VINTAGE: 'Sweetest LeMon' To Lead Tour ? RuralHobbyFarm.com

By RuralHobbyFarmer on July 27, 2012

More than 50 oddball cars participating in Hagerty?s Tour of LeMons in northern California on August 18 will be led by a 1970 Subaru 360 Deluxe sedan owned by Mindy Kindelberger of Lake Havasu City, Ariz.

Kindelberger won the opportunity after receiving more than 30 percent of votes in Hagerty?s second annual Search for America?s Sweetest LeMon contest. She and her Subaru, dubbed ?Lil Cab,? will lead the tour as it departs Laguna Grande Park in Seaside, Calif., at 10 a.m.

?Everyone in our hometown of Lake Havasu knows me for my car. People honk, take pictures and wave to me all the time,? Kindelberger says. ?My husband and I both love collecting cars, especially the oddballs, which are the ones that always get the most attention.?

Hagerty, the world?s leading insurer of classic cars, held the contest to find America?s favorite eccentric automobile. Each owners of a unique vehicle submitted photos of the car and a brief description of why it deserved to win. The top 10 candidates were posted for public vote on Hagerty.com, with the winner receiving an all-expense-paid trip to Hagerty?s Tour of LeMons.

The Tour of LeMons gives owners and enthusiasts a chance to enjoy lesser-celebrated vehicles as a counterpoint to the popular and prestigious automotive events that make up Monterey Classic Car Week every August.

?Regardless of vehicle type, the passion for automobiles is the one thing that ties all classic car enthusiasts together,? said McKeel Hagerty, CEO of Hagerty. ?The Tour of LeMons is a way to celebrate the unique cars that otherwise would not typically be honored.?
