Bethel, in western Alaska off the U.S. road system, is sometimes called “where cars come to die.”
But car lovers and fixer-uppers see something else: a unique hodgepodge of vehicles. Seeing a Tesla or the latest truck brings an extra delight. “We’re looking for anybody to come out, enjoy the show. Learn a little bit about vehicles, all makes and models,” Huckstep said. “All are welcome to come and get people like-minded, interested in both old and new cars.”
Huckstep doesn’t really know which cars to expect, but he anticipates an Italian sports car, a yellow 1940s truck, an International Scout, and various cars, Jeeps, and trucks from the ’40s, ’70s, and ’80s. Huckstep has his own 1971 vehicle: a long-bed Toyota flatbed truck, commonly known as an “ute.”A local church donated their black food truck for the day.
