Classic cars roll through Sisters
By Jim Cornelius

A '39 Olds and a '37 Chevrolet were among dozens of street rods that visited Sisters last week.

Bob McCarty and Don Perkins backed their 1930s-vintage cars into a couple of nice shady spots on Larch Street on Friday, July 19, broke out a couple of camp chairs and sat on the sidewalk to have lunch while their wives shopped in Sisters.

The pair were among a contingent of classic car enthusiasts who were on the week long Cruise Oregon 2002 trek around the state.

Some 172 cars started out from Sandy on Saturday, July 13, cruised to Lincoln City; Coos Bay; dipped down to Crescent City, California; went to Grants Pass, Klamath Falls and Bend before heading to Prineville Friday night.

All along the route the cruisers took in the sights -- and drew admiring glances at their beautiful cars.

Perkins was driving a 1939 Oldsmobile with red and cream paint. McCarty drove a bright red 1937 Chevrolet Business Coupe.
