Amherstburg’s Gone Car Crazy drew an estimated 710 cars to the downtown area with a father-son team earning the show’s top prize in their car’s debut. John and Steven Walsh of Harrow brought their 1966 Chevy 2 Nova SS to the show for the first time and ended up winning the Paulie Award, the best in show trophy named in memory of event co-founder and former town councillor Paul Renaud. “It’s fantastic,” Steven said of the award. “It’s the first car show (with this vehicle). We’ve been building it for ten years.” The father-son pair inherited it from John’s brother Bruce, who passed away. It has been in the Walsh family since the 1970’s and has had many uses, including as a drag car. They rebuilt it in Bruce’s memory. “We built it to drive it,” said John, noting Bruce “would be pretty proud right now.” Steven added they plan on entering the car in many more events and shows. “We’re the happiest dudes in Essex County right now,” he said Sunday afternoon.
