The Gateway to the Delta Festival in Charleston had a car show that featured a wide array of automobiles — from a vintage 1929 Ford Model A sedan to an ultra-modern 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 pickup, and even one tractor.
Charleston Mayor Sedrick Smith Sr., who organized the show, said trophies were presented to all entrants who returned their form to him.
Buddy Furniss, with the 1929 Ford Model A, was judged the overall winner.
Ike Sayle’s 1961 Chevrolet Corvette was honored as the best in class.
Paul Griffin was recognized for having the entry with the best paint. His 1981 Toyota 4x4 truck was painted yellow and orange.
John Ball Burnett of Charleston had the most entries, four, and thus received the greatest number of trophies. He entered a 1978 Ford Bronco, a 1982 Jeep J10, a 1987 Ford Mustang and a 1995 Ford Bronco.
