The OctoberFest 2011 Presented by the Capital City Cruisers

Octoberfest 2011 presented by the Capital City Cruisers.

The Capital City Cruisers‘ OctoberFest 2011 and Toy Run was held Saturday, Oct. 22nd in the Lowes parking lot in Citrus Heights, CA. Toys were collected to benefit the Gifts From the Heart program in Sacramento County. The weather cooperated by warming up to the 80’s by mid afternoon. I believe there were a little over 200 cars squeezed into a pretty small area. Several other local car clubs participated, including: Rods & Relics, Midyear Sting Rays, and the River City Chapter of the Falcon Club of America. It was a great day for a great cause with a lot of great cars.

Here are a few of our favorites:

A totally restored 1967 Chevelle SS 396 owned by Dennis Ensley from Meadow Vista, CA.

A very rare 1968 Shelby GT 500 owned by Tom & Dee Agan from Roseville, CA.
A 1939 Ford Pickup with a stock 85 hp Flathead V8 owned by Fred Krohn from Rocklin, CA.
A flamed 1963 Ford Falcon convertible owned by Ken & Kathy Knutson from Fair Oaks, CA.
A very clean 1952 Chevy Pickup owned by Dale Petersen from Roseville, CA.
A 1950 Ford Custom.

Is your last name Ford?

If your last name is Ford you have an advantage over the rest of us. When it is time to have engagement or wedding pictures taken, you can at least include a nice old Ford truck in the photos and it is considered artistic. Admittedly, I am not a real fan of the hundreds of wedding pictures that people take, but these are really cool, especially if you like old trucks like I do. Check these out.
