Marion Main Street hosts first of two car shows

This red Chevrolet was among the restored classic cars and trucks featured in Marion Main Street's first of two car shows scheduled for this summer. The first was held this past Saturday in downtown Marion.At right, a yellow moon car accessory emblem window sticker was a good color match for Rick Hasier's canary yellow 1941 Studebaker. The Marion man first drove to Kentucky to look at the car but didn't buy it. His wife then explained how it ended up in their driveway "He found it in Kentucky two years ago, so we drove down there, but he passed on it and we came back home to Marion. Then he dreamed about it - so naturally, he went back down there and bought it." Ceasar Maragni photos

Reynolds said that the car is powered by a beefed up 350-cubic-inch, 375-horsepower Chevy engine. He said, "I bought the car two years ago in Arizona." Ceasar Maragni photo
