Chryslers in the Canyon V Car Show Videos

Here is a little something to be thankful for...

HD Video Highlights from Chryslers in the Canyon V!!  Hopefully you are settled in to host friends and family this holiday season and can share your CIC V experiences with them.

If you've been living under a rock, you will want to check out Della's Chryslers in the Canyon V Pictures, which you can find here:

http://dellamoyer.smugmug.com/Cars-Car-Shows/Chryslers-in-the-Canyon-2013

If you were there, she's probably got pictures of your car.  The pictures have tons of size and print options, plus they ship quick...If you have't ordered your pics yet, what are you waiting for?  They will make a great gift!

Speaking of gifts, if you haven't picked up a Chryslers in the Canyon V T-Shirt, or other merchandise, you can do so here:

Courtney put together a very nice design and you can show your support by picking up some AAM or CIC Swag.

Now that we have that covered...on to the videos!

I'm a little too busy to get every car as it trickles in or out from the venue, but the vast majority should be covered here.  Let's get started with the drive-in video (brand-x vagrants were edited out as best they could be):

 And now, if I missed you there, you should be covered in this show field walkaround.  Due to awards,  I had to go around noon, but again, most of the attendees should be covered:

If you were in attendance at CIC V and managed to take some pics or videos, please submit them to us to be featured here and on the forum.

Also, if you won an award at this year's show and have not been checking your e-mail, please send me your vehicle info and most importantly the spelling on your name...The Winner's List is ready to go minus some spelling, which I want to get right the first time as it will be going up in video format as well.

Thanks again to everyone who attended and helped make this year's event yet another success!  We have already started planning Chryslers in the Canyon VI and hope to make it even better!

Della's Pictures from Chryslers in the Canyon V

Well, the moment you have all waited for is here!

Della took a TON of pictures this year and 1,144 of them are up on her SmugMug Site.

You can find the pictures here:

http://dellamoyer.smugmug.com/Cars-Car-Shows/Chryslers-in-the-Canyon-2013

You can scroll through the pictures, and when you find one you want simply click the "Add to Cart" Button and select from your size and print options.

SmugMug prints very nice photos, the prices are right, and the shipping time is very quick.

Once again, Della does all of this free-of-charge at the show.  It is a lot of work just snapping a thousand plus pictures, let alone having to then go home and edit/upload them within 3 days time.

She has a great time in the canyon, enjoys seeing all the cars, and loves visiting, but getting purchasing her prints is really the ultimate way to say thanks.  Even if you just buy prints of your car, I'm sure it would be much appreciated.  Make sure to scroll through all the pics to not only relive the event, but look for some different angles, Winner's Pics, and maybe even a few aerial shots.

We hope that you truly had a great time at Chryslers in the Canyon V.  It remains a true, grassroots event and the people like Della, who sacrifice their personal time to help make it even better are the people we need to take care of...For those of you first timers and from out-of-the-area, I'm sure after being in the canyon you agree that this is truly the best setting and backdrop you've ever had for a car show.

Della's pictures take advantage of the setting and your presence with a show stopping Mopar to create what should be one of the best pictures you have of your Mopar.

Enjoy the pictures!  And for those of you that missed out on the show, we hope all the pictures and videos help make you realize what you missed out on and encourage you to come back for Chryslers in the Canyon VI.

A big thanks once again to Della for making this happen!  If you would like to contact Della about shooting your event, or if you have any special requests, you can contact her via e-mail: dellamoyer@yahoo.com

Enjoy browsing and once more, thanks to Della for continuing to attend Chryslers in the Canyon and making it special for everyone with her great pictures!  The Award Winners will be posted soon if you need more examples of her stellar work!  Stay tuned!

Chryslers in the Canyon V: Thank You for Making the Show a Success!

Well, Chryslers in the Canyon V is in the books.

We were once again blessed with picture perfect weather for a car show...that worked out well for the 120 Mopars we had on site to enjoy the day!!

On behalf of myself and all the other CIC Staff Members, we can not thank you enough for taking the time and funding a trip to come in from out-of-town and join us in the canyon.

We had a lot of first timers and the response I repeatedly heard from them was, "This is the best venue I've ever been at for a car show."  We aren't joking around when we tell you that you can get some one-of-a-kind shots of you and your Mopar in the canyon.

We hope that you enjoyed your time in the Amarillo Area and we would love to have you join us again for Chryslers in the Canyon VI, or any other event.  We have grown Chryslers in the Canyon from a small gathering to what you saw today.  CIC is a true grass-roots car show.  The show's best growth honestly comes from you...When you go back home and tell folks what a good time you had, show your buddies pictures, and relive the experience you help the event continue to develop.  We think word of mouth remains the best asset to Chryslers in the Canyon's future.

Similarly, I have to give a big thanks to everyone "behind the scenes" who work not only at the event, but all through the year to promote, setup, and fund Chryslers in the Canyon.  The awards, pavilion, and anything else you see and enjoy has come courtesy of the contributions of our members.

Della has taken over 1,200 pictures from the show.  As you might have guessed, it is going to take some time to sort through the pictures and get them online.  The minute that happens we will let you know!  Remember, Della doesn't take the pics on an hourly fee, or lump sum for the event, she does it free of charge.  She only sees a return when you order pictures from her site.  As someone who has ordered pics from every CIC and a few other high-profile events she covered for us, I have yet to be disappointed and the pricing and quality of the pictures has been nothing short of stellar.

You may again have the shot at seeing your car in Chrysler Power's event coverage...We will naturally be the first to relay the news!

As usual, the toughest thing for those of us on the CIC Staff Side of the equation to handle was the awards presentation.  There are so many deserving cars and trucks...We upped the award total to 28 this year and would have liked to have had a lot more.  It is a truly demanding task, but we do our best to spread the awards out.  It was said many times today, but this really was an amazing show field.

We lucked out and the park once again cut everyone the group rate admission...They really enjoy getting to see all the cars come in to the park and are very proud to see out-of-the-area folks make the trip!

The next few days you will start to see pictures, video, and more surface online...We will update you here, on the AAM Forum, AAM News Page, AAM Twitter Feed, AAM Facebook Page, AAM YouTube Channel, and AAM Google + Page.

This truly was a great event and we hope that you feel the same way!  Several AAMers and CIC Staff Members have said it was one of the best times they've had so far...That is really saying something!

Personally, I never really get the time I'd like to check out all the Mopars and visit...Testament to how busy of a day it was, I didn't even remember to tell folks that I need your help voting for the Mopar 10 to have a shot at the Mopar Top Eliminator!  I figure I just as well plug it now: http://a.pgtb.me/FfxH6P  You can vote once every 24 Hours.  I am "Vehicle #5."  Please vote and share the link with your friends!

Again, I speak not only for myself, but everyone behind the scenes and in AAM...Thank YOU for coming out to Chryslers in the Canyon V and making it a success.  The goal remains to provide a place where Mopar folks can meet up and have some fun together.  We hope you will join us again next year!

Sincerely,

Lance
Founder, Amarillo Area Mopars

If you like that picture of the car Mopar selected for the collage, you might be interested in knowing that the picture you see was taken at last year's Chryslers in the Canyon IV.  How's that for good timing?  We weren't kidding when we said you could get some incredible shots of your Mopar.

CIC V: Friday Night, October 11th, 2013 Dinner and a Cruise

For those of you coming in from out-of-town on Friday Night we have set up dinner and a cruise.

We will meet up at Wild Bill's Filling Station at 6:15 PM Friday Night.

Wild Bill's is located at 3514 Southwest 6th Ave, just past Maryland Street:

There is plenty of parking for your Mopar and the menu consists of hamburgers, chicken fried steak, etc.

It is also low key, jeans and a t-shirt work just fine.

After dinner, we will set out on a cruise...Wild Bill's 6th Ave. is actually on Historic Route 66.

If you've got any questions about CIC V we will be able to answer them for you.

You can keep up with the basics, by skimming this post:

http://chryslersinthecanyon.amarilloareamopars.com/2013/09/cic-v-e-mail-to-pre-registrants-10113-t.html

The weather forecast is calling for Mostly Clear Skies and Temperatures in the lower-to-middle 70s.

We hope to see you there!

Chryslers in the Canyon V: T-Shirt and Award Artwork featuring Joe's 1968 Dodge Dart GTS

Well, good things come to those who wait...

Not only do we have a really nice custom design for our CIC V Event T-Shirts from Courtney:

We now have a killer design for the awards:

Once again, a big thanks to Courtney for the T-Shirt Design and Chad for the Award Design.

We are just 11 Days out from Chryslers in the Canyon V!

Remember, you can only get your Official CIC V Event T-Shirts Online..none will be available on site.  You can place your order here: http://www.cafepress.com/amarilloareamopars

And, to get an award with Chad's design you've got to come out to the canyon and be in attendance at the event!

We hope that you have made your plans to join us Saturday, October 12th, 2013 at Palo Duro Canyon State Park for a great day full of fun and Mopars!

Chryslers in the Canyon V: Official Event T-Shirts Available Now!

Well, as promised, you can now order in your Official Chryslers in the Canyon V T-Shirts!

Just head over to the AAM Storefront and click on the Chryslers in the Canyon V Section:
http://www.cafepress.com/amarilloareamopars/10436288

The shirts are all designed on white, as it was voted the color of choice.

The AAM Logo is on the Front, Left Chest and the back features the full rendering of Courtney's custom artwork!

These shirts are screen printed, so they are a step up from an iron on, or vinyl transfer look and should keep you cooler in the summer months.

I have ordered one in, had no issues with the order process, had the shirt in about a week, and it passed my scrutiny.  Here is what the artwork looks like on a real shirt:

You can also see it up close in a quick, video review:

<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="344" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/YbrbuErWeNg" width="459"></iframe>

There are of course other CIC Products up for order like some CIC V Stickers and various water bottles etc.  You can find more info on those products here: http://home.amarilloareamopars.com/

I can only personally vouch for what I have ordered in...so far the finish and initial quality has been very good.  When ordering, what you see is what you get.  If you see a product and the design doesn't look right, or up to your standards you have two-optoins: Don't order it, or buy it and hope for the best.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.  Cafe Press is a very reputable third party retailer and as much as I would like to stay "local" it has proven far too difficult to find someone that is into shirts/stickers etc, will take on work, does their job, and actually does it well.  I foresee no issues with Cafe Press and if you have any trouble, you can contact them directly and should get your issue resolved in a quick and professional manner.

If you want to see the CIC V Shirt, or any other of the merchandise I have ordered in let me know and I will try to make it happen.  If you order now you should have your CIC V Merchandise in BEFORE the October Cruise Night.

Hope you enjoy it, and again, a big thanks to Courtney for designing the CIC V Artwork for us!

Chryslers in the Canyon V T-Shirt Artwork by Courtney

With a few folks asking, we figured now was as good a time as any to let you in on the artwork for Chryslers in the Canyon V's T-Shirts.

You can expect order information and a preview of the finished product sometime in the next few days.

We took our Chrysler Power Magazine, Best Classic Mopar Winner, Joe, and pinned his 1968 Dodge Dart GTS against a canyon setting with the iconic lighthouse.

All artwork was designed and rendered by Courtney.  If you like her work and have a project in mind, send me the details and I will forward it on to her.  She stays pretty busy, but will take on extra projects as she is able...Advanced notice is key.  She is currently employed by a high-profile design firm and I know you won't be disappointed with her work.

With that said, here is what Courtney came up with:

Pretty snazzy, is it not?

We opted to place the AAM Logo on the Front, Left Chest:

And the CIC V Artwork Centered on the Back:

I have a sample shirt in-hand and will post up some pictures of the final product once everything is set up for ordering.

For now, feel free to grab the artwork and set it up as your Avatar on any Forums, Twitter, or User Pictures on Social Networking sites like Google + and Facebook.

A big thanks to Courtney for helping us out by making the CIC V Artwork for the shirts!

Chryslers in the Canyon V: Have You Seen Us in Mopar Muscle?

Hopefully you have been staying busy this Summer, but as Fall rolls around and the days get shorter there is more time to sit back and enjoy some print publications to get your Mopar fix.

And, if you have been doing just that, you likely noticed Chryslers in the Canyon V listed in the last few copies of Mopar Muscle!  If not, check it out here...

This is the November 2013 Cover...It is on newsstands now for $5.99:

If you turn to Page 79, you will find a listing for 

Chryslers in the Canyon V:

Not too shabby, eh?

Please remember to keep spread the word about Chryslers in the Canyon.  This is a true, grassroots event and we get the best turnout by word of mouth from past attendees.  That said, many thanks to Mopar Muscle for taking the time to include us in the listings!

If you can't find the magazine locally, you can get an e-subscription online.  Just head over to Mopar Muscle's website and take in all your options:

http://www.moparmusclemagazine.com/

If you're a subscriber, let them know you want MMM at CIC V to enjoy it with you!  Chrysler Power will be there ;)

Chryslers in the Canyon V Flyer

Chryslers in the Canyon V will take place Saturday, October 12th, 2013 in scenic Palo Duro Canyon.  We have once again reserved the Mack Dick Pavilion to provide accommodations for attendees.  We are in the process of making several improvements and think that this year will be the best yet!

A few things that have not changed is the fact that the show is free, Della will be on site to take pictures of your Mopar, and we will flim your car entering the canyon and upload it on YouTube.

Among the improvements for this year will be the new meet up point at Walmart.  While, not our ideal location, due to circumstances beyond our control it will work quite well. This location is just north of town and only adds a minute or two of drive time to the cruise.

Entry fee to the park will be $5 per person, but last year they made a last minute change and gave everyone a discount...That may happen again this year, but my advice is to plan on $5 per person and then gladly take the change if it pans out that way.

Event shirts should be available on site and made to your spec.

The awards will be structured in largely the same manner, but with our pre-registration going up extremely early this year we have the flexibility to add awards or adjust a few etc.

You can help us make this happen AND increase your own chances of winning by registering now:

http://www.amarilloareamopars.com/cicvregistration

You can also help us out by spreading the word on Chryslers in the Canyon V and printing off flyers to hand out in your area.

We look forward to seeing you and your Mopar this October!

Chryslers in the Canyon V Date Set! Saturday, October 12th, 2013

Mark your calendars now and spread the good word!
