The Big Rock Classic Car Show was held Sunday at Plowman’s Park.
Theresa and Earl Hughes of Hinckley check out a 1949 Ford F-1 pickup truck that was on display at the Big Rock Classic Car Show at Plowman’s Park on Sunday. Dan Knight of Worth wanted to take a ride out to Big Rock Sunday morning in order to spend a day with his dad looking at classic cars and trucks.
“These orphans are cars that are not made anymore,” said Barb Baie, a member of the committee that organizes the show each year. “This year is just a shot in the dark with these orphans,” Baie said about this year’s featured class of vehicles. “We’ve done the Chevys and the Fords and the Mopars. These are people that don’t get recognized very often, so we’re going with the orphan cars.”
Money, Baie said, is raised each year from the sale of pork chop and chicken dinners which she said “smell so good we draw a lot of people once they start cooking them.”Knight’s father, Dan Knight Sr., admitted he “infected his son with this car disease” adding that “somebody has to pass the torch and he is the perfect one to send it too.”
“I have a little mechanical knowledge but I’ve never had the chance to drive a car like this. It’s kind of a bucket list thing. I’d love to,” he said. “I’ve always loved old cars. I had an old Mustang and my husband had a used car lot. My brother and grandfather had them too. I loved the way things used to be and if things were that way now it’d be awesome,” she said. “I love old trucks and have always wanted one.”
