R.I.P. to Our Dear Friend & Lake Country Cruiser Founder, Mary Carol Plott

Published on by corvettesLeave a comment

Hello Cruisers!
   It is with great sadness that we regret to inform you of the passing of our dear friend and co-founder of Lake Country Cruisers, Mary Carol Plott.

Mary Carol Plott & John Meyerhoff, May 2015 Vette Vues magazine photo shoot.

On Wednesday, October 7, 2026, she fell ill while handling some Highlands County Corvettes business at Huston Chevrolet in Avon Park.

She was taken to the hospital and passed before her long-time partner, John Meyerhoff, arrived at the hospital. As of today (October 8, 2026), funeral arrangements have not yet been made. We will let you know when they are made.

Lake Country Cruisers was launched in 2003 by Ross Longo, Mary Carol Plott, Edde King, and many volunteer friends. Lake Country Cruisers Car Club, in Lake Placid, Florida, has been continuously active with car shows since 2003.

You can read the club’s history HERE.

Mary Carol and John were presented in Vette Vues Magazine as the Corvette Power Couple in 2015 in a 2-part series. Part 1, Part 2.

PS – Mary Carol was a BRIGHT LIGHT, and we will miss her terribly. It turned out that I had more photos of Mary Carol and her beautiful Corvettes than I realized. – Scott

Our Corvette friend Tom Bungard needs your help

Published on by corvettesLeave a comment

Greetings Cruisers!
   Last Saturday at our May 2026 Lake Country Cruisers Car Show, our Highlands County Corvettes friend, John Meyerhoff, made a special announcement about the misfortune our car mechanic friend, Tom Bungard, has suffered. 

While out fishing on Lake Istokpoga, Tom had a bug fly into his eye. Unfortunately, the bug carried a bacteria that led to a serious infection, requiring an eye operation to replace his cornea. The medical bills for the surgery and follow-up appointments are overwhelming, and Tom could use a helping hand from the community he’s served.

If you would like to help our car pal, you can make a GoFundMe donation, HERE.

Enjoy the summer, and y’all stay cool!  – Scott, Pete, Ron, & Gary

Greetings Cruisers!
   Yes, it sure was HOT last Saturday, but we sure had a good time!

Our Cruiser of the Month was Rick Broadway and his sano 1965 Chevy Impala Station Wagon. Rick’s machine is powered by a 383 Stroker engine. It looks sweet and sounds even sweeter! Congrats, Rick!

Our Cruiser of the Month runner-up was Joel Brand. This was Joel’s first Lake Country Cruisers Car Show, and he scored runner-up with his 1999 Mitsubishi Town Box. We’re all car guys and car gals, and honestly, none of us had ever seen a car like this. We love all machines, thanks, Joel.

We gave away $130 for the 50/50, and our pal Gary Brundell won the runner-up prize of a $50 gift certificate to Dock 633 on Lake June Road in Lake Placid. A BIG THANKS to Dock 633 owners, Bill & Hillary.

That was our last car show for the spring season. We will be back again on October 10, 2026. 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!

Cruisers’ April Car Show Cruiser of the Month!

Published on by corvettesLeave a comment

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.

Greetings Cruisers!
   We had a PERFECT Lake Country Cruisers Car Show yesterday! The weather was perfect, and we had 90 cars! A BIG THANKS to everyone who attended.

And if you missed yesterday’s Car Show, we’ll do it again, Saturday, February 14, 2026. 

Our Cruiser of the Month was Brian and Cindy Yacoboni and their beautiful 1968 Mustang.

Thanks to our great attendance, our 50/50 payout was $200! And our winner was Victor Cabrera. Victor’s son was the youngest attendee at the show, so we put him to work pulling the 50/50 winner.

And wouldn’t you know it, after shaking the tickets thoroughly, the young lad pulled one of his Dad’s 50/50 tickets! It’s a game of chance, and it was the Cabrera Family’s Lucky Day!

Our 50/50 runner-up winner was Sylvia Westover (on right). Sylvia took home a $50 gift card for Dock 633!

So, CONGRATS to our winners! 

And thanks again to everyone who came out for a perfect car show! – Scott, Pete, Ron, & Gary

Avon Park August 2025 Show Slide Show

Published on by corvettesLeave a comment

Greetings Cruisers,
   On August 16, 2025, we had a small car show in the Historical District of Avon Park as part of the Jet Ski Races on Lake Verona. We did our best NOT to talk about the heat, but YES, it was HOT! 

However, with the streets blocked off, food vendors, and Rock’n Roll music, everywhere you looked, there were smiles and smiles. And lots of doggies, too!

Given that the show was 23 miles north of our Lake Country Cruisers car show home at the Lake Placid American Legion, of the 40 cars in attendance, over half were cars and trucks we typically don’t see here in Lake Placid. It was fun seeing new-to-us machines.

And a big THANKS to James “Pappy” Wright for organizing the Car Show!

Here are a few photos…

See you are Legion Post 25! Until then, Y’all stay cool! – Scott, Pete, & Ron
