I continue my laborious ramblings about why the one time issued Monogram 1/24 scale 1970 Chevy Malibu is so significant to me.
How did I end up in Idaho, and is ‘following the jobs’ worth it?

1970 CHEVY MALIBU, MY OLDEST SURVIVING CAR KIT & WHY IT’S SPECIAL TO ME
After a seven years hiatus, the car show finally returned to Chubbuck Days, in Southeastern Idaho, 12AUG2023.
I’ve been attending Chubbuck Days since 1998, the previous Chubbuck Days car show was in 2016, with much reduced participation and many of the vehicles being for sale.

CAR SHOW & HELICOPTER FORCED LANDING
After 2016, the so-called neighborhood improvement projects blocked access to Cotant Park, along with the park’s playground and tennis courts being ripped-up and replaced by a parking lot (also, the substitute park chosen for Chubbuck Days was too small to accommodate a car show), with the projects completed just in time for the ‘Pland-emic’ Paranoia which resulted in the cancelation of all local public events.
