Attention All Car Buffs!

Get into gear and head on down to the County Administration Center’s first employee car show. Different makes and models will be on display all day Friday, April 27 on the south lawn. CAC employees can register a Hot Rod, truck, motorcycle or any other special vehicle of interest, especially vintage cars, in CAC Room 411 or email Bruce.Pennings@sdsheriff.org before 4 p.m., Wednesday, April 25.  

A certain Board supervisor plans to bring out his prized 1933 Packard Club Sedan. You can also expect to see a 1929 Ford with a Chevy 350 engine, 1953 MG, a 1966 Corvette 427 coupe, a 1969 Mustang Mach 1 with a drag pack on it, some Harleys and more.

How did this all come about? Well, some car buffs carry pictures of their treasured, classic, or just face it, cool cars in their wallets and can’t help but brag about them. They swap stories and next thing you know retired Sheriff’s Deputy Bruce Pennings was wondering. “How many employees have them?” says Pennings. “Only way to find out is put on a car show.”

For CAC employees interested in bringing out their cars, Pennings says don’t worry about dings, scratches or security. He’ll be keeping an eye on them and other security will be out there too.  

 While this is a car show, it isn’t a competition so don’t expect a trophy. As Pennings says, it’s just a day employees can drive their prides and joy to work and safely show them off. Interested? Sign up or come on out. Guess who owns which vehicle, daydream about owning this one or that one and swap stories. You’ll be in good car company.
