the kids, my 38 tonner and a trailer with a bunch of hit and miss engines. With so much to keep running, it was like being the ringmaster at a three ring circus. Parade morning was very stressful back then. I'll bring my camera. And many thanks for the kind replies I have received here!
