Woohoo! Way to go! Hubby would be sooooooo jealous. He had a 1969 SS Chevelle 396 convertible that he showed a few times. He never won anything though. We finally got rid of it back in 1985 because he couldn't buy gas for it and we needed the money. He still gets teary eyed when he thinks about that car. If I had to do it all over again, I never would've let him sell it.

Good evening y'all. I hope everyone's had a restful Sunday.

OUCH!! I can understand it hurting to think about that Chevelle! We have several friends who have sold cars in the past and regret it now.

We don't drive The Beast a whole lot because it's such a gas hog - LOL - but always enjoy getting it out for shows. That's the main reason I got us involved in showing it. Otherwise, it would just sit in the garage, gathering dust, and that car needs to get out and run....and be seen. That's what I enjoy most about the car shows.....watching the people walk around it and admire it. They just don't make them like that anymore.

We've come home from several shows without a trophy but we never mind that. Just getting it out for a while is what it's all about.
