Sunday, Aug. 17: Classy Chassis Car Show

Historic Downtown Sumner

By Ron Swarner on August 11, 2014

You're kind of enjoying sitting there in your dented-up Dodge Neon.  Although you're in the thick of a stagnant mass of Interstate 5 City Exit traffic, the radio's playing that therapeutic anthem for the lovelorn, Lou Rawls' "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine." You're even singing along.

But before Rawls can bellow the last self-absorbed stanza, the station cuts to commercial:

"SUNDAY!  SUNDAY!  SUNDAY!"

Volume and reverb increase.  Shattering glass sounds echo throughout the car.

"IT'S CLASSY CHASSIS CAR SHOW TIME!"

Indeed. Sunday, Aug. 17 head to Sumner for its 15th annual Classy Chassis car, rod and truck show. It's the best place to scope out new and old muscle cars, or show off your own. Expect a "used car lot" this year as well as a "junk yard" sale location where you can find car parts for your classic cars. Maybe if you beg enough the band Wally and the Beaves will perform a Lou Rawls song.

CLASSY CHASSIS CAR SHOW, 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Historic Downtown Sumner, 906 Kincaid Ave, Sumner, sumnerdowntown.com
