Cars bring memories of days gone by
There’s something about the cars of your
youth that brings back memories, and every
year more people at the Thresher Reunion
can experience the nostalgia. The number of
old cars at the reunion continues to grow,
hitting about 65 last year, according to Bill
Crawford of Clinton, chairman of the car
displays.
And the number of cars bringing back
memories will continue to increase because
all cars over 30 years old are considered
classics which means that many of those
traditional 1950’s cars like the 1955
Thunderbird and the 1957 and 1958 Chevies
Classic cars are a passion for many of the more than 60 people who show cars at the
Thresher Reunion. They bring back old memories to the show ’s visitors too.

now qualify for showing.
The auto show brings a lot of interest, Mr.
Crawford says, adding one more dimension
to the Thresher Reunion that has interesting
things for so many different people.
A prize is given out each year for the best
pre-World War II automobile. It brings out
some beautiful cars like tbe 1932 Desota of
Murray Hall of Wingham that won the
trophy last year or the 1907 Cadillac of
Burton Pinder of Paisley the year before.
Every year such outstanding cars turn up
but he seldom knows in advance, Mr.
Crawford says, which cars will be on display.
The cars just turn up, are registered and get
tags in their windows to make them eligible
for the judging.
Besides registering the cars, Mr. Craw
ford’s job involves making sure there are
judges on hand to choose the trophy winner.
Although he enjoys old cars himself, Mr.
Crawford isnot a collector or restorer. He got
