Thread: Show Car or Driver?

Tweet

I know what it is like to start with a nice car and then go over board to the point it is always on the trailer and it goes back in the garage to a cover. That is what I did with my Vette. The last 3 years I had it I put a total of 142 miles on it.
It got to be a job going to shows and running for points. I had fun at first but after you win what you wanted then it is no longer fun. Then you get to a point where you need to keep making changes from year to year to get the public and the judges to keep scoring you.
With my '32 it is a nice car I have about $40 in it plus my labor and it also helps tha the job I have I meet many people and score a ton of freebies or I would have more. But I knew I was driving this when I can. Last year drove to Syracuse in the pooring rain 300 miles each way. It was a LONG ride but it was a fun ride just the same. Now it is not an every day driver but I did put on 3000 miles in 1.5 years and still able to win at regional shows and even have done well at the large shows.
Just takes time and effort to clean it up.
Here are pictures of my Vette and the '32 when I got to syracuse.....dirty and nasty but cleaned up well enough to get chosen
