Emerald Coast Cruizin; Panama City Beach, Florida

by Linda Barfield
We attended Emerald Coast Cruizin in Panama City Beach with our friends, AJ & Yolande from Louisiana. Weather was good. Rain was predicted but no rain, just a mix of clouds and sunshine. There were probably the most cars ever at this event. There were hardly any empty spots in the outside field and all the VIP parking was packed. We met Rick Sasser and his friend, Vonnie, from Thomaston, GA. They have a collection of cars but only brought two on this trip. The one that really caught Ken’s eye was the Alice Cooper (Welcome to my Nightmare) car, a 1936 Auburn. Rick had only owned it about a year and this was the first car show he had brought it to. It was truly an eye catcher!

Sunday morning we found out the American Legion had a classic car show, a Benefit for Building Homes for Heroes in Destin that afternoon. We called Rick and Vonnie and we both left with trophies.
