Our biggest local car show failed

The older cars are drawings less of a crowd the people that wanted them and enjoyed them are dying off

At a judged show the judges look at different things than people's choice, but in the end it still up to the persons perspective.

I use to really want a trophy but that changed when I had a room full and now if I get anything would like wall plaques, they stack better in boxes........LOL

BUT I have been at a show where they gave 3 trophies, it was a fund raiser for children's hospital in Indianapolis. 50-75 beautiful cars and a few that were not so nice

The judges, kids from the hospital, my Prowler was still fairly fresh and looking its best. I figured it is always a favorite of the kids, well I went home empty handed. One of the kids picked a 76 trans am with a different color fender and another picked a fox body mustang that had been wrecked and stuff in primer. But that was their picks, what they liked, I was ok with that.

What I didn't care for was taking my 1981 Imperial to Mopar nationals and getting 2nd place to a 78 or 79 fury maybe cop car. The judges walked right past my all original 13,000 mile car at the time to say, I always wanted one of those. So even judges shows aren't what you expect sometimes.

Seeing the old cars are enjoyable to me even if I don't have interest in owning still appreciate the effort to restore and show one.

Everything runs in cycles, ours will end too

Enjoy your car for yourself, share with those that appreciate and when it is no longer fun put it away for your relatives to decide what to do or sell it to a person that will enjoy it some.

People choice isn't always about the best, sometimes it is who has the most friends at a show.
