(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) –<\/strong><\/em>The ALS Cruising for a Cure is held in Lawrenceburg, Indiana and this series will cover the 3rd<\/sup>annual event held May 5th<\/sup>.\u00a0 This charity event is the brainchild of Logan Lawrence to honor the memory of his grandfather he lost to ALS.\u00a0 It takes an awful lot of cooperation from the local community and volunteers to make this event as good as it is.\u00a0 This year 448 cars, trucks, and motorcycles registered and parked in the historic downtown district along the banks of the Ohio River.\u00a0 Kayle Knight traveled the furthest coming all the way from Simsbury, CT.\u00a0After the awards were presented, the streets were emptied, and cleanup was completed they tallied up what would be presented to the Indiana chapter of the ALS Association.\u00a0 Just a little over $24,000.00 was raised.\u00a0 That\u2019s impressive by anyone\u2019s standards and it seems all the more impressive to me that it was organized by a college freshman and staffed by a horde of volunteers (which included a bunch of high school kids that gave up a beautiful Saturday to help out).<\/p>\n

This first collection of photos is a bit Mopar-heavy and nearly Chevy-free.\u00a0 I really can\u2019t explain my selections for this gallery.\u00a0 It just is.<\/p>\n

The Mini looks like a blast to drive with a late-model V6 pushing the British compact along with horsepower many times that of the original.\u00a0 There\u2019s three examples of the Oldsmobile Cutlass in here too.\u00a0 One Hurst, one S-model, and a Pro Streeter.<\/p>\n

Plenty of fine Mopars in here, but my pick would be the orange Super Bee with the period stance and slots.\u00a0The light blue Valiant would be my second choice, but all of them were very nice.\u00a0 Hey we even snuck a Jeep, an AMC, VW, and a Buick in here.\u00a0 Throw in the bikes and dirt cars and there is quite of bit of variety to be found.\u00a0 I\u2019m trying to keep things interesting.<\/p>\n

Enjoy.<\/p>\n
