All I can say is WOW!

     After a very busy weekend with car shows, I'm still stunned by the results of the 31st annual Charlton Park Father's Day Show.  The Road Rodz had 5 members present with 6 cars; Jim Banfill had his brother drive one of his cars as Jim was looking to sell the car.  Of those 5 members, 4 of us were voted Top 25 plaques!  This is one of the year's largest shows annually and to received recognition from your peers as a Top car is pretty special.
     Besides the Charlton Park show on Sunday, I attended a gathering of local cars at an Assisted Living Center in Byron Center.  Several patients came out with walkers or assisted in wheel chairs to check out well over 100 cars that turned out.  We were packed in like sardines and the organizing group began turning away cars after 6pm as there was no more room!
     Saturday was another show north of Grand Rapids in Sparta.  The show was sponsored by the Sparta Moose Lodge and was held on the edge of their golf course.  With an all you can eat breakfast and pulled pork bbq for lunch, this was a very nice show.  About 125 cars entered the show and the voting was done on a class basis with plaques being awarded to the top two cars in each class.  The 41 was the only entry in the 41 and later Street Rod class so I got the 1st place plaque. 
     I took too many pictures at all three shows to put on this blog but here's some of the better cars.  First the Friday night show.
