Another finished 75 gets a award

#1

Post by Irishman1 »

After finally getting another one of my blue 75’s off the rack this spring(another 75 here on the forum) I entered the local hot rod show, the first show since 2019. This blue won best vintage restoration and peoples choice. It will be on the shows advertisement for next year as well as a picture if it on the trophy and also on the shirts and sweatshirts they sell next year.

Getting plaques/trophys is nice, but being on their literature for next year is great! A friend had his '57 Pontiac selected for that honor years ago at the Pigeon Forge Rod Run.
Also, People's Choice going to a restored Honda instead of the HD with the most chrome is very rare.
