See Ford blue in Kalamazoo with Lincolns, Mercurys and Edsels too!
By Mike Denney
The Road Race Lincoln Register hosted 2019’s Lincoln Homecoming, August 7th through the
12th, 2019. The decision was made early on in the planning that we wanted to change it up this
year by inviting all Ford products to the show. We welcomed 125 members and their families from
all four Lincoln clubs plus Ford, Edsel and Mercury for this first time event featuring all Ford-built
automobiles. All in all, the event was a success, however we were a little disappointed in the turn
out of non Lincoln cars. The non-Lincolns that did show were high quality and pretty diverse.

Tour and Tasting Class at Culinary Institute of America
Tour and Tasting Class at Culinary Institute of America
The classic car show wasn’t the only event exhibiting good taste at the LCOC Eastern National Meet in Hyde Park, N.Y. On the Friday before the meet, over 60 club members toured the Culinary Institute of America facility in small groups and then reunited to take a tasting class. Participants toured behind the scenes at the most prestigious cooking school in America. Watching students master a variety of culinary skills was humbling for even the most accomplished of amateur chefs. Their curriculum includes labs in food science and prep; mincing, slicing and dicing; menu creation; sauces and the latest cooking techniques; baking bread; making desserts; and creating chocolate masterpieces and exotic decorations for cakes beautiful enough to be in an art gallery. The aromas wafting through the halls were beyond enticing. Students in the hospitality program learn skills in that field in addition to their cooking program. At different points in their education, the students work in the kitchens of the various restaurants on the campus that are open to the public. Those of us lucky enough to snag a reservation had the treat of our lives.
Our dining experience was enhanced by what was learned in our tasting class, conducted by one of the master chefs who lectured on the physiology of taste to a packed house. Chef David Bruno walked us through 8 different tests related to how we taste, confirming that Taste + Aroma = Flavor. Our sensory experience of flavor is enhanced by seeing, hearing, smelling, feeling and, not surprisingly, emotional memory. Additionally, our learnings about what different items can enhance flavor will inform both future cooking and dining experiences.

There were so may excellent late 20th century Lincolns and Continentals at the Eastern National Meet that I am glad not to have been a judge!
Latter-year Continentals from Mark IIIs to Mark VIIIs were on display (and early ones too) along with Town Cars, Town Coupes and LS models. See below for some lovely examples.
Town Cars and Town Coupes were popular with entrants as well. Here are a few photos of those models.
Even post-2000 Lincolns were there—2002 and 2004 LS models owned by Mike Bradley and Charles Beatrice, respectively. They joined a 2018 Continental owned by Erling Onsager. Thus, all the generations of Continentals were represented at the Eastern National Meet.
