11 April 2007 Update From Dean :            Here is the most recent picture I have of Lurch.            The guy sitting next to me is George Childs. He originally sold Lurch's chassis and engine to me.            He has a few old Chevys, including a 1925 Chevy truck named "Leaping Lena" that his Grandfather bought new.   Lurch's Social Calendar for 2007            Here is a list of Lurch's appearances for 2007. He'd LOVE to see you at one or more of these events!

• Sunday, April 29th - The Pacific Coast Dream Machine meet at the Half Moon Bay Airport
• Saturday, May 5th - The All American Truck Show at Kennedy Park in Union City
• Sunday, May 20th - Friendship Day at Canada College parking lot, Redwood City, CA East off 280 at the Farm Hill Boulevard exit. This is a 'bring whatever you got and let's enjoy each other's toys' kind of show. Always interesting!!
• Tuesday, July 3rd - Roseville Downtown Tuesday Nights
• Saturday, September 22nd - The Ironstone Vineyard Concours D' Elegance in Murphys - This is a fantastic show and worth the drive to Murphys! The Rusty and Infamous (Lurch) gets to hobnob the the Rich and Famous (Rolls, Bentleys, Auburns, Cobras, etc.) at this show!
• Sunday, October 14th - Jimmy's 19th Annual Old Car Picnic in Golden Gate Park (Speedway Meadow) in San Francisco - This is the first time that Lurch is visiting this show, but Jimmy saw Lurch at the Pacific Coast Dream Machines in Aprile and became a fan immediately!

           He might appear at other venues, but none are in plan as of now.

13 May 2005 Update

           For the "rest of the story" on Lurch, you need to read HIS version of all this stuff in our Saga Section / "Old and Ugly IS Beautiful ... or ... You Can't Keep a Good Truck Down" ~~ Editor

From Dean:

           It's time for Lurch to wake up from his winter hibernation and get out and about! Below is his social schedule for 2005. If you get a chance, come out and say howdy!

• All American Truck Show (Kennedy Park in Union City) - all American trucks welcome (May 7, 2005)
• Friendship Day (Canada College in Redwood City) - bring whatever you've got and let's enjoy each others' toys! I'll be leading a tour to the show from Marina Square in San Leandro, leaving at 7:30am. (May 15, 2005)
• Palo Alto Concours d'Elegance (on Stanford campus) - look for Lurch with the tractors! (June 26, 2005)
• Horses to Horsepower (at Sequoia High School in Redwood City on October 2, 2005)

10 June 2002 Update

Hi,

           I thought it was time for an update from Lurch. He's found a few friends that he 'tours' with.

           Here's a picture that was taken last weekend at a show called Friendship Day. It's a 'bring-whatever-you've-got-and-let's-enjoy-each-other's-toys' kind of show.

           Lots of fun!

Cheers,
Dean

           Dean's got a 1958 Chevy 1/2-ton Panel truck he uses to tow his trailer, which carries junk (er, parts and projects) home and also takes Lurch to shows. ~~ Editor

20 September 2001 Update

From Dean:

           I'd like to replace the current picture of Lurch, my 1927 Chevy Cattle truck. The pic you have is old and isn't quite accurate anymore. (Lurch doesn't have the Austin America seats anymore). Here is a more recent picture taken at the ATHS (American Truck Historical Society) Kirkland Truck show last year.

           This is a GREAT show, if you ever get a chance to be in Northern California the last weekend in April.

Thanks!
