 NORTHWOOD RETIREMENT RESORT SHOW & SHINE

This may be the 1984 Mercedes 380 SL that took second place for Post War Foreign Class 

at the Sunny Daze 2024 May Tour.

We beat the rain and had a great show with 20 cars.
There were a lot of people looking at the cars and filling out the voting forms. Everyone loved the cars and every car received votes!
After a wonderful BBQ lunch including ice cream treats for dessert.
They awarded prizes 
Most of prizes only had one or two votes separating them from second place.
