Cruisers’ April Car Show Cruiser of the Month!

Greetings Cruisers!
It was a PERFECT day for a car show! It was pleasantly warm, sunny, and breezy. We had over 70 cars in attendance and several new Cruisers, including our Cruiser of the Month, Steve Juelke.

This was Steve’s first Lake Country Cruisers show, and his 1948 Custom Studebaker Champion Street Rod was spectacular! Steve’s machine is powered by a 1995 LT1 Corvette small-block engine and is driver-friendly with a Corvette 4-speed automatic transmission. The car has been chopped, shaved, and lowered, and was built in the late 1990s.

We also had a trailered red Cobra kit car and a Shelby Daytona Coupe replica that were first timers.

Our next Lake Country Cruisers Car Show will be Saturday, May 9, 2026, at American Legion Post 25 in Lake Placid, Florida. That will be our last car show for the spring season. The show officially begins at 11:00 am and concludes at 1:30 pm. But you can arrive as early as you like, we’ll be there. And for all of you early attendees, we will have FREE coffee and Dunkin Donuts!

The Legion will be serving burgers and hot dogs out back on the grill, so bring your appetite along. And, if you are an American Legion member, you can get an adult beverage inside at Post 25’s friendly Bar,

And, don’t forget we have cool door prizes and a very generous 50/50, with a runner-up prize for one of Lake Placid’s restaurants.

Cool cars, Rock’n Roll music, prizes, FREE coffee & donuts, burgers & hot dogs on the grill, and great friends! BIG FUN on a Saturday?

Our car shows will start again on Saturday, October 10, 2026.

As car show events come up, we’ll let you know. – Scott, Pete, & Ron

Greetings Cruisers! Most of us came of age during the 1960s and early 1970s Muscle Car Era. By the end of the ’60s, Detroit made muscle car versions of most of its cars. Some were just stripe and trim options, others were beasts. 1970 was arguably the pinnacle of the era and we quickly saw Detroit drop its muscle cars like hot potatoes!

Corvettes and Firebirds sold very well in the mid-to-late ’70s and early ’80s. In 1984 Chevy dished up the C4 Corvette that in 1985 was the “Fastest Car in America” according to Car and Driver (clocked at 150 mph!) and Corvette totally dominated the SCCA Showroom Stock Series, winning every race in 1985, 1986, and 1987. The series pitted sports cars against sports cars.

IROC Camaros and Trans-Am Firebirds looked cool but lacked any serious grunt. However, there was one very bright spot on the performance car scene and it came from, of all car companies, Buick! The performance engine design group, headed by Tom Wallace (who later became the fourth Corvette Chief Engineer in 2006) was experimenting with turbocharged all-aluminum V6 engines.
