Her siblings are proud that their brother-in-law was able to restore the car and it's a precious family memory. "My husband did all the work. He brought it back to the 50s style. Not the Hot Rod, but the original look with the seats recovered," she continued. "It was a labor of love to get it back to where it was," Sharyn continued. The Johnsons drove the car to Catawa from Charlotte last week for a cruise-in. Their son-in-law is a dentist there and they decided to take car for a ride. "It is an old-fashioned town, fountain drinks, an old Rexall Drug, like the one in Spindale where I spent summers with my aunt and uncle (Dan and Helen Simmons)." "The car show (Hot Rides Cool Nights) was one of the fi rst car shows we went to last year," Sharyn said. "I won the award - the Jim Wantuch Memorial Award. It was so special. We just had the best time." Roger and Myra Moore also received the same trophy last year for their 1954 Chevy Truck 5100. "We are enjoying this car. We don't trailer it to car shows. We drive it. " Sharyn is looking forward to coming back to Forest City August 18 and 19 and the couple plan to stay overnight Friday after the Cruise-In. "Forest City is a beautiful place. Downtown is perfect, fl owers are beautiful, the old town clock, the old small town feel and it's just a beautiful place to have a car show. This is where our family was when we visited our grandparents. It has a special meaning to us because this is where our parents grew up," she said. There were plenty of cousins, aunts and uncles who live in Forest City, Bostic, Sunshine, Spindale, Tryon and Alexander Mills. We love coming back here," she said. Now retired, Sharyn and Skipper have a pick-up truck and a Buick when not driving the award-winning Chevy.
