Default Unexpected Trophy

I don't go to car shows to get trophies, but it's nice to bring one home. This is from the annual Made in The USA Car Show at the local Chevy dealer. I counted about a dozen C3's there and several that I thought would win over mine. All in all, a nice relaxing day with car friends.







Sadly, I didn't remember to take pics till most were gone.

Great looking car and well deserved trophy ...

Won my first one last year ....
The car clubs that attended sort of voted for each other ( lots of c-5 and c-6's)....
I didn't belong to any club but I tied with one other car and got a trophy for "Peoples Choice" ...
Maybe it isn't about the money spent after all ....
