I had a show this Saturday at the 4H Fairgrounds in Davisburg; I lifted my write-up from the Pontiac site for posting here:
Well, the rain managed to hold and we got the show in.
There were approximately 120 cars (and trucks), representing the Michigan Widetrackers, the Motor City Chapter of POCI, as well as several other clubs.

Here is the trophy for this year's "Van Seymore Award", provided by the Widetrackers in memory of my dad:
This year's winner was the fabulous '61 Catalina owned by Dennis and Mary Koss. This car was formerly owned (and the restoration financed by) Detroit rocker Bob Seger. Very tastefully done with a black and grey mild custom tri-tone interior, Vintage Air underdash A/C unit and '62 console. The car is said to contain Bob's cigarette ashes in the ash tray (...I suggested they should try to sell them on Ebay as "Bob Seger's Ashes"). This car was also chosen as "Best of Show" by popular vote.
The Koss's are the only "two time" winners of the award, having won previously in 2008 with their 1962 Catalina "Royal Bobcat" tribute.
Keith. Thx for sharing.
