The only thing hotter than the daily temperatures at the
25th Midwest Chevelle Regional was the cars. This was
undoubtedly one of the warmest Regional shows since it
all began 25 years ago, but a little heat couldn’t stop
veteran Chevelle and El Camino owners from attending
the event in Springfield, Missouri.
The very first Midwest Chevelle Regional was held on the
Howard Johnson lot back in June of 1988 and it was this
same location, now the Ramada Oasis Convention
Center, where car owners celebrated the show 25 years
later. Only seven people attended the 1st and 25th
show. Their picture and names can be found on page 9
of this newsletter.
All five Chevelle clubs that have hosted the show were
represented. Those would be the Queen City Chevelle
Club, Wichita Area Chevelle Owners, Mid-America
Chevelle Club, Oklahoma Chevelle and El Camino Owners
and Gateway Area Chevelles. Without these groups, the
show wouldn’t have survived for 25 years.
To those of you who came despite the hot weather and
other problems, we give a big “THANK YOU!”

These Chevelle owners took advantage of the limited shade
and camped out here most of the day.
Hinshaw’s Chevelle Parts was there with parts from their
business in Elon, North Carolina.
The 25th Annual Midwest Regional Car Show was a
huge success despite the 100 degree temperatures
we endured all weekend long! It is true that some
of our potential car show attendees chose to stay
home in their air conditioned abodes but they didn’t realize it was just a short walk from the show
field to the air conditioned Ramada Oasis convention center where one could rejuvenate, rehydrate
and refresh before returning to the car show.
Those diehards that managed to brave the heat got
to witness and experience a first rate car show
(IMHO).
Thanks to everyone who worked the registration
tables and sold t-shirts, pop, water, and 50/50
tickets (excellent job Buck! We raised $236 for
Crosslines thanks in part to Becky Moore who
donated her 50/50 winnings back to Crosslines).
Thanks to those who judged cars ( a special thanks
to head judge Bill Wiehe), took the car photos, got
show cars parked in the right spot and drove a
group of folks to the Rogersville drag strip. Thanks
to Doug and Angie Wilks for the Papa Murphy’s
Pizza Poker Run and the delicious pizza served at
their Battlefield store location. Thanks to Craig and
Rhonda Garrett who once again faithfully guarded
the entry/exit point to the show field all weekend.
Thanks to Robert Killingsworth for playing hot
tunes during the show and shine, showing videos
during the BBQ and making sure the power point
awards ceremony was a success. Thanks to Jim
Proe for making sure we didn’t forget anything.
Thanks to the Ramada Oasis for providing such a
wonderful venue and making our stay enjoyable.
You get the picture! It takes a lot of dedicated club
members to successfully pull off a show of this
magnitude. You guys and gals are the best!
Thanks once again to our good friend James
Hinshaw who came all the way from North Carolina
to bring us good cheer and lots of Chevelle parts.
Thanks to Sylvia Hinshaw for letting James come!
See you at our next club meeting on July 15th at
2:30 PM at Doug and Angie Wilks’ house.
1st Midwest Chevelle Regional attendees in 1988: Mark
Jantz, Jack Fields, Randy Johnson, Tom Masteller, Robert
Killingsworth, Mike Moore and David Eslick.
