Unfortunately, Friday is the only day I can attend during the week. So if my math is correct, the cost for putting my car in the Popular vote show on Friday would be $94 as a member of GTOAA or $104 without GTOAA membership. Is this correct?

Sorry to hear that

There have been many articles written over the years about doppelgangers, fraudulent titles, re-stamped blocks, cowl tags swapped out, etc. Many have been victimized by deceitful ads, or a misrepresentation of a car. The list goes on and on.
Well respected attorney Bruce Shaw is an expert in legal matters regarding matters like this. Mr. Shaw will be conducting a seminar on collector car fraud at our 2018 GTOAA Convention. His Seminar is tentatively scheduled for Thursday evening June 28, 2018 at 7 PM at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center. Come listen to attorney Shaw and learn how to protect yourself from fraudulent ads and what options you have if you have been victimized. http://www.shawlaws.com/carfraud2.html https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4709/...552df289_z.jpg |
Seminar Schedule is set. All are confirmed for the days and times below.

JUST ADDED
Special Announcement to the 2018 GTOAA International Convention: Just added to the Special Display Field in the concours arena: 1964 PONTIAC BANSHEE PROTOTYPE-XP-833 This is the only 1964 Banshee coupe in the world. Designed by GM Executive John DeLorean to compete with Ford’s Mustang, the Banshee prototype was killed by GM brass as they viewed the concept would hurt Corvette sales. The Banshee was supposed to be scrapped but a GM employee convinced GM to sell him the car. The car was driven less than 1500 miles. The car boasts a sweeping hood, short deck styling, with a 2200 pound fiberglass body over steel under-body. The styling cues influenced GM cars in the future like the 1968 Corvette and many future GM products to come. This rare car is all original just the way the prototype was developed. This museum piece has been in all history books of GM since 1964. Make sure you register for the Convention so you can get an up-close look at this rare car. For most, it may be he only chance you will ever get to see it. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/827/4...46cddffa_z.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/962/4...31201c26_z.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/964/4...2cb2eb6a_z.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/964/4...32616b4e_z.jpg |
