Nocona, Texas is a small town on the way from Dallas to Amarillo, not too far from the Oklahoma border. Once an oil-producing area and the home of two of the Lone Star state’s premier bootmakers, Justin and then Nocona, the town went into a decline after the oil boom ended and the leathergoods companies merged and moved operations to El Paso.
This year Nocona and Vicari Auctions teamed up for “Cruisin’ Nocona,” a two-day family-oriented event capped off with a classic car auction on Saturday, April 20, featuring some choice Mopars, including a customized 1940 Plymouth, a 1968 Dodge Coronet R/T, a 1970 ‘Cuda convertible and more.
