Excellent. I'm firing up OpenAI for some design work... thanks
Keep the photos and ideas coming.
perhaps the "Sharpest" trophy I ever received. At a Voc-Tec School, received a hand painted circular saw blade for "Best Car"
14" DeWalt Metal cutting blade
I've got plenty of trophies with my car. Here is my Absolute favorite.
It is from the 2024 Geneva Concours, held annually in Geneva Illinois. It's 13" tall, weighs about 7 pounds because it is metal. When the Chairman handed it over, he said "grab it with both hands 'cause if you drop it, it will dent your car". Geneva Concours uses Carl Benz as the figure because he is credited with inventing the automobile. Comes with a brass engraved plate for the year and car class.
I'd like to propose a change in the figure. How about Carroll Shelby? Cowboy hat and bid overalls.
Or then, possibly Rick Kopec.
I'm pretty sure the trophy might be able to be made in plated plastic to reduce the weight and expense.
This is for a non Blue Oval product. Best of show at the annual High River Classic 2022, the largest show in southern Alberta. It weighs a ton. IMG_1656 c (600 x 429).jpgIMG_0785 (429 x 600).jpg
Received the same IL Geneva trophy for my Aston Martin and think it would be great for the 50th-Make it of Carroll.
Have had a fair number of trophies with some of my Shelby's but always included them to the buyer.Figured it belongs to the car!
Years ago, I would frequent area car shows. Indifferent to trophies. Later, gladly paying the registration fee to support sponsoring charities. Find a place to park on the show grounds. Walk around, say hello to friends, suffer the intolerable do-whop music, and leave. I'd rather drive my car than try to impress strangers. Always puzzled by the old guy, sitting alone in a lawn chair with a professional placard extolling it's one of the 2000, in 200,000.
Jubilee is 50 years and ford started the crest sign to celebrate 50th year of ford and started making the jubilee tractor with a crest with wheat sign on it. Use the ford crest and put saac on top where ford was and put 5 and 0 where the top 2 gold lions were and a cobra snake where the bottom gold lion is on the crest as there were 3 lions on red white blue background with brass bars separating the colors with lions.The ford crest with 3 lions was the english sign for the ford family originally from england i was told and the ac cobra car was originally built in england.
