Old Cars-Young Drivers Welcomed to IOLA '10
In an effort to recognize younger drivers who are active in the collector vehicle hobby, the Iola Old Car Show has set aside a special area for them to show off their rides, whether they’re primered or painted, rodded or restored. This special section of the show is for hobbyists who are 25 years of age or younger that drive a collector car that is 25 years old or older. Cars and trucks need not be show-quality, but must be presentable and driven onto the grounds under their own power. Stock and modified vehicles are welcome in the area. Hobbyists who wish to participate in this “Old Cars, Young Drivers” section of the show will not be charged admission when driving their car into this display. As an incentive, participants will be placed in a drawing for a number of gift certificates to JC Whitney Co. In order to participate, send a photo and identification of your car, along with your name, address, birthdate, e-mail and phone number, to the Iola Old Car Show, PO Box 1, Iola, WI 54945 or email mitch@iolaoldcarshow.com.

Futurliner #10 Returning to Iola...
The GM Futurliners (12 built) were a group of stylized buses designed in the 1940s by Harley Earl for General Motors. They were used in GM's Parade of Progress, which traveled the United States exhibiting new cars and technology. The Futurliners were used from 1940 to 1941 and again from 1953 to 1956. Futurliner #10 attended the Iola show in 2006. Restoration began in 1999 by a dedicated crew of volunteers. For more information check out www.futurliner.org
