- The show was sponsored by the George Washington Chapter of the
Modal A Ford Club of America. And yes there were plenty of
Model A Fords. Actually about 5 rows of Model A Fords, probably
over 50. Even though there were 4 classes for just A
Fords and 9 other Ford classes. I was placed in a Class 22 called
"Other vehicles thru 1931"

- The Ford folks seemed to really enjoy seeing other cars
besides the Model A's & T's.
- Our Class was given a position of honor amongst what seemed to
be a Ford Used Car lot circa. 1934. We were located in a shady
spot and placed perpendicular to the rows of Model A Fords.
- They put my Plymouth right behind this beautiful 1909 Buick
pictured on the left.

 |
- The old Plymouth was looking pretty spiffy and was certainly in
good company.
- Many of the folks who passed by uttered words like Oh!! Wow a
Plymouth. I had posted a sign on the side window that
mentioned some of the car's stock features like Hydraulic Brakes.
- Of course it didn't have Air Bags but it came equipped with two
Old Bags.
|
 |
- I have to admit there were some interesting old T's like
this 1919 pictured on the left. I believe this car was last
years 2006 Sully Staff Award.

- Most folks felt very protective of their cars but one older
gentlemen who had a nice 29 Model A .., which is definitely used
quite a lot, made a point to let people get behind the wheel and
take pictures if they wanted.
- Every young person that went by he put them behind the wheel
and explained how to drive this old car.
- He was having a great time and was definitely helping to create
the next generation of collectors. I am sure that a couple of
those kids walked away thinking " When I grow up I want to have a
car just like that one. " Well when I grow Up I want to be
just like that Guy, he may not win any car show awards but as
far as I am concerned he did more for the hobby that day then most.

There were 6 fields of cars which encompassed
everything from foreign sports cars to stock 60's muscle cars.

 |
- Ran into my Friend Rodney who took a trophy for his 1941
Studebaker.
Note: Jim Yergin you have to get your Woody finished by next
years show. We need more Plymouths in attendance. |

- All in all a Great Fathers Day
