By John Gunnell
These days many larger shows—such as the Iola Old Car Show the second weekend in July–are seeing record crowds. But even small-town events like the Manawa, Wis., Every-Friday-in-July marathon is enjoying record turnouts of cars and spectators
Launched around 2017, as part of Manawa’s Downtown Revitalization program, the car shows are held every Friday night in July from 5 pm to 8 pm. That means some years there are four of these shows, and in some there are five. There’s a different theme each Friday. The Friday night gatherings have attracted over 80 cars on some nights.
Sometimes, instead of two rows of cars, the turnout grew to four and a half. The official counters put the total at between 70 and 80. Since almost any type of car or truck can enter for free, a wide variety of vehicles—from a black-and-white 1956 Ford police car to a shiny black semitruck of undermined age—showed up.
Classic models such as Dave Lindsay’s 1937 Packard Model 1508 V-12 limousine have shown up to make certain nights very special. Another hit at the show was the red 1930 Model A Ford “Flying A” gasser that Barry Bartz of Clintonville had brought home, from Ohio, the same day. It had dragstrip stickers on the roll cage dating back to the 6th Annual National Drags in Detroit, Mich., in 1960. It won the “People’s Choice” award.
At times, the number of cars parked on the street near the Manawa post office gets mind boggling. They have included Tri-Five Chevys, Mustangs, Camaros, Chevelles, Cougars, Mopars, Corvettes, and T-Birds. There were stock classics, hot rods, muscle machines, and unrestored “survivor” trucks. A 1972 Duster and a 1976 Road Runner were kind-of-newer Mopars not seen at every show. Mitch Gehrke’s bright yellow 1970 Plymouth Superbird is a local car, but not the kind you see in many small-town events.
Judging from the big turnout, it seemed clear that Manawa’s downtown really has been revitalized—or at least it is once a week during July. While there is no charge to enter or no spectator admission charges, the shows do benefit community groups that supply food on different nights, as well as bring business to local eateries and merchants.
