This was a great concours. I was a judge in it and the cars were  
everything from
trailer queens to unrestored originals. A 20's Marmon, Model A  
Duesenberg,
Delahaye's plus Corvette's, MG's, Durant, Jordan Playboy's.
My only complaint was the heat, especially if you had to judge cars in a
coat and tie.... Of course they did have beer which made up for quite  
a bit.
The $15 entry fee isn't extravagant.
