We had 40 cars and over 60 people. Hot coffee, hot tea and a bunch of Lorna Doone cookies were the hit of the party. Lorna Doone showed up wearing a green jump suit with a colorful tartan. Ricky Veneziale drove his rare '63 Ford Falcon Ranchero over at 930AM to flag in antique and classic cars over the finish line as they arrived at the car show. All attendees received a History of Lorna Doone from Gen Rummy. Lorna Doone was a .real person
------------------------
------------------------

29 cars officially entered the blue ticket NO ENTRY FEE car show. It was open to Street Cars, Daily Drivers, Show Cars, Race Cars,.... anything with a motor. Best of show winner Angel Negron (Datsun 260 Z) took home the Trophy and Best of show winner Mark Coppa (Mercedes street car) chose a $25 Rock Auto Parts Automotive Gift Certificate. Angel Negron came with his son just to look at cars and so did Mark Coppa....until they both got the no-cost blue ticket...and WON!

A Thank you to Ed and Jeanne Montgomery (Tampa Bay Antique Classic Vehicle Club and Keystone Motor Club) who came in their Mustang and helped with the drawing and sold $1 red tickets for Door prizes and the $139 collectible. The "guaranteed $25" 50/50 actually paid $51 to the winner. Gen Rummy and Jeanne Montgomery ran the drawing. Vic Piano Founder of Cigar City Flatheads announced all drawing winners. His very rare V12 Flat Head Ford is featured in Florida Car Shows latest online newsletter.

What Keystone Motor Club Did on April 17 2021

The April 17th Car show was the most fun ever.
The “Cackleberry Party” that weekend at the Keystone Motor Club was an outstanding success.
There were cackleberries everywhere and lots of eager members to play, "Let's make a deal!" The Women of Keystone not only provided hot coffee and tea, but pastries were also on the serving table, provided by Renee Martoglio along with all sorts of other candies and treats. Thanks to Ed and Jean Montgomery for operating the 50/50. The winner of the guaranteed $25 payout got $50 instead! We also gave away a dual power air compresssor as the grand prize.

With close to 50 cars signed in, and about 75 people visiting and having fun. Many prizes including the “Let's Make a Deal” trophies, (winners could choose the Gold and Red Trophy or the Red and Gold Trophy.......lol.....) and the 50/50 drawing had $50 in it. Fifty seemed to be the lucky number. Nitish Rele delivered copies of Motoring Tampa Bay Magazine. Keystone Motor Club is featured on page 8. Extra copies are on the WOK/Women of Keystone's table.

We paid Tribute to Herb and Carol Wagner with the first of the Memorial
Car shows. We read a tribute and history of their '63 Chevy Impala Convertible, named "Sunshine". The car was on the grounds for all to see. Jim Filcheck drove over his '69 Chevelle and won Best of Show. Wesley Shallow drove his '69 Camaro over and won Best Of Show.

Keystone has some 3 foot trophies donated by Keystone Motor Club Founders Sam and Carol Prentice. for when we have 60 or more cars.

Every 3rd Saturday...Having a Roll-out to Keystone Motor Club car show.Every 3rd Saturday...Having a Roll-out to Keystone Motor Club car show.

Some car clubs plus individuals will meet (across from Sickles High School) at Walgreens Pharmacy
7925 Gunn Hwy and Sheldon Road 33626 then to arrive as a group, we promptly leave Walgreens
at 915AM. Join us! Collect up your car club here and impress the heck out of everyone when you arrive as a larger group.

(Gunn Hwy and Van Dyke Rd). Contact is: Bobfixesitup@yahoo.com or text 813-452-7807

 

August 21 Keystone Motor Club featured Unlimited Root Beer Floats at our favorite Winn Dixie 17649 Gunn Hwy in Odessa/Tampa; Gunn Hwy and Van Dyke Rd.
Things went really quick, so we could beat the heat and leave early by 12:45.
----------------------------------
Gen made Root Beer floats or you could make your own. We went back into Winn Dixie
when we ran low, to get more supplies and it pays to meet in their parking lot.

Dick Peterson helped with sign-ins for the NO ENTRY FEE CAR SHOW.
When we got around to awarding Trophies, Best of Show winners could choose between endless full gas tanks or endless burnouts......as symbolized by one trophy being mounted to the side an old fashioned Pump-it-yourself gas pump, and the other being mounted to the side: one of Henry Ford's finest automobiles.

For the Herb and Carol Memorial Car Show, Joe Avanzato won Best of Show with his Aluminum body Jaguar and picked the endless full Gas Tanks trophy.
Holly Lee won Best of Show with her Yellow Dodge T/A and picked the endless burnouts trophy.
Keystone paid out $26 to the winner of the 50/50. The grand prizes were a plug-into-your-cigarette-lighter voltage converter (from 12 volts to 110 volts), and a smart watch.

Congratulations to John and Carol Berti
of Land O Lakes. Their Blue 72 Corvette is on both the outside and the inside cover of August 2021 Motoring Tampa Bay Magazine.

Congratulations to Keystone's Rickster! His rare 63 Ford Falcon Ranchero will be on the inside cover
and front cover of September 2021's Motoring Tampa Bay. He also just won Peoples Choice at the River Church Show.

We will have some extra magazines to be autographed at the WOK/Women of Keystone table at the next Keystone Motor Club
meeting on September 18.
--------------------------

Keystone founders, Sam and Carol Prentice were our guests of honor on Aug 21.

Unrelated story but welcome, was Holly Lee and Speedy Lee bringing a few friends,
and Holly assisting Gen by flagging people in as they drove up. More people are bringing friends. Maybe they figured out that bringing people increases the odds of you and your friends winning something. Drawings were assisted by Gail Holsen and Isabella Bradley.

 

On September 18 2021 at Keystone Motor Club,

"As I was motivatin over the hill, I saw Mabellene in a Coupe DeVille........"
Actually that was Chuck Berry. Pardon me folks, I just spent the weekend listening to
50's and 60's Rock and Roll...... that's my excuse. : ) lol
------------------

As I was motivatin up Gunn Highway on my way to Keystone Motor Club,
I saw the largest single raindrop ever, splatted right on my windshield in front of me.
I'm thinking: Thank goodness it wasn't a bird taking a poop!
-------------------

The night before, I had emailed the Keystone Rain Plan to the membership.
(check the newsletter, post #415)
When I left that morning in the fully loaded and mercifully loaned pickup truck of Gen Rummy, the sky was overcast but not raining, and I was glad that I sent out the plan....and it was not raining.

By the time I drove into the parking lot at Winn Dixie at Gunn Hwy and Van Dyke, it was a different story. It was raining.
-------------------

On the trip up Gunn Hwy I had been hoping that I would not be the only person there. I had in my pocket the guaranteed $25 for the 50/50 and a Gift Certificate from Rock Auto Parts.com. I had promised that if only one person showed up, that person would get the Best Of Show trophy, the guaranteed cash and the Gift Certificate. Man was I surprised.
-------------------
The parking lot was filled.
I'm thinking how blessed I am that all these wonderful car loving fanatics came out today.
Immediately some of them jumped in and set up two tents, tables, and all the stuff that goes on them.
Then the rain quit.
-------------------
By the 11AM deadline, I had signed in everyone who wanted to, for the NO ENTRY FEE car show,
the five or six Corvette guys had held a handiwork demonstration/class/BS session on a unique project under the rear hatch of a mid engine 'Vette, Milt Roorda had hand-cranked up three of his vintage outboard motors as a demonstration, and Denise Johnson of Gulf Coast Cruisers had taken pictures and a video for their GCC newsletter, //www.tamparacing.com/forums/event-coverage/844895-newsletter-gulf-coast-cruisers.html....and their facebook page

Both Vic Piano and Rosemary Roorda had their hoods open on "new" rides. Vic to show the nicest show engine I ever saw on a 1940 Lincoln Continental Cabriolet, and Rosemary's 36 Buick coupe had the only straight 8 seen by me.....ever. I'm wondering if the Buick has to be double clutched or if it has a synchronized manual transmission. Vic had his Hot Rod featured in the center section of September's Motoring Tampa Bay, along with Rickster, and John Berti's Corvette in other issues.

As is the Keystone custom we gave a few moments for car clubs to speak about their club and/or what they are doing such as the Hope For Children Ministry car show on 25 September at QSL and the newly formed Gulf Coast Cruiser Club.

Wesley Shallow got his 69 Camaro wet to win Best of Show, and the gift certificate went to
Dr She of HFTCM. The rainy day 50/50 was operated by Dick Peterson and paid $40 to the winner.
The trophies for the Herb and Carol Wagner Memorial Car Show are getting bigger, if anyone has not noticed....and next month's October Best Of Show will be over two feet tall.

People could stay, or BS and visit as long as they wanted to at Winn Dixie. John Berti, the Roordas, Vic Piano, Dick Peterson and a few others helped me reload Gen Rummy's pickup truck, and Milt's outboards. Gen Rummy will return after her knee heals.

I thank each and every one of you that came out.
Have a great Day folks!.......and some of your great days will be Rainy Great Days!
-Bob

What we did on OCT 16 2021Keystone Motor Club...It was the most Fun Car Show ever!
It was the most Fun Car Show ever!

• We are being overwhelmed with all the cars coming in. It was the first time we had to park cars on the grass.
  We need a bigger parking lot.
  I'm willing to listen to suggestions, if attendees will email me. Were you there?

• First, a confession:
  Two of the boxed door prizes had 1/4 inch of dust from 50 years of storage.
  Dust had been knocked off the box outside. But the inside was not cleaned up at all. You might look up the value of those dusty items before you toss them out.
  
  The boxed items were only door prizes, along with Car Wash Soap,
  a 5 gallon Car Wash Bucket, Tire Shine, and a round tire gauge.
  It was winners choice as to what you won when we drew your name.
  
  A Collectible Large, Tall, One-of-a-kind Beige Ceramic Chalice-styled "Cup" with a large poinsettia carved opening into the side for the included candle to shine through includes a large oval-shaped table cloth which goes with the ceramic cup, and can be claimed by the winner if you email me. I have to wash the table cloth before you can have it.
  
  It's at least 50 years old, and has to be washed by hand. Please be careful with the cup, I was unable to look up the value on the internet. You may have the only unbroken one still in existence.
  
  Except for the door prize collectibles,
  We paid out $77 to the winner for the 50/50 raffle. Things were pretty hectic.
  Thank you to Dick Peterson for operating the 50/50.
  
  The brand new, original box, original plastic bag, unassembled Tony Stewart collectible Shop Light/Desk Light...the last one that's not in a museum was the grand prize, and may be worth more than the $77 in the 50/50. It's not listed on the internet that I could find.
  
  There were two winners for Best of Show in the Herb and Carol Wagner Memorial Car Show:
  Thomas Leo's '68 Chevy 210 won Best of Show and a 2 foot trophy.
  Ray Crowley's '27 Ford Roadster won Best of show and a 2 foot trophy.
  
  Keystone Founders Sam and Carol Prentice stopped by briefly.
  I need to meet with Sam soon. We are being overwhelmed with all the cars coming in. It was the first time we had to park cars on the grass.
  We need a bigger parking lot.
  I'm willing to listen to suggestions, if attendees will email me. Were you there?
  
  I want to thank Dick, Don, Vic and John, who helped with tent assembly, and thank you also to Deb Rebuck, Danni Wells, and Dick Peterson who helped with disassembly and packing up when it was time to leave. Thanks also to Gen for the use of the pickup truck and the preparation help prior to the Car Show.
  
  Dan and Gail Holsen were both taking a ton of pictures and the best ones are posted: on Keystones Members Group page..
