CONCORD, CA (August 28, 2006) – Where else can you sit in a Winston Cup race car, see a dragster, antique cars, hot rods, motorcycles, let the kids play, and get a free dinner?
\n
\nSome 600 individuals experienced all of that \u2013 and more \u2013 as part of this year\u2019s Lee Harvell Classic Car Show at Crossroads Covenant Church, with more than 90 special vehicles on display.<\/p>\n

\"HarvellThe show is named in honor of Lee Harvell, who died earlier this summer after battling cancer. It was during his lengthy struggle with the disease that Harvell accepted Jesus Christ as his personal savior, prompting the church to rename the annual event.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis show is unique,\u201d says Pastor Aaron Gonzenbach. He expressed appreciation to the individuals and businesses that contributed money to fund the free barbecue as well as tee shirts commemorating the show, which provides an important outreach to the community.<\/p>\n

The uniqueness comes from some of the vehicles displayed at this year\u2019s event: Art Himsl, well-known artist, designer and builder, brought his one-of-a-kind 1937 Himsl Zeppelin Roadliner; Arlen Ness, renowned motorcycle customizer, lent his 1951 Vincent Black Shadow, as well as his personal favorite, \u201cHalf & Half.\u201d Among the 90 other beautiful vehicles was an original 1965 AC Cobra 427 roadster. To see photos of \u201cHalf & Half\u201d and a stylized van, see Classic Vehicles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As unique as the vehicles are, the other important aspect that the classic car show celebrates is the life of Harvell, described by Gonzenbach as \u201ca friend to many\u201d who was known for \u201cbeing a friendly soul.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLee also loved his family, music and his hot rods,\u201d the pastor notes. \u201cLee\u2019s orange 1934 Ford (accompanying photo) was the winner of the January 2005 San Francisco Rod, Custom and Motorcycle Show and went on to win the \u2018Most Elegant\u2019 award at the March 2005 Blackies\u2019 Fresno Autorama. Last year, Lee helped Crossroads Covenant Church organize its first car show, which attracted more than 300 people. Lee was a great, generous, thoughtful man.\u201d<\/p>\n

Don McDowell, a friend of Harvell and a member of Crossroads Covenant, had the fun task of figuring out how to fit all of the motorcycles, hot rods and classic cars in the church parking lot. \u201cNext year we may have more cars than our lot can handle,\u201d Gonzenbach predicts.<\/p>\n
