2013 car show winner Bill West and the 1939 La Salle.

Foothill Classics Car Show a success in many ways

   More than 175 spectacular pre-1976 cars were driven from all around the Mother Lode to participate in Saturday’s Foothill Classics Car Show in Valley Springs.

   This year’s show and swap meet at Veterans Memorial Park was the 10th annual hosted by the Valley Springs-based car club and organizers said it was a “resounding success.”

   Judges had a real struggle to pick the finest cars in the Best of Show, Best Upholstery, Best Engine and Best Paint categories as well as the judge's individual preferences for the Club Choice category. The judges independently inspected all the aspects of each car and documented their picks. Surprisingly, when they got together to summarize their choices for the final list there was a significant overlap in their individual lists. It was unanimous though which car was the choice for the Best of Show. It was Bill West's 1938 La Salle driven from Copperopolis.

   Another big winner was the Calaveras High School automotive technology class members who had a booth in the show for the first time. The Foothill Classics Car Club is a significant supporter of the automotive technology department and of the students participating in the classes. They have struggled over the years to get a donation of a newer vehicle that has the computer-control systems all modern cars have. Having one of those vehicles on which to practice the skills that are being taught is an important part of the learning process.

   The club's main goal was to help the class solicit a donation during the show. They succeeded. One show attendee offered a newer van and two others said they would be interested in a donation. More than one vehicle is a bonus because it allows more access to the different kinds of vehicles that they will encounter in the future. The students were also able to get cash donations for their travel expenses to other schools to participate in auto technology competitions.

   The club is deeply appreciative of all the local business that sponsored the show with donations of cash, prizes and gift certificates for the raffles. Forty-one businesses participated as sponsors of the show. A list of the sponsors can be found on the club's website: foothillclassicscarclub.com.
