Highlights from the Town of North Hempstead 6th Annual FunDay Monday Antique Car Show
It is always a fun day when you combine a salute to our Veterans and vintage automobiles. Indeed, it was a wonderful day yesterday in Port Washington with over 1,500 people and 45 automobiles participating at North Hempstead Beach.
Kudos to the Town of North Hempstead and the Vintage Chevrolet Club of America Queens Chapter for a very special event.
Enjoy,
Howard Kroplick

1963 Mustang III Concept Show Car and the 1966 Shelby Mustang GT350-H
I brought my favorite two Mustangs to FunDay.
Nassau Legislator Ellen Birnbaum and me.
Town Photographer John Meehan took the following photos of the 1963 Mustang III Concept Show Car.
According to Ford Motor Company, the 260 cubic-inch engine of the Mustang III "was bored out to 302 cubic-inches and a trio of two-barrel carburetors were installed, making this effectively a prototype for one of the most beloved engine configurations in Mustang history."
