American Graffiti Star to Attend Cops & Rodders!
Where were you in '62?
Academy Award Nominee, Actress Candy Clark, will be our featured guest at the 2010 Cops and Rodders Car Show!
Candy played the role of “Debbie Dunham” in the 1972 movie, American Graffiti,
which was also nominated for an Academy Award in 1973. The movie claimed world wide appeal in 1972 and was the quintessential coming of age
teen and car story and one of American Film Institute's top 100 movies of all time. Debbie (played by Candy Clark)
was that kooky, fun loving girl, with the blonde hair, with a live free attitude and sex appeal. During the movie,
she was Terry “The Toad's” friend for the evening as they went on a rollicking series of misadventures.
Candy and Charles Martin Smith who played “Terry — the Toad — Fields” had a real on screen “chemistry,” that
carried a large portion of the movie, and thus the recognition and Academy Award nomination of Candy for her role in the movie.
It also spawned hope in a lot of teen boys at the time that there was a beautiful and romantic girl out there waiting to meet them.
The cars featured in the movie are some of the all-time classic cars desired by the “Baby Boom” generation of today.

Remembering Jim Russell, Cops and Rodders Committee Member
One of very first committee members and participant in all of our shows, retired Tucson Fire Department Deputy Chief James R. Russell passed
away on March 8, 2010 after a valiant fight against cancer. Jim was a native of Arizona and was born 7-3-34 in Douglas, AZ. Jim was hired on at the
Tucson Fire Department in 1960 and rose through the ranks to become the second highest commander as the Deputy Chief, the position he held until 1990
when he retired. Jim was the 54th person assigned a Chief Officer title since the beginning of the Tucson Fire Department.

Thanks to Our Title Sponsor:
Jim Click Automotive Team
Jim Click is known in Southern Arizona as the premiere car dealer. His business has grown over the years and so has his taste in cars. When Jim
was a young man in Oklahoma, his father owned a Chevrolet dealership and Jim's favorite ride at that time was the famous Chevy 409. “I guess my
favorite car story was in high school, I had a 1961 Chevy 409, yes, that's right ? a Chevy.”

The 1946 Work Truck that became a Winner!
During World War II our nation's automakers were all involved in the production of vehicles for our military in an all out effort to defeat the
Axis powers. As a result, civilian truck production was very limited, the Federal government permitting civilian production only for essential users.
But in 1945 at the end of the war, companies including Chevrolet were again given permission to build civilian heavy-duty chassis cabs, medium and
light duty pickup trucks with a variety of wheel bases. Chevrolet advertised their truck as “America's Most Popular Truck.” With all of the chrome
on the grill and body, these trucks were often called, “Art Deco Models.”
Larry Snedden, who retired at 61, happened to come across one of these “Art Deco” trucks about two years before he retired just sitting along the
road in Longview Washington... full story »
