On Saturday, Aug. 17, 2024, Charlie and Becky Griffith attended the White River Yacht Club Classic Car and Boat Show in Indianapolis. The event benefits the Riley Children’s Foundation/Cancer Research. This is a multi-brand car and boat show. There were 146 vehicles in attendance, ranging from Volkswagens, Jeeps, Studebakers, Indy cars, Packards, Lincolns, Rolls-Royces, Bentleys and many more. There were food vendors, a silent auction, a 50/50 drawing, and a mystery wine pull to make things more fun.

Charlie and Becky Griffith, LCOC members from Indianapolis, attended with their 1966 Lincoln Continental Coupe named “Buttercup.” The rare coupe was well-received by many of the spectators. Fellow Hoosier Region member George Odom of Fishers, Indiana, brought his 1946 Lincoln Continental Cabriolet. Unfortunately, the authors didn’t get a chance to meet up with Mr. Odom. This was a fun event, and the proceeds go to a great cause. We hope that we can stir up more interest for next year.
