Out here most shows are "Rod" shows...typically,only a couple Vettes go...never seen a vette trophy at these metal car events...so I just sit back and Z out in the sun...this was yesterday at a auto swap meet/car show...



The yellow vette was for sale...$8000...had three offers on my 69 even though I marked the show card "not for sale"...no sale on the yellow one...

Congratulations. Judging from the picture it was well deserved.
It's nice when others appreciate the time and effort we put into our cars.
I'm sure you are deservedly proud.
