It was an amazing gathering. The Michigan Region really out did themselves. The private collections we saw were awesome, and the display for CCCA judging was second to none.
Our final Awards Banquet was held at the Detroit Athletic Club, which is the place where the moguls of US automotive history used to make back room deals. What a location! Absolutely splendid. Even the food was some of the best I've ever had in a banquet situation.
Every year the Club presents the Warshawsky Award. It is our "best of show" trophy, and is only presented at the Annual Meeting. This year's winner was a 1930 Weymann bodied Stutz SV-16. For those not familiar with this car, the body is covered with leather, rather than sheet metal and paint. It is very spectacular, and this restoration was superb.
This is always a tough award to figure out. I'm glad I didn't have to be part of that process this year. It would have been very difficult. There were so many great cars to choose from.
Michigan has raised the Annual Meeting bar to a new level. A great time was had by all.
As a relatively new CCCA member, I thoroughly enjoyed attending my first Annual Meeting and showing my car (1927 Springfield Rolls Royce). It was a wonderful event and I am looking forward to next year's in St. Louis!-Guy Zaninovich
I sure wish I could have gone this year. But next years venue is attainable. Hope to see you all there!
