Default Coolest Car Show Trophies

Let's see them.

This trophy is from my dad's '58. He won dozens but this one is by far my favorite (the Top Flight ribbon is pretty cool too).

I gave all my 61 trophies to the new owner except for this one...I just had to keep it!

Its one of 5, original finish, matching numbers, and one owner....they are rare BB parts according to ProTeam.

All way better than anything seen in the NE, but perhaps I don't get out enough.

This is the only trophy that maters to me.
I did all the work except for spraying on the paint.
