Default Few pics from a car show

Just got back from a car show at Balise Chevy in Springfield, MA. Some nice cars. First pic is of mine. Just can't seem to snag an award and it's starting to mess me up
Beautiful day in the 70s, nice friendly people and a good selection of cars considering it's a pretty small show.

Thanks for sharing. Your Vette looks like a trophy winner to me.

How nice is that! What a little beauty. Like the landscape you have there as well.

Your 'Vette is beautiful. Don't give up on getting a trophy. It will come very soon.

Nice ride you have. Trophy or not, the important thing is to have a good time.

Thank you all for your support! My comment about a trophy is a little tongue in cheek (although I guess I must be a little despondent, lol) it's just a good friend got a trophy at Carlisle last year (and he did not let me forget it, ha, ha) and I want to show up this year with a bunch of them spread across my windshield. Looks like I might have to buy my own

The car itself is the trophy Rip. It's a beauty.

So that's where all the early ones are. I was wondering where they all went. Pics I got from our local show were heavy on late models.

They were all winner's in my book! C1's and C7's were the two biggest groups. I had the Shark Gray/Adrenaline Red interior next to the tent. We ended up with 91 cars, but we had space limitations that limited us to 100 vehicles, we are working on options to increase that in the future. Thanks for the support! We raised just short of $2,000 to benefit the Holyoke Soldiers' Home and the Springfield Federation for the Blind.

Thanks again,

Cool pics, OP. You've got a great looking C7.

Nice to see the C1s getting out getting driven, too.
