Gus is a barber in Old Town. Lance was getting a haircut. And of course, they were talking. Talking about cars.

And that turned into talking about putting on a car show.

What would it take?

Lance runs Old Town Airport. Gus is Gus’s Barber Shop. The first thing they did was recruit Mark from Ogden Mechanical, Michael from 207 S#!t Boxes/Family Ties Racing, and Doc From MVP.

That was last year, and here we go again.

The 2023 Wings & Wheels Car Show & Fly-In is set for this Sunday the 11th. DeWitt Field in Old Town.

Yes, there will be cars. Hundreds and hundreds of cars. Registration is the morning of the event, beginning at 8 a.m., and is $10 per car.

Trophies will be given out beginning at 3 p.m.

Food vendors there through the day, and Live music from Johnny Sansone and Eric Johnson. The concert has an admission fee, and you are encouraged to bring your own chairs.

Those guys thought of everything. That must have been a long hair cut.

All proceeds will go to Maine Veteran’s Project. And Doc is grateful for the financial donations. And to SUDS. Servicemembers Undertakingn Disabled Sports. And to Toys for Tots.

It’s an invitation to get all vets out of the house for some social interaction with others, and the financial donation is important. But the outlet for the vets to meet and get to know other vets may be more important as an event than the $

This will be an incredible event. Thanks to the guys with the vision.

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.
