Name That Car – Ohio Demolition Derby Edition
This weekend Automopedia witnessed one of the best Ohio traditions – The Loraine Co. Fair & Wellington Demolition Derby. If you have the means to see a demo derby we highly recommend checking one out. There’s nothing like an open field, the smell of fresh mud, grass-fed hot dogs & hamburgers, the roar of V8 & V10, and the sounds of smashing metal. Part of the fun is spotting what make and model each demo car is before a bout – and seeing what’s left of them after.
Here are a few hints – pretty much all Demolition Derby vehicles are American Made Automobiles – because frankly those imports come apart way too easily. Also, most of the vehicles are 4-door sedans from the mid-1970′s to late 1980′s (Except for one Mercury Grand Marquis, circa 1994, that popped in this year). The winner of each bout, which this year consisted of a Lincoln Town Car, a Cadillac Coupe DeVille, one early 70′s Dodge Charger and a rare Ford Crown Vic station wagon, went on until the final round – where it’s white knuckle driving until the last car stands. So, grab your trucker hat and bag-o-kettle corn, cause Automopedia is goin’ down home to the ol’ fairgrounds for some demo derby action! Let us know your results with a comment, we’ll update you once we figure out which car is which under all the carnage.
