How many cars in Fine Point Judging in Canada

[RockHillWill]

Has anyone heard how many cars are in fine point judging at the Canadian meet? What kind of cars were they??? I could not go this year. I am still consumed by the Bugatti body build.

A Bugatti body build? Wow! I am heading over there now I will post the number later. I hope to get some nice pics, too.

Eight, six are restorations, two original. Fine point judging is going on now. No pictures yet.

Actually there are 9 cars in Fine Point judging at Niagara Falls - 7 restored and 2 original. Original cars were a 1928 Canadian Phaeton owned by Everett Hessel and my wife's 1930 US Town Sedan.

Oldest car was a November 1927 Phaeton (beautiful car) plus 2 - 1928, 1 - 1929, 2 - 1930, 3 - 1931

Even though I was judging them I can't remember the models - I know there were 2 - Phaeton (1 original), 1 - 1930 Original Town Sedan, 1 - Fordor, 1 - 1931 Special Delivery, 1 - 1931 Roadster, 1 - Sport Coupe and can not recall the other 4 cars at the moment.

I will get them at the Grand Tour tomorrow

Will,

We all missed you today judging the fine point cars. In addition to the cars mentioned there was a beautiful business coupe from your neck of the woods.

How did my friend Everett make out ? Wayne

[clo2jim]

We will not know how Everett or any of the other 8 fine point cars made out until the Awards Banquet Friday night.

Hey Hunter, I sure wish I could have joined you all this time. The '29 Business Coupe belongs to Rick Nance. He's there trying to get his second Henry. Best of luck to all that put all the time and effort into getting their fine point cars ready and showing up.

That 27 phaeton was at the last MAFCA national. Fun to see it.

Was the 27 phaeton Dean Drenzek's car? I thought he won a Henry award last year. If it is his car, I am surprised he entered it again. His car is the only 27 phaeton I know of. I saw it last year at French Lick - very nice car.

[Hunter]

Yes Dean's car.

[Gary Karr]

Rusty, Dean returned with A495 and put it into judging to receive his Master Restoration. He did receive his Henry last year in French Lick but is not eligible for another Henry once he already received it.

Gary,
Thanks for the update about Dean's car. It sounds like there weren't nearly as many fine point cars at the meet this year as in past years. I wonder how the swap meet (number of participants) went this year?

Hi Gary!

Sure missed you being here at the meet. Hope to see you at the next one if not before. Thanks for clarifying why Dean entered his car again after winning the Henry. I was wondering the same thing as Rusty.

The swap meet was very small. I believe that's because of the problem crossing the border with parts to sell. Customs and all that. Bratton's had a display there with some of their newer offerings but could not sell anything. I'm thinking there might have been 5 vendors. The two largest were Canadians selling parts. One of which was donations from the Canadian club members for the club treasury. Brattons display and a man named Bob selling radiator additives. The other I don't recall.

Two guys selling used parts, Brattons, a guy selling what looked liked cleaners, a wood guy and Antique Engine Rebuilders from IL.

[clo2jim]

There were 3 guys from Canada selling used parts, all members of the Model A Owners of Canada - Everett Hessel was one of them. Twiss Antiques Auto Parts was also there selling parts, besides Classic Wood Products from Greensboro NC, Brattons, the Cleaners guy and the Antique Engine Rebuilders who gave a seminar of building touring engine

4 of the fine point had pics taken at the Botanical Gardens. On the way one had the coil wire slide out of the coil and coasted to a stop, then the battery was weak and had problems restarting. Another had black smoke billowing out the tail pipe. and the 3rd was running real rough. Yes, I was one of the 3. The only one that ran flawless was the Business Coupe. Everyone made it and All is well..........

This hobby would be sooooooooooo boring if we didn't have some challenges.

They had a crane that lifted up over the trees at the park to take a pictures of the A's all lined in the field. There was so many I think the picture would have to be stitched together or take it with the widest wide angle lens. What a beautiful sight. The most A's I've ever seen in one place. It warmed my heart,

Should of been held in Buffalo NY!
