DeLoreans, Mustangs, and more: Wicked Wheels adapting to growing popularity ahead of 5th annual event
Andy Glenn, a Springfield Township trustee for the last two decades, has his mom to thank for his involvement in the Wicked Wheels Car Fest. His mother’s dream car was a bright red 1965 Mustang convertible with a 289 engine, and in 2014, his father bought it for her. Now, as he prepares to bring it to the fifth annual Wicked Wheels show where he also serves as a judge, his enthusiasm is contagious. “I love old cars,” he said. “The old cars have a character to them that you just don’t find in things that are made today. They’re so easy to work on. They’re very simplistic. They don’t have the computers, and their designs are something you haven’t seen in a long time come out by auto manufacturers. They’re metal. They don’t have a lot of plastic parts in them. There’s just a lot that appeals about the older vehicles, especially with Gen Xers.” On Aug. 7, Glenn and hundreds of other proud car owners will gather in Springfield’s Homecoming Park to display models ranging from the latest models in dealerships to perfectly-preserved pieces from the ‘60s to firetrucks and racecars.
