Dave Gay, right, of Gardiner and Elijah Perry of Litchfield check out a 1923 Ford street rod Sunday during the Moxie Festival Car Show at Beaver Park in Lisbon. Gay says the owner, John Spencer, has a hard time backing up the car because the 502-cubic-inch engine is so powerful the car just wants to jump and go. Daryn Slover/Sun Journal

Frank Burgess Sr., right, of Peru and his son, Frank Burgess Jr., left, of Mexico brought their car, a 1934 Nash, to the show. “I love it. I love cars,” the younger Burgess says “I started tinkering when I was 8 years old.” Daryn Slover/Sun Journal
