Took the two B-59 convertibles and the 67 Pontiac to the AACA Spring National Meet today. It had rained like hell all week and the grassy field was pretty soggy. Cars were getting stuck in the mud here and there. We were lucky and got parked on a high well drained area. It turned out to be a nice sunny day and fun was had by all!

Those two '59's look really sharp together

You can't condemn the bad if you don't commend the good

Nice pics, espcially the one in the driveway

The event was 10 minutes from here so I went over to check out the awards presentation.

The white car scored AACA National First Prize (First Junior).

The red car scored AACA Senior Award.

All in all not a bad day.....

Congrats Greg, did you get a chance to meet up with my buddy Danny?

Nice cars and nice job by ever who restored them.Looks like it was a great day for the show.

First a junior award at Hershey October '08, then the senior today with the red car. I told Grg today that we need to go for the turbo grand high exalted mystic ruler award next.

A good day for Cook's Restorations!

Ross, I didn't meet up with your friend. I had my cell phone turned on but since I never carry it I'm not accustomed to listening for it to ring. Maybe it rang and I thought it was someone else's.....

Congratulations to both of again.
I just noticed, it the pictures with th port a potties, theres a Prowler parked next to them. A fitting place to display that car. A friend of mine owned one and I always told him its just an Intrepid without fenders

Greg, he said he never even tried.

Delayed unloading because of mud, then unloaded, cleaned up the car, then they put hay down and he got covered with hay dust and had to clean again.

(FWIW if there is hay in Carlisle, the hay will stay on my 70, I am way lazier)

He got his senior though, so he was happy.

Perfect. Great looking day too.

Been a while since I saw that Big Poncho.

That's cool, Ross, we'll see you on Friday. We're going to get there about noon and set up camp for a cookout and stuff.

Tom, glad you mentioned the Pontiac! Crap, almost forgot about that one. It had previously gotten First Junior (National First Prize), Senior Award, and now on Saturday it got the Preservation Award.

That's the first time I scored an AACA Trifecta! First Junior, Senior, and Preservation all in one day.

Joe says he will show the red car at the Grand National show next summer so that will be another service stripe. If it wins......
