Smile

What makes Barry Dixon smile? “Old cars,” said the 59-year-old Noblesville resident, a 1981 graduate of Noblesville High School. He met ‘89 NHS grad Michelle Menchaca Dixon when he was 29 and she was 21. They were married a year later in 1993. They own a 1955 Cadillac and are the second owners of the car, which has a 331 V8 engine and manual transmission. The Cadillac was in good condition when they purchased it, and it only needed light restoration, Dixon said. The car has the original 331 Cadillac motor. He started the Lucky Teter Rebel Run Car and Vintage Motorcycle Show. Dixon, a Freemason of more than 20 years, founded the car show to help out the Noblesville Masonic Lodge’s Angel Fund. Originally started in the parking lot of the Noblesville bowling alley, the show’s move to Forest Park changed themes after Barry discovered that Lucky Teter was also a Freemason. This year’s Lucky Teter Rebel Run car show is Sept. 2. Barry plays in two bands, upright bass with Big Wally & the Homewreckers, a rockabilly band; and electric bass in Fast Cadillac, a classic-rock band, that will play at 7 p.m. today at Primeval Brewing in downtown Noblesville. Best things in life? “Family, cars, music and my wife.”
