September 7, 2014: The Red Car makes its debut on the show circuit at Chicago's annual British Union Car Show!
The weather was great and the show was very well-attended, with something like 500 British cars on site:
The Red Car, keeping good company with the Rolls Royces and the Bentleys:
And here's the competition...a long line of Austin Healeys:
It made us proud and happy to see how much attention our car got. Lots of people were checking it out and taking pictures. The awards were given on a "crowd favorite" vote and it looked like we got a few votes (besides our own)! We didn't win, though. We think that the ballot box may have been stuffed in favor of a very nice couple, fellow Austin Healey Club members who invited us all over for BBQ after the show. Considering that, and that they do have a lovely Healey, they deserved it.
