2011 Wings & Wheels Car, Truck &
Motorcycle Show Attracts 297 Vehicles
Saturday, October 8, 2011
        "It was difficult to pick the trophy winners because there were so many spectacular vehicles," said Show Chairman Bob Dubiel. "But 40 volunteer judges looked at each one and we gave away trophies to the top-scoring 113 vehicles."  Each vehicle was scored on the condition and appearance of its paint job, exterior components, and its interior and engine compartment.  And cars could get an extra 1 to 5 points for any special presentation elements like signs, photos, car history, etc.
