Morley Ouderkirk, friend and fellow hot rod enthusiast, was chauferring the entire editorial staff (me) to Brockville’s annual “Automotion” car show.

This is the 24th year for the show, organized by the 1000 Island Street Machines Association, and what a year it was-700 cars, thousands of spectators, and $3,000 raised for the local United Way. Although most of the chatter yesterday revolved around how well it was organized, the chatter today is about the amazing range of cars that showed up.
