Come Rain or Shine, Carry On!
Our annual JCNA CONCOURS ‘d Elegance at the Muckenthaler Cultural Center is history and it was a terrific event, especially with the dribbling English rain adding authenticity to the event. 30 cars showed up all in their wonderful gleaming and perfectly restored paint jobs, bright chrome, supple leather, and proud owners. As usual, Charlie Hallums had registration well in hand and everything went as planned, judging went smoothly, Anne Murphy did her usual calculating best, CLASSIC SHOWCASE were the CONCOURS TROPHY SPONSORS, and our newest member Vladimir Lange received a Best in Class award from the Muckenthaler Car Show. There were four 100-point cars, 2 XJ8’s (350) and 1 XJ12 (Series 3), wow, these cars were that good, even after driving in the rain to the event. Thank you to all of those members that attended and too bad to those who did not show, the rain was more like dribble and we were bathed in glorious sunshine in the afternoon.
