Without a doubt this is Curtis Lindahl’s pride and joy-a 1926 Chevrolet Superior 6 that he owns with his brother, David. The Chevy was overhauled last year by Elmer Olson of Hagerman Lake and will be one of the vehicles featured at the fifth annual Father’s Day Antique and Classic Auto Show, which will be held Sunday, June 20 at Stambaugh’s Nelson Field. The old lovelies will be parading through the West Side communities Friday starting at 7 p.m., and registration for the show starts Sunday at 9:30 a.m. with the trophy drawing to be held at 3 p.m. The event is sponsored by the Iron County Auto Club.
