Painstakingly detailed pinstriping adorns the hood of a 1966 Chevy C-10 truck at the Bushy Run Car Cruise on Saturday, Sept. 30, 2023.

It’s easier than you might think to find parts for a 1928 Ford Model A.

“It’s one of the most popular antique cars out there,” said Ron Giuliana of Irwin, who secured himself one of the few available shady spots at the 11th annual Bushy Run Car Cruise, held Saturday in Penn Township. “Ford made about 4 million of them, and there are a couple places you can go to for part.”

Giuliana has owned the Ford Tudor since 1993.

“My uncle use to store antique cars in our garage up in Buffalo, N.Y., and he worked at the Chevy plant in Tonawanda, N.Y., so I’ve been around them most of my life,” Giuliana said.

From Giuliana’s Tudor, which is approaching the century mark, to newer-model Dodge Chargers, classic pickup trucks and the car-show standby, the Chevy Corvette, the weather couldn’t have been nicer for the annual car cruise, held at the Bushy Run Battlefield grounds.

Proceeds from the show benefit maintenance and programs held at the historic battlefield.
