Re: Fred Gibb Memorial Car Show 2010
We all had a good time!!! Except one person. He didn't like my way to LaHarpe from MonMouth. A lot of people in the caravan never had been on the Scenic route. Some people you just can't please.

Re: Fred Gibb Memorial Car Show 2010
What a Great Weekend with near perfect weather and some of the Best People you could ask for. Kenny Tatman and Crew at the Maple City Cruise in Monmouth just keep raising the bar and the crowd and cars get bigger and better every year. Well over 2500 cars line the streets in Monmouth and the Event Crew are gracious hosts.
Then to LaHarpe. Kenny Brown, Bob Lionberger, Jerry Burford and their wives and all the rest of the LaHarpe folks make you feel like you're coming home to a family reunion. It's all about the friendships we've made over the past few years, ..... with TONS of Muscle Car History from the Gibb Family and friends and hundreds of cool, cool cars. One side note I have to bring up. Bob Lionberger was at both events with his 2010 Fred Gibb Edition Camaro. As cool as the car is (Huge cudos to Mr. Bimbi & Crew), the most outstanding part of the car is the owner. If you could bottle the joy you see in Bob's face every time he fires that car we could cure the ills of the world. I told Kwhizz Friday night; every time I see Bob smile I just wanna walk up and hug him. Knowing what that man has been through the past year or so, and seeing him now; healthy and happy, ...... well, ...... it couldn't happen to a nicer guy!!!!!! And at the end of the day Saturday Bob was talking with a young man (and future Camaro owner) so Bob offered to take the young fella for a ride. WOW: what a ride! A few of us had driven over to the old Gibb Dealership building for a photo opportunity and as we headed back to the show field we met a Jewel Red 2010 Camaro headed west out of town, past the former Gibb Dealership, stretching her legs with open exhaust roaring. I could just picture Fred looking down, shaking his head and smiling. <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-size: 14pt">You GO Bob!!!!!!!</span></span></span> Great Job Everyone and Thanks for the coverage Ken! |

Ken </div></div>that is because guys like Darren, Dennis, Schoney and company along with you Ken make it a worth while and an enjoyable trip. We will even throw in the main GOP drag racer Mr. Howie that does not need to reherse his lines and never runs out of words! Bennny and I will be tuning up for the upcoming Chicago show in November were we will continue this great week we had and continue to be picked on by the Mayors wife herself Miss Becky the "made-rite, cottage cheese" gal! |

Scenic route my butt. They just wanted to get to Laharpe not via Albuquerque. And....nobody could call ya cause ya aint got no cell phone. Maybe you could tell the nice folks about that poor lady who was just trying to help you with your phone, where she could put it. It was a great time, with great folks, and cool cars. |

Re: Fred Gibb Memorial Car Show 2010
Garmin showed that way!!!
I had a great time. You would have tolded them to shove the phone too,if you spent 8 days to get a phone # assigned to it!!!! |
Re: Fred Gibb Memorial Car Show 2010
Diana and I had a nice time at Monmouth as well as LaHarpe visiting with everyone.
Cool to see the club area at Monmouth overflowing with a wide variety of muscle, new and old. Ditto at LaHarpe, where even more club members turned out, filling the tents and adjacent areas. The best part, well, best parts, seeing Helen Gibb up and at it, and seeing Bob L. and Nancy Gibb showing off their 2010 Gibb Camaros. |
Re: Fred Gibb Memorial Car Show 2010
It was indeed a fantastic weekend. Hats off to Bob L. and all of the crew for all their hard work and effort. Trust me...it all doesn't just happen!
Dennis is right, to watch Bob with his new "toy" is indeed a sight to see. His smile could light up a whole city! Let's continue this at SCR and then on to MCACN II! Bashton MCACN Managing Member |

Re: Fred Gibb Memorial Car Show 2010
Like I said earlier, a few of us ran over to the site of the Gibb Dealership for some pix late Saturday afternoon. I had been back at the building a number of times over the years, and my car has been back in LaHarpe several times too, ..... but the car hadn't been there since 1970, ............ so ............
Grady's '67 L-88, Mike's '69 L-78, Don's '69 Yenko, Me, Annie's #15 '68 Gibb COPO and Darren's '70 L-78. http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...0/DSCF2155.jpg http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...0/DSCF2159.jpg http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...0/DSCF2169.jpg A couple of '70s together. http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...0/DSCF2196.jpg |
Re: Fred Gibb Memorial Car Show 2010
Cool pics...
Hate to admit it, but thanks to our GPS, the wife and I traveled from Monmouth to LaHarpe via the same route Howie and his merry men did, which brought us by the Fred Gibb dealership building. Always neat to see it, remembering the history created there. |
Re: Fred Gibb Memorial Car Show 2010
My Garmin also tried to send me the "Howie route"... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]...there is no replacement for checking a map too.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]
The trip to corn country was well worth it, as always, great to see some good friends again. See you in Collinsville. Mike |
Re: Fred Gibb Memorial Car Show 2010
Mike, always great to hang out with you and Grady. Both your cars are killer and both a wealth of knowledge! See ya in Chicago.

Re: Fred Gibb Memorial Car Show 2010
