Hi All
Here’s some pics from the 6th Annual HotRod & Restoration Trade Show “Grand Opening Breakfast”, a very special morning with Robert E. Petersen founder of HOTROD & Petersen Publishing and Petersen Museum and Honored Guest George Barris... Recipient of the “Robert E. Petersen Lifetime Achievement Award”. Well over 700 were in attendance to show their respect to the “KING OF KUSTOM”.    Barry Meguiar, President and CEO of Meguiar’s Car Care Products and host of the popular TV show “Car Crazy”, joined Robert Petersen and a few other surprise guests onstage to honor George Barris, recipient of this year’s Robert E. Petersen Lifetime Achievement Award.  “Barry is truly “crazy” about cars!!  He has interviewed George Barris a number of times on Car Crazy, and is sure to bring out some great “old stories” that we would never hear otherwise!”  So, without further ado, let’s get on with the viewing!!! Enjoy... “Big Al”!!!
