Wichita Falls World of Wheels - Feb 1-3
Monday, January 26, 2009
The World of Wheels is fast approaching again. It's hard to believe that this fantasic car show has been coming to Wichita Falls for 29 years! This year some of the finest cars in the nation will be at our show as well as some of the greatest local vehicles of which some of them have never before been seen! If you have ever watched any of the car enthusiast shows such as Car Crazy, then you probably didn't miss the segment from the Detroit Autorama. The Gold 1932 Ford Roadster shown on Car Crazy as a Riddler Award Great Eight Runner up, owned by Sam and Patty Magarino, from Sparta, New Jersey, will be one of our front row vehicles this year. Joe Mouton from New Orleans, Louisiana will be bringing his latest creation, built after Hurricane Katrina. It is a black 1955 Chevy with a motor that you would not believe! This is Joe's third vehicle that he has toured with for ISCA, (International Show Car Association.) Some of you might remember "Dragonheart", the red 1957 Chevy that was here a few years ago. Joe's newest creation won him the prestigious Millwinder's Award at the Houston Autorama on Thanksgiving weekend. ENTERTAINMENT SCHEDULE Sunday from Noon - 5 - Jason Earles who plays Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana's (Miley Cyrus) older brother, Jackson Stewart, in the Disney Channel Original Series Hannah Montana will appear.
