Orak Shriners Car Show

 

Saturday, August 16. The weather was overcast but beautiful and the possibility of rain held off as I took our Mini Mark to the local Orak Shriners Car Show in Michigan City, IN. Lots of cars of all ages, and brands with even more car enthusiasts out enjoying all the cars. At three o'clock when the awards were announced the Mini Mark was fortunate to receive a "60-76 Custom Class" award.
This show was a bit different than most the car has been to in the last year as the Shriners had a panel of judges inspect the cars (it was not done by popular vote). This meant that the cars were judged on condition and merits, not by popularity. Our record book of each phase of the rebuild helped I think to show what condition the car was in when purchased compared to the beauty it is now. I think it also helped that we did all of the work ourselves except for the paint. There were many compliments on the car, and as usual a new group of people who up until today were not aware of the Bremen Mini Mark.
