News: “Reverse Parade” replaces Louisville’s traditional Labor Day event
Dan Wollman remembered the day in 1956 his father bought him a used 1930s Model A Ford coupe for $25.
The rusty, paint-faded car, purchased in 1956, came with an extra engine, in case the first went out, he said. Wollman, now 69, later used the car to take to take girls out on dates when he was a teenager. More recently he’s driven it to Louisville, Kentucky where he placed at the Street Rod Nationals.
Wollman has sunk about $100,000 into the car, which he showcased Monday at Louisville’s Labor Day Drive Thru Car Show. Instead of hosting its 85th annual Labor Day Parade, Louisville opted for a socially distant celebration.
About 90 people registered vehicles for the event, said Katie Zoss, arts and events program manager, and about 80 showed.
