Calling All Rodders,
Some lucky local cruisers had a once in a lifetime invitation to be a part of a national promotional photo shoot.
The Promoters of Tuning World an annual car show held in May in Germany. This attraction brings in over 1000 cars and over 100,000 spectators to this event. Along with the cars they also have a beauty contest to pick the next Miss Tuning to be used in all the promotional material for the event.
This year Kristin Zippel of Mering, Germany was the winner and along with the exclusive photo shoot in North America she won a New Nissan Micra.
One of the stops in North America is the wonderful Great Lakes. Erie was contacted and ask to help find cars for the photo shoot of local car enthusiast. Chris, from the Visit Erie office contacted us to help.
The German Promotional Group came into Erie about a month ago to meet with the local cruisers. It just happen to be a Friday Night and The Last Buggin State Street Event ! They then enjoyed a great evening in Downtown Erie and there they found a few more cars that they were interested in.
Today's event involved 3 local cruisers.
Our day started out at Beach #9 on Erie's beautiful Presque. Steve & Cheryl Nesselhauf and Son Cubby from Edinboro PA along with friend Kyle Sheehand who was lucky enough to tag along today! They brought out their 1955 Ford F-100 Truck to be apart of the photo shoot.
After some tense moments in the sinking sand Steve did a great job at getting his truck up on the beach. The the beautiful Miss Tuning, Kristin Zippel brought the pictures to life.
Then it was off to the next location. Erie's own Sara's Dinor at the entrance to Presque. The Dinor setting was perfect for the old skool HotRod shots. Rex & Annette Diemer from Waterford PA brought out their 1933 Plymouth Coupe to Sara's Dinor and there with the addition of some props and the wonderful backdrop of the Dinor, Miss Tuning, Kristin Zippel became the best mechanic in the area! You guys could only wish that your mechanic looked like her! We also enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Sara's.
Next the scene changes with the arrival of Paul & Marcia Jensen from Greene Township, in their 1966 Red Corvette Convertable. Our wonderful model, Kristin Zippel transformed into a full service Gas Station Attendant! What a fun day!
Thank you, Chris, from the Office of Visit Erie for including us this promotion.
And a sincere Thank You to Toby and his staff, Marc and his staff from Tuning World for giving us a day to remember! And for visiting our city. We all can't wait until the final 2011 Calendar comes out!
Also Kristin Zippel and her staff were a pleasure to work with.
