Our biggest local car show failed

Years ago, the old Slant Six Club of America meets recognized "prize winners" with a hand written certificate. No serious money invested and no hard feelings. I really enjoyed those meets where the purpose was getting to visit with people and enjoy the cars, not spend half the show dusting and polishing. In recent years, I might pay the entrance fee, but don't bother to put the form on the windshield. Mostly I just quit attending because of the issues that always seem to arise.

I have boxes of overpriced plaques and trophies in storage that were awarded with good intentions but mean less to me than a few minutes of talking to someone who likes my Mopars enough to ask questions and share thoughts.
