Page 14 THE VILLADOM TIMES I, II, III & IV • May 23, 2012 On Sunday, May 27, the Jersey Lakeland Region of the Vintage Chevrolet Club of America and its sponsor, Paramus Auto Mall/Cadillac of Mahwah, will present the 37th Annual “Motorama” – formerly known as the Franklin Lakes Car Show & Flea Market. This year, the club opted to take on a retro name for this popular annual event, and Motorama harkens back to the old General Motors car shows that were presented in the manner of the New York Auto Show. Motorama will be held rain or shine from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at McBride Field, 813 Franklin Lake Road in Franklin Lakes, across from Urban Farms Shopping Center (home of the Market Basket). The show is open to all cars and trucks from the earliest models through 1987. This year, Model T Fords and T-birds will be the featured cars. These vehicles will have their own class and special awards will be presented to the owners of the first 25 Model T Fords and T-birds that are registered. This year’s entry fee will be $5 per person. A portion of the proceeds from the show will benefit the Franklin Lakes Nature Preserve, a recreation area that opened to the general public in June of 2011. The property, formerly known as the Haledon Reservoir, includes the lake and newly-designated hiking trails. For every $1 donated to the preserve, Bergen County will dedicate $2. Proceeds from Motorama will also benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of New ‘Motorama’ & Flea Market scheduled for May 27 Jersey, a non-profit agency that grants the fondest wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses, and scholarship awards for vocational school students who demonstrate outstanding performance in an automotive field. The show is the club’s major fundraiser. The event will include food and beverages, door prizes, a cash prize, and music. Each year, over 250 show cars, 1,500 spectators, and 40 vendors attend the show and flea market. The flea market features automotive products and a wide variety of crafts. There are items of interest for all, so be sure to check out the vendors’ tables. Once again, Robert Luczun will display his eye-catching 1928 Model AR Roadster “Car-Toon” Truck. This vehicle is the most photographed car each year. Bring the family to see the result of this 2,000-hour airbrush project. The front fenders are covered with black-and-white characters such as Felix the Cat, the Three Stooges, and Howdy Doody. Hanna-Barbera’s Flintstone family shares the left-side engine cover with Bullwinkle’s crew, Archie Andrews and friends, and the lovable animals from Pooh’s Corner. The passenger side of the Model A features a veritable army of Disney characters, including 101 Dalmatians! Mischievous figures from the pages of Mad magazine appear unexpectedly, and cultural icons such as Albert Einstein, Lucille Ball, Marilyn Monroe, and Marlon Brando A scene from last year’s car show and flea market. are scattered throughout the expansive work. Superheroes are evenly represented, whether you are a D.C. nerd (Superman, Green Lantern, Flash) or a Marvel geek (Iron Man, Wolverine, Hulk).
