Any of you had your car judged down for dirty screw
holes? Well I have! Sounds a bit off color, doesn't it?
There are some cars judged down for incorrect cloth. If
I ever get around to re-upholstering my '56 Belvedere, that's a quandary I'll
have to face, because the original cloth just ain't that good. Why spend a
lot of money for upholstery that will only last a few years?
Went to the elephant garlic festival and car show weekend
before last. [TIP= Don't get garlic ice cream!] People's choice, of course
the shiniest cars won, BUT several people liked my '56 Plymouth, one was a young
guy [in his 30's] who was very knowledgeable about the car. So I agree, it
feels good to be out, even if you don't win.

You mean to say that because the tribunal of boobs did
not give you some landfill material that you did not win ? I'd say you won
BIG by this statement :
" ... BUT several people liked my '56
Plymouth, one was a young guy [in his 30's] who was very knowledgeable about the
car.... "
That beats a trophy any day of the week.
