Inside The FFF EP014

Published: Feb. 22, 2018, 3:05 p.m.

On our 14th episode of Inside the Triple F, we head back to Costa Mesa for the 2017 Cruisin for a Cure 18th Annual car show on September 23.

 

Cruisin for a Cure is one of the largest car shows we've even been too. And it just keeps getting more and more impressive. I think it's because of the theme of the show. Prostate Cancer awareness. The subject might be heavy but the mood is light and friendly. One of the key parts of the show is the ability for men to get a free screening PSA and DRE tests there at the show. 

 

Debbie Baker started Cruisin for a cure back in 1998 when her husband was diagnosed with Prostate cancer.  The show was created to get men into an environment where they have fun and feel comfortable to take the test and perhaps save their lives.  Debbie has a big heart and a show stopping golf cart she rides around in at the show.  

 

Some fun facts about the show

They average 815 tests during the 1 day show.

Around 3500 show vehicles

About 20000 to 25000 spectators

And my favorite part is the 1.5 mile cruise around the show complex.  That's right you can drive your car around the show during the show. I think they are the only ones that do this.

Just like Fabulous Fords Forever this is a Volunteer run car show.  So thumbs up to all the volunteers that put on that show because we know these huge car shows take a lot of effort.   

We also have a great interview for you. Bob Lee talks about his 57 Ford 2 door 300 Custom.  From High School love to the drag strip to show car to getting crunched to premium show car once again this car has seen it all.
