Car D’Lane Rolls Into Town This P.M.

Item: Classic cars rolling in for Car D’Lane: Downtown cruise takes place Friday night /Alison Boggs, SR

More Info: Four years ago on a day trip to Metaline Falls, Bob Evans of Post Falls saw an ad for a 1951 Chevy in the small town’s newspaper. The classic car buff called and discovered the Chevy in pieces. But he saw its potential, so he forked over $4,000 then drove back and forth three times to haul the two-door hardtop home in his trailer. Now the Chevy is pristine and joins hundreds of other classic cars Saturday for Coeur d’Alene’s 19th annual Car d’Lane show. Classic car fanatics have come from as far as Colorado, California and Canada to show off their pre-1972 beauties on the streets of downtown.

Question: Did you cruise the main street of your town in hot rods and muscle cars as a teen-ager? Tell us about it.
