Thanks for the photos Jack and congratulate Uncle Bob on his win for us please. If I was one of the judges with the difficult job of picking the top car, my vote would of gone to the '27 T Tudor, it has that WOW FACTOR but off course that is just my humble opinion.

Jack's a bit of a joker....................I won just what I deserved...........bupkus!

We had a pretty good turnout considering we had to change locations at practically the last minute. One of the things this group does is distribute "People's Choice" ballots for 10 entries per. The results, naturally, are based solely on what people value in an old car. That T sedan presented very well and was one of the 10 acknowledged. The car I thought was the "best" one there didn't even make the cut. But then I'm into subtle, which isn't often noticed by "the people". My favorite was a '62 Impala with big hoops, flawless black paint and bodywork, tasteful interior................it oozed detail in execution throughout. It's not the kind of car I would personally own, but the guys attention to detail was fantastic and the proportions were very nice. Fortunately this club doesn't play silly games where a mediocre car will "win" a trophy because the owner is "politically" connected within the group. It's just a nice, laid back group and event.

Hey Bob,I am glad that everything turned out OK. Yes I known what you are saying but I 'm glad that the T made top 10. Another car that I liked was the 5 window '36 as ,like you, I like the detail of the complete car and not so much as "who has the largest cheque book to buy the big,blown,shiny motor". I done think we have many 5 window coupes down here compared to the three window.('36). It sounds as if everybody had a good day so cheers both you and Jack for posting.

PS just looking through those photos again and two have me stumb on what make they may be... 1st is the mid 40's tudor that looks like from the GM family... 2nd is the redish coupe of about the same age and again from the GM family but both have different grilles and trim finishers on the front, and are they very rare even over there???

I'm a little unsure of which sedan you mean. If you're talking about the second picture from the top that's a '48 Plymouth. Not particularly uncommon. This one pictured is VERY nicely done.

The red coupe in the fourth picture is a '41 Pontiac, yes, not even common over here.

Bob,

Thanks for answering Whiplashs' question, I wasn't sure and couldn't remember from their window cards the years. Being partial to Pontiacs I was hoping to catch the owner of the 41 Pont. to find out if it was Pont. powered but wasn't able to catch him (or her).

Jack.

As Primised,

More pics.

Jack.
