A 1965 Shelby Cobra — small, light, and unmistakable.
Welcome
A beautiful February show has come and gone, and we couldn’t be happier to share it with our community, friends, and local businesses. Turnout was exceptional — especially for Super Bowl Sunday. Cool cars, cool people, and a great vibe all morning.
Enjoy this month’s newsletter. We’re excited about how the year is shaping up, and we’re just getting started.
Next up is the March show, on the second Sunday of the month as always.

A 1965 Shelby Cobra — small, light, and unmistakable.
Did you know?
The Cobra 427 was astonishingly fast even by today's standards: 0–60 in just over 4 seconds and 0–100 in 10.3. For years it was the fastest American car in nearly every measure.
A 2017 Ferrari 488 GTB brought modern supercar firepower to the corner.
Did you know?
The 488 GTB's 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 makes more power than the naturally aspirated 458 it replaced. It was named Top Gear's 'Supercar of the Year 2015' and Motor Trend's 2017 'Best Driver's Car.'
A 1969 Oldsmobile 442 in full muscle-era form.
What's in the name?
The '4-4-2' name comes from the original car's four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual, and dual exhausts — and stayed hyphenated throughout Oldsmobile's use of it.
A first-generation 1966 Mustang GT, the car that created the pony-car class.
Did you know?
The first-generation Mustang's long-hood, short-deck styling proved wildly popular and inspired a wave of competitors. Bonus: 'Mustang Sally' hit #4 on the R&B charts in 1966.
Another beautiful '57 Bel Air rolled in this month.
Did you know?
While early-'50s Chevys were known for their inline-six and 265 V8, the 1957 Bel Air debuted the 283 cubic inch Super Turbo-Fire V8 — with available fuel injection.
February 2025 car of the month
Owned by Tom Bau
“The 300SLs were made to be driven.”
February’s Ride of the Month was Tom Bau’s 1956 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing — one of the most iconic shapes ever to wear the three-pointed star, and a genuine showstopper with the doors up. Thank you, Tom, for bringing a true piece of automotive history out to share.
Until next month
