Wow! That was a fun day! Even though the temps were a little low, the sun was out and so were the car people. Dinosaur Cruise 2026 is in the books. Here are a few street rods we saw along the way.

A new year is here, and you know what that means…
car show season is right around the corner. 🏁

If you’ve got a pre-’49 street rod, Quincy, Illinois needs to be on your calendar.

📍 Early Tin Dusters Car Show
📅 October 16–18
🚗 Early iron, traditional builds, and the kind of laid-back atmosphere that keeps people coming back year after year.

This isn’t about trends or trophy chasing — it’s about old tin, good friends, and doing it the way it’s always been done. If your car was built to be driven and enjoyed, you’ll fit right in.

Start the year off right, start planning those road trips, and make sure Quincy is one of your stops this fall.

👉 Pre-’49 street rods belong here. See you in October.

What better way to kick off the new year than a cruise with good friends and good food at Ethyl's O'Fallon
