Zeeland "Feel the Zeel" Car Show 2009

It started out with a storm but ended up a beautiful day. Must have been about 200 or so cars lining the streets of Zeeland. The Chevys really pulled the biggest list of winners with some 57's taking the plaques for Sponsor's Choice Awards. A number of Mustangs also won.
Take a look at some of the winners. And some of the attendees, too! Just because you don't win, doesn't mean your car is not number one in my book!!


This straight, clean and well equipped Chevy Chevelle won a plaque. Excellent paint and polish. Chrome but not too much....



Remember the ads for this car? "Where is the other half of your car, toots?" Thanks for making this car a "winner." Very nice!

I love the Mustangs, of course. This very clean and straight 65 is just like I remember it from my youth. (That was a looong time ago!)

To my friend, Jim. You should have seen this one! One of the sharpest Mustangs of this style I have seen. And with your stable full, I have seen a few!





This British Taxi Cab was in excellent condition. The owner spent many years rebuilding it. Does it look familiar? It was once parked out in front of Roaring 20's Restaurant on 28th St. in Grand Rapids. Yup. This is the one!


This is one of the 1957 Chevys that won. So very nice. Bill, you would have loved this hot rod!


These three old timers belong to Jerk and his son. As always, standing tall and showing off. What nice cars Jerk brings to the shows. Thanks, Jerk!





Took some "heat" and got shot up a bit, but this is a "kool" car! Thanks for showing it to us!

This is for my good friend Eddie who left me and went to California. You missed a great show, my friend. You would have loved this sharp Ford!! Hope you are still taking in some car shows. California has some of the best in the nation!

This Corvette was parked two cars away from Janie and I. What a cool color! It is blue, no, green, no, gold, purple? Well anyway, the owner was very proud! And he has more vettes at home!

That is only half of the Zeeland Car Show cars. I will post the rest another day!
Mike's Show-N-Shine would like to thank all the sponsors of this event, the many workers, participants, and the City of Zeeland for putting on this great show. As always, we had a wonderful time.

NEW INFORMATION!!

Note: I have information on who it is who actually puts on the show. Ann L. Query is the President of the Chamber of Commerce and she is very instrumental along with Mary Nyhof and her many "car friends." Funding comes strictly from the sponsors, so a big KUDOs to them. They do have the support of the City of Zeeland, of course, but no taxpayer money is used to put on the show. Thank you Ann for the information! And thanks to you, Mary, and her many friends who do the hard work to make this show the great event that it is. Best wishes to you all!
