Second Place!
A very nice day for a car show but a very strange class as the organizers mixed foreign and domestic cars in the same classes. We were up against a number of mid 70's muscle cars and one 2003 Mitsubishi! We beat all the muscle cars but came in behind the Mitsubishi. |

Best Display!
I'm not completely clear on what this award is as there were no specific classes. Based on the other awards (Best Paint, Best Engine, Best Hot Rod, etc.) I think it means the best overall presentation (concept, cleanliness, layout, etc.) |
