This show celebrates the life of Larry Beck and draws attention to the Pan-Can Action Network and it’s fight against Pancreatic Cancer that took Larry.  For many car show enthusiasts Larry was not only a great friend, he was also the epitome of courage, positive attitude and truly a caring and wonderful man.  He fought a 3-year battle with cancer and was taken from us on March 21, 2006.  The Million Dollar Breakfast Cruise, that he created, is still going today and his inspiration will be with us forever.

The Sunday morning of the event, Enderle Center was full of hot rods and lots of people sitting at tables having coffee.  Larry’s widow Paula was there with their blown Ford powered ’56 Ford convertible.  Several people wore their t-shirts from Larry’s celebration of life, 5 years ago.  Special “Best in Show” trophies were waiting to be awarded.  About 10:30, after the 12 winners paraded thru the event, the show was over.

Donations to “Pan-Can c/o Larry Beck” would be welcome.

Thanks for the Show!
