Dan ponders some<br />
new mayoral wheels<br />
By SHELLEY TOPP<br />
Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon had his<br />
eye on aclassy lineup of Mustangs in<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> last Sunday.<br />
The mayor, who is aselfconfessed<br />
petrolhead from way back, attends the<br />
American Classic Car Club’s annual<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> USA Day every year, but was<br />
an invited guest at this year’s event, held<br />
last Sunday at Woodend’s Gladstone<br />
Park.<br />
‘‘I’ve been abig car fan ever since I<br />
was asmall boy,’’ he said. ‘‘I love the<br />
Mustangs.’’<br />
He joked that aMustang would make a<br />
fine mayoral car, before quickly adding<br />
that no money was budgeted for one, so<br />
it would have to be apersonal purchase.<br />
Dan also admired asixseater, eightcylinder<br />
convertible 1934 Buick 68C<br />
owned by Owen Frew, of Fernside.<br />
The gleaming, immaculately<br />
presented Buick won the Best in Show<br />
award at the event.<br />
Dan thought it would also make a<br />
LOST AND FOUND<br />
The following property has been<br />
reported as lost to the <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong>police. Have you seen it?<br />
classy mayoral car.<br />
The Buick is one of only five still<br />
registered worldwide.<br />
The annual show was held in hot,<br />
sunny weather with alarge crowd,<br />
thought to be arecord, turning out for<br />
the event.<br />
The day focuses on Americanmade<br />
vehicles, cars, pickup trucks and<br />
motorbikes.<br />
The familyoriented day drew about<br />
650 vehicles, ranging from the 1920s to<br />
presentday models.<br />
There was also live music by Sign of<br />
the Firebird.<br />
It was the club’s 28th anniversary and,<br />
to celebrate, members decided to raise<br />
money on the day for the Ronald<br />
McDonald House charity.<br />
Club treasurer Jimmi Anderson said<br />
on Monday it was too early to confirm the<br />
exact amount the club would raise, but<br />
the gate tally had been bigger than usual<br />
and they were hoping to be able to<br />
donate $4000 or more.<br />
