We were invited to show both Papa Smurf and Huey at the Cars on Kiawah peoples choice car show. Located on the beautiful Ocean Park in Kiawah Island, SC, it attracted over 240 cars with everything ranging from Model A’s (18 of them!!) to new McLarens, RESTO-mods, German, Italian, French, British, and a few Japanese... new and old cars. Plus, there was a Race Cars special group.
Dennis Gage was there shooting an episode for My Classic Car.
18 Race Cars were on display. Among them was a Gulf liveried GT40, an older car that raced and won The Great Race rally, a few pre-war era Bugatti’s, a Pro-Mod drag racer, a handful of Porsche’s, a custom one-off car from the 60’s that was very cool, a few other misc race/drag cars.....plus Papa Smurf and Huey.
Papa was registered under my name, Huey for Nadine. Toward the end of the show, these official looking people in proper southern gentleman sport jacket, white pants and plantation hats came over and ask “are you Nadine and is this your car?” When she said YES, they said “we need you to take the car go to the main tents to the trophy presentation, you’ve won your class!” At that point they gave her a ribbon, and off she went.
Very cool!!
