My son Kurt’s 68 Bullitt Mustang was invited to theBloomsburg TV and Movie car display put on by Carlisle Events and as I havefamily not far from Bloomsburg PA, my wife and I took Kurt’s car up for theweekend and had a great time! As one of about 25 invited guests we were askedto pick one car out of about 600 for a Celebrity Choice plaque. We were told itwas a coveted award and I thought it was just another car show plaque. Well itis a big deal to the locals as we found out! I have been asked at a few showsto pick a winner and I always look for the best car/owner/story most likely notto win a trophy. This would be the car that looks nice but not a show car, orlooks great but has 4 doors, or a low production, low HP car.
After checking all the car out we started to just focuson the underdog cars and their owners and we picked an original owner 1974Dodge Charger with 66,000 miles and 1 repaint. The owner fell in love withChargers when he saw the movie Bullitt and when he could afford a new car heordered a triple black Charger in the fall of 1973.
Well when we told him we were one of the so called Celebrity’sand we picked his car for the award he was so thrilled as he said he only goesto one show a year and never wins anything. When I put the 2”x 2” CelebrityChoice decal on his windshield that the show uses to confirm the car is a winnereveryone that walked by and saw it stop to congratulated him. That was the bestpart of the trip for me!
Thanks
