09-13-2014 - One of two Maple Motors Trophy Winners this evening went to Terry (Tiger) Jones and his 2013 Roush Stage 3 Mustang. Terry says Ford calls the color of his Pony, Race Red with perfectly placed White Striped Graphics and Highlights. Terry brings his Supercharged Mustang to the Cruise-In every week that him and his wife Pam come out to visit with us (oh, did I mention Pam drives a Corvette, I bet plenty of bench racing goes on in there house). Anyway this is a modern Hot Rod and has gained much respect among the automakers and brands. Here's a little about Terry's fine Roush Stage 3.

The Stage 3 Mustang is the pinnacle of the ROUSH "Stage" Mustangs. It builds off the styling from the Stage 1, the handling from the Stage 2, and adds its own piece of the pie, a supercharged 5.0L-4v power train. Yes it is a modern day Muscle Car! The Stage 3 is the supercharged 5.0L power-train version pumping out a massive 565 horsepower and 505 lb-ft of torque, more than enough power to plunge you into the back of your seat at the stab of the throttle. With the PCM calibrated by ROUSH engineers to the perfect combination of horsepower, drivability and durability. Standard chassis components include a complete suspension system and an 18-inch by 10-inch forged aluminum, five spoke, chrome ROUSH wheel wrapped in the ROUSH/Cooper ultra high-performance tires.

10-18-2014 - This week we liked to honor one our youngest cruisers. His name is Richard Rieger and most of you have probable spent a little time talking to this young man at this and other Cruise-In's around the area. His car is a very nice 1968 Mustang Fastback. Sorry my camera flash could not pick up the black exterior finish very well but it is a nice 68 driver and that leads me to a point I wish to make and that is Richard has inherited the car kind of, it has been in his family for a long time and Richard desire is to use his youth the help keep the classic car hobby alive for not only himself but for his generation. He is a good man and he will represent the hobby well with a great attitude and having a good car like this Mustang will always make him popular at the car shows. Thanks for being at the the Goodlettsville Cruise In most every week Richard!

It's a Hot Rod we are proud to make our Maple Motors,Show and Shine Winner! Mark is a Greenbrier resident so you'll see this fine ride a lot at the Cruise In. Thanks Mark we are glad you choose to spend your Saturday evening at your Goodlettsville Cruise In.

07-26-2014 - We presented the Maple Motors, Show & Shine Award to Brian & Emily Hatton of White House, TN. They drove a beautiful 1964 Rambler Classic 770 2 Door, Hard Top to the Goodlettsville Cruise In and after talking to them I found out it was there first visit so I spent some time getting acquainted with this fine couple and I think we have made another set of friends and will hopefully come back many times to visit the Cruise-In. Here's a little about this fine American made 2nd Generation (63 & 64) AMC Rambler they own. It's an off white exterior color; Brian added a subtle outlined stripe down the middle, front to back. It gave the car a nice appearance upgrade. The interior is a medium to dark turquoise color and in perfect condition. Factory air conditioning, power accessories, V-8 engine (287 cubic inch, 4.7 L) with a 3 speed automatic transmission. According to Hemmings the curb weight on the Rambler is approximately 2,650 lbs, now that’s a light vehicle. It's a perfect car to award the Show & Shine Award and I was glad to meet the Hatton's and give them this weeks Maple Motors Trophy. I might have for got to mention this but this AMC has only 17,000 original mile on it, yeah it's that nice so stop by and check it out.

08-16-2014 - Mason Barnes of Franklin, KY and his1937 Flamed Ford Coupe. One of the nicest 37's around all of these southeastern Untied States. Mason went thru the car a few years back and had the look in his head knowing what he wanted to accomplish. First the original body was smoothed and a black satin finished was applied then he went to a friend for pin stripping and those very good looking candy flames. Mason finished the car with power accessories and air conditioning we all want in our cars. Mason lets no grass grow around this beauty because all summer long he's crossing counties and states going to the next event. Mason we liked that 37 flamed coupe, thanks!

09-20-2014 - Mark Penniman and his 1924 Ford Model T Touring Car. This Model T is as near a perfect restoration as any Model T I've ever seen. Mark took on this project a few years back and his attention to originality and detail is second to none. Many were around his Model T most of the night and this 1924 T was the favorite to give this weeks award to. Mark plans on visiting as many events as he can knowing the season is winding it's way into the 2014 record books and the cooler weather is giving us a fare-weather warning that Halloween is around the corner. If you get a chance to see Mark's Model T at a show take time to experience what people drove at the turn of the 20th Century and how proud they were to see one of these, much less owned one in those glory full days of the "Roaring 20's." Thanks and congratulations Mark!
