Thanks to all the participants, sponsors and spectators for helping make our first ever Deutsche Marque Show a great time and great success!

Thanks to pics by the Deutsche Marque girls (don’t miss their pics in the link below), sweepstakes raffle ticket sales, direct donations by sponsors and the “spray paint the p.o.s. car” activity, we’ve raised approx $1.5k for PAWs Stoppers. PAWs Stoppers is an all volunteer group totally reliant upon donations for its operation, and this is a huge amount for them. Thank you all.

Further, at the onset we told ourselves that 50 cars would be a success for our first year, and we hit 58 cars! Even better, we had some awesome machinery on display and all German marques were represented (except for Opel, who knew?).

We’re discussing ideas to enhance for next year, and your feedback in this area is most welcome.

Pics from the event are available below, thanks to Shawn and available for purchase with proceeds donated to PAW Stoppers. Shawn does awesome work, so this is a great opportunity and a good deed to get yourself a nice glamour shot enlargement! In addition to traditional shots/angles, what also stands out are Shawn’s detail shots, which are just plain cool. For Prints or Hi Resolution Images, please contact Shawn at:
