About this event
Your opportunity to see, first-hand, up close & personal the magic Chris Cruz does with an air brush, talent and creativity. His mastery of custom painting is renowned here in Central Florida. He has done several member's cars that are consistent show winners. This is a "DON'T MISS" cruise if you have any plans to "customize" your Vette Ride. Chris Cruz Artistry ------- Located in the town of Deland, Florida, you will find one of the leading automotive airbrush artist, Chris Cruz. In business for over 30 years, this custom paint shop has produced a countless variety of 'Art on Wheels', many have literally traveled all over the world. With his long history of talent, Chris Cruz has developed a very versatile custom paint shop that continues to provide outstanding custom paint, art, and designs to fill the roadways, airway, and waterway, etc. Adding uniqueness and personalization to the Art of your desire is what Chris Cruz Artistry aims to do. Several Village Vettes members have cars that have beautiful graphics on their cars (Reynolds, Strokes', Vinson's, Steiner's' to name a few) by Chris Cruz. ------ During our 1 to 1.5 hour visit at Chris Cruz Artistry, Chris will do a demo of pinstriping or airbrushing. Most folks love to see him in action which is pretty amazing to watch! The demo art he will be working on will be the "1st" place door prize that will give away to one of the lucky Village Vettes members. Chris Cruz will also have a few other door prizes of T-shirts and a CCA gift certificate to give away. Chris will gladly talk to anyone who has questions or concerns with their own car paint issues, and/or information on paint, pinstriping, graphics, lettering, etc. They will also plan to make arrangements with the Meguires rep that joined us at a previous monthly meeting to be on site to help with any paint issues as well and perhaps be able to take care of some minor problems on someone's car.
The day wouldn't be complete without Lunch at the infamous Swamp House Grill ------ Following our outing at Chris Cruz Artistry, we will take a short drive south to the nearby Swamp House Grill, a wonderful restaurant overlooking the peaceful and "lazy" St. Johns River; one of the few rivers that flows north in the U.S. It is a great place to eat and chat, and with a great food selection and many other exquisite attractions, Imagine sitting on the coveted railing and watching a hawk swoop down from a nearby tree, all the while enjoying a nice meal. It makes for the perfect dining experience. ---- The restaurant has live music every Saturday afternoon at its dockside Tiki Bar, with music ranging from Jimmy Buffet to modern country, and even some rock n' roll. Besides viewing nature's artwork while overlooking the St. Johns River, there's much artwork to be seen inside the restaurant as well. Many wildlife pictures and unique pieces of art adorn the walls.
