In the photo is our convention's Saturday car show event emcee, Bruce Palmer.
Bruce Palmer isn't your typical DJ. He's a dyed-in-the-wool car guy and an asset to any car show in southeastern New England. Besides being the morning DJ voice of 100.1 FM, "The Pike", Worcester's #1 morning show, he hosts a different cruise night five nights a week, including the largest cruise night in the northeast (some nights over 2500 cars) held every other Thursday at Patriot Place, next to Gillette Stadium.
Not just that, he's booked up to host and DJ at various car shows and events every weekend through the whole car show season. He takes photos at all his shows and posts them on his website, cruisinbruce.com, each night after each gig. Then he's up before dawn each morning heading from his home in Coventry, Rhode Island, to Worcester for his morning radio show.
Convention deputy chairman Ray Bombardier says, "I honestly don't know when this guy sleeps but he's always on top of his game!"
He’s got a garage full of collector cars, including this uncommon 1959 Plymouth wagon.
Bruce Palmer has been a great friend to all the car clubs in the region through the years, including the Bay State Corvair Club. He's always quick to play Paul Revere & the Raiders' tune, "Corvair Baby" at any show where Corvairs are gathered.
Around New England, if you see that Cruisin' Bruce is hosting an event you know it's going to be first rate. In Sturbridge you'll agree after the first few minutes you hear him.
