California boy Bud Bailey’s obsession with cars started as a teen.
“We all have stories of growing up in the automobile generation,” said Bailey, 67. “Most baby boomers relate to the fantasy of cars, ones we had, ones we sold, and the ones we always wanted.”
Here’s a major score for Bailey: He’s the owner of a 1977 308 Ferrari that was once owned and driven — and autographed — by movie star Paul Newman. That car will be featured today at this year’s Touchmark at Fairway Village Car Show — along with more than 100 others. There will also be music, entertainment and a barbecue.
The eighth annual Touchmark Car Show is set for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today at 2911 S.E. Village Loop in east Vancouver. Admission is free, but donations for Meals on Wheels People (aka Loaves & Fishes) will be gratefully accepted. Touchmark has generated $15,000 for the charity since the show began.
