Still a Winner

 Sunday July 30, 2017 the Four A's Car Club hosted a car show at the VFW In Three Oaks, Michigan. It was a beautiful day for a car show and many great cars came out to show off. This is a judged event and there were many different classes for the cars present.

The Mini Mark went thru judging and when the day was over, awarded second place in it's class. This was the biggest trophy it has taken, and that is in a literal sense. As you can see from the second picture here it is a large trophy. If you own or drive a MIni Mark, you very well know the restrictions for space. With a lawn chair, cooler, car display board, and other items, there wasn't much room left to drive the trophy home. 

Propped up in the front seat and with a hand on it most of the way home car and trophy finally pulled into the garage. Many many thanks to the Four A's for the show. They have a small group of eighteen members, but put on a first class show. 

The car shows I go to aren't about winning trophy's. I go to show off the car and educate people on it. I would say eight out of ten people who come up think it is a kit car. I have a large car display board which shows the plant and all the cars going thru, I have a sentence on the board, "not a kit car" but I keep getting that comment. A guess is you do as well? As I have said before, many many cars since the very first ones went off to coach shops for custom bodies. The Mini Mark in reality is not any different. Custom bodies were molded and installed on VW frames, frames which went thru a refurbish before being assembled. After explaining all the facts and talking with those who stop, they walk away a bit better informed. Most walk away with "I never knew that" and that it was a factory built car in Indiana. 

Enjoy your Mini Mark, take it out and show it off, take it out and explain what it is all about. Spread the word! Above all have fun with your car!
