I took jezebelle to a Mopar show Saturday. First time out without Ellie. She was looking forward to attending this show and was going to be registering the show cars as they arrived. It was a tough drive over without Ellie's physical presence but She was riding with me, smiling and happy as always.
About 80 Mopars, some VERY nice restorations. Jezebelle won another award ..... just shows that even if Ellie was not there, she is still a winner.

Some pictures.

Thanks a lot, Wil for all that MOPAR ****. Question: Do the judges add or deduct points for stuffed animal displays?

Really good to hear from you.

...

You do realize that pink flamingos are not stuffed animals. They are blow-molded polyethylene. Sounds better than plastic, so it shouldn't affect the point count.

Looks like you had fun! Great pics. So many of those mopars raise a smile thinking of dad. I can't walk by that 340 Duster grille, a Shaker hood or Air Grabber without a smile.

Way to go Will! Jazabelle is magnificent! I can almost taste that jambalaya.

some folks from Big Easy Mopars in New Orleans were there cooking up huge pots of Gumbo, Jambolia and red beans & rice from scratch. They do this at every event they attend and then feed everyone for free.
I was enlisted to stir the Gumbo from start to finish. It's a real honor for them to trust an old northern boy with their Gumbo. I healed a little.

That is quite the display of trust.

Thanks for sharing this day with us... looks like the rest of us missed another good time.
