2023 St. Colman Car Show a Success, Benefiting Honor Flight Network

On a sunny Florida day in November, over 90 car owners and their vehicles participated in the St. Colman Car Show, a fundraiser for the Honor Flight Network. Despite the slightly warm weather, many spectators came out to enjoy the show and support the cause.

A variety of cars were on display, from classic and antique vehicles to modern sports cars and muscle cars. There was something for everyone to enjoy, and the spectators had a great time browsing the cars and talking to the owners.

The St. Colman Car Show was a huge success, raising a significant amount of money for the Honor Flight Network. This organization provides veterans with the opportunity to visit their memorials in Washington, D.C., at no cost to them. It is a truly worthy cause, and the car show was a great way to support it.

Show Chairman’s Comments Feb 2023

This month's selection of recommended cruise-ins and comments by our show chairman Tim Nusbaum.

CAR SHOWHeritage Park Show February 2023

As last year’s show chairman, helping Madam President, I want to recognize our new Vice President Dirk DeJong. He put on a 20 member car show for the Nestor Torres Heritage Park event. This included air conditioned bathrooms which I have never experienced at car show park setting.

We had members from the Miami region participating as well, a few Thunderbird Club members, a resto-mod Packard showed us that authentic classic looks can be updated with modern running gear and concealed air-conditioning.

For the younger set “bob the racer” and his wife, brought his early 60’s mustang with a 4 camshaft 4.6 cobra engine (400+ hp) stuffed into that itty bitty first generation engine compartment. His mastery fabrication and design just amaze’s me every time I see one of his hybrid creations. We also had a turbo Pontiac sunbird convertible, very rare relic and a joy for us Pontiac fanatics to witness being driven.

The “lifted” Chevy suburban with two tone sun bright orange paint was the visual stunner of the day, it’s so big it looked like there was orange everywhere on the show field. Our Vice President’s 41 Buick was the winner of the day. The 5 inch whitewalls, perfect leather, huge headlights and large chrome radiator were amazing. Personally I was awe struck by the inline 8 cylinder engine of bygone days which I only read about and we will never see again.

Ladies and gentlemen members, you need not drag out your “trailer queen” or your wood spoke wonder, just come on out look at what your club’s drivers cruised in with. We always have shade tent’s which allow us to socialize or come and look at your phone and tell your envious friends what a good time you’re having with a picture next to a classic car.

You can contribute to the club by sending possible car show ideas to your board members at fortlaudedale.aaca.com/officers/ We like ice cream stores, car friendly hamburger and hot dog venues and basically any place with adequate parking. We supply shade and often drinks and if you are lucky, cookies.So come on out, sit a spell and chat with friends and car lovers, we’d love to have you.

Your car friend,

Tim Nusbaum/mr2tim

We cruised north to the Hillsboro Inlet then back south to Las Olas Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale before returning north on A1A to the parking lot where we will paused for photos before disbursing. “Having people give you the thumbs up is my favorite part of the cruise” says Steve Neumeyer.
