An Afternoon at the Prospect CT Sock Hop and Car
Last weekend was the sock Hop and Car show in the center of Prospect CT, and it was a rousing success. Over 850 cars of all types were there and the procession of people viewing the cars was nonstop.
Ther were all types of cars and trucks and several special interest autos that gathered a lot of attention.
To me, this 1911 Packard Model 50 was the attention grabber as it was found in a barn in Greenwich CT and originally had been purchased by Jacob Ruppert, owner of a brewing company and a baseball team called the Yankees.
It was a National Prize winner at the AACA show in Hershey PA as well.
here were a[[ manner of classics from the 50's, 60's and 70's. One car that had a large following was a 58 Corvette that was still owned by the original family.
From afar this one car seemed to have considerable celebrity status as one was seeing Jon Bon Jovi sitting at the wheel.
A 1974 Chevy Corvette originally special ordered for Jon Bon Jovi and the bill of sale autographed by him. It drew a lot of attention but as will happen at car shows, all will see cars from their glory days and wonder where that car is today.
It was a very pleasant afternoon and a great turnout for the Sock Hop.
Next year should be larger as it's the 40th year.
