More than 100 vehicles were displayed during a car show Sunday, jointly sponsored by the Diligence Fire Company of Summit Hill and the Tamaqua Street Machines Association.

This was the first joint venture of the two organizations. It was held at Ginder Field in Summit Hill.Vehicles ranged from a rare 1924 Jewett, a street car that had been sitting dormant for 66 years, to a renovated 1993 Ford Mustang, a shiny, red vehicle which was awarded three trophies.The Mustang, owned by Gary and Charlotte Hanson of Churchville, Maryland, was awarded the Summit Hill Mayor's Trophy by Paul McArdle.McArdle served as proxy for the Tamaqua mayor and gave the Tamaqua Mayor's Trophy to Sonny and Gerrie Petro of Summit Hill, who showed a 1967 Camaro RSSS.As interesting as the cars were, so were stories behind them.The Hansons said they renovated the Mustang after it sat idle for the past 10 years. They completed the project only a week before the show.Charlotte Hanson is the former Charlotte Wombacker, a native of Summit Hill who graduated from the former Summit Hill High School.The couple decided to take the car for a ride and thought the Summit Hill car show would be ideal, even though it was a 115-mile trip one-way.In Summit Hill, Charlotte's sister, Lois Zarra of Philadelphia, met them to see the car. So did friends Donna and Glenn Miller of Summit Hill, both who graduated with Charlotte Hanson.Gary Hanson said he previously had two 1956 Thunderbirds, but the Mustang is the first car he has totally restored himself.The car was previously owned by a daughter who lived in Connecticut. Their son-in-law was active with the U.S. Navy.The daughter and son-in-law had visited Pennsylvania to attend a funeral, and the clutch failed on the Mustang. They managed to drive it back to Connecticut but parked it and never fixed the clutch.By the time the Hansons took it, there was moss growing on the car, the paint was ruined, and other problems from it sitting idle so long were evident.The Hansons' children were going to junk it, but Hanson said he took it to his Maryland home and restored it.The Jewett, shown by Al Grochowski of Northampton, sat dormant for 66 years. It was put away in storage in 1944 and sat there until just four years ago when Grochowski bought it.He is only the third owner of the vehicle, which has just 13,000 miles on it.Grochowski said the car can be started by cranking or via a starter.There's no water in the car for coolant, but Grochowski said he has an alternate way to keep it from overheating.He transports the vehicle on a specially built trailer.Tony Rutch of Lansford had a 1965 Mustang. He bought it about seven years ago. It had been involved in an accident and "was smashed," he said.The vehicle was restored and garnered a second-place trophy at the car show.Dale Nansteel of Lehighton had a 1956 Thunderbird displayed."I always said I would own one of these," he said, "but it took me 50 years to get one."He said the car was at the top of his bucket list.Winners of trophies in the car show were:• Summit Hill Mayor's Trophy - Gary and Charlotte Hanson of Churchville, Maryland, a 1993 Ford Mustang.• Tamaqua Mayor's Trophy - Sonny and Gerrie Petro of Summit Hill, 1967 Camaro RSSS.• Oldest Car, Stock - Al Grochowski, Northampton, 1924 Jewet.• Longest Distance - Gary and Charlotte Hanson, Churchville, Maryland, 1993 Ford Mustang, 117 miles.• Division 1 - 1.
