<VV> Car Display

[Dave Keillor]

If there were only one change I could make to the Corsa convention, it
would be to turn the car display into a full-fledged car show with
multiple classes that is held separate from the concours (e.g.,
Saturday).  Make it a judged show (to avoid the buddy-voting bias), but
to lower standards than the concours.  Get media coverage for the show
in the local media to increase the visibility of the Corvair. 

 

A real car show would add a big reason for me to attend the national.
Between my wife and I, we have several very nice (or soon to be very
nice) Corvairs, but have no interest in participating in the concours,
mostly because of the extraordinary amount of work needed to get a car
to a senior level and then keeping it there.  We drive our cars and
don't want to spend hours under the car at the convention getting it
ready for concours.  I suppose we could enter as-is, but where is the
fun of competing if there is no chance of winning (or at least doing
well)?  My impression of the concours is that some of the participants
seem to think it's Pebble Beach - I don't want Pebble Beach, just a fun
car show.
