Triangle Chapter Show Report May 4, 2019
By Denny Oestreich
The Triangle Chapter’s 58th Annual Car show was held at a new venue, the Capital Crossings Shopping Center in Raleigh. Riley Reiner was Car Show Chairman. There were 52 vehicles entered in the show with an even amount of original and modified vehicles. Twenty Triangle members brought their cars along with 5 NC Region members and 27 local entries. This was considered a low number of entries. We believe the lower turnout was due to reduced advertising, a new venue, and nine other local car show events within the Raleigh Area.
The weather was great for a car show. The car show parking, judging and hosting duties kept our members busy. Activities for the participants included looking at cars, a hospitality tent, a Take A-Part-T demonstration, Kids Judging, and shopping. We had six judging teams who completed their work efficiently. The kids judging led by Dan Fuccella had as many adults participating and watching as kids learning to judge.
Jim Gill had created Custom Trophy Plaques with a Barn Find theme. Each entrant received an award, either a First place or Acorn award. The award for the Best Original vehicle and Best of Show was presented to Sean Wright, 1936 Rolls Royce. The Best Modified award went Bing Long’s 1957 Ford Convertible and the Kids Choice award went to Joe Parsons’ 1958 Studebaker.
Thanks to all our members who contributed to make our shoe successful. We extend our appreciation to the NC Region members who participated in our show.
