BobT-47P15 Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) ............in "Convertible" class at the annual Maple Leaf Festival at Carthage, MO on the 18th of October. (Carthage is about 20 miles from Joplin). It's the largest show in our area, drawing around 600 cars if the weather is good --- which it was. Lots of nice rides to look at. Voting is by other participants in the show. I had to leave early due to my Saturday afternoon music gig.......so was not there for the trophy presentations. A friend told me via facebook I had won something, but didn't know what. There were a few other unclaimed trophies, which the committee sent to their local O'Reilly auto parts store to be picked up. When I stopped in there, they had not received them yet.....but said they would forward mine and one for a friend over to one of our O'Reilly stores. They finally arrived today (Thurs) so I picked them up. (My friends won first in a class for older vehicles with a Model T pickup they restored.) A 66 GTO convert won first in class and a 58 Chevy ragtop was third in my class. As usual, I had the only P15 there. It's always good to see that people like your car......so winning the occasional trophy isn't necessarily a bad thing.

busycoupe Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Congratulations! It's not often that a P15 bests the 50's Chevys and 60's Mustangs at a big show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
