The top deck at Plush Mills looked like a movie set recently, filled with a dozen vintage vehicles from the Road Runners Car Club. As residents and visitors strolled around the display, you could hear stories, memories, and laughter at every car. Residents marveled at rumble seats, where children often rode - without seatbelts and perilously close to the gas tank. The only way to communicate with the driver was by pounding on the roof.

Speaking of classic cars, many of the Plush Mills staff just happened to be wearing the classic combination of black and white on the day of the car show.

After taking a gander at the autos, residents and guests cooled off with water ice on the sultry summer afternoon.
