ggdad1951 Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 well kids, I applied and was accepted to the local Concours show. FEF will be on of 20 vehicles in his class. I'll make sure to post pictures after the show this Sunday. I have to leave my house at 4AM to get to my load in time...erf! Funny thing is I bet I'll be one of the few that actually DRIVE to the show (lots of worry about "rig parking" in the literature)! Wish me luck, my first official judging! 7 Quote
Young Ed Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 post some more info for us locals. I might cruise over with the jalopy Quote
Brent B3B Posted July 25, 2017 Report Posted July 25, 2017 NICE! good luck indeed break out those 50's shorts and flip flops! "The top three participants who choose to wear period clothing reflecting the era of their car, boat or motorcycle will win a prize" 1 Quote
John-T-53 Posted July 25, 2017 Report Posted July 25, 2017 First ever B series Dodge in a Concours? Make sure the underside of your dizzy cap is clean, also no rocks in the tire treads, lol! Good luck bro! Quote

I'll clean the engine compartment regardless, but I AM driving about 1.5 hours to get there... Quote
Todd B Posted July 26, 2017 Report Posted July 26, 2017 You would think you should get extra points for driving it there instead of trailering. 1 Quote
Dennis_MN Posted July 27, 2017 Report Posted July 27, 2017 I'd come to visit but they charge $25 per person for looking Quote

Or going to the Dr. for a physical and only paying the co pay. LOL Quote
Dennis_MN Posted July 30, 2017 Report Posted July 30, 2017 Well, your truck made the Channel 5 news at 5:30 PM, ok not the entire truck, but a very close up of the Rams head hood ornament and the Dodge Letters on the side of the hood, and the Red back ground for both shots. Hope you were awarded better for your efforts. Dennis Quote
plyroadking Posted July 30, 2017 Report Posted July 30, 2017 My wife and I were in the area but I used up all my vehicle credits making the run up there for a transmission. Maybe next year we'll make it to the show. Quote

Mlindblom Posted July 31, 2017 Report Posted July 31, 2017 The hood ornament is at About 15 seconds into to video. http://kstp.com/news/historic-cars-10000-lakes-concours-delegance-helps-nonprofit-bridgings/4558496/?cat=1 1 Quote

And why didn't you bring me that 55 Stumbled upon an overdrive transmission up there. I sold the 55 several months ago and replaced it with a 50 dodge. Thought about hitting you up but we only went to Hastings to meet the guy with the trans at the power show at the little log house place. Quote
Young Ed Posted July 31, 2017 Report Posted July 31, 2017 we went to the hastings car show sat too! didn't know about the log cabin show though Quote
Young Ed Posted July 31, 2017 Report Posted July 31, 2017 So how did FEF do??? Can't handle much more suspense! Quote
ggdad1951 Posted July 31, 2017 Author Report Posted July 31, 2017 Sadly I did not place. The Pontiac next to me took first in class. Oddly the guy lives less than a mile from my house! Second place went to a blue 54 or so Chebby truck. All the vehilces there were wll done. Judging was odd, 30-45 seconds max at each vehicle, a quick walkaround and an opinion formed and moved on...really odd judging the "style" and "elegance" of a vehicle. meanwhile some pictures of some MoPaR things I saw.... 1 Quote
