Going to Art on the Lake on Saturday? If you drive your collector car, any vintage, between 9-noon, you can park free at 440 Water St (former Mason Motors) at the Tonka Cruzers Car Excelsior Cruze In car show happening that day! Short walk to the Art on the Lake at the Commons!

Tonka Cruzers Car Club Excelsior Cruze In 05/25/2013

Thanks for coming to the first Tonka Cruzers Car Club Excelsior Cruze In Show of the year, held May 25, 2013!  Below are some of the new cars that we haven't seen before. Great turnout for such a cool, wet day!

Thanks to the new rides that came Saturday plus the folks that are regulars - all very appreciated!

Next Show Saturday June 8th which is the same day as Art on the Lake, so come to the Car Show with your Collector Car and walk down to the Commons to check out the Art Show while I and others watch over your Car.

Thanks to Caribou at Shorewood [5663 Manitou Rd] for the coffee - next to Joey Novas and Cub at 7 @ 101 for the Rolls, be sure to patronize these businesses soon.

The great looking Cadillac showed up after the show was over but wow what a car!

See you next time.

Little Dearborn Parts

Took a trip today to Little Dearborn Parts - Antique Ford Parts. Was greeted and helped by Roger, the owner. Checked out his awesome collection of Car memorabilia, vintage signs, great Neon Car advertising signs, and glass cases featuring vintage Ford parts and manuals. It's located at 2424 University Ave SE, Minneapolis by the U of M.   http://www.littledearborn.com/

Roger had the parts ready that Rick had called and ordered for Mildred (Rick's '49 Ford).

Welcome to the Tonka Cruzers Car Club new Blog Site.

Please visit often for updates for Car Shows, Assisted Living/Elder Care Cruze-Ins, Charity Events, Group Functions, Events and an occasional car for sale and much more.

I am very excited about this Blog because up to now I have been promoting my show in Excelsior by word of mouth and handing out fliers. This Blog provides a new way to get the word out on my show Saturday mornings in Excelsior.

Comments/suggestions/questions are welcome so feel free to do so.

I am hoping for a weather turn around here to make this an enjoyable "Car Season" to make up for lost time!

Enjoy the Blog and hope to see you at one or all of my shows or other events, would love to talk to you.

NOTE : The residents really enjoy stepping back in time and reliving some memories of great cars in their past so please consider participating in one or all of these opportunities to brighten the Residents day by sharing your “Rides” with them.

Only a few hours out of your day but brings back a lifetime of memories for these folks and you will probably hear some great stories from the Residents.

Please RSVP me at Tonkacruzerscarclub@yahoo.com for a Car/Head count so they can plan for lunch/dinner.
