Final 2018 Cruise In held Cromley’s Ford

NEWBERRY — Midlands South Carolina Muscle and Classic Car Group held their final Cruise In of 2018 at Cromley’s Ford on Saturday.

“It has been a terrific season, we had a great turnout at Cromley’s Saturday. It was nice to see the sun come out after Friday’s cold rain, and enjoy classic cars and trucks, muscle cars, great people and rock and roll,” said President Zeb Reid. “Thank you to Mac Bell (Sonic Restaurant Owner) who gave free food vouchers (hamburgers, corn dogs, shakes, and freeze drinks) to members. Thank you to Karen Quinn (Little Mountain Antique Owner) for donating a beautiful gift basket to our lucky winner today. Thank you Shane Stafford (Audio Advantage) for donating stereo equipment as a prize for a group member. Thank you Sheriff Lee Foster for allowing our car group to use the Sheriff’s Department parking lot as an area to park for overflow parking. Also, thank you to Will Cromley (Cromley’s Ford) for allowing our group to use the dealership as a Cruise In/Car Show location and for giving the Midlands South Carolina Muscle and Classic Car Group members in attendance a free Koozie.”

During Saturday’s Cruise In there were a total of 45 vehicles, with 36 member vehicles signed in. Reid said they had a large number of members and a large number of visitors in attendance.

“It was great to get the media coverage on this event from Carolina Cruise In Magazine and Go Magazine (AAA Magazine). We (Midlands South Carolina Muscle and Classic Car Group) have become one of the largest classic car/truck and muscle car groups in South Carolina. We look forward to the 2019 season and will be releasing our 2019 schedule soon,” he said.

Reid added that they expect more members and bigger Car Shows/Cruise Ins next year. For more information visit them on Facebook (Midlands S.C. Muscle and Classic Car Group) or contact Zeb Reid, Midlands S.C. Muscle and Classic Car Group President at zebulonreid@yahoo.com.
