STERLING HEIGHTS — On June 24, the Fun Time Cruzers held their final Monday Night Cruise-In at Lakeside Mall. Knowing it was the last event at the mall location, about 500 classic car owners drove their vintage vehicles into the food court parking lot, where the event had been held for the past two decades.
With the mall closing and being redeveloped into a town center of apartments, retail shops, office space, green space, a community center and more, the classic car cruisers are looking for a new home.
For 20 years, the Fun Time Cruzers met from 4-8 p.m. Monday evenings from May to September at the mall. Anywhere from 200 to 300 cars showed up each time, and prizes were given away every hour for best paint, best interior, best late-model cruiser, sweetest ride, “best custom cruzer” and more. The fun included photo shoots, raffles and camaraderie.
According to Fun Time Cruzers President Ken Savage, the group is looking for a new spot for their Monday Night Cruise-Ins.
“We want it to be a mutual relationship. We can bring some fun to the location, more people and more business,” said Savage, who added he receives phone calls each day from members asking “Where are we meeting?”
At press time the location had not been officially confirmed, but Savage remains hopeful for a new venue. Visit the Fun Time Cruzers website, funtimecruzers.com, for updates.
