Springfield Ohio Car Show May 27, 28, and 29th 2011


This show was sponsored by Marlin Auto Club and was a great success with 26 AMCs participating from Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Michigan including 7 Marlins.  This year the Gremlin was the featured car and 7 Gremlins appeared for the show. 

The 40” x 75” AFGAN in AMC colors donated by Marlin Auto Club member Paul Straka raffle was won by Ken Knipper from Milbourne, KY.  He was not there but it was taken by Jimmy and Chris Patterson who will deliver it to Ken.  The Marlin Auto Club received $119 from the raffle.

The Marlins and Gremlins competed for 33 Trophies: Marlin Best in Show, 1st, 2nd, & 3rd Place plus Gremlin Best in Show, 1st, 2nd, & 3rd Place.  “Top 25” Trophies were also awarded to all participants and a Best in Show Trophy.  These trophies were provided by the Marlin Auto Club.  A special trophy was presented in memory of Don Childs to Bob Reisinger who started the Springfield Show along with Sam Roth and Bob Reisinger.  We also had special Daily Driver Award for Paul Adams in memory of Tom Bunsey who always drove his classics.  These trophies were donated by Bob Childs.
