Default Maybe Last Good Car Show.
The weather was fantastic...if not a bit hot. I really hope this is not the last great weekend for a car show. It was very nice to have a local show devoted to cars no older than '80 or so so no one was competing against a NEW showroom perfect C6 or something.

I got lots of pictures but these were some of my favorites.

Oh, and Curt got a 1st place trophy. His engine score was 99.8 out of 100. I didn't have mine judged...for obvious reasons.

Congrats Curt.

Its really kind of neat to have the National Nature of the forum so apparent. In Palm Springs we just had our first cruise night of the (new) year last Saturday..and there is a show about every other weekend culminating in the Dr George Show which will get close to 1000 cars this year! the desert is really the place for off season car using with a dry heat that peaks at 85 and evenings at a low of 60 most of the year.. Is this place perfect or what

Looks like a great time DB! We have a few fall shows coming up and hope to make at least one of them before the show season's over.
Lots of nice cars there.
