We are suckers for car shows. Most of us at Ask Patty grew up loving cars and hot rods. Even today we are enthusiasts. To prove our car enthusiasm, we have all owned a vintage or fun sports car at one point or another. Our CEO, Peter Martin, owns an old Porsche. Jody, Ask Patty President, even owns a Harley motorcycle! Breanne, eMarketing Manager and most fabulous employee ever (guess who is writing this post?) owned a 1979 Super Beetle convertible as her first car. Contributing Editor, Brandy, at one time hung on to an old 1980s Rabbit convertible as well! Even our VP of Customer Support, Roger, drives around a Z06 ‘Vette.

As you can see we are fans. None of us had Fords, but that doesn’t mean we don’t love car shows full of them! As covered by AutoMatters.net, Knott’s Berry Farm had a day for all those Ford lovers still driving around. There were patriotic cars there (appropriate because of the Memorial Day timing), as well as past winners.

The cars came out in style, as they have been for the past 22 years for the very same show. This year was the 40th anniversary of the Mercury Cougar and there were plenty of them there to celebrate. According to our friend at AutoMatters.net, “Ford has a rich history. Models included Galaxie, Fairlane, Edsel, Thunderbird, Cougar, Meteor, Lincoln, Falcon, Ranchero, Pinto (and Bobcat), Maverick, Bronco, Comet, F-Series trucks, Cobra, Capri (European and domestic), SVO, SHO, Pantera, Merkur, various race cars (including the GT40), Econoline vans, Probe, Cortina, Focus and, of course, Mustang.”

All we can say is we can’t wait for next year!
