PROFILES
This year's show sported license plates from far and wide.
|
|
 
|
From Elliot Lake in
northern Ontario...
|
|
his 10 hour trip was rewarded with a trophy.
|
 
|
|
A beautiful "FIREbird" flew in on a Trans Am recently ...
from
Alberta.
|
|
|
|
From
Nova Scotia...
this truck hauled home 2 trophies.
|
|
 
|
From upstate
New York...
|
|
this fellow braved a heightened alert state when crossing the border and went
home with a trophy.
|
 
|
We had everything from daily drivers to trailered vehicles.
|
|
|
|
 
|
|
This fellow uses this truck everyday in his paving business.
|
 
|
|
 
|
|
|
|
|
 
|
This truck got a ride home.
|
We had high mileage and low mileage.
|
|
|
|
 
|
Would you believe 1.2 MILLION miles on this 1999?
I kid you not.
|
 
|
|
 
|
|
|
|
|
 
|
Only 18 miles on this 2005 mustang "restored" like the 1969 he owned as a
kid.
|
The talent of the judges ranked right up there.
|
|
 
|
|
|
|
 
|
|
 
|
|
This rat rod with its Lincoln V12 is the brain child of one of this year's
judges.
|
|
 
|
|
 
|
|
|
|
 
|
We saved the best for last.
PRESENTING
the
AUTOMOTION 2009 GRAND CHAMPION
-- and what a champion it is --
|
|
 
|
|
 
|
|
 
|
|
Wait 'til you see what's under wraps!
|
|
 
|
|
TaDaaa!
|
 
|
The trophy is taller than the car.
|
|
|
All this work - from restoring and modifying the body, to the upholstery, to
the paint, was done over a 3 year period by the owner himself, in his spare
time in his own garage. Talk about talent! He could quit his day job!
