The Spirit of Águas de Lindóia

Here it is folks. The car which should have been given the "Best in Show" at the "Evento Paulista de automóveis antigos". For those of you unfamiliar with portuguese, the plaque under the license plate reads "1929 Ford - all original, including engine and gearbox. Value: R$180.000,00 [about US $100k ] - but it is not for sale. Owner: Gaspar, owner of the "Grande Hotel" in Campinas Goiania". Priceless. Really priceless. Not to say classy.
This shows exactly in which state was the event found dead: people who don´t know shit about cars, flashing around their money (for that is all it takes to put your car in the park), and saying "My car was in Lindóia", or worse, "I got a trophy in Lindóia for my car". All the meaning is gone. Too bad. It was a fun gathering.
