Zimmco Wins a Best-Of-Show
Hi Everyone, Congratulations are in order because FordBarn Member Zimmco won a Best-Of-Show award today in Maryland at the beautiful Howard County Living Farm Heritage Museum. http://www.farmheritage.org/
He debuted his freshly restored Dearborn Blue 1935 'Pickup' and it looks like it could have been sitting on the showroom floor. The paint was perfect but not over-done, the interior perfect, the engine compartment was so clean and impressively sorted, the wiring, everything on this truck is just cool. There were nearly seventy entries, probably fifteen or more FordBarn members were in attendance, a great turnout, considering everyone woke-up to light rain. A wide variety from Model A's to a 2000+ model years. Some of our member families traveled through states to attend this meet driving three cars over seventy miles! There was a panel of three judges, and full-disclosure, I was one of them. Great restoration on a really cool vehicle! Maybe Zimmco or another 'Barner who was at the show will post a few photos? Edit: Photos of all cars and people at this show welcome!

Jeff, just by some coincidence I happen to have a couple pictures of Al's beautiful '35 pickup taken at the show today....

Re: Zimmco Wins a Best-Of-Show
I forgot to mention a couple things in my picture post.....
As I understand, Al did everything on this truck himself except for the paint, and that was done by "The Bad Donkey Garage" in Hanover, Pa. They have done some very excellent work on 4 or 5 cars owned by members of our EFV-8 Club, RG36. Also, for those who plan to go to the EFV-8 C/A, Eastern National Meet this June, in Charlotte/Concord, NC, you will get to see Al's beautiful pickup in person.

Re: Zimmco Wins a Best-Of-Show
Beautiful truck, but the engine pictures bring up the question, did the trucks come with cast iron, engine green color intake manifolds?
