Details of the IslandWalk Annual Car Show 2025

What do you want from a Car Show? Good Weather? Great Cars? Well Organized? Great People? All those and for me Great Coffee.

This car show had all of those elements.

I got there a bit early and I was ask by the Show organizer, Phil Mannino, if I would take photos of the Cars with their owners near their cars. What a great way to meet some nice people and their cars. I have included some of those pictures here. You can find all my other photos of the show on Page 2.

Unfortunately I did not get an opportunity to meet the owner of the “Shine of the Show” * car, since he or she must have been there enjoying the festivities else where. When I finally got there no one was there. It’s a Yenko Build, 1969 Chevrolet Carmaro 427. Gorgeous orange great shine.

Details of “Curwensville Days Car Show”

My first ever car show.

It’s an off week for me. No car show scheduled. Let me share with you how I got involved in Classic Cars.

Curwensville is located in the Appalachian Mountains in Pennsylvania. (As of 2024 population ~2458) Yes, they have car shows there too.

It was a perfect day in a nice park under the pine trees. Pine trees are not car finishes friends. I was there because we had detailed an awesome Cobra for one of our customers.

A friend and I, looking to pick up a few extra dollars to pay for some necessities, golf, whiskey, and so on, started car detailing in another friend’s empty garage bay on Saturdays. It’s good exercise and nice extra money. Soon we were busy every Saturday.

Both of us loved the feeling one gets when you get to stand back and look at the end product. We did some great work.

On one Saturday one of the regulars brought his wife’s car and asked us to detail it to showroom condition. It was an anniversary gift. We did and he was so impressed he asked us to do the same thing to his show car. Not a classic car officiant at that time and not much of one now, I believe he brought us a 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 pink.

Pretty soon we had others bringing their show cars to us for the “treatment”. Then something life changing happened.

One of the customers expressed his desire to sell the love of his life, a 1957 Ford Fairland 500. I just happened to have a website that I was using to share photos. We made a deal, if the car sold from my lead he would pay $100.00. I detailed the car and posted my first car for sale.

This was way before any of the heavies had websites. Hemmings, Barrett Jackson, and Mecum. In fact at this time you would be hard pressed to find Classic Cars sold via the internet.

But I wasn’t the only one. As time went by I got really interested in the high end cars. I came across a Ferrari Dealer in California who had 2 Italia 458’s for sale. Those two cars got the interest of the owner of WeBE Autos out of Long Island, Michael Runnalls. Michael had been involved in internet sales for longer than I and was and is really good at it by the time our paths crossed. He helped me and we started sharing cars. Eventually began represent WeBe Autos in SW Florida.

A couple cars and one truck there that we had detailed. Unfortunately I can’t remember much about that day except the weather was perfect and I loved the cars. I didn’t take many notes. I got little to none of the details that day.

I took these photos using my phone. Let me share some of my first car show photos:

A good friend’s Honda Goldwing Trike.

I started off loving to detail a car and stand back and look at the product. I still love a beautifully detailed car.

I have started back up this blog so I can be engaged in the Classic Car Business. This blog will be used as an affiliate marketing in the near future. Any product I recommend I have either used or got a review from someone I trust.

A bit of a survey :

Do you use Ceramic or Wax for your shine?
