Thank you to Brian for the recognition and to all of you for the congratulations. I have just come home from 4 days in Boca, my old stomping grounds. I was accepted into this years Concours show in the Preservation class. I was one of 5 cars and received an "Excellence in Class" award, the winner being a 70 Eldorado with a repaint???? Don't understand that one, anyhow, as Brian mentioned I received Jay Lenos' Big Dog award which is a gorgeous Tiffany Glass bowl with etching on both sides.
He told me it was a big chocolate. I got a chance to speak with him for awhile, you could tell he had an affinity for the car, it was special to him I guess because he had one in high school. Overall, the show was nothing like I have ever experienced before. The rarity of some of the cars was unimaginable. Just to name a few,
1967 Camaro Z-28----0ne of 602 Z's for the 67 year.
1964 Mustang pace car, the owner had pics of Edsel Ford in the car on the day of the Indianapolis 500 in 1964. This was THE first car made available to the public, number 241, the rest were all prototypes or show cars.
Anyhow, the list goes on and on. I am still on cloud 9, one of the most memorable experiences of my life, for sure.
