So, with bad news came opportunity:
The good news is, Adrian has been accepted into the field and will be shown in November at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals (MCACN) in Chicago, and she will be featured in a special "Unveilings" portion of the show Saturday morning. This segment of the show is reserved for significant muscle cars that have recently completed concour restorations and have not been shown since the completion of the restoration.
The timing and type of featured segment of the MCACN show fit perfect for Adrian's unveiling. In fact, we've pretty much surmised that based on Adrian's history, this may be the first time Adrian has ever been shown in a car show format!
This year's unveilings has another significant Trans Am, namely a '69 Trans Am prototype so it should be a lot of fun.
Here's a link to the MCACN website 'Show Features' page.

And here's a list of the cars that will be unveiled:

As mentioned before in this post, and identified on Adrian's website, she will be shown for the first time in the 'unveilings' portion of the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals this November.
MCACN has a weekly email blast that does a great job of communicating special features and information that will be a part of this years' show. Even if you're not going to MCACN this year, it's fun to see the weekly e-blasts so I thought I'd plug it for them.
And.... who knows what cars may show up in the weekly email updates in the weeks leading up to the show
Here's a link to the MCACN website homepage. From there you can sign up for email blasts and sign up to get a free .pdf copy of their show program.
