Muscle cars, heavy chrome, wide whitewalls, running boards… maybe, even Phil Weisenbarger's classic Franklin. Sounds like a convergence of classic automobiles. Right you are.
On Friday, June 14, Main Street Bluffton will be the scene of the 46th annual Bluffton Festival of Wheels Cruise-In. It is a program of the Bluffton Lions Club and should be a couple hundred museum pieces on wheels to Bluffton.
Here’s what you need to know:

The event also features the Pumpkin Vine Railroad (it was at the arts and crafts show), which is a kid’s train ride.
The Bluffton Lions Foundation will offer raffle tickets for the 2013 Charity Corvette Raffle.
