Last report on first-ever West Seattle Junction Car Show: Winners!

That video shows a classic car revving up at the West Seattle Junction Car Show this afternoon (so loud, our camera’s mike had a little trouble coping!) – just as awards were handed out. Dave Dunn‘s ’41 Willys won the top award of the show, named in honor of the co-presenting Maple Valley Street Rats‘ Gary Parker, who died earlier this year. We also snagged a photo of Dave (plaid shirt) and his trophy with other event organizers, including our main info source, Michael Hoffman from Liberty Bell Printing (far left):

We don’t have the full official list of winners – they were rattled off faster than we could write – but we did want to note one other recipient – youngest participant, Steve Becker, 16 years old, who brought a 1941 Buick (not shown):

Now a few more pics, as promised:

For one, we never did show the crowd – and the turnout was dandy, even BEFORE the sun came out:

Eddie Longo sent these next two pix:

We’ll be checking with the Junction Association and Street Rats this week about the prognosis for whether we can count on a second annual Junction Car Show, since this one appears to have been a hit. Thanks again to everybody who shared their pix, including those in this earlier report (we also published a few preshow pix this morning, see ’em here).

    Please forgive us – that’s what we were told at the scene but maybe someone was pointing at one car and we saw the other. We’ll amend copy asap.

    A great event, I would have to say that alot more people attended this street closure than the Alki one a couple of weeks ago.

Sorry, comment time is over.
