Katy and Patrick Meyer (relocated to Seattle, WA) found a hotbed of classic cars. The owner of this gem was the inventor of the pop-up toaster. I'd call that invention, "The gift that keeps on giving!" |

1948 Packard Woodie |
Wayne Freeman (General Manager of Arizona Total Auto Care) was a key contributor to the D.O.T.F. trophies. Wayne donated the parts to assemble the trophies. In recognition of his contribution, George Meyer (Chief of Trophy Design) made Wayne his own trophy!
The trophies have become a unique "gotta have" for the guys. Bring your best entry: Classic car, motorcycle, or unique motorized vehicle. You may earn your own wall-hanger!

MeyerBoys came across this photo from an old archive. This man could be someone that we know. The photo appears to be from the 70s and likely not taken in the Chicago area.
Sometimes these photos just show up when you least expect them to. What a Dude!

Cruise Night Celebrity
Steve Arp hanging out with Arnie "the Farmer" Beswick. This is the famous drag racer from a small farming town in
Illinois, whose extraordinary success in drag racing has made him a legend in his own time
to four generations of fans. Not only is Arnie the most well known Pontiac drag racer in
the world, but his continuous series of Pontiac super stocks, funny cars and nostalgia door
slammers, has made him an undisputed fan favorite from coast to coast for over forty years. By the mid fifties, he was racing Oldsmobiles and Dodges. Always in search of the
ultimate performance machine, in 1958 he purchased a new Pontiac Chieftain, and a
tradition was started. His continued successes behind the wheel of Pontiacs became
nothing short of legend, and in race after race around the country, he showed competitors
that he was the man to beat.

2002 Camaro
The Meyer Boys have a long running history owning Chevrolets. Bro George was recently at a company gathering in Phoenix and noticed 30 year old Chris Germano wearing a 67 Camaro T shirt. His 4th Generation shirt must have been in the wash, because Chris drives this white hot 2002 running a small block 427. 1,500 hp at the rear wheels with another 500 hp in his pocked when sprayed! Those numbers get him down the 1/8th mile track with a best time of 5.3 seconds at 140 mph! Chris does all the wrenching and driving himself. Nice to know there are such capable young gear heads out there to carry the torch. Nice Job Chris!
Check out the numbers.

Lost.... but not forgotten
Bro George hunted down an old friend and acquired these photos of Bill Callan's 1968 Chevy Camaro. Code 40 butternut yellow, black vinyl top and interior. 327 ci, 210 hp , 2 spd power glide automatic. These photos were probably taken sometime in 1970 0r 1971. The American Racing Wheels, 200S model made the car noticeably different and looking more aggressive than other Camaros around town.

Technology GURU
Greg Scala ...Info Tech Consultant believes in the best best technology money can buy. He weighs in with his 2008 beast of a Beamer. The full-monty M5, V10 pulls 500 hp and rips from zero to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds with the six-speed manual and 8,200 RPMs at redline. Greg says it's perfect for merging onto the New Jersey Turnpike at 115 mph... and that's 3rd gear! This ain't no tree huger's ride!

Sweet Limo
Ken Sansone of Naples, FL acquired his 2004 S500 Mercedes from Meyer Boys just last year. The 5.0 liter V8 pulls 302 HP. Mike likes riding with Ken and talking baseball. Although Ken is a die hard Yankees fan....he still enjoys owning his jet black Benz that was previously owned by Jim Thome...currently # 8 all time home run leaders with 608 dingers just behind Sammy Sosa with 609 and Jim is still playing the game. Or should I say # 7? Take the # 8 spot and remember the cork Sammy.
If ever in Naples, FL call Naples Limousine 239 438 2437. This is the way we roll!

Unbelievable 69 Corvette Roadster
Mike Wright cruises beautiful (at least for 4 months a year) Portland, Oregon in a perfect 69 Corvette Roadster. The 350 CI, 350 HP and 4 speed transmission is all original and numbers matching. Mr.Wright retired CEO of Wellpartner likes to remind Mike Meyer of the weekend at the 87th PGA Championship at Baltusrol (won by Phil Mickelson), when MM provided Mr. and Mrs. Wright a hotel room without air conditioning. No big deal. The temperatures were only 103 degrees. Mike Wright said, "I'm going back to cool Portland and put the top down!"
