Peninsula Automotive hosted the 11th Annual Car Show on Sunday, September 11, 2011. It was such a great day for the many families and friends who joined us for the fun and excitement. Participants enjoyed a record number of beautiful Volkswagens showing for 1st and 2nd place, Peoples’ Choice, and Best of Show awards. VW enthusiasts wandered the swap area and Valve Cover Racers competed for 1st and 2nd place awards in two different age groups, while others enjoyed the annual store discounts going-on inside the showroom.
A record-setting 76 cars participated in the car show this year. Below are this year’s show results. Click on each winner to see a picture of his or her car. We want to thank everyone who came out, participated, and made this the best Car Show yet!
