A veritable history of cars, with autos spanning
nearly 100 years, dotted the Touchmark campus
during the recent car show. They included …
• 1917 Chevrolet 490
• 1928 Ford Model AA
• 1931 Cadillac Sport Phaeton
• 1940 Buick 41, 4-door sedan
• 1955 Pontiac Starchief

• 1975 VW Street Dune Buggy
• 1985 Mercedes 420 SEL

Proud car owners included Grant Person, who
served as the event’s grand marshal and shared
two of his vehicles. One is a restored 1931 Buick;
the other is an original 1940 Buick. Grant’s
grandfather gave him the 1940 Buick, and he has
treasured the car since he was 16 years old.

Harry Mielke won the grand marshal choice award
and participants’ choice award for his 16-cylinder
1931 Cadillac Sport Phaeton.“This was a thoroughly
enjoyable event. It was a well run event, no pressure
involved, had class, and was a lot of fun. We were
treated to breakfast and lunch. The assortment of
cars was of good quality.”
