The first "Swiss Day" I attended was in the later 1970s. I was a student at Bluffton College and working under Dr. Delbert Gratz at the Musselman Library on campus. After his invitation, I ventured into Marbeck Center on a Sunday afternoon to find something very special. It was the start of my love for this tradition.
At Bluffton Cars & Coffee, appreciation for autos, commercial vehicles, motorcycles, etc. gets up close and personal. On June 22 these vintage car buffs took a good look under the hood of a Chevrolet 3100, a 1/2 ton pickup truck c. 1947-1955. PHOTO by Ellie Bergstrand.
