Aug. 5, 2010 - PRLog -- New Britain Dodge dealer, Papa’s Dodge, is a sponsor of this year’s Dream Cruise and is excited to announce the list of celebrities who have announced plans to attend the charitable event.  Steve “Magneto” Manante, Derek Poundstone and Wayne Carini will all be attending the Dream Ride in support of Special Olympics Connecticut athletes.

About the Celebrities:

Steve “Magneto” Manante, Automotive Journalist and TV Talk Show host, Wayne Carini, Owner of F40 Motor Sports and host of Chasing Classic Cars and Derek Poundstone, The “Worlds Strongest Man” and a Naugatuck Policeman, have committed to participate in “Dream Cruise, 2010”.

Steve is a contributor to many Automotive enthusiast magazines and well as hosting TV shows and appearing on the “Barrett Jackson” Auctions shows. As a mater of fact he did the descriptions on some vehicle that Papa’s Dodge Chrysler Jeep recently sold at the Barrett Jackson Auction in Florida.

Every car enthusiast in America loves and admires classic cars. DIY's Classic Car Restoration, with host Steve “Magneto” Magnante, is a hands-on, back-to-the-basics series about maintaining and restoring vintage automobiles. You get step-by-step instructions on everything from engine enhancements to upgrading suspension components to replacing a worn interior.

Steve Magnante became obsessed with cars at the age of five when his mom gave him his first Hot Wheels car. From there it was plastic model kits and then a never-ending succession of full-size cars, some running, some not (yet). With a bachelor’s degree from Clark University and 20 years of hands-on experience, Steve sees cars as a mixture of engineering, art, fun, and trouble. Since his move to Southern California, he has been a frequent contributor to numerous car magazines such as Mopar Action, Popular Mechanics, Chrysler Power, Super Chevy, and Hot Rod.

Wayne Carini, with a lifetime of experience in automobile restoration under his belt, has a resume that includes body and paint work on rare car collections owned by the likes of David Letterman, tennis great Ivan Lendl and the DuPont family. He's been featured in the New York Times as well as numerous automobile magazines, and starred in two one-hour television specials. Now, Chasing Classic Cars gives viewers a true insider's look into Wayne's inner circle as he embarks on his personal mission to uncover the world's most rare and exotic cars.

Wayne's passion for cars started when he was a child, working alongside his father on such classics as Duesenbergs, Lincolns, Packards and Ford Model As. Then, at just 9 years of age, he experienced a life altering event: he went for a ride in his first Ferrari, a 1960 Rosso Chiaro 250 SWB to be exact. Wayne was instantly bitten by the Ferrari bug and hooked for life. Automobiles have been Wayne's passion ever since.

Derek Poundstone, 6'1", 341 lb is an American professional strongman athlete from Waterbury, Connecticut. Derek Poundstone is also a police officer for the Naugatuck, Connecticut Police Department. At the age of 14, Derek found himself at a cross roads and joined the local YMCA, where he began his lifelong love affair with “moving weight”. Derek began by competing in powerlifting and progressed to become the Connecticut State Champion. He started competing in strongman after finding an advertisement for a contest on the back of a powerlifting flyer. Derek became the 2008 Strongman Super Series champion after accumulating the most points throughout the Grand Prix. Derek is the only man to win Arnold Strongman classic twice winning in 2009 and successfully defending his championship in 2010 making him the current “Worlds Strongest Man.

They will be signing autographs and available to speak with guest over the course of the two day Dream Cruise 2010 events Saturday August 21 and Sunday August 22.

Papa’s Dodge also reminds area residents that they are hosting two very special Dream Cruise events.  On Saturday August 21st from 7-11pm, everyone is invited to the Papa’s Dodge dealership for a big party featuring classic cars, music, food and prizes.  On Sunday, consumers are invited to cruise to Bridgeport, Connecticut, site of the 2010 Dream Cruise, with over 250 classic cars leaving from the Papa’s Dodge dealership.
