Showcase Classics Car & Bike Show – 07/16/17

This past Sunday, 07/16/17, I attended the Showcase Classics Car & Bike show held on Grand Blvd in Brookfield, IL.  It was a beautiful day for a car show! It was in the mid 70’s, slightly overcast, and a nice breezed was present all day long.  Not a bad way to spend a Sunday!

In my spot! Kind of fitting being put in front of a thrift shop!

 

Vintage attache case secured to the steering wheel. Wouldn’t want anyone taking my harmonica and yankee screwdriver!
Special thanks to Lloyd’s Service Station for the “free” wiper refills and belts.

When I built the Bluesmobile, I went into the project knowing that my car wasn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea, and that more likely than not I would not be winning any trophies for my car.

I registered the car like I do at all shows, but I was surprised to find a category for Rat Rods/Beaters/Unfinished.  Hadn’t seen that category before at the few shows I have attended!

Well, what the hell.  My car certainly falls into that group so I went with it!

To my surprise, I scored a total of 96.78 points out of a possible 100 total points!

Which was good enough to place 1st Place in my class!

Totally made my day!  What a wonderful surprise.  I was on cloud nine the whole way home!

Hope you enjoyed the pics!
