I can't believe it! None of my other hotrods were ready for a car show, so I put some elbow grease into my '52 GMC Pick up and detailed it for the car show. I put a sign in it that explained that I bought it with an amateur restoration and it serves as daily driver status. There were about 270 cars registered, so when they began announcing winners, I walked off, thinking there were far too many beautiful and perfect entries to even notice my simple red truck. I had one of 5 GMC and Chevy truck entries and they were all much better than mine. One of them was even a perfectly restored original without modifications. The rest all had various V8's in them but were beautifully done anyway.
Well, I came back to the truck to leave at the end of the day and there was a trophy sitting in the driver's seat. I had won first place for 1954 and older. And that includes all the gorgeous older street rod cars that were entered too.
I still don't understand HOW I got a trophy, but maybe it's because it was a pretty red daily driver rather than a trailer queen. Anyway, the trophy is going to sit next to the plastic model of my truck on my desk.
So it's been a good weekend!
