Drive in display looks amazing!

Here's a beautiful poncho that was in the World of Wheels a few years ago.  It would look even better sitting at the drive in...

We had many many positive comments on the display, even from other clubs we're competing against.   Here's a couple photo's by a professional photographer up in the rafters:

At this point there is talk of setting it up at our annual All Pontiac Show and then re-using the pieces for a different display next year. It's all modular.

The All Pontiac Show in Calgary should be on June 19th. The plan is to have it on the Saturday before Father's Day.
This year, the old location is not available, so location is to be decided.

Alberta Iron Indians Club display won first prize first time out. We beat the Northern Mopars
who always win. Cash prize covers more than 50% of the cost of building it. LOL

Congratulations Rick and gang, your hard work paid off. Should set that up in a mall sometime, they'd probably pay you.
