I haven't spent as much time on the FordBarn as I did before I launched the Cigar City Concours d'Elegance. Last year was the inaugural on Veterans Day, Sunday November 11, 2018. We had a total of 307 vehicles on the field, eighty of which were Concours Judged. This years event will take place on Saturday & Sunday, November 9th & 10th at Tampa Bay Downs thoroughbred racetrack. This event is not limited or restricted to Early Ford vehicles in fact, we had and will again have classic cars from museums, individual collections, etc. The website is: CigarCityConcours.com. If any of you are interested in attending, tickets are available on the website and at the event.

Vic, thanks for the update. Would love to get down there to attend your show, but just not in the cards for this year. Hoping all goes as well for your show this year, as it did last.

Maybe Kube could somehow make arrangements to enter some of his high point '39/'40 Ford restorations in the Cigar City Concours d'Elegance. I'm sure it would be a great experience for many folks to get to see some of the cars he has done.
