A.J. Barnett owned the first Model T in Cuba. What would he have thought of this car?
The Cuba Lion’s Club is ramping up for their 3rd Annual Car Show on Saturday, September 12. Although it says Lion’s Club, if you are from Cuba, you will know that Lion members Bob and Darlene Mullen are the prime movers behind this event, which is held in the historic uptown district, just off Route 66 and along Cuba’s Mural Corridor. The Mullens are the owner’s Bob’s Gasoline Alley, a private collection of nostalgic car-related memorabilia.
The Lion’s Club grill will be fired up for some delicious BBQ, and other vendors will be present .
Judging starts at 12:30 although the car enthusiasts start arriving in the morning to register, arrange their cars, and give them that last shine before judging. Last year’s show displayed some fine looking rides.
Visit the car show, see the murals, and cruise 4 miles west on Rt. 66 to visit the Guinness Largest Rocking Chair. And bring your camera. It’s worth the trip.
For details on the show, call 885-3637 or email mulle628@fidnet.com
This flashy ride sits in front of one of Cuba’ MO’s Civil War murals.
The Missouri Rt. 66 Association manned a booth at the 2008 show.
will the gasoline alley be open to public during the car show and if so what day and times? Thank you in advance
We do not have that information at this time. I suggest that you contact the Cuba Lions Club directly as they are in charge of that event.
What is the typical number of cars at this event?
Please direct your comments to the Cuba Lions Club for that info as they have the registration numbers.
