Forsyth Chamber of Commerce Annual Spring Classic Car Show

Even though the car show was fighting against Sucker Days in Nixa which had over 150 cars show up and Catfish Days in Harrison which they had over 300 cars show up, I feel that we did very well mainly because of the caliber of the cars that showed up. We had a few un-restored classics as well as a bunch of custom and restored vehicles as well.

My thanks goes out to Billy B, his wife Donna, Pete the President of the Chamber and all of those who worked very hard on putting together this show it was great!

Here is our booth setup with T-Mac at the table and Phil with his WHITE as WHITE can be stick figure legs in front

Since I was taking the pictures I had Phil stand by my little stang

Never let someone play with your camera and not watch them closely. That's Preston sitting next to me with the O-U hat

This Chevelle is a friend of member Jeff Koutz and came all the way up from Mountain Home and 3rd place in class 6

Pete Frantzen's 1st Place Jeep grand Wagoneer

I am a MAJOR Camaro fan and this 1968 was one of the best I have seen in years

As was this fantastic retractable hardtop very very rare

A fine example of classic hot rodding

An un-restored mach1

This gentleman came down from Nebraska with this 1982 Chevy. believe it or not this used to be a 4 wheel drive vehicle

Had to get a close up of the real flame paint work....awesome

I don't know the name of the owner of this Nova but I really want to shake his hand on the excellent body and paint work on the car. It is straight as an arrow and smooth as can be

This is Larry Reynolds 1937 Chevy, believe it or not he finished it up just before the cruise on Friday night and took second at the show

The gentleman that owns this little Suzuki not only took 1st place in the Special interest class but the longest distance trophy as well, all the way from Pennsylvania. Oh and he is a friend of Billy B's

This is the class 12 winner Sponsored by our club

This one really caught my eye because of how rare it is. It's a 1970 Ford Torino 429 CJ "Twister" I have only seen these cars in magazines

Here is the Best in Show winner and these photo's do not give the paint work any justice at all. It is Candy Apple over silver and as slick and smooth as a baby's bottom

The color is so deep and rich it is actually very hard to explain unless you see it for yourself. A lot of work went into massaging this body
