Wrapping up the May car shows

     Attended a small, local show on Sat. and there were more trophies than cars; about 30 cars.  Needless to say, everyone got a trophy.  Threatening weather will ruin a car show.  Several of the Road Rodz club members cruised the 50 miles to Turk Lake, north of Greenville to their 19th annual car show.  Again, the weather forecast was a bit iffy and the day was quite warm and humid but the car turnout was great.  158 cars showed up on a holiday weekend.  The Road Rodz had 9 cars in attendance and all of us garnered a top 75 trophy.  Here's the gang:

Norm, on the far left is holding 2 trophies as he had two cars in attendance.  As we were leaving to get ahead of dark skies, Ken was camera ready as we make our exit from the show parking lot.  Here's a nice shot he captured as the 41 heads down the road.

     The old girl gets a lotta looks at the shows with many comments on how cool it is to see an inline 6 still nestled under the hood.  The winter upgrades have proven to be worth the time, effort and money as the 41 is a real pleasure to drive.  Every change has worked flawlessly.  I have three more upgrades to complete this year (hopefully).  I plan to carpet the trunk area, replace the windshield and get the chipped paint on the front fenders and hood fixed. 
     This past Friday evening, the wife and I cruised to some friends' house and the four of us took the 41 for a ride before stopping at a nice Italian restaurant for dinner.  You can't do that with a hot rod coupe!  The sedan has room for 4 and everyone has plenty of room. 
     Big weekend coming up June 2 & 3.  The 2nd is a big local show and Sun, the 3rd is the Hot Rod Magazine Power Tour stop in Muskegon, Mi.  We did the Muskegon event last year and I'm looking forward to this year's show.  Great cars and lots of 'em!
