Back in June while at the Fleetwood Cruize-in I was introduced by Steve Plunkett, to Rob McLeese who is the Chairman of the Cobble Beach Concourse. He was very interested in my 58 Pontiac and after looking it over very carefully asked me if I would like to enter it in this years show. I was honoured to be asked and of course accepted. This past weekend I did attend the event and was blown away how well this high end show was run. Every little detail was taken care of with lots of staff and volunteers on hand to help you in any way. In my class the competition was extremely tough as all the other five vehicles had been restored within the past two years where as mine was restored back in 1976 -1982! However when it came time for the judges to look over the car guess they felt it was still in excellent condition as I was awarded with a third place ribbon which just happened to be green that matches my car!
