2009 Award Winners
The Winner of the 2009 TCCS Best in Show was this 1941 Cadillac Convertible, Bruce and Susan White. Bruce worked at Raytheon, and in his spare time enjoyed restoring cars. The ’41 Convertible was his favorite, having one of the first – automatic transmissions, its engine is the same as those used in tanks during WWII, and it’s tail light lifts to reveal the gas cap. A smart way of hiding the gas cap. Bruce’s son attended the 2018 TCCS to announce he is looking to sell this beautiful piece of automotive history.
