Video Viewfinder: Shiny, Curvy, Powerful Cars Come to Montville

Eli Ault is 30. He has had cancer since he was 12, when he was diagnosed with Hodgkins lymphoma, a cancer of the white blood cells.

Cancer has come back again and again, says Sandy Schrader of Waterford. Now, Ault has four kinds of cancer, Schrader says. And while Ault has bad days, he also has good ones.

Schraeder and his wife Sally, and Ault and his best friend Jack McLean of Groton, with whom Ault lives, were all at Saturday's car show in the Tri-Town Foods parking lot in Montville.

One of the things that brings the good days to Ault is his car, a 1966 Dart Charger, that Schrader, McLean and dozens and dozens of other people and businesses, including people from a car magazine called MOPAR restored for Ault in fewer  than 60 days.

Recently, McLean says, Ault and he and many others went to a big show in Carlisle, PA, where Ault showed off the car and received lots of support and accolades. To read about that show, click here.

The Southeastern Connecticut Mustang Club holds a car show every third Saturday of the month during the summer, at the Tri-Town Foods parking lot on Route 32.

The club awards trophies each time, has a raffle, and raises money at the events and through the sales of paper butterflies. It donates all the money, at Christmas, to the Children's Hospital, says Mary Azukas.

Thirty to 60 cars participate each month, Azukas says, and many people come just to see the cars.
