Doesnt sound like it was a good trip! I made our reservations for Philly and Charlotte while i was doing this plus already have rooms for Auburn so we are set for a while. See ya there

Snowy day here in Virginia, not much to do so i thought I would make some reservations for the up coming show season. The host hotel for the Winter meet is full for Friday night, they do have a few rooms remaining for Thursday of Saturday nights but not wanting to have to move I checked the alternate hotel and was able to get rooms. This is the La Quinta which is right there near the host hotel. Better make your reservations if you plan to go

Congratulations on your award, You have just recieved one of the highest awards given by AACA. By all means attend the Annual Meeting and Banquet. You and your guest could dress "period correct" , you can wear a tux or a nice suit and tie is fine. The silver platters gave way to crystal awards about 15 or more years ago. Bottom line, be there cause they gonna roll out the red carpet for you....literary

Great report Mark, thank you and thanks to the Roanoke Region for planning and hosting such a meet. Sorry Debbie and I could not be there.

Officially its a Sport Coupe

After a car recieves its Sr. Award from AACA the car will recieve a Preservation Award provided it is maintained in show condition. This car was awarded its Sr. in 1988 then used for touring then in 2017 we took it to the AACA National Meet in Huntington, WV where it was given a Preservation Award, this was to show that the car is still great condition.

Still available

In years past the show field has dried out quickly and it did this year, the problem this year was it rained right up until time to get on the showfield. I was on Ave. 11, driving in was fine until i turned onto Ave 11, even then i was ok until someone walked in front of me and i had to stop for them, lost my momentum and started spinning. Almost got stuck and I am still trying to get the mud and grass from under my car.

Yep, i dont watch much TV but i look forward to seeing this show. As for that Model A, hindsight is 20-20, Next time i decide i want to get a Preservation with it, I think I'll call up to Headquarters and see what your schedule is before i enter it.

10,000 comedians out of work and you still try'n to be one! Seriously, next week should be really good, supposed to be about Ray Hendrick and the flying number 11 modified. Ray was a good friend and a modified legend.

Watched two episodes, good shows

Where is this church? Im a member of St. Ann's Catholic Church but its not this one! I doubt i could convince anyone at my church to have a car show

Im late to this discussion bur Ive had plenty of experience with Port A Walls when i was a teenager working at the local Texaco station in the early 60's. I wouldnt put them on a wheel borrow! Wore my thumbs out trying to push them down on the rim and get the puckers out only to have them pucker up on the opposite side of the wheel.

Zip has a website for ordering parts and they list thier contacts but i doubt they list any cars for sale on it. I was in there last Saturday and the 57 was setting in the show room. If you called i would ask to speak to Andy

I have enjoyed reading this thread, I've been showing at AACA National Meets now for a little over 25 years and have been fortunate in the awards dept., AACA has been very good to me, I have never been to a conqours event but thats about to change as my car was accepted in the Hemmings Conqours Event at Lake George, NY. Im really looking forward to it, hope i'm not disappointed !
