Ardell Brown BBQ

Members of BMCU, the WMJR Jaguar club, and the Healey club were treated to a tour of Ardell Brown's classic car collection at his estate in Sandy on July 26. The collection is truly amazing -- over a hundred classic cars, including marques such as Auburn, Cord, LaSalle, Cadillac, Bricklin, Studebaker, Chevy, Triumph, and many others. Even fire trucks and tractors are represented, all neatly displayed in spacious metal buildings with easy spectator access.

After touring the collection Ardell set up barbeque grills in his cool grove, and everyone enjoyed dining al fresco. Actually, Al couldn't make it, but many familiar BMCU faces did, including Susan and Jon Hermance, Dixie and Bob Jahnke, Pugs and Diane Pivirotto, J. Jennings, George Schmidt, Susan and Mike Cady, John and Liz Green, Ron Gunderson, Mitch and Diane Johnson, Dave and Sandy Maxwell, and no doubt several others we missed.

Ardell urges all classic car owners to participate in the Senior Citizens Concours at South Towne Expo Center on August 26-29. This year’s emphasis is on car clubs, and BMCU is guaranteed a group spot under our glorious new club banner. Mark thedate on your calendar, and plan on it!
