Smile 1959 98 SceniCoupe - At the car show

I just wanted to share a coupe of photos of the car show my dad, brother and I attended yesterday in Arvada, CO. My brother took his 1973 442, I had my 1970 Cutlass convertible, and my dad drove his newly acquired 1959 98, named Dixie! At final count there was 156 classics, street rods, muscle cars and everything else in between in attendance. They awarded ten Top 10 awards, Peoples Choice, and a Best of Show. I was floored when the judge called entrant #88! Our '59 Olds won Best of Show! This was the first show that Dixie has been to since we have owned her. My dad rode out to California with me in my 2003 Silverado 1/2 ton and we towed her back the second week of July. She is a beauty and I look forward to going with my pop to more shows in the future!

I am glad you posted this. Bob sent this to me on Sunday. I was very happy for him. He has really been a good friend for a number of years now. This is a very sweet car.

Thanks Glen! It is a huge honor to have your car voted as Best of Show. I know my dad is proud of her. Dixie is a keeper, that's for sure!
