Went to another small show today (pics)

This was the first annual show for the group that organized it. Only had about 25 cars because a lot of people didn't wanna brave the 95 deg heat and 105 heat index, but there was a nice shady spot that some of us were able to take advantage of with a nice breeze so it wasn't too bad. I managed to win a top 20.





This truck got Best of Show.

The trophies were done on a 3D printer and the gears actually turn

The Galaxy looks like a sweet car. I was at a local show last night in my area, it was humid, and I should have worn a cotton shirt instead of a polyester blend.

Nice. I really like the 63 Ford and the 64 Fairlane. I had the chance to go to a show this morning but it was going to be in a concrete parking lot and it is just too damn hot to sit out there. Maybe it is because I am 79. If it ain't fun, I don't do it. Congrats on your win.

Nice bunch of photos, congrats on the win too! I’m taking my car to a small town show in the morning, weather looking cloudy, high of 76. Rain coming later in the day so the show should be a go.

Thanks! The judges were really fair and impartial and took their time. They actually used a points system, and I was the third one called, so I'm guessing I did pretty well. Either way, I'm digging the trophy. When I first saw what they looked like, I was hoping I'd get to take one home.

Dave - Glad you took home that trophy, buddy. You likely haven't watched the Netflix series "Breaking Bad" (Los Pollos Hermanos sign). I tried.
