If you like old cars and it's a pretty fall day a free car show sounds like a great idea. The show was held at the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind. The school is St. Johns County's sixth largest employer (650 jobs) and was estabolished in 1885. The campus is located North City and runs from A1A to the bayfront. It is the only school of it's kind in Florida for eligible students in Pre K-12. The late singer Ray Charles is reported to have attended FSDB. Barbara and I saw a number of cars and trucks we had some association with in our formative years. I had a Corvair, a 57 Ford convertible, and a 70 Chevelle that were represented. A fraternity brother in college went to England and brought back a Sunbeam Tiger over summer break. A Ford V8 crambed into a small british sports car designed for a small 4. That car would fly. Barbara saw a Mustang and a Studabaker Hawk that brought back memories. A learning experience was the red beach racer built in Jacksonville in the early 1900's. Great cars, excellent food concessions, and a senic location were backdrops for a great day.
