One-hundred and five vehicles from the 1960s and 1970s and factory performance vehicles from 1979 on, painted a wide array of colors, made for an impressive lineup down Broadway during the 2015 Seaside Muscle & Chrome car show during Father’s Day weekend.

From a bright red 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu to a blue 1966 Ford Mustang with spotless white racing stripes, the show featured a little something for almost anyone with a taste for muscle cars.

The 12th annual car show, put on by the Seaside Downtown Development Association and sponsored by NAPA Auto Parts, started June 19 with registration and a cruise down U.S. Highway 101, starting from Thousand Trails RV Campground.

The following day, June 20, car owners lined up their vehicles for a Show and Shine on Broadway, which was blocked off from traffic, allowing pedestrians to meander the street, checking out the vehicles and talking to owners. One of the “strongest” vehicles in the bunch was a tank displayed by the United States Army National Guard.

“All of this truly fulfills the mission of bringing people to the downtown area,” said Tita Montero, executive director of SDDA.

The show’s signature car was a 1967 Cougar XR7, owned by Rod Fobert, who teaches high school English in Troutdale. His Cougar, the event’s poster car, was used to advertise for the annual car show and depicted on shirts sold by SDDA. Fobert has been attending Muscle and Chrome in Seaside since 2006. He’s owned his Cougar since his senior year of high school in 1982; the car’s original owner was his high school English teacher. He attended the show with his Cougar and other members from their mutual car club, “The Unlimiteds.”

The public portion of the event concluded with a short Downtown Cruise along Broadway, the Turnaround, North Columbia Street, First Avenue and Holladay Drive. The sound of revving engines from the classic muscle cars could be heard by spectators parked along the sidewalk to watch the colorful parade of vehicles go by in flashes of green, red, yellow, orange, black, blue, purple and even pink.

While 28 awards were given out among the entries, Montero said, they were not highly competitive, but rather sponsored awards and those with “titles that reflect the flavor of Seaside,” such as the Purely Beachin’ award, and other fun categories, such as Hottest Flames and Class Act.

Winners are picked by an independent group of people who are kept anonymous, because “it keeps the politics out of a family friendly event,” SDDA Special Events Coordinator Laurie Mespelt said.

The awards were distributed during a closing dinner ceremony at the Best Western Ocean View Resort, for car owners and their families, after the Downtown Cruise. During the dinner, Del Sol sponsored a 50/50 drawing to benefit the South County Community Food Bank. The pot was $240, and the winner of half, a man from Hillsboro, donated his winnings to the food bank as well.

In addition, car show entrants had the opportunity to win prizes and $300 in cash in the Downtown Treasure Hunt. Thirty merchants participated in the Treasure Hunt. Each business was given a number, and car owners were also given a number. Their task was to find the merchant with the matching number for a prize. Mike Sasso, of Astoria, won the $300 grand prize.

This year’s Muscle and Chrome featured more cars than last year but less than some years past. Additionally, there was no Vendor Alley at this year’s event. In general, Muscle & Chrome is smaller in comparison to SDDA’s fall Wheels & Waves car show, which features all vehicles from 1965 on and is a four-day event.

The show does not bring in revenue for SDDA — the organization is happy to break even on the event, Montero said — but it does help the association achieve its goal of “enhancing the environmental and economic viability of downtown Seaside for the local community and visitors,” she added. Without numerous sponsors, the event would not be possible.

The event also relies on participation from volunteers, particularly the Rod Squad, a group of about 15 people from the Portland and Vancouver, Wash., area whose love for classic cars has compelled them to help SDDA put on Muscle and Chrome for a few years, Mespelt said.

The 2015 Wheels and Waves show is scheduled for Sept. 10 through 13. For more information, visit www.seasidedowntown.com or call (503) 717-1914.
