The Myrtle Beach Car Club hosted the 4th Annual Wheels At The Beach Car Show on September 5, 2009 in conjunction with the Beach, Boogie, and BBQ Festival. This year’s car show was in memory of Myrtle Beach Car Club Member, Mr. Dick Axelrod. On display was the 1963 Ford Galaxie 500XL Convertible that Mr. and Mrs. Axelrod purchased new in 1963. The Galaxie 500XL, completely original and never restored, remains in the care of Mrs. Axelrod.
Over 200 hot rods, classics, muscle cars, antiques, and unique vehicles parked along Farrow Parkway in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and participated in the event. Corvette, Chevelle, Mustang, Monte Carlo, and Camaro, were some of the usual suspects that were in the lineup. Two of the names that are less common that were also represented at the 2009 Wheels At The Beach Car Show were Hudson and Austin Healy. The automobiles on display were brilliant under the blue sky and sunshine.
Carsolina thanks the members of the Myrtle Beach Car Club and the owners of the spectacular vehicles who participated in the Wheels At The Beach Car Show in memory of Mr. Dick Axelrod.
Year by Year that show is growing. I am so proud that shows like this one is capable of bringing the cars ‘out of the woodwork’. What’s so great about classic cars, when you go to a car show, it takes you to another place and time…….but that is a story all it’s own…..
