The Carolina Open Car Classic and Hot Rod Run was held last weekend at historic Boone Hall Plantation. A magnificent location for a car show and one that is only a mile or so down the road from my house, so no excuses not to attend. This was the last big car show of the season in Charleston, and despite the slightly muddy field from rain the day before, turnout was strong. My own Best of Show would have gone to a gorgeous, 1950 Ford Tudor Sedan. Immaculately restored and bone stock. I also wish I had $10k burning a hole in my pocket to purchase a beautiful, black on maroon 1963 Buick Wildcat Hardtop Sedan. It's a vehicle owned by a local chef in Charleston that I know who was nice enough to let me take this baby for a spin several years ago. A two-owner car with the bucket seats, center console tach and 425 cubic inch "Wildcat 445" engine package (445-FT-LB of torque), very nice...
