A couple of years ago at the Linwood, Michigan Pickle Festival I took 3rd place with my '29 Tub. I recieved a plastic trophy and a jar of pickles. I was thrilled, I LOVE pickles! Sorry, can't show 'em to ya.
<font color="green">The only trophy I ever recieved was the "Built for Speed" award at Dewey '03. Then I shelled out the rear end on the way home. </font>
I got a gallon of hair grease from Rob's Chop Shop at VLV 2000, runner up long distance award. I think I shoulda won but the Canuck cheated. I also got "Under Construction" at the 2001 GG event for The Packford. I got 3rd at The Horse Old School Chopper show at bike week this year.
. I won the lifter toss way back when. When we actually participated at rod runs. I won a top 35 trophy once....There were 27 cars.
I never had a car that won awards until I got my current Buick LeSabre. Just got the coolest one at the Grease Ball over the weekend. Its a flat black bowling pin thats been striped and lettered "Best Kustom". The next day I got another trophy "Best of the Best" at a local show. This one has a little surfer dude on it. Go figure.

........we got a "Celebrity Pick" from a big shot from Damiler Chrysler at Chryslers at Carlisle a couple years ago. (won't tell you what car it was with)
At the '04 Frankenmuth Autofest, I won the 'Go Long' award for the longest shifter. I got a big 'ol beer stein. I don't drink so I keep hand cleaner in it! The best part of the weekend was Sun. morning watching "Boyd Row" as we called it pack up early and leave 'cuz they didn't win anything!!! Ha ha ha ha!!!!!
A few guy's from our club and myself went to a charity event in Buffalo last year.. This wasn't even a judged gig, just a big garage party.. Anyway, the 'head honcho' made 4 trophy's for cars he liked. It was a wood base with screw's as legs..and on top was a Child's & Albert's aluminum rod.. My truck and another club member, John, with his '34 coupe both got one.. Probably the coolest award i've gotten.. Tony.
Red 62 Chevy Impala. Jonesboro, Ark, 2002 Best of Show Unique, Etched curved glass, about 1/2 inxh thick Picture is poor.
I've got four that mean something to me - The first class win from 1964 (O/Stock) My first (only) Top Eliminator trophy from the Cincy Hot Rod Drags in 1993 A Best Nostalgia award that is a copy of Alex Xydias' movie, The Hot Rod Story. Goodguys Memory Lane award from the 1996 March Meet that (I was told) Pappy Hart selected. It's cool just because it has Famoso on it. Mutt
I don't usually enter my car in shows because I don't consider it a show car but rather a daily driver.If I do happen to enter a show,I usually leave before the trophies are given out. At this show I couldn't leave early because we were doing an artwork auction to benefit a local charity.This trophy means more to me than any that I have ever received;and it was presented to me by Ed Roth's widow.Thanks again Ilene.

Got best unfinished a few years ago....Gave it back as "My pickup has been finished for years"...........OLDBEET
The Chupas gave the Buick the 'Low Buck' award at Pistons-n-Paint '03... buncha knuckleheads! Easily my most favorite trophy ever.
The second best award was the trophy I got from the Deadtown8 at Pistons and Paint, the Shawn Howard Award. The trophy itself is... uhhh...well..., let's call it interesting No, actually it's pretty cool. Just don't look under the hula skirt. Monkey was there. Talk about a cool honor. Doubt I'll top it as far as car awards go. I found a good spot with my other car stuff, in my office at home. I'm still waiting for my diploma from the Barnett School of Fotography.
Here's a closer look. Cool striping, some flake, and the "7 standing" is real powerful when you know how these guys feel about Shawn. Thanks again to those guys for the honor. Oh, and the best "award" will always be my wedding ring.
