I think the show is a great idea, these cars still celebrate nastalgia. I could just do without the motto. " celebrating the oddball, mundane and truly awful of the automotive world"

The top 10 finalists will be posted to Hagerty.com/sweetestlemon for public vote, and the winner will receive an all-expense-paid trip to the 2011 Concours dLeMons where he/she will lead the opening day tour and display his or her Sweetest LeMon celebrity car at the Hagerty booth.

I'll be there again this year. Last year's show was a riot, especially when we drove a bunch of our "lemons" cars down the 17 mile drive right by the Concours De Elegance show and into Carmel. All those Lamborghini's and Ferraris were lined up and the crowds starting screaming when we drove by with Pintos and Gremlins, and there was a Lemons racer called "Frankenstang", a gutted Mustang with a huge TV on the roof playing Frankenstein movies. I'm tempted to bring my 74, not started to restore yet, wagon!!

Trailer parking might be a little tight this year. The location is pretty small. I can recommend a LARGE parking lot at UC-Monterey Bay by the football field. Room for several hundred semi's over there. unload there and drive her over to the show!!

come on folks get signed up, this is going to be a fun one!!!

Go to this link to vote http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/598851/cf0ee4f01020
 
There are four Pinto's to choose from
My Boss 302 Pinto
Louise 1976 which escaped the junk yard
Dave's Cruisng Wagon (original owner)
and the disco ball Pinto
 
Go vote, I believe the last one goes every year and is a California car, so the other three would actually not be going if they don't win. If one of them wins, this would be their first and probably only trip.
 
It doesn not post who is in the lead, so go vote for your favorite.  One vote per computer.

I honestly think Louise's or Dave's have the best shot as far as the Pintos go, just because they are pretty original, but the plaid interior in Louise's is very nice. Hard to say cause I love that Cruisin' Wagon!!


Hope one of them gets in. Would be nice to see the winner out here in CA!

Sorry to hear that guys. The Pacer is just so dam ugly and that's the kind of thing I think they look for. I recently noticed a yellow one in a driveway not too far from here under a car cover.

Just a case of too many Pinto's.  All of the Pinto's should have won.  :happy_bday:
 
Those pacers are evil!  They tried to kill Lightning McQueen.  :devil:
 
Congrats to the Pacer, it is more rare than us.  :drunk:
 
To Joe and all the guys going, have fun!
 
To all those who voted for us, thank you, I guess I was meant to keep the rest of my money this month.

I'll be sure to shoot some video of the day and maybe if some of us do a little stampede there. The next stampede video is getting close. I'm adding some new features to make it more interesting to anyone who wasn't there. Should be pretty cool when I'm done. Working on it all day today....

Can't make it in a Pinto this year. Someone backed into my '77. Good news, I found the best body shop in northern CA to fix her ($7400, God I love classic car insurance). I will be at Concorso Italiano on Friday so we'll see if I can swing both.
