Michael Ellingwood works on his 1946 Dodge street rod at his home in Auburn on Thursday. The retired heavy equipment operator said it hasn’t been the best summer for organized cruise nights because of the COVID-19 pandemic, hot weather and vehicles with no air conditioning and big motors that generate a lot of heat. The Dodge has a 360-cubic-inch AMC motor and cost $940 when new. Daryn Slover/Sun Journal Buy this Photo
