Anyone up for a Parade?

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in bringing their Ferrari into a Parade on Sunday May 15th.,2005 in Lombard,Il. This is their annual "Lilac Day Parade" that they've held for Many,many years. It is in May,so it should still be somewhat cool temperatures. The Cars should be fine. No overheating. (I know that after going through the Morton Arboretum last fall,in low 80 or High 70 degree temps did not affect my car at all. And,that was Very Slow moving driving....) And,I'll even buy you a bottle of "Water Wetter" that you add to your Coolant,and it will keep your Coolant 10 Degrees cooler,if you want. They use it alot in Corvettes,and Race Cars. I used to use it in the 1981 HotRod 'Vette that I had,and it kept it cool.

And,they usually have a couple other car clubs,some that have had really Old cars,and I have never seen any car,of any kind,in the 15 years that I've attended this parade,ever overheat. (Including "Dragula"... )

But,they give out Awards...either Trophies or Plaques for the Car Clubs. And,I believe they give them out for 1st.,2nd.,and 3rd. But,last year,for some reason,there was only one or two Car clubs that attended. So,an award would've been a shoe in. Probably this Year,too. And,we know how people go "GaGa" over Ferrari's when they see them. I think we'd be a hit,for sure.

Anyway. This is "Ferrari's Only",this time. And,only "Older Ferrari Cars" that either ARE 25 years old,or more. Or,have a DESIGN that is 25 years old or more. So,308,328,Daytona's and Boxers would qualify. And,ofcourse,any other Older Ferrari or Replica of one....

Also,this would be a great opportunity to get out the F.O.C.,as,we could put our Banners on the Cars,too. But,you don't have to be an F.O.C. Member to participate in this one. But,the Car Must be a Ferrari. (Or Replica of an older one)

So,if anyone wants to,let me know. I would need to enter us pretty soon. Something to think about....It is not very long,and will not take more than a few Hours,between Staging,and driving through. But,I really think that we'd be a hit. And,it would be fun,someting different to do. Not to mention,free publicity....Then,we can go somewhere and eat,(on me.)

It starts at 1:30PM.

 

Well,we need at least 4-5 Cars....so,if anyone is interested,post here,please. I am going out of town for a couple weeks,and will check when I get back. If we have enough who want to do it,cool. And,I'll organize it. It really Should be alot of fun,no doubt. Bring a Kid along with you....they'll be really thrilled....

(Maybe get a picture of your car next to Dragula.... )

 

Fantastico!

 

WE could still use a few more cars,if anyone else is interested. We do have enough to enter now. But,the more the merrier!

 

328's will also qualify,as,they have basically the same body as the 308.....

 

O.K. I have until next Wednesday,April 20th. to add any more Cars. If you would like to be in,please let me know by then. It should be alot of Fun,and not take all day. The Criteria is that the Car,or it's Design is at least 25 Years old.

 

The application is in,and we have our Cars all set for the Parade. No more. See you guys there!
