The Annual Main Street American Car Show 29 July 2023
Hey Fellow Cruisers,
The Annual Main Street America Car Show, produced by the Corvette Owners Club of San Diego was on Saturday, 7/29/23. The show was a fund raiser for the San Diego Center for the Blind. As usual. it was a beautiful warm and sunny day at the Embarcadero Marina Park North.
Even though it was not a club supported event, the club had pretty good representation.
John McDowell in his ’47 Ford Hot Rod, Bob Dunn in his ’68 Camaro, and Joyce and me in our ’37 Buick Special Coupe caravanned to the event, arriving around 6:45a. After a short wait, Craig Moya of the Corvette Owners Club of San Diego opened parking and the show was on. Once we got parked along the east side of the south 40 by the marina and prepped the cars for the show, we checked out the rest of the park. Making the rounds, we found 5 more Poway Cruiser member cars bringing the club total to 8 cars.
Participation for the show was very good, although participation appeared to be down some. However, it became very crowded with spectators. They had several automotive product venders and a food venders on hand all day.
The show wound to a close with the traditional award ceremony and 50/50 OD. Poway Cruisers cars that won were: Jason Clements Rolls Royse Convertible, John McDowell’s ’47 Ford Business Coupe, and Dale Vermillion’s ’68 Corvette.
Poway Cruisers I spotted were:
George and Joyce Cowman with their ’37 Buick, John McDowell in his ’47 Ford Business Coupe:
Bob Dunn and his ’68 Camaro, Jason Clements Rolls Royce Convertible
Dale Vermillion’s ’67 Corvette, Doug Smith in his MK2 Jaguar Restro-Mod:
Fred & Pat Adler with their ’91 Porsche Carrera Cabriolet , Roger & Mary Schweid and their ’88 Mercedes Benz 560 SEC Coupe.
Hanging out with our friends from the Heartbeat Classics Car Club.
Good time had by all. Too bad the Port Authority is letting the park fade. Most trees are gone, and grass is going to seed. This had been one of the best public car show venues in southern California for decades.

Cruisin Grand Friday 14 July 2023
Well, we had a pretty successful Friday evening at Cruisin Grand! We had 31 cars signed up, with only 7 “no show”, so a respectable 24 cars parked on South Broadway. I think we had a very good showing, great people, and a lot of quality vehicles to show. Our car count worked well, as the fire department decided that there needed to be 2 fire lanes right through the middle of the street, reducing capacity by 10-12 vehicles.
Ray Kusmer’s just finished ’58 Impala and Steven Bauman’s 67 Mustang we’re selected for CG Favorites Awards.
As always, the Poway Cruisers do bring the fun!
