March 17 Donut Derelict
Cruise
The Donut Derelict Cruise is something
every car/truck enthusiast should see at some point. The variety
of vehicles there is amazing. Many of us got to see it for the
first time last year when we were in Anaheim for the CofC on
the insistence of Rick Finn who brought his kool 53 panel to
our show in Anaheim. Little did we know he was one of the founders
of this great event. It was a very sad day when I got an email
from his brother letting me know tht Rick had passed away last
September. We only knew each other for a short while but I knew
I had made a lifelong friend and was really hoping to see him
on this trip that was planned last February. Another friend of
his Bob Ryder just wrote a full article in the latest Truckin'
on Rick, it is a must read. It was very fitting that we had this
gathering on St Patrick's day, Rick was a proud Irishman.
We had a very good gathering of vans, 16 in all counting the
two 23 window VWs. I was there for 3 hours and it went by in
a flash. I did get a chance to speak to most of the vanners there
but unfortunately did not get pictures of the early Chevies (this
by no means was done intentionaly). I will link and borrow pictures
from the other vanners there like Billo, Brad, Vanographer and
Vince once I get a chance and elaborate a bit more.
Enjoy the pictures: |
