Although I live in Iola where Old Cars weekly is headquartered, my restoration shop business Gunner’s Great Garage is located 15 miles to the east in Manawa, Wis.

The city of Manawa has a downtown revitalization program going and as part of it the city will host car shows in downtown Manawa every Friday evening in July. These events take place on Union Street near the Manawa Post Office and in the Quality Foods supermarket lot.

Each of the Friday night car shows in downtown Manawa will have a separate theme. For example, on July 4 the theme was All American Car Show.

My role in this event is to get collector cars to come and I hope that the readers of this “blog” will all bring out cars. I know that will be impossible for some people on the holiday, but I sure hope a decent number of old cars will show up on Friday evenings. The show will start around 5 pm and go until dark. If you can come, please do.

Anyone who wants more info can call me at 715-281-5925 or email me at Gunnellj@TDS.net.
