POLSON – Classic car lovers gathered in downtown Polson on Saturday and took a stroll down memory lane during the Cruisin’ by the Bay car show.
The Mission Valley Cruisers host the annual one-day event. Organizers said turnout this year was strong with more than 100 car owners registering their vehicles, which surpassed last year’s total entries.
The show featured a wide variety of makes, models, years and styles but was mainly dominated by classic American muscle cars like the Chevy Camaro, Chevelle and Ford Mustang.
Special custom-made trophies, assembled out of discarded engine and car body parts, were awarded to the top ten and best of show winners. Bill Baroch, of Polson, won the Best of Show trophy for his custom built 1962 Chevy Impala.
Top ten trophies went to Dennis Black for his 1947 GMC; Cole Younger and his 1952 GMC 3100;
Craig Eaton’s 1956 Chevy 210 Wagon; Greg Greene and the 1939 Chevy Truck Copper Rat; Paul Kruger with a 1934 Dodge Pickup; Candy Johnson and her 1928 Dodge 5-Window Coupe; William Oden’s 1975 Ford F-250; Robin Ellenwood’s 1932 Plymouth PB Coupe; Ron McDowell’s, 1960 Chevy Corvette, and Nancy Mcdowell had the 1947 Studebaker M5.
