Hi folks -- I can't think of anything more American than the summer cruise-in. Held in many communities -- in commercial and church parking lots and public parks -- these events are as much a social gathering as they are a showcase for one's special automobile. And the crowd at the local cruise-in in Kettering cuts across racial and class lines. you can talk to the pompous ass who owns a 1970 Lotus Europa, or the humble old man who restored a 1953 Ford pickup powered by the last year of the flathead V-8. The cars range from old to new, from GM 50s and 60s to European makes that include BMW, Jaguar, and Porsche. Most the the people who attend are just good, down to earth Americans from all walks of life, who share one thing in common -- a love for the car, restored, original, a rust bucket or even rat rod.
