Best of Show

[Chongo 68]

Kind of speechless at the moment, went to a car show today, beautiful day, great cars…hung around longer than usual to see the trophies be handed out and ended up taking 3rd place in my class. Miles of smiles on the way home with my first trophy! Pull into my garage as it started raining, and the phone rings…it was the sponsors of the car show and they said I won Best of Show! Got in my truck and headed back to the event as fast as I could to get the trophy. I was blown away that it was a hand made work of art, very honored as this car was never intended to be about me but a rolling monument to my dad. What a day! Cheer to you Dad!

So you were one of three cars that showed up?

Sorry I couldn't help myself. Your car is one of my favorites on here. Brings back lots of memories when I was younger. That was a great era when there was so much talent with people expressing themselves with airbrush art. Another art that is mostly gone now days.

The Mexican comment is pretty far off. Not to downplay that art because they do some very complicated techniques but it's a different style altogether from the '60s '70s art that's on your car.

Congratulations, well deserved
