Our own Phil's car is in the newest AACA magazine. Not a feature but it's there. Congrats!!

Thanks, Doug. Feature article is coming later. West is an amazing photographer. He can really bring out the best of your car. It was fun to watch him work.

Sorry, when the article comes out in Antique Automobile, I may be able to get the pics then. West Peterson, the editor, made the pictures.

Been so long since I've posted any pictures...

This came out of the blue this past weekend. The local editor who set up the shoot for Antique Automobile sent me this picture. I didn't even realize he was making pictures, as well. His name is Jerry Clemmons. He and West do work together from time to time. And yes, Jerry says I cannot get the pictures from the article until the magazince publishes it. I have no idea when that will happend...

BTW, for any non AACA folks, most of those emblems on the grille are related to the fact that my 68 is a driver/touring car. Left to right, Mileage Award (I've put close to 20k miles on it in the last ten years.), NC Region Redbird Award (The closest thing to ever have this car point judged), and AACA Driver Paticipation Certification (which is how I show at AACA National meets: the car is evaluated not point judged). The blue sticker on the windshield is a 1968 NC inspection sticker.

And that explains why there is going to be an article on this car in Antique Automobile. West is trying to balance out the show queen cars with cars that are actually driven.

Phil, I love trailer queens but my heart is in cars that are driven. Your car looks good, deserves to be recognized. See you at Hershey? You do know things will change drastically after this year?

True, I love nice restorations, as well. There was a zero deduction 69 Camaro SS at Charlotte this Spring, and I made a point of talking with the owner about his car's restoration.
Yes, I will be at Hershey. Hope things get better and better.
