2015 Function 4 Junction magazine by Function 4 Junction

May 30, 2015

Welcome to the Function 4 Junction T

he Function 4 Junction grew bigger once again last year with more than 400 cars parked downtown during the Show and at least 800 rolling in the Cruise. We added another block to the Show venue to make room for all the new entries and we’re prepared to expand a little more if needed this year. It’s our hard- working volunteer crews who make this all possible. Volunteers control traffic and parking, they operate barricades, provide information and register vehicles. Board members and volunteers sell raffle tickets and distribute this free magazine in the month before the Function, they set everything up on the morning of the event, they judge the Show ‘N Shine entries and even clean up the downtown

streets afterwards. The local business community plays a huge part in making the event possible by contributing a wide range of goods and services that is too long to list here. See page 8 to learn more about the commitment they bring to making the Function a safe, fun and successful day for everyone.

A Huge Thanks T

he Function 4 Junction is a non-profit organization that not only runs a great car show but also raises money to be used “4 the Children, 4 the Schools, and 4 the Community”. Each year we make donations to local charities as well as working through the Education Together Foundation to provide scholarships and educational grants to students f r o m Junction City. Over the years the F4J has made regular donations to the Junction City Tiger Auction, the Tri-County Chamber of Commerce, the Viking Sal Senior Center, the Bethel Booster Club, local sports teams and local Boy Scout and Girl Scout programs. Those donations are possible only because so many people offer their help in so many ways. The business community in our area supports the event when they place an advertisement in this magazine. Some of those businesses trade their goods or services for advertising space, which helps keep down our costs of staging the Show and the Cruise. The F4J directors want to thank those sponsors, along with all of the great people who buy raffle tickets that help fund this community event. The downtown business owners of US Bank, Citizens Bank, Oregon Neurosport Physical Therapy, Pacific Continental Bank and Tri-County Insurance all donate the use of their parking lots. Bi-Mart also sets aside 38 of their parking spaces for our volunteers to use while DariMart allows to use their landscaped lot as the backdrop when we photograph our award winners. The wonderfully supportive people who live and work in our small town of Junction City deserve the most recognition for the way they deal with the inconvenience of street closures and the presence of as many as 15,000 visitors in the small town with a great amount of patience and very few complaints. About a dozen riders from the Oregon High School Equestrian Team help out every year with Cruise and Show registration.

The Tiger cheer squad, Tiger football players and members of the Veneta/Elmira 4H club are a big help with the demanding job of controlling the cruise route. The regional chapter of the Girl Scouts fields a team of Scouts and volunteers who join in the unglamourus late-night and early morning task of cleaning the streets and sidewalks after all the cruisers have gone home. Three board members and two other volunteers handle the crucial and very challenging task of judging vehicles in each of the 30 categories of awards and trying to choose a winner. F4J President Dan Alley said that no single volunteer or group stands out, as they are all willing to jump in and help wherever needed. He pointed out that all board members are also volunteers who do an Function 4 Junction outstanding job Board of Directors on the committees Dan Alley Cindy Alley they run.

Two young men get a little boost The Function for Junction Scholarship Program

he annual Function 4 Junction is always free for spectators, but funds are raised through entry fees for the Show ‘N Shine and registration fees for those who want to join in the Cruise. Since 2005, a large portion of those fundraising efforts have gone to support the Function 4 Junction college scholarship program, which is administered by the Education Together Foundation. Every year an amount ranging between $1,500-$2,500 is awarded to one or two high school students who live within the Junction City School District. The number of scholarships awarded and the amount of each grant are dependent on the funds raised each year, and also on the number of eligible applicants. A successful 2013 show and cruise made it possible for the F4J to grant two $2,500 awards in 2014. The F4J Scholarship program, like all of the 65 scholarships awarded by Education Together’s scholarship committee, require high grade-point averages, a written personal essay and a summary of individual future goals. Although it’s not a requirement, the Function’s scholarship gives special consideration to applicants interested in pursing a career in automotive-related industries. “A personal essay is the

most crucial element in determining “The Function scholarship was really scholarship winners,” said Gary Nelson, a huge help,” Devon said. “It paid for president of Education Together. “It one full trimester of books and tuition. gives the best insight into the character Without that help I probably would of each individual and what they hope have had to use some of my family’s to accomplish in the near future.” college fund savings – or most of my The Education Together Awards Night in 2014 was the hildren held in the Junction City First Baptist Church.

College in Tangent. “I could have gotten through this year without that scholarship, but it would have been tough,” Tristan said. “I probably would have needed to find a second job, but I don’t know how I would have found the time for one.” Born and raised in Junction City and a graduate of JCHS in 2013, Tristan grew up watching the F4J and developed an interest in cars at a very young age. “I still have my first truck, which I bought when I was 12 years old,” Tristan said. “I made money selling sheep through the 4H program and convinced my parents to let me spend

$850 on a 1970 Chevy Shortwide 4-speed with a 350 small block under the hood. I drove it all through high school.” Tristan used the scholarship to pay for tuition, materials and some tools. He’s on track to complete his AA degree in welding this year and looking forward to putting that degree to use right away. “I might want to continue my education after I earn my degree, but I really just want to get to work,” he said. ducation Together was founded in 1987 in Junction City with a mission of providing additional funds to local area schools. The group administers scholarships, distributes endowments and awards grants in order to achieve those goals, and to support students at all grade levels. Two Education Together board members oversee a small scholarship selection committee made up of four representatives from the Junction City community. This arrangement ensures

that all board members remain separate from decisions made by the selection committee. “In the past three years we’ve widened our parameters,” said Nelson. “We now have money for district residents who aren’t going to college but need grants to continue their adult education or attend vocational school. “I can say, however, that we wouldn’t exist at all if it weren’t for individuals and groups like the Function 4 Junction who provide the scholarship money that funds our awards.”

rom its somewhat casual beginning in 1995, the Function 4 Junction has been a celebration of the history of American automobiles –

Cruising

and

Showing

A brief history of the Function 4 Junction

a history that extends back more than a century. It also serves as a showcase for the craft of auto restoration and an expression of the passion that many people feel towards their favorite make and model of classic car. But mostly it’s a chance to have fun while taking in the scene, talking about cars and in the process, doing good things for the community. Since 2006, both the Show ’N Shine and the Cruise have been held within the Junction

City limits, using the main drag of our small Willamette Valley town as a cruise route. The Show ‘N Shine has moved from the often-muddy high school football field to the paved streets at the center of town. Between 10,000 and 15,000 people show up every year to enjoy the day, watch the cruisers and inspect the show cars. It’s the second largest event held in Junction City (behind the four-day Scandinavian Festival) and it’s grown into one of the most popular car shows in Oregon. Spectators line both sides of Ivy Street – the city’s name for the four lanes of Hwy. 99 that run through the center of town. The Cruise traditionally begins at 6pm with two antique fire trucks leading the way. Automobiles of every make, model and vintage cruise up and down the main drag until darkness falls and the Cruise

officially ends. The Show is open all day long, centered at the corner of 6th Avenue and Greenwood Street. Awards are announced and presented around 3pm, and then everyone gets ready for the main event – the Cruise! A volunteer board of directors now manages the non-profit organization that stages the events and continues the mission of offering scholarships and grants, which are made possible through registration fees, shirt and poster sales along with other fund-raising efforts. With the support of thousands of classic and custom automobile fans, many local businesses, local service groups and volunteers – and with hundreds of cruisers from near and far – the 2015 Function 4 Junction promises to be another memorable day!

“Every one of my cars has its own personality, and every car I build is always my dream car...”

1941 Willys Swoopster

by Rob Lafferty

nce in a while at every car show, there’ll be one special vehicle that’s a clear winner in its class and also an easy choice for the judges when it comes time to pick Best of Show. One car winning three top awards has never happened in the Function 4 Junction Show ‘N Shine – until last year. Chip Chipman’s 1941 Willys Swoopster impressed the judges enough that they granted it Best of Show. Inside

and out, it’s one of the cleanest cars they had ever seen. Visitors liked the unique lines and the custom interior work so much that they voted overwhelmingly for the car as their People’s Choice winner. Gearheads on the judging panel were also impressed enough with the high-intensity forged aluminum custom Bonspeed wheels to add Best Wheels & Tires to Chipman’s trio of awards. Chip and his wife Bernie have been in the F4J awards lineup before. His ‘33 Ford Roadster took home the Best Wheels award in 2008. In 2012, his ‘37 Ford Coupe won Best of Show. That’s

just our show – over the past 14 years he’s brought home a total of about 200 awards from dozens of different shows for the five cars he has bought and rebuilt into showpiece vehicles. Bernie got hooked on car shows ten years ago when she won Best of Show at a Salem car show with a 1933 Ford Roadster, one of two cars the couple drove to the show that year. Needless to say, she goes to every show with Chip now. The Chipmans live in Salem where they bred and trained bird dogs for many years until they finally had enough of all the work involved with feeding and caring for dozens of dogs. continued on page

Swoopster from page 21 “I started on my first show car 14 years ago,” Chip said. “My son has always been really interested in classic cars and started restoring a ‘68 Camaro. He got me into this – it’s become an obsession, but it’s one that I really enjoy.” Chip bought the car after first seeing it on HotRod Hotline. It’s was quite rare, one of only 64 original ‘41 Swoopsters that were ever assembled and sold.

“It took two months to get it home from Missouri on an open trailer. Once we got it here, I sat and looked at it for two hours. Oh, it was ugly – it was certainly not my dream car.” It ended up on jacks for about 18 months while Chip started creating exactly the look he wanted.“I don’t like wires and I don’t like rubber hoses under my hood,” Chip said. “I love simplicity. The only rubber under that hood is the

radiator hose.” Instead, he has stainless steel tubing for fuel lines, made by EddieWaggoner especially to fit the engine. “The tubing work is special; it’s very precise work, I’ve never seen another one like it.” The Swoopster has a removable hard top. The floorcovers are made of leather and the grey seat seats are ostrich leather, continued on page

It’s hard to even think about letting it go.” Chip will be back at the Function in 2015 to enter his latest labor of love in the Show ‘N Shine. Fair warning, then, to all hopeful contenders for a Best in Show award – you’ll need to bring a very special vehicle in absolutely top condition if you want a chance against whatever car Chip brings. And he’s keeping that his little secret for now...

Sid and Sandy Hamar built their modified 1970 Chevelle SS from the ground up. Nobody else laid a hand on it... by Rob Lafferty

A lot of car owners can talk for many hours about how they built their car, but only a few can match Sid Hamar’s complete set of car restoration skills and his ability to modify an original design for the better. “I’m really just a backyard mechanic but I was into hotrod mode right from the start,” said Sid. “I learned from my dad, and he taught me the right way to do things. One of those lessons was to do the work yourself, so aside from Dad and my wife Sandy, nobody else has ever touched any of my cars.” The President’s Choice award in 2014 was given to Sid for his 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS. Aside from the tunnel rams sticking up out of the hood, the car looks a whole lot like it would have looked sitting on a showroom floor 45 years ago. For Sid, the SS represents a part of his younger days. He started working on cars while still in high school by acquiring a 2-door post 1957 Chevy. His second car was the same make and model as the Chevelle he owns now. “I worked the graveyard shift for Weyerhauser while I was still going to Thurston High in Springfield,” he said. “In my senior year I was able to buy a brand new ‘70 Chevelle, black with dual white stripes and a 454 engine, which was the biggest they made at that time. I sold it two years later but the desire was always there to get back into that same model.” A few years later Sid got started in a new direction when he acquired a ‘68 Chevelle SS with a 396 engine.

“I hopped it up right way,” he said. “I started with tunnel rams on that car. They’re a little tricky to work with.” His next project involved his first attempt at pro street racing, using a ‘67 Camaro RS 427 as his vehicle of choice. “I was a straight-liner, a quarter-miler.

We used to run on the old Balboa drag strip in Eugene. It was a pretty fast car; guys saw what I was doing and started asking for my help with their cars. I’ve built some pretty healthy engines for circle track racers over the years.” The award-winning SS you see in

Presidents Choice from page 27 from Sandy. “I did some body work and replaced the fenders before I started on a full rebuild plus some modifications. The interior is a full restoration of the original, thanks to a kit from Muscle Factory. Sandy was a big help when it came time to do the upholstery, and she helped with the engine work whenever I needed an extra pair of hands. She also did a lot of work on the detailing.” There’s a lot of detailed modifications throughout the car, as Sid replaced all the insulation and soundproofing material, put on braided heater hoses and wire clamps, even added fluorescent lights under the hood for a bit of nightime flash. Dan Alley picked the Chevelle for the President’s Choice for several reasons, but admits that he favors that particular body style. “I’ve always liked the look of a Chevelle, and the way this car was displayed caught my eye,” Dan said. “Sid and Sandy are a very nice couple, friendly and easy to talk with. I was especially impressed when they told me that they had done all the work on the car themselves.” “It’s always tough to pick one car out of the hundreds in the Show, but this car certainly deserved to be recognized.” “The Function was a lot of fun,” Sid said. “It was the first time I’ve been, and it’s the best show I’ve ever been to. We’ll definitely be back.”

Mike Fohl’s 1973 Ford Bronco “I’ve been told that I have a knack for doing what looks right to a car...” by Rob Lafferty

s chief editor of the F4J magazine, Scott McKinley has the enjoyable but very difficult task each year of choosing one vehicle for the Editor’s Choice award out of perhaps a hundred prime candidates in the Show ‘n Shine. Last year his choice was made a bit easier when Mike Fohl of Beaverton brought his 1973 Ford Bronco for his first visit to the Function. Bright classic white, fully loaded with winch and tow gear, in immaculate condition and perfectly displayed, Mike’s Bronco sat on the corner of the main intersection and clearly stood out among the dozens of classic autos in view from that spot.

The Editor’s Choice award is the latest in a long list of awards Mike has brought home from shows all over the Northwest, including Outstanding Truck at the ISCA Portland Roadster Show in 2013 and Best in Show at Moses Lake, WA in 2014. “In three years of showing it I’ve won 57 awards,” Mike said. “It’s a show car, it’s pretty much a trailer queen, so I do haul it to most shows. I did drive the Bronco to a show in Tualatin last year while towing a ‘97 Porsche Carrera C45.” Mike has owned and built quite a few cars over the years, but the Bronco has some sentimental value as well. His second car was a new Bronco that his father helped him lift, cut and modify until the truck was just what Mike wanted. He drove it for about six years, rolling up into the mountains where he worked as a heavy equipment operator. A UofO graduate and former ski instructor at the university, Mike began a career in the insurance business in 1975 and eventually opened his own agency. These days he takes in a

lot of shows, especially now that he sold his business and has more time to travel. After raising his son and daughter as a single parent for 15 years, Mike met Connie McFall five years ago and now has her for company – along with Bentley, a Yorkie who rides with Connie – when he hits the road. “I know I’ve found my new life,” Mike said. “Connie isn’t a car person, she’s the co-owner of a business, but going to continued on next page

shows together is like a mini-vacation. They’re usually in a pleasant location like a park or a nice town, there’s usually good music and great food, and everyone is always happy.” Although he had too many choices to pick from, Scott McKinley didn’t have too much trouble selecting the Bronco for the Editor’s Choice award. “As a rugged utilitarian work vehicle, the Bronco’s appearance is deceiving,” Scott said. “With the white paint and chrome trim, its looks are very subtle. Mike’s craftsmanship and attention to details were superb, right on the money – it just looked right.” I congratulate Mike Fohl and his very nicely done ‘73 Ford Bronco on being the 2014 Editor’s Choice winner.”

ore than four hundred cars and trucks. Hundreds of classic makes and models. Dozens of uniquely customized rides. Almost a centuryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of automotive art on wheels. A handful of hand-crafted vehicles that defy description. All of those were on display at the 2014 Function 4 Junction Show â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;n Shine. On a warm and sunny Oregon springtime day in May, thousands of car lovers strolled six blocks of tree-shaded streets in downtown Junction City that were closed to traffic, soaking up the sights. Shops and vendors kept everyone refreshed with food, drink and other fun stuff during the annual all-day celebration of all things automotive. Some of those sights were captured by our small but skilled group of photographers. We offer just a few of their images over the next nine pages for your viewing pleasure...

Class in Session

It’s time again to bring out our toys and race fuel for some high-speed runs on the track. In 2015 we will be campaigning two race cars from Junction City, and we’re proud to help spread the word about the Function 4 Junction. Hard work, determination, sportsmanship and confidence are just some of the things we learn from auto sports, whether it’s building that show car or preparing for that next race. These tools that we learn an early age go a long way in life, and I would like to thank our local community supporters and the F4J board for keeping it going for the kids, schools and community. Last year brought us great success at the track as my son Trevin, who won the junior dragster fall series and was nominated by NHRA as a top performer in their November magazine.

At this time we are also getting ready to start the Boss, a 1937 Ford AA/S Coupe that we hope to race at all scheduled events this year. Check the Woodburn schedules for upcoming events. Hope to see you there. Let’s have a fun, SAFE summer! Chad Walberg

Friends. Family. Community. We’re all in this together. State Farm® has a long tradition of being there. That's one reason why I'm proud to support the Function 4 Junction.

Get to a better State®.

From full body frames to simple decorative paneling, wood was once an important element in American automotive design by Rob Lafferty

ntique automobiles are like little time machines that can transport people to a place that lives only in their memories or their imaginations. Every car enthusiast has one or two favorite models or styles of car that evoke a warm feeling of nostalgia each time they see one. The generations that came of age in the 1940s and 1950s know the American woodie wagon as one of those iconic images that stay with a person for a lifetime. Sadly, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a style that may never come back around again. That makes every

frames as well as doors, decorative panels and trim pieces. Often the interior was fashioned with carved and fitted mahogany while maple, birch and gumwood were also used to make bodies, floorboards and doors. At the peak era of woodie popularity it was the Ford-Mercury station wagons

that were most desirable. Often the toppriced model in the Ford line, the woodie became a status symbol in the same way that a Chris-Craft speedboat or a home on the rich side of town was used as a measure of success. They became the vehicle of choice for transporting guests at many high-end hotels, country clubs

and resorts. Ford Motor Co. went all-in when it came to woodie production. It was 1920 when Henry Ford bought large blocks of forest land in upper Michigan about 500 miles north of Detroit and built a facility at Iron Mountain where the continued next page

company grew its own trees, cut its own timber, ran its own sawmill and formed its own wooden body parts. It was a slow development process with only a few woodies built before 1928; it was 1929 before Ford mass-produced its Model A wagons, when it built 5,200 of them. Model A wagon bodies were fourdoors with piano hinges at the A and C pillars so that the rear doors opened suicide-style. Only the windshield was glass; all other windows had canvas curtains with small plastic openings that limited visibility. By the mid-1940s the wood frame was being replaced with metal, leaving wood relegated mostly to trim and decorative panels. Just over two decades after they began, in 1951 Ford stopped

producing woodie wagons altogether because the market had changed. The impractical nature of wooden body automobiles grew more obvious when the cars aged and began to squeak and

rattle as seams and joints started pulling loose. They were also the only vehicles aside from wooden boats that had to contend with dry rot and termites. The extra maintenance that was required (most manuals called for the wood to be stripped and re-varnished every year) began to lessen their appeal among folks who could afford almost any car on any showroom floor. As older woodies started turning up on the used car market, they were snapped up by military veterans and young drivers, especially on the West Coast. From the mid-1950s all the way through the 1960s, woodies were a common sight on the beaches of California as surfing began to grow in popularity. Musical groups like the Beach Boys and Jan & Dean spread that romantic beach party image across the country when woodies started showing up in their song lyrics.

And so ended an era – they were the last of the factory-built wood-bodied American cars. By the 1970s the use of real wood for trim and decoration was almost a lost art. Instead, a few models were being fitted with metal and vinyl panels painted to give them a woodgrain effect. The art of using wood in automobile design was left to a handful of innovative, individual car builders. More woodies on page 50

OK, we don’t actually know how to do that, but Dick Mart certainly does... by Richard L. Smith and Rob Lafferty

ick Mart is a retired shop teacher, so it seems appropriate that the Springfield resident now devotes his time to the fine art of classic car restoration. What began as a hobby thirty years ago has grown into a passion for him today, and he has developed the skills to build several truly unique automobiles. After restoring and modifying different types of custom cars and hot rods over the years, Dick decided that he wanted to craft his own style of vehicle. After doing some research he settled on woodie wagon designs as the body form he wanted to start from. “The hardest part of building a car is budgeting the money,” Dick said. “First you decide on the model year, then order parts as you progress. Tires, wheels and the steering assembly are needed early if you plan to move the car around during the build. Glass, upholstery and paint come later.” “Other hurdles need to be planned for and overcome, such as how much time can you spend – or are willing to spend – on the project. Treat it like a job and devote 4-5 hours a day to it. Of course, being retired means that every day is like a Saturday for me now, so that really helps.”

“You should sub out any work that’s beyond your ability. Always pay for quality. Availability of parts is a key factor. And expect the project to cost twice as much and take twice as long as you had planned.” “A custom-built vehicle needs to be licensed and title must go through the DMV, so document everything with photos and receipts. Then you should apply for a VIN number as an assembled vehicle rather than as a replica.”

Dick Mart brought two of his custom-built woodies to the F4J in 2013. Both were sold earlier this year, so a new build is underway.

A Cheshire craftsman builds a matched pair

photo by

Hank Schultz

story and photography by Richard L. Smith

fter a journey from Montana to Seattle to Cheshire, what was once a 1940 Packard 4-door sedan has been transformed into a one-of-a-kind woodie estate wagon. Tenold and Karen Peterson are the car’s owners; Tenold is the craftsman responsible for the car’s complete makeover. He heard about the crusty, unfinished car from a friend who saw it for sale online. A trip to Seattle for a look turned into an immediate purchase, even though the car needed a full restoration right down to its rusted-out floorboards. A chance comment about extra parts led to Tenold crawling under the owner’s house to pull out chrome trim pieces and a variety of other parts he would need. That was the first episode in a labor of love that took more than a dozen years to complete. A full frame-off restoration and full custom redesign converted the Packard into a 5-door wagon. It still has Packard characteristics and signature parts, such as the hood ornament, but two-thirds of the body lines are now crafted out of wood. The car has a Mustang front end, a Camaro 350 LT1 V8 under the hood, a 9-inch Ford rear end and electronic 5-speed transmission. Tenold added power steering, disc brakes, coil springs, independent suspension and an instrument panel to make it safer and easier to drive. Power windows and A/C were also included for comfort.

Hank Schultz

The rear compartment is big and roomy, at least until Tenold fills it up with a collapsible wooden dinghy he built himself. The small boat can be disassembled into three nesting pieces and lifted into the wagon through the wide back opening. There are compartments built into the space to hold fishing tackle and rods, and small hidden compartments to store valuables. It’s been shown at the Function and other shows but this car is a road machine. Tenold drives it regularly and does the necessary maintenance himself, which includes fresh coats of clear varnish every year on the maple, teak and cedar wood components. As long as master craftsmen like Tenold Peterson are around and hard at work, the iconic woodie wagon will be around, too.

About three dozen merchant awards are given out at the show. Awards typically have a theme – for example, the Port of Siuslaw has named their award “Most Radical Land Yacht” while the Bay Street Grille sponsors the “Best Grill” award. There are also dignitary awards such as Mayor’s Choice, Police Chief’s Choice, Fire Chief’s choice, and others that change from year to year. Rods ‘N Rhodies always falls on the weekend following Labor Day, which sets this year’s show to run from Sept. 18-20. It definitely should be on your to-do list for this year. Even if you know nothing about cars, you can’t help but appreciate and enjoy the craftsmanship and fine details that stand out in the automobiles on display. You might even see body lines and chrome work that you’ve only seen before in magazines.

Jim and Kathy Schuette of Salem took Best of Show in the Open Class for their 1958 Buick Limited.

Y ac h at s Fall Blues Show &

Shine

Fine classic cars cruise over to the Oregon Coast where drivers listen to some cool music and hold a cool seaside show... story and photography by Bob Blue

n a lazy weekend in September, the lilting traffic in Yachats began to intensify as the late summer sun shone across the Pacific Ocean. Faint rumblings from the north and south rolled together into a triumphant roar. A parade of more than a hundred

vintage automobiles streamed along the winding ribbon of Highway 101 and rolled up to the welcoming respite of the Yachats Inn. For three days, the coastal town hosts the very popular Fall Blues Show & Shine. Car enthusiasts flock to the annual surf and turf event, and 2014

proved to be a distinguished year for enthusiasts of all ages. Waves crashed into the beach just feet from where the Inn’s landscape was neatly lined with street machines of the finest craftsmanship. Classics, hot rods, muscle cars, pickups, and customs were on display, shimmering

in the sun. Attendees enjoyed a gallery rich with brilliant colors of steel and the glistening chrome emblems of Fords, Chevrolets, Mopars, and Pontiacs, to name just a few. Saturday morning the festivities kicked off with a special Pancake Toss Breakfast as patrons began to take in the splendor of their vehicular surroundings.

The Drift Inn catered classic favorites to the crowd – hamburgers and hot dogs for lunch and a full spread for dinner, complete with barbecue chicken, potato salad, corn, and berry cobbler. With their bellies full, patrons mingled and perused the automotive eye candy as The Rose City Rats belted out the see Yachats on page 75

Fall Blues Show & Shine

blues across the grass all afternoon. Later in the evening, things heated up even more as the Purple Cats provided a lively soundtrack in the Tea House while guests danced the night away. Sunday began with a cool blanket of fog and a hearty breakfast of biscuits and gravy. The smell of saltwater swelled in the air and nostalgic stories and genuine camaraderie drifted in the breeze. At 10am the Show & Shine ceremonies got underway with a plethora of amazing hand-crafted headlight clocks awarded to the well-earned winners in a slew of categories. The big winners of the 2014 event were Lee and Glenda Stilwell, from Klamath Falls. When they first acquired their see Yachats next page

1949 Studebaker pickup it was a total rustbucket, but after four years and a lot of hard work, the Stilwells transformed their “Stude” into a stunning emerald jewel of a truck. Their dedication paid off as they won awards in three categories – Long Distance, Norm’s Pick, and the coveted Participant’s Choice. Another special entry was a sleek 1937 Plymouth Business Coupe, complete with a jet-black paint job, suicide doors, and an attitude. Yachats local, Bob Musil and his aptly named Coupe, “Dracula,” took home the prize for Butch’s Pick. There were some wild modified cars to be seen as well. The Best Rat Rod award went to Bob Young from Myrtle Point

for his 1961 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. Young outdid himself with a lavish interior for his ride, covering everything in purple faux-leopard fur, with Mardis Gras beads hanging from the rearview mirror and a silver skull shifter. A triumph of splendor, indeed. hat’s just a few highlights of all the sights and sounds to be found at this fantastic celebration. Space limits the amount of entries to about 100 participating vehicles in the highly anticipated event, and it clearly showcases the best of the best. The Fall Blues Show & Shine is

one of the best antique auto get-togethers on the West Coast, and 2015 is gearing up to be an amazing experience as well. Buckle up and come see what all the fun is about this September 11th–13th at the Yachats Inn.

f you own a classic or custom car that first rolled down a highway more than 35 years ago, you can bring it over to Coos Bay in the fall to Cruz the Coos and enter the Shore Acres Show ‘n Shine. You’d better register that car early, however, as only 300 cars get in the show while 500 cars get to roll in the Cruz – and both events fill up quickly every year. The 2014 show was held on a beautiful, sunny Saturday in September. It was staged as part of the Bay Area Fun Festival at Shore Acres State Park with the Pacific Ocean as a backdrop, and it started early with cars streaming in at 8am from up and down the coast highway. The judges announced the trophy winners at 2pm, which continued next page

Join us in Junction City for a Semi-Truck Show ‘n Shine and Downtown Cruise! The 3rd Annual Truck Function in Junction will be held July 18, 2015 at Junction City High School

ith clear blue skies and warm temperatures, last year’s Truck Function welcomed almost 90 trucks, more than doubling the first year’s count. The size of the crowds almost doubled as well. Everybody from young to old seemed to stop in to check out all of the fine rides parked in the Junction City High School parking lot for the show portion of the event. A few of the local street rodders pulled up in their roadsters and realized that many of the trucks highly resembled their roadsters parked outside. As with most truck shows, the most enjoyable spectators to see are the kids and their excitement at seeing all of these giant and beautiful rides. Most of the kids had done laps around each truck several times before they even realized that there was a snow-cone stand! By 10am almost the entire west side of the high school parking lot was packed – but the trucks kept pouring in! Before we knew it, trucks were filling the entire east side of the parking lot as well. As the day went on, the conversations went from truck show highlights to talk about the up-and-coming cruise later that evening around Junction City, and before we knew it, it was time to fire up the wagons. continued on page

Truck Function from page 85

he truck cruise kicked off around 6:30pm without a hitch, boasting over 80 trucks, all fired up and ready to go. Junction City’s local police department, as well as over 50 volunteers, did a great job closing off the main drag and most of the side streets in downtown Junction

City to make this event so special. And before we knew it, our number of rigs began to grow. The 2014 event drew a lot more people to the streets than the first year as well – every intersection was packed with spectators, and let’s just say the local Dairy Queen was hoppin’ a lot more than usual. The whole day flew by very quick

We Remember

very year the joy of going to the Function 4 Junction is tempered just a little by the memories of a few beloved souls who enjoyed their final Show ‘N Shine and Cruise the year before. This year the community lost Gladys Gibson, matriarch of the family that operates Lochmead Dairy and the Dari-Mart chain of small markets. Gladys and her husband Howard were sponsors of the very first Function, and their family continues to support it with donations, advertising and magazine distribution today. They even allow us to us their headquarters parking lot as the backdrop to photograph award winners.

Larry’s Last Ride

He wasn’t there in person, but Larry Glaspey was at the 2014 Function in spirit as his brothers took one final lap of the Cruise in Larry’s honor. Larry was well-known in the car club community for being a classic car enthusiast. Every year Larry and brothers Ed and Dan would all gather with their families to take in the Show before having dinner together, then ride in the Cruise all evening. That all changed when Larry’s health began to deteriorate. Last year he was living in hospice care when the Function came around and he wasn’t physically able to come out to enjoy the day.

The rest of the family did go, then went to visit Larry. Ed brought him some memorabilia, including a shirt, just as they did every year. Larry was fading quickly Larry Glaspey, right. and Ed knew that His brother Ed with his time was short, Larry’s car, above. so they took Larry’s shirt and went back to the Cruise to take one last lap in his honor. Larry passed away the following day. According to Ed, there was one small problem with that memorial gesture – Larry was always a Ford guy while Ed has always been a Chevy guy, and Ed took that symbolic last ride in his ‘55 Chevy. “At Larry’s funeral I told everybody that when I see Larry in Heaven, he’s gonna give me a really hard time about that last ride,” Ed said. The Function 4 Junction board of directors would like to recognize the contributions of those people noted on this page, and also extend their gratitude and best wishes to the families of all Function fans who lost a loved one this year.

This memorial seen in the 2014 Cruise is for Darlene Stitchler, whose husband Jack cruised the truck (known for its tall flame-throwers) for many years. When he died a few years ago, the family parked the truck at the Cruise in his honor, then his wife and children drove it in every Cruise. With Darlene’s passing last year the family parked it in memorium again, but they say they’ll be back throwing flames again this year.
