Congrats! It is fun to be recognized. Yaaller car and all!
I was not too many hundred miles from you in 1998. Evansville, IN and lucked out at a cruise in too.
My Classic Car was filming at the Sonic and me 'n the Snake got on TV. Pretty short interview, because my TV persona stinks, but there none the less.
Sounds like we both have a bit left of the old 15 minutes of fame and glory.
See if you can get a scan or picture of the plaque to post. I'd like to see it. I'm sure the rest of the gang would too.
