Local small car show

[Crimson Pearl]

There is a small church less than a mile from my home that holds a little car show each June. It is done as a fund-raiser for their "Christmas Child" program. It's nothing fancy, just a little local type of event. They start at 0800 and break up about 1400, to avoid the worst of the heat and potential of afternoon thundershowers.

I took Crimson Pearl and I asked my brother to drive one of his 1932 Fords to the show.

I got there early, about 0730. It was going to be about 92 degrees today.

I set up my canopy and chairs. You can see the church in the background.

My brother arrived a little later and quite a few others had come in as well.

Here is picture of his 32 3-window coupe sitting next to Crimson Pearl.

And here is one other picture of some of the other vehicles, about 40 in total attending.

Those type of activities are so much fun to do! It is an added dimension to owning an XLR because most event coordinators want that type of novelty.
When I do a show I usually tell my family that I won "best in class" at these events because I am always the only XLR or the only white one. A bit of a running joke here.

Certainly forces you to get the car in clean and pristine condition. It also forced me to get better versed with the car in order to field all the spectator questions. It's a neat thing to do......

Of course the Pearl looked awesome as usual! Best in Class for sure!!!!
