Alabama Ford Jamboree 2022 (ie Heflin Ford Show)

[fordfan]

I hope you can make it Hammer. We have a lot of Georgia people that attend and if you can make it, I think you will have a blast!

It's almost here folks! Get them gassed up, loaded up, and ready, set, go! Remember that the dinner cruise will be leaving from the show location at 4:00 pm CST (or shortly after) Friday the 9th. The show starts at 8 on Saturday with another cruise Saturday afternoon.

This was previewed by NGA and Tasker...... ATTENTION!! After much discussion and meditating, the Ford Jamboree has been moved to a date soon to be announced. The weather for Friday looks really really wet and Saturday is almost as bad. I hope this doesn't throw too big of a wrench in anyone's wheel! Anyone that has made reservations has time to cancel with a fee and as soon as a new date is announced, I'll post it up.

A cruise and an auto show in the rain isn't near as much fun and one held in the sun!!

 

[tasker]

GUESS i have to start looking at flights again!

Keep us posted Dennis!

The weather was wet and messy yesterday and this morning it's still very cloudy and wet although it is not raining at the moment..... Nevertheless. The new date is : Cruise and diner on Friday September 30th and show on Saturday October 1st starting at 8:00 am CST.

 

[fordfan]

Heads up! Sorry about the weather changing our original dates, but the event is one week away! Let me know if you are planning on the diner cruise and post up so we can have a 'head count'. The weather is forecast to be great!

 

[fordfan]

Hey hey! It's about 'Last call time!". Ian looks like it's going closer to Bax and going to spare us from enduring a rainy Saturday. Cruise on Friday and show on Saturday......

Come on Dennis.....where's the pics???

Come on Dennis.....where's the pics???

Man! This is terrible! I was having so much fun that I really just forgot about pics! The show was amazingly good considering the original date was a wash! I didn't count Broncos or Fords, but my guess would be a total of 50 Broncos and a 100 Fords... That's just a guess. I'm sure Julie has the accurate figures on the facebook page. I only carried three Broncos this year so I wouldn't spend my whole day shuttling Broncos back and forth!

Alright Ben. Here's a few...

The weather couldn't have been nicer!.... Except when I was driving Buttercup there early in the morning! It was cold!

The diner cruises were great too! The Friday afternoons cruise and diner had about 25 vehicles and 40 people to eat. The Saturday evening cruise was all early Broncos and we ate at Jim 'N Nicks BBQ at the Oxford Exchange in Oxford and it as excellent too!

This was a cool car! The owner has owned it for over 35 years and it has had several engines but it has the original paint. A grabber blue '70 Boss 302! It's a toploader 4 speed car and has an original rollbar that is really neat! It has tabs that attaches to the top of the car. The owner told me that he has known the car from when it was almost new. The previous owner loved to street race around Atlanta on the weekends. The Boss 302 was removed and a stout Cleveland was transplanted, but no one knew that, and the owner didn't tell. On a dark street, it was hard to tell because the Boss 302 has Cleveland heads anyway.. The owner told me that many Chevys and Mopars fell prey to the "Boss 302"! Most Chevy Camero and Chevelle owners weren't smart enough to know that it wasn't a Boss 302 that just kicked their tail and took their money

Thanks Dennis, looks like a beautiful day and a good turnout!!! I missed another one!!!

 

[fordfan]

The weather couldn't have been better! .. and Yes, Ben, you missed another Great Day at the Office! Just about the only thing missing from the show was a 8N V8!!!
