Mustangs, MGs and Muscle Cars Vie for Best of Show

Rockport-Fulton, Texas (February 22, 2010) – The Corpus Christi MG Car Club presents the 19th Annual  Rockport Sports and Classic Auto Show at the national award winning Blue Wave Rockport Beach Park from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday, March 27. 

This event is the major fund raiser for education assistance donated by the MG Car Club.

Last year the club gave a $400 scholarship per semester to students of the Del Mar College Auto Technology curriculum.  Similar gifts are planned for 2010.

There will be 19 different automobile classes which will include MGs, foreign, muscle cars, antiques pre-1941, and race cars (not street legal).  There will also be Corvettes ranging from 1953 through 2010; and Mustangs from 1964 through 2010.  Judging starts at noon.  Awards will be presented for each class as well as additional awards for Best of Show and the Best Club display.  The awards presentation begins at 3 p.m. 

Vendors will have lots of products to keep your antique or new car looking great.  Food vendors will be on hand selling hamburgers, hot dogs, snow cones and drinks.

There’s an opportunity to sell your car at the Car Corral.  Pre-registration is $20 per vehicle and $20 on the day of the show.  No commission will be charged.

Although the event is free, Rockport Beach Park parking fees do apply.  The daily fee is $4 per vehicle, or $10 for a 12-month pass.  Vehicles may come and go from the park all day with the pass.
