The inaugural Deuces on 101 is officially in the books, the brainchild of Steve
Lykken, his family and friends…and a success all around!
Four hotels were used to house the entrants, with the Hampton Inn & Suites being
the headquarters; Friday evening Mark Mendenhall opened the Mendenhall
Museum of Gasoline Pumps for an outstanding BBQ, with the guests also being
overwhelmed with the sheer size of the collection…a stop all enthusiasts should put
on their bucket list.
Saturday, as you entered the Zaca Creek Golf Course (which was closed for the
event) you were greeted by Steve, his family, close friends Bobby, Ken, Bob, Steve
and many others…you drove past the Lykken collection of deuces as you parked on
the grass, with several of the sponsors on hand with their deuces as well—John
Manning with his hiboy and his roadster pickup next to Steve’s deuces…across the
fairway Image Street Rods & Customs displayed their ’32 2-door Phaeton and a
beautiful chassis destined for a deuce 3-window. With this being an all ’32 deal,
Steve reached out to sponsors for items to raffle…Sid Chavers donated one of his
beautiful Bop Tops, Brookville Roadster offered a deuce grille shell, with C.W.
Moss sending an insert, all top of the line deuce items. Paul & Malena Martinez,
RODDING USA Magazine were also on hand with their beautiful Deuce roadster
pickup to cover the Deuces on 101 Show for a future issue, as well as photographing
deuces for upcoming magazine features.
The day kicked off with Steve welcoming everyone, introducing some of the
charities that would benefit from the show, as well as many of the friends and
volunteers needed to pull this off--the short introductions concluded with Ken
Partch’s beautiful song…setting the tone for the day.
The show--there were many body styles of the Deuce on hand, Al Clark, the wizard
behind Deuce Days in Canada, drove his Tudor, as well as Terry Grant driving his
3-window, motored down from Vancouver. With the Bay Area Roadsters,
California Roadsters, Central Coast Roadsters, L. A. Roadsters, Valley Roadsters
and San Luis Roadsters providing a large contingent of roadsters…hiboys, fendered
roadsters and roadster pickups, the show was truly a sight to behold, 165 Deuces on
the grass!
While dates haven’t been set for the 2
nd Annual Deuces on 101 for 2020, you can bet
that once the word is out on this year’s event, the entry list will certainly grow…see
you in 2020!
