Cruising the bricks 2024
Cars, trucks, and motorcycles of every shape and size rolled into downtown McCook for the 2024 edition of Cruisin’ the Bricks.
Those showing had cars ranging from Model T’s, the first mass-produced car, to brand new corvettes and hellcats.
Each owner had their own personal story with their entry, like Randy Korgan who got his entry in high school.
“I brought my 1968 Pontiac GTO, I’m the second owner. I bought it in ’74 when I was in high school, so that dates me a little bit. But I kept it all the way through college then retired it and put it in storage and then probably about 10 years ago I brought it out and restored it to the original status,” Korgan said.
Each car and owner has its own journey to get to car show status, like with Rod Pluff’s 1955 Chevy Nomad
“This was one that was a project car, I bought the car and took it to West Virginia to an outfit called NomadsRus and they put a different frame under it and put an LS in it, so it’s a RestoMod, and it’s pretty sharp looking,” Pluff said.
The Crazy dayz car show and cruise night was the debut for the ’55 Nomad as Pluff just got the car back earlier this year.
Many of the modified builds were nearly completely had build by the owners, with some personal twists.
“I’ve got a 1940 Ford Coupe. I had some help, I did a lot of the grunt work but what you see I had a professional do it. It has a 1970 Corvette motor, it’s a 427, I know its probably not good to put a Chevy motor in a Ford product, but I did. I get cussed out every now and then,” Sid Stewart said.
The car show also featured giveaways and a frozen T shirt contest where the participants tried to put on a fully frozen and waded-up T shirt on the fastest.
