Sponsor Reviews….
Watson Quality Ford is one of the original sponsors of the
Mississippi Classic Cruisers dating back to 2004. A lot of our
members have been buying cars and trucks from Watson for
many years and all give them high marks for quality and
service. If you are looking to buy a new or used vehicle in the
future, be sure to visit Watson Quality Ford off I-55 in North
Jackson. If you haven't been by the dealership lately you will see that the front of
their showroom recently underwent a beautiful face lift. The ultra modern design
looks great. Also, for you muscle car lovers they have a nice inventory of new
Mustangs including a red & black 2011 Shelby GT500 and a gray & blue 2009
Shelby GT500KR. For your next new or used car or truck be sure to stop by Watson
Quality Ford and tell 'em you are a Mississippi Classic Cruiser!

GT500 is looking for new home. Be sure to stop
by Watson Quality Ford for your next new or
used vehicle!
MCC sponsor Venable Glass
provides our members with two
great locations to buy glass for
their classic cars & family
vehicles as well as for home and
business. With 22 experienced
employees, a location on Highway
51 in Ridgeland and a second on
Woodgate Drive in Brandon, our
members have two convenient
locations for their glass needs.
Owner Roger Venable advises that
he can supply glass for just about any classic car or truck and can custom cut glass
for your hot rod as well. He can also provide glass for your home including mirrors,
shower doors and table tops. Best of all Roger is a “car guy” and owns a pro-street
‟68 Chevy Camaro with a 502 crate motor. Be sure to call Roger at 601-605-4443
or visit his web site at http://www.venableglass.com for all your glass needs. Be
sure to let „em know that you are a Mississippi Classic Cruiser!

MCC Member Charlie Harrison from Lauderdale, MS drives at Talladega!
On Friday, June 11th, we left the Meridian area
for a trip to the Spring Classic Car Show at the
Talladega Superspeedway. All pre-registered
vehicles were allowed to make two 'paced' laps
around the track, (don't be deceived by the word
'paced'). Our group included Butch Burks (66
Nova), Tommy Marshall (57 Chevy), Billy
Williamson (39 Chevy), and my 47 Studebaker
pickup. We had others who arrived on Saturday.
When we arrived Friday afternoon we were allowed to unload everything, (canopies,
lawn chairs, fans, generator, etc.) and set up for the Saturday show. Saturday morning
we uncovered our vehicles and prepared for our turn around the track. Each vehicle
had a picture taken prior to driving around the track. It was a great experience and we
all plan to return for the next event.
What Could Have Been from Ford & Chevrolet back in the day….
The “Truckstang” is owned by
MCC member Marcus Ellis, Jr.
of Walnut Grove, MS. It started
life as a 1990 Ford Mustang LX
Sedan. The concept was based
loosely upon the Ford Ranchero
idea, and was a concept vehicle to
be proposed to Ford Motor
Company. Ford recognized the concept as “interesting” but of limited commercial
value. After failing to obtain Ford‟s interest, the idea was to develop a fiberglass
“tub” that could be used on any Mustang, to make it into a utility truck. FoMoCo was
interested in the vehicle only as a novelty and the copyright / patent infringement
concerns prevented any further development of that concept. Hence, the “Truckstang”
remains a one-off design that has never been copied. Let‟s hope Marcus will bring
this beautiful “Truckstang” to the Scarecrow event in October. It would certainly be a
contender for the “Most Unique Vehicle Award!”
MCC Member / Sponsor
Henry Adams of Jackson is the
owner of the one-off 1957
Chevy Bel Air El Camino
convertible. The car was
customized in California. The
man built two of them from a
210 series station wagon, the other one has not been found to date. It has an oak bed,
9" Ford rear end, 396 engine with 400 turbo, custom gauges, four wheel disk brakes,
convertible top and Bel Air was air brushed on quarter trim panels. Let's hope that
this unique vehicle will also find its way to the Scarecrow event in October!
MCC’s 7th Annual Scarecrow Cruise & Car Show will soon be here!
Planning for this two day event (October 22-23, 2010) has already started and looks to be
the biggest and best ever! If you would like to be a volunteer or sponsor at this year's
event contact MCC members Tom Phillips at 601-259-5248
or TomP1951@aol.com or Mike Martin at 601-906-1196 or
mikeamartin02349@aol.com.
"Remember me? Me and my sweet 1970 Plymouth
Superbird won the Most Handsome and Top Car
Awards at the 2009 Scarecrow event. Lady Scarecrow
hopes to unseat me at the 2010 event. What she doesn't
know is that I have been working out and I'm even
more handsome than before. No doubt I'll get the
ladies' votes. Be sure to vote for me in October!"
Mr. Scarecrow
"Mr. Scarecrow thinks he is going to take home some
awards at the 2010 Scarecrow Cruise & Car
Show. What he doesn't know is that I will be entering
my new street rod in the 2010 event. I'll also
be spending the summer in a local clinic for a little nip
and tuck that will make me absolutely stunning."
Lady Scarecrow
We are pleased to advise that BankPlus is coming
back as the title sponsor for the 2010 Scarecrow
event! BankPlus is a great supporter of
community events and we are extremely proud
of our association with this fine company.
THANK YOU BankPlus for your ongoing
support!
We are also pleased to advise that SIDS will be joining us once
again for the 7th Annual Scarecrow event on October 22-23 in
Madison with their Shopping For SIDS. More than 50
vendors will have unbelievable items for sale primarily for the
ladies enjoyment. To learn more about the Mississippi SIDS

Scarecrow Cruise & Car Show Updates Continued…..
Also, for the first time, Hope Hollow will be joining this year's event with a huge
silent auction. Some of the unbelievable silent auction items collected thus far include
several trips including a one week trip to Italy's Tuscany Valley staying in a home, 2
trips (one week each) on an African Safari and a one week trip to Hilton Head staying
in a condo. These are just a few of the many silent auction items that will be up for
auction at the Scarecrow event in October. Hope Hollow is a camp for children with
disabilities located on Catlett Road between Madison and Canton. To learn more
about Hope Hollow visit www.hopehollowms.org.
The 2010 event will be at the same location as last
year, the corner of Main Street and Highway 51 in
Madison that is now the new home of Tulane
University's Madison Campus. With the addition of
Tulane brings a new parking lot that will add 70 new
paved parking spaces right in the center of all the
activity for the car guys!
Pictured is Sherry Chance, Director of Tulane's
Madison Campus looking at past Scarecrow posters.
A big thank you is in order for Sherry as she was kind
enough to move Tulane's fall break back one week so
that we could have uninterrupted access to the new
parking lot. Thank you again Sherry Chance!
A big thank you is order for all the companies that have already committed to
supporting the 2010 Scarecrow Cruise & Car Show as follows:
