[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 17034684, member: 70025"] Hello Everyone, Went to an all Fords car show on Saturday. It was held at the local Casino. Took the 65 out to have some fun and see how I would fare against the local Fords. Overall it was a great time. A bunch of people were checking my 65 out, asking me questions and providing very positive feedback. It was a little warmer than I would like and it lasted a little longer than I liked, but overall a good show and turn out. This event was put together by the local Mustang Club. It was sponsored by various local businesses and the local Mustang Club provided all the bodies (i.e. parking staff, set up/tear down personnel, registration personnel and, wait for it, the judges). In the end, I didn't win S#!T LMAO!!!! However, as the prizes are being handed out I noticed a bunch of Mustang Club members, who were wearing the lime green "Event Staff" shirts, were going up to collect their trophies. Favoritism/Buddy system at it's finest in my opinion. BTW, the club justified the judging by saying if a club member has a car in first generation Mustang they cannot judge that category. However, they know all their buddies in the other categories.. What sense does that make? Oh well, I had fun, I just hate this political BS that seems to be in every part of life now. Here are some pictures and you guys can be the judge. My car at the show. [ATTACH type="full"]1836875[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]1836876[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]1836877[/ATTACH] This is the car that won best first generation Mustang (My category). Yes he's a club member who was working at the show. Oh remember that silver LX next to it for later...... [ATTACH type="full"]1836878[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]1836879[/ATTACH] This car won second place first generation Mustang. I didn't take a picture of third place, but it was another 67 fast back that looked similar to this car, but was blue. [ATTACH type="full"]1836880[/ATTACH] This 1970 or 71 Torino won first place in the general Fords category (other than Mustang). Guy is a club member and worked the show. This guy also won best paint AND peoples choice award. Now, I think my paint is just as good if not a little better. However, this car is beautiful and I can understand if the paint and body judges picked this over mine. No issues with me at all. [ATTACH type="full"]1836881[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]1836882[/ATTACH] There were different categories, obviously.
