The South Side Cruisers gathered for their first event of the season in Willow Springs. A number of car clubs participated but I don’t have a complete list. The ones I can document are Street Style, Viejitos, Independent, Clandestino, Suenos Divinos, Good Times and Gordos. My event photo gallery is here.
This 1966 Chrysler 300 (no letter) is the only car I remember having seen before and that was at the 2012 Berwyn Rouse 66 Car Show here.
Here are group photos of some of the clubs.
Music from the event
Clubs brought their own music so it was eclectic.
- Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood by Eric Burdon and The Animals appearing on the Ed Sullivan Show
- Shotgun by Junior Walker & The All Stars
- Ebb Tide by Bobby Hatfield of The Righteous Brothers
- Cruisin’ Baby by Rudy and the Cruisers
- The Wanderer by Dion and The Belmonts
- Frankie & Johnny by Sara Tidwell (I chose this because I couldn’t find the rendition I heard)
- It’s A Man’s World by James Brown
