We wanted to let all you folks who might be in and around the Charlotte area late this month know that our buddy Tom Cotter is preparing to host the 12th annual edition of his Woody Party on Saturday, September 25, from noon to dark in Davidson, North Carolina.

You guys all know Tom, who’s actually better known as a Cobra freak (he’s blasting one around the Rockies as we write this) and an author who chronicles barn finds and the history of custom cars, is very big into woodies. When he visited the Hemmings New England Concours in July, to serve as guest speaker, Tom brought his own, a 1939 Ford he’s owned since was 14 years old and living on Long Island. The Woody Party is at Westmoreland Farm, along State Route 73 in Davidson, just off Interstate 77. Price of admission is a case of canned food, to be donated to the Ada Jenkins Center Food Pantry.
