    I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall at the bar in the Detroit Athletic Club. How many drunk designers do you think drew next years fins on cocktail napkins. I think at time the big three were closer than you think.

    Congratulations Joe! the Buick looks really sweet. I agree with Mercman that your wagon had good company - two of my bucket list cars! Really photogenic. You'll let us know if you made the calendar, right? I have a good feeling about that....

    As a fly, I would rather have visited the walls of the bars of which the designers were hanging out at, if it was about getting down to how fins were to appear on future classic cars:

    I don't think my car made the cut for the finalists, but I will post an update when I have the results.

    Well, I have heard nothing from the Auto Value calendar car contest folks. That means we didn't get into the list of top 20 finalists.

    Thanks to everyone who voted for us!

    Bummer. But in our eyes, you certainly have a winner!
