Well, it was a most beautiful day - sunshine and bright blue skies, with about 200 cars enjoying the day. I got parked in between a Barracuda and a Chevy and initially wasn't very pleased. It turned out to be a good thing, because everyone noticed the 'oldie' in between the newer cars and I spent the morning telling people about the history of the Dodge. Shaw TV reporter, Emily Laing, came over to chat with me, then asked if she could do an interview. She called over her camera operator and voila! We talked and played with the car for about 1/2 hour. I'm sure when it gets on TV it will only be a few minutes, but was pleased that Emily had singled the Dodge out to do her story.
As you can see behind the cars there was a lineup - this was not to view my car or watch the interview, it was to get a chance to have their picture taken with Hulk Hogan. He and a group of ex-wrestlers were to appear at the Red Robinson Theatre in the evening. Of course, the crowd went wild when he showed up with his entourage.
I was there for the cars though, and I found a wonderful 1938 Dodge Coupe that has only been on the road for 2 years. Janine is the owner and came over to take pictures of various things on my car, as well as ask lots of questions. We exchanged information and probably will keep in touch. It's always nice to meet another Dodge person, and especially if its a female.
There were 8 of us from the Golden Ears Chapter of the VCCC in attendance, we didn't win the 50/50, some won in the Casino, but Jim Smith with his 1925 Chevy Touring Car took away the Community Choice Award.
It was another great day filled with super cars and friendly people. See you on the road!
